New Delhi: Apparently inspired by Bihar’s Anand Kumar-led Super 30, the Rajasthan government may soon have its own Super-30 project. The difference would be tutoring of aspirants for competitive exams. While Anand Kumar’s Super-30 prepares students for IIT-JEE/Engineering exams, Rajasthan’s maiden project aims to prepare students for Civil Services examinations, however this will be limited to those with ST certificates.

Rajasthan government will provide free coaching to civil services aspirants belonging to various tribes and Sahariya community through reputed institutions, a minister said on Friday.

Arjun Bamania, Minister of State for Tribal and Regional Development said the project will be started pursuant to the budget announcement to provide free coaching to students preparing for competitive examinations conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) and Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC).

Under the maiden project, 30 Civil Services aspirants including 20 men & 10 women will be selected and given online coaching to prepare for Civil Service exam, the minister said in a statement.

Prestigious institutions of Rajasthan will impart coaching to these aspirants.

The Minister said, for anyone to avail the scheme, the candidate must have passed graduation examination with minimum 60% marks. Along with that, it is necessary to have the requisite ST certificate and on-line coaching facility with them.

The minister expressed hope that the move will not only improve the educational, economic and social status of the aspirants, but also help them play their role in the development process of the country.
