ENCOURAGED by the success of a tribal girl from a government school securing admission to IIT-Madras for the first time, the tribal welfare directorate is set to rope in a private firm to coach more students for India's premier institutions.

- SUBASHINI VIJAYAKUMAR @ Chennai

The firm will train Class 10, 11 and 12 students in Government Tribal Residential (GTR) schools and Ekalavya Model Residential (EMR) schools for competitive exams such as JEE, NEET, CUET and CLAT. Teachers will also be trained in effective coaching methods.

The target: at least 10 students qualifying for the top 200 NIRF-ranked colleges through JEE, along with fixed qualifying percentages for NEET, CUET and CLAT. Payment to the firm will be performance-based, linked to these results. The three-year project will cost around ₹2.5 crore, officials said.
