15 Students of “MICE IIT-JEE training” SELECTED IN IIT-JEE 2008

15 Students trained in the second batch of IIT-JEE training “VIJETHA”, at MICE Udupi are selected in IIT-JEE 2008 which was held on 13^th April 2008.

The examination was conducted at more than 600 centres across the country. Of the 3,11,258 candidates who appeared in the examination, 8,652 candidates have been declared qualified to seek admission for the 6,872 seats in IIT’s. Thus the all India success rate this year is around 2.77%. One of the important features of this year’s result is that reservation for the other backward classes has been implemented and a separate list for such candidates has been declared.

An extended merit list has also been drawn to facilitate admission to other government institutions like Indian Institute of Space-Science Technology, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Rajiv Ghandi Institute of Petroleum Technology, Indian Institute of Maritime Studies, etc..

In the previous years the average selection from Udupi and Mangalore combined was 1 or 2 and there was a general opinion that getting into IIT was impossible. MICE started the training with the aim of changing this opinion and this has been proved by the above results as well as their results in 2007 where nine students of MICE IIT-JEE training program were selected. This proves that we do have very intelligent students in this region but there was a lack of proper guidance. Now MICE has overcome this void by providing excellent training and guidance to the intelligent students aspiring to study at the IIT’s of the country.

The selected students are:

Uttam –AIR 566	Mervin –AIR 931			Pradeep – AIR 1991			Shreyas –AIR 2024
Srikant-AIR 2450	Kateeb-AIR 2749			Amarnath-AIR 2896			Ashwin-AIR 3796
Deeraj S –AIR 3946	Akshat-AIR 4770			Ferdie –AIR 4971			Sharath-AIR 5544
