In post1991 economic reforms in India, Muslims of India have undergone social, educational and political churning. Apart from the government support for uplift of Muslims and planning, Muslim philanthropists also came forward to help the struggling community. Among these good Samaritans, the name of Badruddin Ajmal, madarsa-educated theologian-politician-philanthropist-educationist, stands out. In a limited period of time, he has helped a significant number of Muslim youths from humble background, including those from madarsas, in pursuing prestigious courses like Engineering, MBBS, MBA, and going for higher studies in various streams. Plus, a number of students reared at institutes run by his foundation have been able to crack different competitive examinations like state civil services and UPSC.

The brainchild of the Ajmal family, the AJMAL SUPER 40 concept was mooted in 2016 and the Ajmal Foundation gave concrete shape to the project that intended to establish an institution of excellence in order to prepare students from educationally backward areas and from disadvantaged sections of society to compete with the students from urban and affluent sections to prove their potential merit in the qualifying examinations for medical and engineering studies.
Today, the Ajmal Super 40 has established a name for itself in All India Level competitive examinations as it has been able to give wings to the dreams of these poor but meritorious students. In successive years the Ajmal Super 40 students have dazzled in NEET & JEE examinations and have validated the Ajmal Foundation’s conviction that if proper care, attention and quality teaching is provided to the rural and poor students, their innate talent can flourish and they can show excellent results.
