Inspiring! SOE Samana Student Cracks JEE Mains 2025

His success isn’t just a personal victory; it is being hailed as a symbol of Punjab’s ongoing education revolution under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.

Mentorship, Mission & Mann Government's Model

Arshdeep’s journey was mentored closely by Principal Harjot Kaur and her dedicated staff at SOE Samana. Teachers described him as a hardworking student who was deeply inspired after a school-organized educational trip to Sriharikota, India's space launch hub.

This breakthrough reflects the effectiveness of the School of Eminence initiative, which aims to deliver quality, IIT-level coaching and infrastructure to students from economically weaker backgrounds across Punjab.

A Model Worth Emulating?

The Mann government's reforms—rooted in the Delhi Model of Education—have focused on upgrading government schools, hiring capable teachers, and making competitive exam preparation accessible to all. Arshdeep’s success has now become a testament to what government schools can achieve when empowered with the right vision and support.

Social media is buzzing with congratulations, and several AAP leaders have shared Arshdeep’s story with the hashtag #PunjabSikhyaKranti.
