Coaching Help Scheme for JEE-GUJCET-NEET Exams - Introduction
This scheme is made for students of the unreserved category who want to become doctors or engineers. Preparing for exams like JEE, GUJCET and NEET needs good coaching, and coaching fees can be heavy for many families. The state government steps in to cover part of this cost.
Students in Class 11 and Class 12 science stream can apply, provided they scored at least 70% in their Class 10 board exam. The coaching institute where they study must have three years or more of experience. The money is sent directly to the student's bank account, so there is no middleman.
