Free NEET coaching for Class XI and XII students of Corporation schools was inaugurated on Tuesday at the Sidhapudur Corporation Higher Secondary School in Coimbatore city. District Collector Pavankumar G. Giriyappanavar, Coimbatore MP Ganapathi P. Rajkumar, and Corporation Commissioner M. Sivaguru Prabakaran participated in the event and distributed study materials to students. Addressing the students, the District Collector encouraged them to remain dedicated and approach their studies with humility. Stating that no barriers existed for government school students, he urged them to aim to clear the NEET exam in their first attempt. He noted that students from government schools had shown individual interest, and that the higher education enrolment rate had now crossed 96%. Mr. Rajkumar said this was the second consecutive year the NEET coaching was being offered. He added that Tamil Nadu students were performing well in academics and that students belonging to the 7.5% reservation category need not worry about fees, as the government will cover them. Corporation Commissioner said that last year the coaching started only in October, whereas this year it had begun earlier. 'Last year, eight students qualified through the coaching; four of them are likely to get MBBS seats and the others have chances in BDS,' he said. He also thanked the Times NEET Coaching Institute for providing the coaching free of cost. A total of 126 students—25 boys and 101 girls —have been selected for the coaching programme. Transportation and food will be arranged for the students. The coaching sessions will be held twice a week.

Eight Coimbatore corporation school students crack NEET, feted
COIMBATORE: Seven girls and a boy from Coimbatore corporation schools who cracked National Eligibility cum Entrance Test ( ) using the civic body's free coaching were honoured with their parents here on Tuesday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Of the 158 Class XI and XII students who attended coaching at Sidhapudur Corporation Higher Secondary School, 43 appeared for NEET and eight – six in their first attempt and two in the second attempt – cracked it. For the session begun in Oct 2024 with TIMES NEET Coaching Institute, the corporation spent Rs 5,00,000, arranging special buses and snacks. TIMES institute's A Sivakumar said there is a huge difference between NEET syllabus and the academic syllabus. 'If trained from Class XI, more students are likely to crack NEET. Coaching for the fresh batch of Class XI students is to commence in two weeks.' Four of the eight students with scores above 200 have high chances of being placed in medical colleges under the 7.5% quota, Sivakumar said. 'The exam was tough and cutoff marks might be reduced. And this will certainly reflect on the7.5% reservation category in the state. If you get a BDS seat, opt for it because the specialisation of ortho in MDS is in demand with more opportunities.' Collector Pavankumar G Giriyappanavar, commissioner M Sivaguru Prabakaran, mayor R Ranganayaki and MP Ganapathy P Rajkumar honoured Muthurani of Siddhapudur Corporation Higher Secondary School; S Abinandha and Sadhana, of Corporation Higher Secondary School, North Coimbatore; G Vidhyashree, S Adisha and Janani, of Corporation Girls Higher Secondary School, RS Puram West; Nowfiya of Corporation Girls Higher Secondary School on Oppanakkara Street; and Gnaneshwari, of Corporation Girls Higher Secondary School at Ramakrishnapuram.
