Coaching centres cash in on teachers recruitment board exam
Coimbatore: With the Tamil Nadu Teachers Recruitment Board inviting applications for more than 2,200 vacant posts of postgraduate assistants, physical education directors and computer instructors in the higher secondary educational service, the job aspirants are making a beeline for the coaching centres to crack the examination, which is less than two months away.
The coaching centres are, in turn, charging anywhere between Rs 20,000 and Rs 30,000 for the two-month crash course, including study materials.
“Usually, exams are conducted three to four months from the date of issuing the notification. But this time, we have just two months to prepare for the exam, which is scheduled for November. While the questions will be from the curriculum that we teach daily, we need dedicated training to attempt difficult and tricky questions,” said K Vanaja, one of the job aspirants. She is a commerce teacher with a private school in the district.
Aranga Gopal, director, Shibi IAS Academy, said they had started receiving enquiries well ahead of the notification. “Candidates are ready to join us and we may start the coaching classes in a few days. It will be a challenging task for both the candidates and coaching centres. If the exam was scheduled during the summer, as it mostly happens, candidates could have got time to prepare well. As a coaching centre, we bring experienced teachers from colleges and schools who are now busy with classes.”
Manager of another coaching centre at Gandhipuram said they were planning to start early morning and evening classes for the candidates. “Fortunately, the lockdown norms are relaxed and candidates can come for physical classes before and after the school hours.”
Some of the experienced government school and college teachers have also started taking evening classes at their houses for the job aspirants.
