These students are among approximately 300 elite students who have cleared the respective Olympiads in each subject at the national level. SMART has only one centre at Chennai and only one batch is handled. Other institutes or classes have multiple centres at Chennai and run multiple batches. Hence, number of students in SMART are relatively, much lesser than that of others. Inspite of this constraint, SMART excels as the Institute from which highest number of students are selected in each of the three Olympiads, as far as Tamil Nadu is concerned. If more number of talented students join SMART, these results can be enhanced even further in the future years.
