Competitive Exam Mentorship for Rural Talent
Overview
The Super 60 Program identifies and mentors academically gifted students from economically weaker families who aspire to study in government-aided residential schools such as Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas, Vidyagyan Schools and Atal Awasiya Vidyalayas. Through a rigorous selection process and a 9–10 month learning journey, students receive daily online coaching in Hindi, Reasoning, and Mathematics, attend bi-monthly physical boot camps, and are guided by dedicated volunteer mentors.
Each child receives a Laptop, Annual Stationery Kit, Mobile Accessories, and 12-month Recharge Support, ensuring they have the tools and access needed to succeed.
Why It Matters
In many underserved communities, talented students dream big but lack the guidance, exposure, and digital support needed to reach competitive pathways. They have potential, but not direction; ambition, but not the roadmap. The Super 60 Program bridges this gap—moving students from uncertainty to clarity, and from aspiration to achievement.
Before Super 60
- Little access to mentorship or career guidance
- Low confidence despite strong academic potential
- Students unsure how to prepare or where to begin
- Limited awareness of competitive exams and opportunities
After Super 60
- Structured coaching and personalized mentorship
- Clear understanding of pathways, exams, and future options
- Boosted confidence and academic readiness
- Students equipped to compete, qualify, and succeed
