Five-year IIT orientation module begins from VIIIth standard

VISAKHAPATNAM: The Vikas group of educational institutions is launching a unique five-year IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) orientation module from eighth standard onwards, in Visakhapatnam from this academic year.

Disclosing this to reporters here, the Vikas chairman, Tummala Naga Prasad, said: "Our experience is that most students, who have scored the highest marks in class X and subsequently in the plus-two stage, are not able to achieve ranks in the IIT Joint Entrance Examination and other national and State-level competitive examinations. Failure to make it to IIT-JEE by these students is due to the lack of conceptual teaching and analytical and logical approach towards solving problems right from the early stages of their schooling. Vikas wants to set right this anomalous situation.''

The five-year module -- christened SURE Foundation Programme -- starting from eighth standard would enable the students to develop conceptual understanding and analytical approach that would help them in facing the challenging IIT-JEE, he said.
