Chandigarh, April 23, 2025 (Yes Punjab News)
Bringing laurels to the state of Punjab, as many as 260 students from the state government schools have qualified in the prestigious JEE (Mains) exam, a testament to the quality education being imparted in the government schools, announced S. Harjot Singh Bains, the School Education Minister, Punjab.
Addressing a press conference here at Punjab Bhawan on Wednesday evening, S. Harjot Singh Bains said that the qualified students will now appear in the JEE (Advanced) exam.
Recognising their journey, the Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Singh Mann-led Punjab Government has thoughtfully arranged free coaching classes by organising summer camp in SAS Nagar to prepare them for this JEE (Advanced) exam.
Congratulating the students, their teachers, and parents for this remarkable feat, S. Harjot Singh Bains said that the success of these students is a testament to the hard work and dedication of not only the students themselves but also their teachers and parents.
He emphasised that the Punjab government is committed to providing quality education to all students. He further stated that the government is making concerted efforts to improve the infrastructure and resources available to government schools, so that they can continue to produce top-performing students.
The Education Minister also shared the heart-touching story of JEE (Mains) qualifier, Arshdeep Singh, a student from Shaheed Flight Lt. Mohit Kumar Garg School of Eminence, Samana, who has turned hardship into hope. Hailing from Patiala district, Arshdeep scored an impressive 97.79 percentile in JEE (Mains). After losing his father, Sukhwinder Singh, life changed drastically.
His mother, Sunita Rani, is working tirelessly in a local private school to make ends meet on an income of less than one lakh annually. Despite financial struggles, she instilled in Arshdeep the value of education, hard work, and never giving up.
The support he received through the School of Eminence and the “PACE”Program made a world of difference. These initiatives didn’t just provide academic guidance—they gave him the confidence to dream bigger. Now, he is looking forward to building a better future for his family, and to someday give back to the society that shaped him, he added.
