Chandigarh, October 16

Under the Super-100 programme, 26 state students have bagged IIT seats by clearing the JEE Advanced exam.

CM Manohar Lal Khattar will felicitate these students at a state-level function on October 22 in Panchkula.

A spokesperson of the Education Department said in the session 2019-21, a total of 119 students had completed their training in Rewari and Panchkula centres, of which 54 cleared the JEE (Main) examination. Of the 54, 26 have bagged seats in IIT by clearing the JEE Advanced exam.

Of the 26 students, 10 belong to the SC category.

The Super 100 programme was started in 2018 for the meritorious students of government schools to prepare for entrance examinations of JEE and NEET. Under the programme, the cost of lodging, food, stationery, transport and mock tests is borne by the state. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
