Bhai Jaitajee Foundation students excel

Chandigarh, July 16

Of the 31 students of Bhai Jaitajee Foundation, an associate of St Soldier School, Sector 28, and AKSIPS, Mohali, 27 have scored more than 90 per cent in the CBSE Class XII exams.

Five students have scored more than 95 per cent. The students have brought cheer to families facing economic challenges across Punjab. “The feature of their achievement is tackling the double challenge of preparing for IIT/JEE/NEET and also performing exceptionally well in their board examination. These students are from small towns and villages of Punjab where quality education and coaching for competitive exams is non-existent. Bhai Jaitajee Foundation has endeavoured to fulfil this need and is committed to making Punjab standout in competitive exams,” said of the members of the foundation. Every year, 30 students are selected for free residential schooling and high-quality coaching for two years. — TNS
