Significantly, the successful students from the known academy of mathematician Anand Kumar are wards of marginal farmer, daily wager and small time teachers.
Run at the residence of Anand Kumar in Patna the students from underprivileged sections are provided free coaching along with food and lodging.
An elated Anand Kumar said that the results were attributed to students' hard work and sincereity.
"I would have been happier had all the 30 students made it. But it cannot be always like that. I wish all the success to those who have not been able to make it. They will certainly excel in their chosen fields," he added, thanking the entire Super 30 team, his family members and the students for the success.
While Bipin Kumar's mother Kumari Chanchala is a teacher in a small private school far away in Palamu (Daltonganj), his father Vijay Kumar Gupta is unemployed and the family is barely able to make both ends meet.
"After class 10, I felt like discontinuing my studies, as my family just could not afford further education. Thinking of IIT was just out of question," the boy recalled, after telling his parents about his success.
But he is not alone. There are many others like him from an indifferent background. If one is the son of a daily wage labourer, another is the son of a private security guard or a jobless person.
