New Delhi : Good news for JEE, NEET aspirants as they will get free coaching services for competitive exams. The Narendra Modi government is planning to set up around 3,000 teaching centres across the country. The centers will conduct mock tests and provide free coaching to students for prestigious higher education entrance tests.

The coaching centers will start conducting mock tests from September 8. However, the classes will begin from May, 2019.

"The plan is to take these centres beyond just practice tests and turn them into teaching centres. They will not charge any fees and so will be especially helpful for talented students from sections where aspirations are high but private coaching is impossible due to financial constraints," an HRD official said.

In the meantime, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has started the online registration process for the Test Practice Centres (TPCs) for candidates appearing for JEE (Mains), UGC NET and NEET. 

"In total 2,775 centres -- schools and colleges from across the country -- have shown their interest to be part of the TPCs for practicing the exam," 

For now, registration process for UGC NET and JEE (Mains) will begin from tomorrow, September 1. All the interested, eligible candidates can apply through the prescribed format on the official website of NTA, the link for which is nta.ac.in.
