Free Coaching institution For IAS And Civil Services aspirants in Tiruchi
The Tiruchi Academy for Competitive Examinations (TRACE), a
free coaching institution to train Civil Services aspirants set up by the
District Welfare Committee, will become functional from this month end.
The academy has decided to select trainees for the first batch through an
entrance examination on June 20. To start with, a compact batch of about 20 to
25 candidates who plan to take up the Civil Services (preliminary) examination
next year would be selected based on the examination and subsequent personal
interviews, Collector T.Soundiah, who is also the committee chairman, told The
Hindu here on Friday.
Free coaching would be offered for the IAS main examination for candidates who
have already cleared the preliminary examination. The academy aims to provide
comprehensive coaching to the candidates, right up to the personal interviews,
for the Civil Services examsinations. Even the travel expenditure of the poor
candidates for appearing in the personal interviews in New Delhi would be borne
by the academy.
The academy is being set up at Kalaiarangam (Thyagaraja Bhagavathar Mandram)
campus, close to the Central Bus Stand in the city. It would cater to aspiring
youths from the entire delta region. Apart from a library, it will have about 20
computers with Internet connection. A language laboratory is also planned to
improve the soft skills of the candidates. A committee, comprising eminent
academicians, will guide the academy’s functions and the programmes would be run
with the help of guest faculty.
The academy has been registered as a separate trust so that donations could be
raised to supplement the contributions of the Welfare Committee, which maintains
a separate district welfare fund offering financial support for various needy
persons. Donations to the trust would be exempt under Sec.80 G of the Income Tax
Act. Application forms for the entrance examinations can be had from the TRACE
Office, District Welfare Committee campus, Kalaiarangam, 1 Mc Donalds Road,
Tiruchi-1, or the Offices of the Deputy Director/Assistant Director of
Employment, Tiruchi-1. Filled-in applications should be submitted on or before
June 15. According to the tentative schedule, the academy’s coaching programme
will begin on June 28.
