With a view to helping Plus One students of Corporation schools to prepare and face National Entrance cum Eligibility Test NEET), 62 students from 12 schools were chosen for free coaching.
As part of this initiative, a mock class was conducted for students and parents at E.V.R. Nagammaiyar Corporation Girls High School here on Monday. Speaking on the occasion, Corporation Commissioner S. Aneesh Sekhar urged parents to ensure that the basic needs of their children were taken care of. If needed, they must be dropped and picked up from school. He released a booklet that listed materials necessary for exam preparation.
N. Suresh Kumar of Suresh’s 360 Degrees Academy, which conducted the mock class, said no student from Corporation schools cleared the requisite cut-off percentage in 2017.
Many parents cleared their doubts about NEET and the syllabus. The coaching classes will be held thrice a week between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m.
