provide free coaching to students belonging to Other

implementation and monitoring and to assist the students in a better manner, the
separate coaching schemes for SCs, OBCs and minorities were amalgamated and a
combined Scheme, namely, 'Coaching and AlliedAssistance for Weaker Sections'

handle matters relating to the Minorities viz.the Ministry of Minority Affairs,
the Scheme underwent further revision in April 2007for removing the minority
component from the ambit of the scheme and to accommodate other changes deemed
necessary at that point of time. The last revision of the Scheme came into
effect from 01.04.2016.
