Private coaching support general stream for SC students in the 11th-12th (Standards) has been started to uplift scheduled castes to encourage them to pursue higher education. This initiative will help students who can’t afford the expenses of higher education and are falling behind in education. The government will provide additional support in the shape of private coaching they need to compete in upcoming exams.
It has been observed that various scheduled caste students are reluctant to continue their higher education after standard 10, due to most competitive studies that require high merit. To compete in this scenario, students of the SC community further require private coaching to cover their study gaps, and that financial impact forces them to leave their studies.
This article provides detailed information on private coaching support to SC students in the 11th -12th grades of the general stream including eligibility criteria, required documentation, application process, and benefits/rewards.
