The Ministry of Minority Affairs, Government of India implemented the ‘Free Coaching and Allied’ scheme to provide free coaching to students/candidates belonging to economically weaker sections of minority communities for preparation of entrance examinations of technical/professional courses and competitive examinations.
Depending upon the coaching programme allocated to the PIAs, the duration of the coaching period under the scheme was from 3 months to 2 years.
The New Education Policy 2020, however, does not support coaching programmes.
It will reform the existing system of board and entrance examinations to eliminate the need for coaching classes.
Due to this, the ministry decided to discontinue the scheme starting in the financial year 2022-23.
