After the results were announced and the students were ecstatically exchanging sweets, a pressman asked one of the students as to what he thought was so unique about the teaching process of Super 30. The student did not waste a moment to say that the teachers make the students think for themselves.

Preparing for and appearing in the IIT JEE examination is, by all accounts, a very testing and painful process, both for the students as well as their parents and peer group. If this pain needs to be minimised, then the principle of ‘anaesthetisation’ has to be applied. At Super 30, we hold a very large number of tests under simulated conditions. The tests are so frequent that the students don’t get time to even groan under its pressure. Their mind is steeled. Their attitude and temperament gets conditioned to success. The thought of failure vanishes. The process is so designed that the student’s performance peaks on D-day.

A class test was being held. One of the problems in physics related to a carpet. A student quipped, “What is a carpet?” This may sound ridiculous to some. One must understand that most of the students at Super 30 come from a rural background. They do not understand words in English except those used regularly in science and mathematics. At Super 30 we help them to get over the inferiority feeling that often tends to assail them, and excel in the abilities they have. We have noticed that they manage to cover up their deficiencies during their stay in the IIT.
