A preliminary estimate puts the number of successful candidates from the State at about 200 – including those who secured All India Ranks (AIR) and those who figured in the extended merit list announced on Monday.

Initial reports said approximately 10 students from Berhampur and another 20 from Rourkela made it to the extended merit list.
This IIT success rate is probably the best ever in the State with one student, …

Director A B Singh said 24 of its students were on the merit list, while the rest were on extended list.
Similarly, Vidwan claimed 56 students followed by Naidu with 11 and Kalinga Bharati with about 20 students.

Congratulations to all the students especially from my school JNV Mundali who have excelled in this years IIT exam. I think the special coaching has helped the students immensely. In our days (1996), we did not have the exposure about entrace tests and only focussed on CBSE exams. Also, it says a lot about the quality of study standard and students in our school..well done all and keep the flag of Navodaya schools high…thanks
