PRE EXAM COACHING FOR SC/ST/OBC/Minority  STUDENTS (Rs. 50.00 lakhs for 11th Five Year Plan and Rs. 2.00 lakhs  for Annual Plan 2009-10 (Modified ):-: 
 
             Under the ongoing centrally sponsored scheme, the 100% financial assistance for in-house  pre-exam coaching for engineering, medical and civil services is provided. In-house  coaching has not been agreed upon by the Planning Department, instead suggested to outsource.   The   Working Group  constituted for preparing 11th Five Year Plan  also recommended that pre-exam coaching for engineering, medical and civil services may be provided to the students belonging to SC/ST/OBC/Minorities by sponsoring the students to the institutions   of both public and private which have achieved distinction during the preceding three years, in   terms of success rate of candidates coached by  them.

            As per recommendations of the Working Group the plan scheme “ pre-exam coaching for ST students”  has been proposed to be extended to SC/OBC and minority students w.e.f. 11th Five Year Plan  under State Plan.  Pre-examination coaching at PECC, Karol Bagh for Group ‘B’ Courses will continue under the centrally sponsored scheme.

 Objective:    

Present age is the age of competition and only the fittest can survive.  With the spread of education amongst the younger generation of SCs/STs/OBCs/Minorities there is stiff competition amongst the candidates of these communities themselves.
           
It has been observed that students for the rich families of SC/ST/OBC/Min. communities tend to secure most of the jobs as they have better schooling and training/coaching for the competitive examinations whereas the students from the poor families rarely get selected because during school/college education their standard of education remain low due to poverty and there after due to non-affordability of proper coaching facilities.

            To provide pre-exam coaching to the students of these communities a scheme “Pre Exam coaching for SC/ST” was launched under Annual Plan 1996-97. Under the scheme, pre-exam coaching for engineering and medical courses was given to the SC/ST communities.  Subsequently, the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment , Govt. of India also  launched in 2001, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme “Coaching and Allied Assistance for weaker sections including SCs/OBCs/Min.” for providing coaching for engineering, medical & IAS etc. In the Centrally Sponsored Scheme, it has been suggested that students may be got coached from institutions of repute both public and private which are running coaching courses and have achieved distinctions during the preceding three years, in terms of success rate of candidates coached by them.

Subsequently, the scope of the State Plan scheme was widened by including coaching for All India Services Examinations &  Other Services also.
