PATNA: After Super-30, which coaches meritorious but poor students for cracking IIT-JEE, Bihar has got an educational assistance centre on a similar model, this time for commerce students. A city commerce teacher, BP Roy, has founded CPT-20 to prepare meritorious and financially weak students of Bihar to crack the prestigious chartered accountancy (CA) entry-level examination, Common Proficiency Test (CPT). The first batch of CPT-20 started here on April 13.
"The objective behind starting this centre is to guide 20 students of commerce after completing their schooling. Normally, a large number of such students go to other parts of the country for coaching," said Roy, who is the winner of the prestigious CBSE award for excellence in teaching. He emphasized, "We aim to establish commerce as a viable alternative subject and help students explore career options in it."
"This is purely a non-profit programme. The selected students are not required to pay any fee and we even provide them books. None of the teachers involved in this venture get any salary," said Roy, who funds the institute on his own.
"We admit meritorious students who can't afford private coaching for this purpose. The admission drive was launched six months back, covering all the schools of Patna," said Roy, who leads a panel of seven teachers, including Mathew Lukose, Maharana, NK Sinha, Raj Kumar Jha, LM Das and RK Poddar.
The first batch, having an equal number of girls and boys, is ready to leave no stone unturned to qualify the examination with flying colours. "Our teachers are working very hard with us. We will give our best to perform as per their expectations," said one of the students, Priyanka Goyal. "The general perception is that good students don't opt for commerce. I hope to break that notion with the encouragement given by these teachers. I am confident that I shall do well under their astute guidance," said another student, Apoorva, who is a topper of his school.
Roy, who has a teaching experience of 19 years, plans to open more centres on a similar model for commerce students, "We plan to begin CS-20 next year to give coaching to students for entry-level examination of company secretary. We will also begin a batch of CLAT-20 this July and admit students who are interested in law," said Roy, adding "If we get good response for these courses, we will launch IPCC-20 for students pursing CA."
