Many state governments provide free coaching institutes for entrance exams like JEE Main and NEET. Check the list and admission process here.
Engineering is one of the largest education domains globally. In India alone, more than 20 lakh students take admission in various engineering institutes at UG level courses every year. There are numerous coaching institutes that provide assistance to students in cracking the engineering entrance examinations and taking admission in their preferred institute. Most of these institutes are privately owned and charge a hefty amount, making it unbearable and out of reach from many deserving and economically poor aspirants.
However, many state governments and also some educational trusts/individuals run free coaching institutes to help deserving and needy students. Admission to most of these free JEE Main coaching institutes is based on merit in intermediate marks while some institutes also offer admission through entrance exam.
