Twenty students of the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) here have been selected for lecturer posts in different government colleges after clearing Staff Selection Board (SSB) examination. They had completed post-graduation in various subjects in the 2014-15 academic year.
Further, 43 KISS students are pursuing PhD in various subjects under the Rajiv Gandhi National Fellowship. They are getting a scholarship of Rs 28,000 for four years. The KISS has created history as in no other educational institution in Odisha so many tribal students have cleared examination for lectureship or bagged the Rajiv Gandhi National Fellowship.
KISS students have been excelling in 10th and 12th Board Examinations by posting cent per cent results since last 10 years. Besides, they have been excelling in national and international-level sports. Earlier this year, KISS students had also cleared prestigious national-level entrance examinations and got admission in premier institutions like IIT, IIM and NIT.
Many KISS students are successful in getting jobs in Central Government and banks and other corporate houses. Expressing happiness over the achievements of KISSians, KISS founder Dr Achyuta Samanta said KISS students have always been doing well in every sphere, but this year their achievements have scaled new heights.
It is duty of a real man to find out these talents and Dr Samant proved it, said tribal leaders.
