Telangana SC, ST gurukul students shine in JEE advanced results

Hyderabad: Students from the Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TGSWREIS) have made an emphatic mark in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced 2025, securing admissions to the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) across the country.

In a display of academic excellence, 97 students have secured direct ranks, while 132 others qualified under the preparatory ranks category, taking the total number of successful candidates to 229 out of 492 students who appeared for the examination.

This year’s performance surpasses that of 2024, when 82 students secured direct ranks and 121 secured preparatory ranks.

Speaking on the occasion, TGSWREIS secretary Dr VM Alugu Varsini, attributed the stellar outcome to the strategic training provided to JEE Main qualifiers.

“In line with the chief minister’s vision to uplift talented students from the marginalised communities, all eligible students who cleared JEE Mains were brought to our premier Centres of Excellence (COEs) and given 45 days of intensive coaching by expert faculty. This focused preparation has yielded exceptional results,” she said.

She added that building on this momentum, the Society is designing a year-long action plan to provide rigorous coaching to high-scoring students (those securing over 95% marks) from general Gurukul colleges, by relocating them to top-tier COEs including Gowlidoddi, Chilkur, Narsingi, and Karimnagar.

The special chief secretary of the scheduled castes development department (SCDD) N Sridhar, stated that the department is committed to strengthening the coaching infrastructure and expanding access to high-quality STEM education for SC students across Telangana.
