Coaching Centres

The demand is higher than supply and in such a scenario coaching centres fulfill a great need.Naming the coaching centres is not an easy task.Suffice it to tell that most (around 75%) deal with science subjects.English and Spoken English comes in the second.The biggest names are related to competitive exams like IAS,BPSC,PO,SSC,MBA,Engineering and Medical Exams.There is also a haphahazardness relating to coaching industry. Govt. is soon going to bring a legislation for better regulation of these institutes.There are philanthropic educational efforts also.Scientia Oeikos, Rahbar and many others try to help poor students. Depth Academy(For IAS,BPSC,MBA,PO,SSC etc.) needs special mention which gives free education to the disadvantaged like Dalits,Dalit Muslims, Dalit Christians and financially challenged students from other communities.The govt. also runs coaching centres for the disadvantaged.
