AP: Over 1 lakh students to get free JEE/NEET coaching

Vijayawada, June 15 (UNI) In a historic move, the government of Andhra Pradesh, under the leadership of Education Minister Nara Lokesh, has launched a path-breaking initiative to provide
free, high-quality preparation material and coaching to MPC and BiPC students studying in 1355 junior colleges under government sector across the state to prepare for national competitive
exams like JEE and NEET.

This is the first time ever that such a large-scale effort has been made in the state’s education
system to help students from economically weaker backgrounds compete at the national level.
The study material being given to students for free for Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and
Mathematics has been specially prepared by a team of top subject experts from both
government and private colleges over a period of six months.

To make sure students benefit fully from this support, the government has also extended college timings from 9:30 AM–4:00 PM to 9:00 AM–5:00 PM. Every day, students have now started
receiving at least two dedicated hours of coaching based on this new material. Junior Lecturers
have been trained to teach the content effectively.

Along with free coaching material, the government has also introduced weekly tests, performance reviews, and regular progress tracking—best practices typically found in top private institutions—
now being implemented in government colleges.


“This initiative is about giving every student, no matter where they come from, a fair chance to succeed,” said Minister Nara Lokesh.
“We are creating an environment where every child in Andhra Pradesh can dream big and prepare confidently for JEE, NEET, and other national-level exams,” he asserted.

The Minister highlighted that this bold step would benefit over 1 lakh students in 1,355 Government Junior Colleges in the government sector and is aimed at bridging the gap between private and government education.
"Our government firmly believes that quality education must be a right, not a privilege. Our mission is simple: to give every student the confidence, tools, and platform to dream big and achieve bigger,” Minister Nara Lokesh revealed.

The Andhra Pradesh government’s vision is clear—education should be a right, not a privilege and that's what lays the foundation of Andhra Pradesh Model of Education, he added.
