As someone from Manipur, I'm so proud of these students! The Super-50 program is a game-changer. My cousin was in last year's batch and is now studying at AIIMS. Army's efforts in education are making real difference where government schemes often fail to reach.
While this is commendable, I wonder why such success stories only make headlines when Army is involved? Our education ministry should take notes - quality coaching shouldn't be limited to special initiatives but available to all deserving students nationwide.
Heartwarming to see such positive news from Manipur! These students' achievements against all odds show what's possible when talent meets opportunity. The 97.06 percentile score is particularly impressive - future doctors in the making! 💉
Jai Hind! This is the real nation-building work. Instead of spending crores on stadiums, we need more such initiatives that empower youth through education. Salute to our Army for going beyond their call of duty. These students will make Manipur and India proud!
As an educator, I'm amazed by these results! Clearing both NEET and JEE is no small feat. The mentorship aspect must be excellent. Would love to see the teaching methodology replicated in other states too. Education is the best investment for India's future.
