However, in 2010, Abhyanand and Anand Kumar broke apart by starting their own Super 30. Kumar's Super 30 has a stunning success rate and average 27 to 28 of 30 students take the exam each year.

In 2008, for the first time, the 30 students enrolled in the Super 30 batch IIT JEE were qualified. The same thing was done in 2009, 2010 and 2017.

A typical example is that of Anup Kumar, originally from Rafiganj to Gaya. Anup said that Kumar's help and advice made all the difference. "Anand Sir funded our stay, food, and education for eight months," Indian Express Anup, whose father had disappeared four years earlier, told IRIN.

However, Anand Kumar has been the victim of allegations of fraud and prosecution in recent years years. In 2018, four IIT-Guwahati students filed a lawsuit against Kumar in front of Gauhati High Court, alleging that the teacher's statement that 26 of his 30 students had pbaded the ## 147 ## 39; IIT-JEE entry examination was false. They claimed that only three of them had pbaded the exam.

Students claimed that Kumar had never revealed the names of these students before the IIT exam, so it was impossible to verify that those who had qualified were the same as those who had studied at Super 30.

The Guwahati High Court had sent a notice to Anand inviting him to answer the LIP filed by the students. The mathematician apparently did not respond to the LIP who had asked him to reveal the names of the 26 students admitted to the IIT in 2018.

The applicants had again contacted the High Court this year a few weeks before the release of the film. . They claimed that during the court proceedings, how could anyone release a film that celebrates their life? The HC asked Anand Kumar, through a notice, to respond to the personal information notice.

"I do not take any grants or donations from anyone. Our Prime Minister, companies, business moguls such as Mukesh Ambani and Anand Mahindra have donated, but I have not accepted anything … I just want to do a good job in the field of education, "he said. Kumar told PTI after the outbreak of the controversy. [19659006] In July 2018, an IPL was filed in the Patna High Court seeking an IWC inquiry into the operation of the Kumar group. Manibhushan Pratap Sengar, a High Court lawyer, testified in his LIP that Kumar was his and that he wished to open an investigation into the financial activities of Super 30.

However, despite the controversies, the Super 30 Anand Kumar continues to enjoy commendable success with 18 out of 30 candidates competing for the JEE Advanced this year.
