Career Point in Dantewada, Chhattisgarh
Career Point, founded in 1993 in Kota, Rajasthan, has grown into a respected national educational services company offering programs from early schooling through university-level coaching. Alongside its test-prep offerings for JEE, NEET, Olympiad, and NTSE, the organization extends its reach through residential schools, world schools, universities, skill development courses, and e‑learning platforms.
In Dantewada, Career Point plays a vital role through a government-backed initiative aimed at empowering tribal youth from Maoist-affected areas. Under the “Choo Lo Aasman” (Reach for the Sky) project, the institute provides fully subsidized coaching and structured academic support directly in Dantewada. These classes target students from government schools and focus on high-stakes examinations like JEE and NEET. Remarkably, dozens of tribal students from the region have qualified for premier institutions, with more than 20 qualifying for JEE Advanced and over 30 clearing NEET—all thanks to Career Point's local tuition programs.
Career Point faculty and staff live in the region to provide consistent mentoring and conduct mock tests, doubt-clearing sessions, and conceptual learning—all facilitated at district-level centers. The approach emphasizes conceptual clarity, sustained academic discipline, and practice-based progression, combined with daily assessments and personal mentorship. Despite the challenging environment, the initiative reflects a successful hybrid model—melding the rigor of Kota-style coaching with socially inclusive access in remote tribal areas.
The broader Career Point ecosystem—including its schools, coaching centers, and universities—ensures a continuum in student support spanning KG to PhD pathways. Its Dantewada work aligns with its mission of bringing quality education to underserved communities, pairing local ground-level operations with the academic methodologies for which Kota-based institutes are known.
In summary, Career Point’s Dantewada initiative stands out as a socially significant extension of its educational model. It demonstrates how high-quality, exam-oriented coaching can be adapted to serve remote and underserved populations, maintaining academic rigour and accessibility. The program continues to expand through strategic state partnerships, driving measurable results and advancing educational equity for tribal students in the region.
