IIT aspirants flock to Ramaiah institute

Posted On: 05/04/2011 Updated On:

HYDERABAD: Aspirants hoping to crack the IIT made a beeline at the famed Ramaiah Institute in Nallakunta yesterday, along with their parents, as application forms for admission into the institute started being given out.

With noted mathematician and teacher Chukka Ramaiah heading the institute, it has a track record of sending the highest number of students from the state to the famed IITs.

Students and parents come from across the state to obtain application forms. The institute offers 125 general seats, 25 seats for rural students, 25 OBC seats and 10 seats for SC/ST candidates.

Last date for submission of applications is April 9 while the examination will be conducted in the last week of April.

Interestingly, several small institutes have mushroomed which woo candidates with colourful brochures and pamphlets offering training classes for admissions into the IIT Ramaiah institute. While some promise coaching for the entrance, others assure a seat in their institute if the candidate fails to make it into Ramaiah.

K Sowjanya, who is studying in Class X in the Kedriya Vidyalaya, Begumpet said she hopes to get seat in IIT Ramaiah institute to crack the IIT s.

She said that she would join any IIT and go to MIT, USA to do research in electronics.

Her father, K Ananda Rao said competition was very tough to get a seat in the institute.

"If one can crack the admission test to the insititute, he or she has more chance to get a seat in the IIT s," he said. P Padmini, who studies in Class X at Chaitanya Techno School said she has been preparing for the IITs since the last four years.

"This institute has sent 90 percent students to IITs every year," she said. L Naveen, who is a student at the Vigyan School in Vishakhapatnam said, "If I can get a get seat here, my dream of joining IIT Kharagpur will become a reality." G Madhusudhana Rao, director, Ramaiah Institute said due to the Telangana agitations, sale of applications had dropped by 2,000 this year. He reasoned that Seemandhra students were not moving to Hyderabad due to agitations but about 10,000 applications are expected to be sold.
