Corporate Investments Key for India to be World Class in Education: RISE Academy


Kota, Rajasthan, India, Saturday, May 28, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- India's premier Kota-based IIT-JEE exam training institute - RISE Academy feels that now is the time when the corporate sector should come forward and play a major role in nation building through investments in world class faculty as well as students.

"The time is ripe now for corporates to dig into their deep pockets and invest in the education sector. We have all the ingredients to become the top centre in the world in education with best faculty and students. We must not lose on this opportunity," say ex-IITians and now RISE Academy promoters- Bharat Kumar Matoria, Shiv Pratap Raghuvanshi, and Chaandeep K Singhal.

"We are doing our bit by training students to achieve their dreams to get into the premier institutes of the country. But we feel that more investment in the sector could help add more world class features to give an edge to the Indian students. And corporates are in a very good position to do that,' they say in unison.

"We are also funding the training of 20 students every year who have limited financial means in our academy. Everything from the lodging, boarding to food & up-keep is being funded by the academy. Similarly we believe that means should never come in the way of shaping good talent. And there is certainly a lot of room for corporates to pitch in."

The comments from these academicians and entrepreneurs come in the backdrop of the on-going debate that India has world class students but a lot perhaps remains desired in terms of world class faculty.

The RISE team has had tremendous success over the years in terms of results in the IIT-JEE and has produced unmatched results over the years inclusive of considerable number of students in the All India Top-10 in IIT-JEE.

Rise Academy has produced 8 rankers in top 50 All India Ranks (AIR) of IIT-JEE 2011 and 12 ranks in top 100 (AIR). In fact this year's 2nd topper all over India in IIT-JEE Shubham Mehta has been tutored by these three professors. Another student of these teachers - Nishit Lahoti bagged 5th spot in All India Ranking.

In December 2010, Bharat Kumar Matoria (BKM), Shiv Pratap Raghuvanshi (SPR) and Chaandeep K Singhal (CDS) started their own institute RISE Academy to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. The key faculty members from Rise Academy are alumni of prestigious institutes like IIT Kharagpur, IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IT BHU and MNIT Jaipur. The team has a combined experience of training and mentoring IIT aspirants of more than 55 years which comprises faculty from BE, B.Tech, M.Tech and M.Sc backgrounds.
