KOLKATA: Extreme thirst to achieve the desire, continuous hard work, only positive thinking and great patience – are the four success mantra for Anand Kumar, the acclaimed creator of Super 30. Social media, cellphones, television are a strict no-no for the IIT aspirants, prescribe the veteran trainer who have been widely renowned for coaching candidates successfully cracking the IIT-JEE examination termed as one of the toughest entrance examination. “It is a tough going for the Whatsapp, Facebook and Twitter generation if the first thing one does is to wake up and check their social website accounts. To crack the IIT-JEE, one needs dedication and concentration which is absent in most,” said Anand Kumar while addressing a packed house of students and parents inside the Science City Auditorium on Saturday.

Narrating his experience as a teacher who have been credited to have scripted as many as 333 success stories out of 390 JEE aspirants at his coaching centre, Kumar pointed out that during the two years of training the chosen 30 students do not have any access to social networking sites. “I do not subscribe to newspapers for them. All the students need to continuously think about study and solving problems. I believe social networking sites are nothing more than distraction for the students aspiring to crack the examination,” added Anand Kumar.

In a bid to improve chances of students from Bengal cracking the IIT-JEE, Super 30 has joined hands with Adamas Career. “Next year after the board examinations end we will organize test in five places across Bengal including Durgapur, Burdwan, Midnapur, Siliguri and Kolkata. The selected 30 under privileged students will be taken to Patna where they will be given coaching for two years along with the other 30 students,” said Anand Kumar. The cost will be borne by Adamas Career.

However only the selected few will not be the only one to rip the benefit of IIT-JEE training, “I will also hold a 10-day crash course where we will try to solve the problems in detail and try to dig deeper into the problems,” Kumar said. Even the aspirants from privileged section of the society may participate in a 10-15 days crash course which may be organized by Super 30. “From 2016 we may plan to hold online classes,” the creator of Super 30 added.

Once the session got over, students of Adamas International School tried to reach out to Kumar who gave out quite a few tips. Standing in the queue to meet Kumar on stage was Jyotishko Roy – a class X student from the school. He asked why was History and Geography equally important for an IIT aspirant? To which Kumar answered, “it is important to gain knowledge in each subject and not only science. Moreover weightage is still attached to the marks in class XII examination for selection in IIT’s.”

Samit Ray, chairman of Rice Group and chancellor of Adamas University said, “we want students to be equipped with all the information and details required to crack entrance examinations. By associating with Super 30, we want to give our students guarantee and satisfaction that we are the medium for their success.”
