Belagavi Government College Students Secure Seats in IITs and Medical Colleges
· India · The Hindu, Indian Express
Eight students from government pre-university colleges in Belagavi have secured admissions to premier institutions, including IIT Dhanbad and IIT Rourkela, following training under the zilla panchayat’s ‘CET-Saksham’ module. The initiative provides offline mock exams and doubt-clearing sessions to help students prepare for competitive examinations like JEE and NEET. In the 2025-26 academic year, the program was expanded to include a ‘Super-50’ selection process for high-performing science students. Additionally, a ‘Super-500’ group received specialized capacity-building training to improve their performance in entrance tests. The ZP CEO Rahul Shinde credited the success to the coordinated efforts of students, teachers, and the district administration's training staff.
Why it matters
This initiative demonstrates how targeted district-level academic support can bridge the resource gap for students in government colleges, enabling them to compete for seats in elite national institutions.
