Imamia Super 72

The Challenge

Northern India has a significant Shia population, yet only a small fraction of Shia students pursue professional courses. At institutions like Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) and Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI), just 2–3% of enrolled students are from the Shia community. Recognizing this disparity, Imamia Medics International (IMI) took decisive steps to bridge the gap and uplift Shia youth through access to quality education.
In 2019, IMI launched the Imamia Super 14, a flagship coaching and guidance program aimed at supporting bright Shia students from underprivileged backgrounds who aspire to study at prestigious institutions like AMU and JMI. Each year, a talent search is conducted across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Kashmir to select 14 deserving students. These students receive intensive coaching to prepare for entrance exams for 11th grade admission—the key entry point to AMU and JMI. Once admitted, students who complete their 11th and 12th grades become ‘internal candidates,’ gaining significant advantage in securing professional degrees, as 50% of seats are reserved for internal students.

Key Objectives of Imamia Super 72:

• Increase enrollment of Shia students in professional courses at AMU, JMI, and beyond.
• Provide entrance exam coaching for 11th grade admissions.
• Offer specialized coaching for Medical, Engineering, and Law entrance exams.
• Support students with temporary accommodation during coaching, preparation, and examination periods.
• Raise awareness within the community about professional education pathways.
• Establish a fully equipped studio with IT infrastructure to enable online coaching across remote areas.
• Collaborate with community organizations to offer courses in entrepreneurship and skill development.
