Underprivileged Students From Free IIT Coaching Classes Crack IIT JEE Exam

In India IIT entrance exam has been considered as the great leveler. Every engineering aspirant tries hard to crack the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) to get admission to the country's prominent institutes such as IITs, NITs, IIITs. Coaching helps students by providing the right direction and study material to achieve their dream of getting admission into top engineering colleges of India through JEE Main and JEE Advanced. But many poor students living in villages don’t get such opportunities due to financial problems and lack of facilities.

Private coaching institutes demand a huge amount of money from students for preparing them for entrance exams like IIT-JEE, NEET, and UGC-NET. But now this problem has been taken care of by various PSU companies through their CSR initiative and launching of free IIT coaching classes for poor students. The initiative was launched in partnership with the Centre for Social Responsibility and Leadership (CSRL), an educational NGO, to give free coaching and free education for IIT jee to young aspirants from the underprivileged section of society to succeed in IIT JEE and other engineering entrance examinations. The sponsoring organization bears the entire cost of one-year intensive coaching, study material, food, and accommodation for the students along with various other things.

The project would significantly help downtrodden students from rural areas. Although, this would unquestionably harm the business of private coaching institutes sprouting across the country. However, the initiative would also interest more students who are thinking to appear for these highly ambitious exams to avail of this free IIT preparation initiative. The plan is to take this initiative beyond just coaching classes and turn them into an abode for poor students. Since students won't have to pay any fees and so will be primarily helpful for talented but poor students from the section of society where hopes are high but private coaching is unlikely due to financial limitations.
