11 girls from Kasturba school clear NEET exam after receiving free coaching
This is the first time that so many girls studying in any KGBV school in the state have cleared the prestigious national-level JEE Main exam.
In addition to that, one girl from the CM School of Excellence of the district has also cleared this prestigious exam. Interestingly, all of them have achieved this success in their first attempt.
Notably, the district administration is running the 'Sampoorna Shiksha Kavach' programme to prepare the girl students for medical and engineering at KGBV Karra and Kalamati, respectively.
Many of the girls at both the centres have made this campaign meaningful by passing the medical and engineering exams. All these girls were provided with coaching under the 'Sampoorna Shiksha Kavach' campaign run at Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya at Karra by Khunti District Administration.

JEE vs NEET: What students need to know before choosing
For students finishing Class 10 or entering senior secondary school, one of the biggest career decisions often arrives before the Class 12 board exams are even on the radar. Should you prepare for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) or the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET)? Engineering or medicine? In 2025, this question remains as relevant as ever. Both national-level entrance exams are considered among the most competitive in India, and each opens the door to highly respected career tracks. But the choice between the two is not merely about exam difficulty or college reputation. It involves understanding long-term career fit, academic interests, and day-to-day work realities. Here's a comparative view to help students and families make informed decisions. Understanding JEE and NEET: Scope and structure JEE is the national-level entrance test for admission into undergraduate engineering programs like Bachelor of Technology (BTech) or Bachelor of Engineering (BE). It is conducted in two phases: JEE Main and JEE Advanced. Qualifying in JEE Advanced is required for admission into the Indian Institutes of Technology, while JEE Main is accepted by the National Institutes of Technology, Indian Institutes of Information Technology, and many private colleges. NEET is the common entrance test for undergraduate medical programs such as Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS), Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS), Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc), and Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS). NEET scores are mandatory for government and private medical colleges across the country. Subjects and syllabus JEE Main and Advanced: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics NEET: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology While both exams require strong conceptual understanding in science, the focus differs. NEET requires detailed memorisation and application in Biology, whereas JEE places greater emphasis on mathematical reasoning and abstract problem-solving. Students must assess their comfort with numerical versus theoretical learning early on. A student who enjoys logic puzzles and calculations may gravitate more toward JEE, while someone with an affinity for biology and life sciences may find NEET a better fit. Exam pattern and difficulty level JEE Main includes 90 questions across three subjects, with a mix of single and multiple-choice formats. Whereas, NEET has 200 questions (180 to be answered), mostly multiple choice, with more weight on memory-based understanding. In terms of difficulty, JEE Advanced is widely regarded as the more conceptually challenging exam, especially because of its mathematical rigor and the unpredictability of its paper structure. However, NEET is considered tougher in terms of competition due to the high number of applicants fighting for a relatively smaller number of government MBBS seats. In 2025, over 22 lakh candidates appeared for NEET Undergraduate, while JEE Main saw over 11 lakh candidates. The selection ratio, especially for MBBS seats in government colleges, remains significantly lower than engineering admissions. Course duration and career commitment An engineering degree through JEE usually spans four years, after which students can enter the workforce or pursue a master's degree, such as Master of Technology or Master of Business Administration. A medical career, on the other hand, requires a longer academic and training pathway. MBBS takes 5.5 years including the mandatory internship, followed by postgraduate specialisation, which is increasingly becoming essential for career progression. Students must consider their willingness to commit to prolonged academic timelines. Medicine demands long-term dedication, often extending into a decade of study and residency. Engineering offers more flexibility and a quicker path to employment. Lifestyle and work realities Choosing between JEE and NEET also means choosing between two different professional lives. Engineers work across sectors — from software and infrastructure to robotics and energy. Work environments vary between desk jobs, labs, and field roles, often with project-based timelines. Meanwhile, doctors work in clinical settings, hospitals, and public health systems. The profession demands irregular hours, high emotional resilience, and a lifelong engagement with human well-being. It is important that students visualise the day-to-day of both careers, not just the academic entry points. Which one should you choose? There is no definitive answer, and there should not be one. The right path is the one that aligns with your academic strengths (numerical versus theoretical), and your interest areas (technology versus life sciences). Whether it is JEE or NEET, success in either is not only about securing a seat but understanding what the seat leads to. Students and parents must invest time in career exploration, shadowing professionals, and honest self-assessment before committing to an exam path. In an era where education is becoming more modular and careers are evolving faster than syllabi, the smartest decision is one that considers both aptitude and aspiration.
