CM s Lairik Heiminnashi Programme (CMLH): Pre-Matric Remedial Coaching - Introduction
CM s Lairik Heiminnashi Programme (CMLH): Pre-Matric Remedial Coaching is a dedicated scheme of the Manipur government that offers academic handholding to students. It targets pupils from minority, OBC, or SC backgrounds who are currently enrolled in government-run schools or institutions receiving official grant-in-aid support.
Through this programme, students can access free remedial coaching in English, Mathematics, and Science. The scheme supports students from classes 8 to 10 under the Board of Secondary Education, Manipur (BOSEM). To keep up the quality, the government empanels schools or registered private coaching centres as official coaching centres based on their available logistics and staff capacity.
Selection of Students
The selection process works on a merit-based ranking system to keep things fair:
- Economic Ranking: Students are first ranked based on their family income, where lower income leads to a higher priority. If incomes are equal, the student from a larger family is ranked higher. If sizes are equal, the older student receives preference.
- Academic Ranking: A separate list is prepared based on the marks obtained in the final assessment of the previous class. If marks match, the older student is ranked higher.
- Final Ranking: A combined rank is generated by adding the economic and academic scores. If the final rank is equal, the student with the better academic rank gets preference. This final rank decides your selection for the coaching support.
The nodal department or the relevant directorate handles the final beneficiary selection. At least 30% of seats are reserved for girls. If a girl student does not secure a seat through the reserved quota, she is still considered for the remaining 70% of open seats using the same ranking logic.
