Jaipur,Nov.03,2025:Free Coaching for NEET-JEE has arrived in Rajasthan with a bold and timely initiative by the state’s Education Department. The move opens up a new gateway for students in government schools—especially those in rural areas—to access top-tier coaching for the competitive entrance exams NEET and JEE, at zero cost. This is not merely a package of classes, but a comprehensive effort to balance the educational playing field-
According to media sources, the Rajasthan government has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the ed-tech platform Physics Wallah (PW) to deliver this service to government school students. The partnership aims to bring digital, bilingual (Hindi & English) coaching directly into homes.
What the initiative covers
Digital Coaching & App Access
Under the scheme, every eligible student of selected government schools will receive free access to the Physics Wallah app, through which they can attend online classes, watch recorded lectures, take practice tests, and track their progress from home — via smartphone, tablet or laptop.
Language & Grade Coverage
Classes will be delivered in Hinglish (Hindi and English mix), catering to comfort and comprehension of rural learners. The scheme covers students from Class 8 up to Class 12 in government schools including Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (for girls) and model government schools.
Support & Logistics
Beyond just app-access, the initiative reportedly also includes mentors, regular live sessions, and new study-material allocation. For example, arrangements will be made in coordination with district education officers to ensure technical and academic support is available.
Strategic Investment
Reports say that under this MoU the PW infrastructure will deliver educational resources worth roughly ₹300 crore (or more) over the next two years for Rajasthan students — covering app content, tests, mock exams and support systems.
Why Free Coaching for NEET-JEE matters in Rajasthan
Bridging Rural–Urban Divide
Rajasthan has a significant number of students aspiring for NEET and JEE, yet many in rural or economically weaker segments are unable to afford premium coaching in hubs like Kota or Jaipur. The Free Coaching for NEET-JEE initiative is aimed at providing these students the same opportunities.
Aligning with National Trends
Similar state-level efforts are emerging nationwide. For example, in Maharashtra the tribal development department has launched free NEET/JEE coaching for ashram-school students in partnership with Physics Wallah. Rajasthan’s move is thus part of a broader shift.
Enhancing Social Equity
By making high-quality coaching free and digitally accessible, the Free Coaching for NEET-JEE scheme targets the equity gap. Students who might have been excluded due to cost, location or language now gain a chance at level-playing access.
digital access, app, language and logistics
App & Online Platform
Eligible students will be provided login credentials to the Physics Wallah app. Through the app they can-
- Attend live classes and watch recordings.
- Attempt online practice tests and quizzes.
- Access downloadable study-material for revision.
- Use the platform in both Hindi and English to ensure comprehension.
This model ensures that learning is not restricted to the classroom but moves into the home environment.
Home-based & Flexible Learning
Because the students can log in from home using mobile or tablet, it allows those in remote villages to participate without relocating. The Free Coaching for NEET-JEE initiative thus removes the travel and lodging costs that often bar rural aspirants.
Supporting Infrastructure & District-level Monitoring
District Education Officers will coordinate the initiative, ensuring students face no technological or academic hurdles. The department will monitor attendance, progress, and usage of the app. This monitoring ensures the scheme doesn’t remain theoretical but becomes functional.
Language & Pedagogy Tailored for All
By offering bilingual teaching (Hindi/English), the Free Coaching for NEET-JEE scheme ensures students who are more comfortable in Hindi are not left behind. Lessons are designed to simplify complex science and mathematics concepts for a broader audience.
Target beneficiaries and reach
Who will benefit
- Students of government-run schools from Class 8 to Class 12.
- Students of Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas, Model Government Schools and other state schools.
- Particularly those from rural or economically weaker backgrounds who may lack access to paid coaching.
Scale & Investment
An MoU reportedly sets up an investment of nearly ₹300 crore worth of resources for the next two years under the Free Coaching for NEET-JEE scheme. The idea is to reach a wide student-base and establish sustainable infrastructure.
Selection & Access
While detailed selection criteria are still being clarified, the scheme emphasises inclusivity: Many who may not have had previous access to high-end coaching will now be included.
Challenges & how they’re being addressed
Digital Divide & Connectivity
Rural areas may face connectivity problems, device shortage or power issues. The Free Coaching for NEET-JEE scheme addresses this by enabling access from home and coordinating via district education officers to troubleshoot tech issues.
Engagement & Motivation
Online coaching demands self-discipline. To keep students engaged, live classes, scheduled audits, and practice tests will be used. Monitoring mechanisms aim to ensure students attend and benefit.
Quality & Adaptation
Ensuring that the free digital content matches the quality of paid coaching is critical. The partnership with Physics Wallah leverages an established platform with proven JEE/NEET coaching pedigree.
Sustainability
The Free Coaching for NEET-JEE scheme’s success will hinge on continued funding, technical updates, teacher support and student uptake. The two-year resource commitment shows the initial depth, but longer-term plans will need to follow.
broader impact on equity and rural students
Level-playing for Aspirants
By removing cost barriers, the Free Coaching for NEET-JEE initiative gives students from non-metro and rural backgrounds a real chance at national-level competitive exams. This can reshape the socio-economic profile of engineering and medical entrants from Rajasthan.
Empowering Girls & Under-represented Students
Because girls’ schools (like Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas) are included, the scheme promotes gender parity in competitive exam preparation. More girls from remote parts may now aspire to professions previously out of reach.
Local Talent Retention
With high-quality coaching arriving at home, students might no longer need to relocate to expensive coaching hubs (like Kota). This helps keep talent within local communities and reduces the burden on families.
Setting a Precedent
If successful, the Free Coaching for NEET-JEE model can be replicated across states or expanded to include other examinations (CLAT, CUCET, etc). The current national trend (e.g., Maharashtra’s tribal initiative) suggests this is a scalable model.
a transformational step
Free Coaching for NEET-JEE marks a landmark shift in how competitive-exam coaching is democratized in India. For students in Rajasthan’s government schools it promises not just access, but dignity, opportunity and hope. When a student in a remote village can log into the same app as one in a big city, the odds begin to tilt toward fairness.
If implemented robustly, this initiative could become a blueprint for public-private blends in education. For now, Rajasthan is seizing a moment—where ambition, technology and policy converge—to lift a generation toward their dreams of medicine, engineering and beyond.
