(News) Super-25: Free coaching for poor Bihari UPSC candidates

'Super-25' to coach poor UPSC aspirants

Now money will not come in the way of Bihar's meritorious, but poor students to crack country's toughest test, Civil Services examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).

In line with Bihar's famous Super 30 initiative where students are coached free of cost to crack IIT-JEE, a unique 'Super-25' initiative will be launched next month. Under 'Super-25', poor meritorious Bihari UPSC candidates will be given free quality coaching and lodging arrangements to help them crack UPSC.

The decision was taken at a symposium on 'Declining Performance of Bihar in Civil Services' held at A N Sinha Institute of Social Studies (ANSISS) here on Sunday. At the symposium, Bihar HRD minister P K Sahi, Super 30 founder Anand Kumar, DGP Abhyanand, IAS trainer Ashok Kumar Singh, educationist S P Singh, IAS officer Sanjay Kumar Singh and others explored the cause of Bihar's declining performance in the UPSC.

Meridian Courses director Ashok Kumar Singh announced that in association with the Career Launcher's CL Educate Limited he will conduct tests in the fourth week of November to select 25 poor students who will be provided around a year-long free coaching and lodging to help crack civil services.

"During the past few years, Bihar's performance in UPSC examination has dramatically declined. It is in reverse to what was the scene during the 1990s. It is a major cause of concern. Bihar's educationists and government must come forward to check this dangerous trend," Ashok added.
