Private firm to coach ST students in cracking JEE, NEET

CHENNAI: Encouraged by the success of a tribal girl from a government school securing admission to IIT-Madras for the first time, the tribal welfare directorate is set to rope in a private firm to coach more students for getting into India's premier institutions.
The firm will train Class 10, 11 and 12 students in Government Tribal Residential (GTR) schools and Ekalavya Model Residential (EMR) schools for competitive exams such as JEE, NEET, CUET and CLAT. Teachers will also be trained in effective coaching methods.
The target: at least 10 students qualifying for the top 200 NIRF-ranked colleges through JEE, along with fixed qualifying percentages for NEET, CUET and CLAT. Payment to the firm will be performance-based, linked to these results. The three-year project will cost around `2.5 crore, officials said.
Tamil Nadu has 31 government tribal high schools, 28 higher secondary schools and eight EMR higher secondary schools. The initiative will cover 5,500-7,000 students across these institutions. In-person coaching will be provided at 10 hub centres in select schools, with online classes streamed to nearby schools.

Inside Edge Launches in India, Bringing Students Closer to Real-World Mentors

Inside Edge, a new-age peer mentorship platform, has been launched in India to help students make informed academic and career choices. The platform connects learners directly with verified alumni and professionals who have already navigated the paths students aspire to take, from cracking competitive exams like JEE to studying abroad, switching careers, or securing admission to leading colleges. Built on the belief that 'You don't have to figure it all out alone', Inside Edge offers guidance drawn from lived experiences rather than generic advice. The aim is to transform a student's journey from confusion to clarity, and from uncertainty to confidence. 'Inside Edge is more than an education platform. In the age of AI & information overload, It is a movement towards peer-driven, real-world mentoring. We want students to see the road ahead through authentic stories from those who have been there,' said a spokesperson for Inside Edge. India's education landscape is changing at a rapid pace. The rise of online degrees, AI-based courses, short-term certifications, and new-age curriculum options, along with growing opportunities abroad and mid-career switches, has created more choices and more confusion. Many students are left to navigate these decisions without credible support. Inside Edge addresses this gap by offering: • Verified, peer-reviewed mentors with proven expertise. • One-on-one conversations through chat & Calls. • A community where students can get firsthand feedback. The platform plans to expand its mentor network across Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 cities to ensure students from all backgrounds can access credible advice. Collaborations with schools, colleges, and career platforms are also in the pipeline. As India's youth face a fast-changing global and competitive environment, Inside Edge aims to be the trusted ally that helps them make confident, well-informed choices about their future.
