The Haryana government has launched a scheme, Super 100, to provide free coaching to meritorious students of state-run schools for JEE and NEET exams, an official spokesperson said.

The students will have to sit for an entrance test to be selected for coaching under Super 100.
A total of 225 students will be selected after the test, which is scheduled for the second week of June, she said.
The Haryana government has allocated an initial budget of Rs one crore for the scheme, the spokesperson added.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed with a private social organisation for the coaching, she said.
