Why RGUKT?
A person born into a low income¸ rural family in India can't really aspire to study at an IIIT or aim to be selected into the IAS. This is true is many cases. The reason for this is because they start with many inherent disadvantages such as:

The educational level of the parents
The quality of teachers and the schools they go to
The ability to pay for coaching classes¸ and
The time on task devoted to study the material
It has been observed that¸ on an average¸ the marks obtained by the students in rural India are about 10-20% lower than the marks of students studying in private schools of urban India. As a result¸ most of the seats for higher education get filled by students from these private schools when the basis of selection is the marks obtained. Even if a rural student is capable¸ the educational system doesn't allow him to go ahead. The goal of RGUKT is to help remedy this unfortunate situation.

At RGUKT¸ a a ?Lowest Best Model? is used to select students from a small community like a Mandal which had a few hundred students graduating each year in comparison to selecting students based on a state wide or nationwide ranking system based on marks or entrance tests. Such a practice overcomes the disparity in the selection process between the urban and rural environments. Therefore¸ the better performance of students in an urban Mandal doesn't have an impact on the selection process of students in a neighboring rural Mandal.
