Observations reveal that after completing 10+ or graduation, most students lack adequate information regarding proper coaching facilities available to them. In this process, more often than not, they remain without proper institutional support that may help them prepare for the furtherance of their careers. It is for this purpose that the Centre offers a variety of coaching programmes for entering into services and seeking admission to various professional courses. Some of the remedial and competitive programmes being offered by the Centre include:

• Coaching for Civil Services Examinations (Prelims and Mains), including language skills and personality development programmes.
• Coaching for employment in other public and private sector undertakings
• Coaching for writing UGC/CSIR: NET/JRF for entry into university and research institutions.

(Preliminary-cum-Main) – Coaching Programme

I would like to share some of my knowledge regarding the Entrance exam -

1. Written test would comprise General Studies (objective type) on UPSC model and Essay writing in English/Hindi/Urdu to test candidate’s ability to express themselves in an organised and structured manner. The total duration of examination would be of three hours.
2. There would be negative marking for objective type questions in the test. One third of the marks will be deducted for a wrong answer.
3. The entrance test paper would be divided into two papers – Paper 1 and Paper 2. Paper 1 would consist of objective type questions. There would be 60 questions and the total marks for this section would be 60 (60×1=60).
   Paper 2 would consist of Essay writing for which the total allotted marks would be 60. Candidates would be required to write two essays (30×2=60) choosing one from each section-A & B. The total time allotted for both the Papers would be three hours. However the OMR sheet would be collected after one hour i.e. at 11 a.m. Time allotted for writing the essays will be 02 hours. The students may take the question papers with them.
4. The total marks for Interview/Personality test would be 30.
5. In case of tie, the higher marks in essay and there is a tie again the higher marks in interview would be taken as basis of selection. If there is still a tie the candidate who is younger (age wise) would get the seat.
6. Only those candidates who have already completed their Graduation need to apply.
7. Coaching will include (a) classes on General Studies, CSAT and selected optional papers (b) Test series, answer’s evaluation and Essay writing practice shall form part of the curriculum.
8. The Academy will also conduct Mock Interviews for those who qualify the main examination.

Is Jamia Milia the only university with such an initiative ? What about those who are non residents of Delhi ? Other universities should also start such initiatives.

Residential Coaching Academy of JMI is doing a fantastic job to provide platform for needy ones. Most important point is affordability of living in Delhi and prepare in a competitive environment which is provided by JMI RCA. Abhyuday Yojna of UP Govt is also providing coaching to aspirants who dreams of becoming civil servants. Can you provide some insights about Abhyuday Yojna of UP Govt?
