Does the government provide free coaching for JEE and NEET?
Yes. The central Free Coaching Scheme for SC and OBC students, and state schemes such as Rajasthan's Mukhyamantri Anuprati Coaching Yojana, Haryana's Super-100, Uttar Pradesh's Abhyudaya Yojana and Maharashtra's MahaJyoti, pay for or run free JEE and NEET coaching for eligible students.
Is there free offline NEET coaching by the government?
Yes, in some states. Haryana's Super-100 is residential, Rajasthan's Anuprati pays for coaching at empanelled institutes, and Tamil Nadu runs NEET coaching for government-school students. Uttar Pradesh's Abhyudaya runs both offline and online classes. Seats are limited and most schemes select by marks or a test.
Who is eligible?
It depends on the scheme — usually a family income limit (often up to ₹8 lakh a year), a category (SC, ST, OBC, EWS, minority) or study in a government school, plus state residence for state schemes. Check the current rules on the scheme's portal.
Is government coaching any good?
Quality varies by scheme and centre. Haryana's Super-100, for example, has sent students to IITs, NITs and government medical colleges. Whatever the scheme, your own daily practice decides the result.
