Following a resolution passed by the Chennai Corporation to provide coaching classes for competitive exams in the last council meeting, applications have now been invited from interested candidates. The Corporation, in its budget report, said that the coaching will be provided for Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC), Chartered Accountant (CA), Institue of Cost and Works Accounts (ICWA), Bachelor of Medicine (MBBS) and Bachelor of Engineering (BE)  entrance exams, among others.

“Earlier, it was reported that only candidates who are residing in the Corporation limits are eligible for the coaching. But now, we have decided to provide coaching to candidates from other parts of the State too,” said one of the Corporation officials. He added that the classes will be held during weekends and after school hours at the Corporation schools that have been chosen as coaching centres.

“All the necessary learning materials will be provided for the candidates free of cost. The classes will be handled separately for men and women at different hours,” the official said. Candidates can download the application forms from www.chennaicorporation.gov.in. The applications should be sent on or before September 10 by email or by post to Mayor Office, Rippon Building, Corporation of Chennai, Chennai-3.
