Chief Ministers Super Talented
Children Scholarship Scheme.
Under the scheme, the govern-
ment will identify 400 of the most
talented science stream students
from Class XI and Class XII and pro-
vide professional coaching and guid-
ance to them for preparation of
engineering and medical exams.
They have tied up with coaching in-
stitutes such as Aakash Institute, Vi-
dyamandir and FIITJEE, which give
specialised training to crack en-
trance exams of premier engineering
and medical colleges.
Manish Sisodia, Deputy Chief
Minister and Education Minister
said: Most of our children from gov-
ernment schools do not get into pro-
fessional institutes like IITs, NITs,
medical colleges and dental colleges.
The reason is lack of resources and
guidance during their school days.
Admission to IITs and premier med-
ical institutions is highly competi-
tive and children need not only the
regular class room teaching at the
school level but also rigorous coach-
