Kanpur, 2 May 2026: SATHEE, a free national learning and assessment platform, has shown a strong impact in JEE Main 2026, with 677 students associated with SATHEE qualifying for JEE Advanced, as per data voluntarily shared by students. Of these, 489 students scored in the 90th percentile and above, reflecting the growing reach and effectiveness of structured, free competitive exam preparation.

A major highlight of this year’s outcome is the performance of Punjab Government Non-SoE schools, where SATHEE has been implemented through 2-hour live classes during school hours, along with access to live and recorded lectures, motivational sessions by IIT students, lectures by IIT alumni and professors, doubt-clearing support, daily practice problems, test series, crash courses, and intensive winter and summer camps of up to 8 hours per day. SATHEE also provides AI-enabled features through its app, helping students prepare independently, identify weak areas, practice regularly, and improve performance — all free of cost.

In 2024, before the SATHEE intervention, 49 students from Punjab Government Non-SoE schools qualified in JEE Main. After SATHEE was introduced, this number increased to 84 students in 2025 and has further risen to 134 students in 2026. This marks a growth of nearly 174% over two years, clearly demonstrating the positive impact of SATHEE’s structured academic support in government schools.

The 2026 results also show strong participation from PM SHRI schools. In Punjab, 749 PM SHRI students appeared for JEE Main, out of which 52 PM SHRI students qualified, while 49 students from Punjab Government schools scored in the 90th percentile and above.

Beyond Punjab, SATHEE recorded strong outcomes across other schools as well, with 543 students qualifying, including 65 PM SHRI students, and 440 students scoring in the 90th percentile and above.

Overall, 677 students qualified, including 117 PM SHRI students, while 489 students scored 90 percentile and above.

SATHEE continues to work towards its larger mission of providing equal access to quality learning resources for students across India. The platform offers free video lectures, live crash courses, mock tests, practice questions, AI-based doubt resolution, performance analytics, multilingual content, and regular mentoring support for aspirants preparing for JEE, NEET, CUET, CLAT, SSC, RRB, IBPS, and other competitive examinations.

The strong results in Punjab show that with the right academic support, government school students can achieve excellent outcomes in national-level competitive examinations.
