Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday, 1 June 2026, announced that 91 students from the state government's Super-100 programme have cleared IIT-JEE Advanced 2026, calling the result a moment of pride for the state.

Posting on X in Hindi, CM Saini said: 'सरकार द्वारा चलाए जा रहे सुपर-100 कार्यक्रम के 91 नौनिहालों ने IIT-JEE Advanced 2026 में सफलता प्राप्त कर हरियाणा का गौरव बढ़ाया है' — ('91 young children of the Super-100 programme run by the government have brought glory to Haryana by succeeding in IIT-JEE Advanced 2026'). He addressed the announcement to the people of Haryana as his 'family members,' congratulating the talented students who cleared the examination.

Context

The Super-100 programme is a Haryana government initiative that selects meritorious students — primarily from government schools — and provides them intensive residential coaching for the IIT-JEE entrance examination. The scheme is designed to give students from rural areas and economically weaker sections access to the kind of structured preparation that is otherwise concentrated in expensive private coaching institutes.

IIT-JEE Advanced is the national-level entrance examination conducted by the Indian Institutes of Technology for admission to their undergraduate engineering programmes, and is widely regarded as one of the most competitive examinations in the country.

Policy Backdrop

Haryana has been building a framework of targeted educational interventions for over half a decade. Between 2019 and 2023, the previous state government introduced multiple scholarship and residential coaching schemes for JEE aspirants from government schools, laying the groundwork for the current Super-100 model.

The Super-100 initiative is part of a broader national pattern: states including Bihar, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh have each launched Super-30 or Super-100 style residential programmes over the past decade to address structural inequities in access to quality JEE preparation. Haryana's programme reflects this state-level strategy applied to a predominantly rural student population.

Stakeholders and Impact

The 91 successful students from the 2026 Super-100 cohort now stand to secure admission to undergraduate engineering programmes at IITs across India, opening pathways that would otherwise be difficult for students from government-school backgrounds to access. Their success is also a data point for policymakers evaluating the return on state investment in such coaching schemes.

For the broader student community in Haryana, particularly those in rural districts, the result serves as a visible signal that government-backed preparation can be competitive at the national level. Parents, teachers, and school administrators in the state are among the direct stakeholders who stand to benefit from the programme's demonstrated outcomes.

What's Next

Attention will now turn to Haryana's next education budget cycle and whether the state government announces an expansion of the Super-100 cohort size or introduces parallel programmes targeting other national examinations such as NEET. CM Saini's public highlighting of the result suggests the programme will remain a visible plank of the government's education outreach.

If the state scales the programme, it could set a benchmark for other BJP-governed states seeking to demonstrate tangible outcomes in school education policy ahead of future electoral cycles.
