About 581 students of Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions secured above 40 percentile in IIT-JEE Mains, 2022 and 35 students secured above 90 percentile in the results declared on Monday. Minister for SC Development Koppula Eeshwar and TSWREIS Secretary Ronald Rose congratulated the toppers on their outstanding feat and also praised the teachers for their devotion and fulfilling the aspirations of underprivileged students.
Mr. Rose thanked Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for sanctioning funds for proving top-class coaching for IIT aspirants on par with the best corporate colleges. “Every year, hundreds of students have been joining IITs/NITs and medical colleges with the support of the government. In 2021, as many as 142 and 239 students secured seats in the premier IITs/NITs and medical colleges respectively, a sign of transformation of the lives of marginalised students in Telanagana.
The success stories of social welfare residential students in national level entrance exams stand testimony to the fact that even the poorest of the poor students from rural villages can achieve their IIT dreams if right opportunities and quality education are provided,” said the secretary, in a press release.
