Inaugurating the KSCSA’s eighth centre at Kallyassery here on Saturday, the Minister said the centres would offer coaching facilities for students to prepare for competitive examinations and higher education courses in addition to offering civil service examination coaching courses for aspirants.
He said that though premier institutions such as the Defence Academy, Indian Institute of Technology, and Baba Atomic Research Centre have job and research opportunities, the number of Keralites applying for them is declining. The existing situation in which Keralites could not pass the eligibility examinations for selection in such institutions has to be reversed, the Minister said.
Mr. Raveendranath said that special coaching programmes to equip students to pass specialised eligibility examinations have to be conducted.
Training programmes
The KSCSA is offering such training programmes, he said exuding the hope that the number of Keralites getting selection in prestigious sectors, including the civil service, will be increased once the KSCSA centres are established in all districts.
