Prof. Samina Bano (Professor Incharge)

The Centre for Coaching and Career Planning at Jamia Millia Islamia was established in 1985 in pursuance of the Government’s policy of bringing educationally backward minorities on par with the rest of the society and to make them participate fully in the activities of national development.

The Residential Coaching Academy (RCA) was established in 2010 under the aegis of Centre for Coaching and Career Planning, Jamia Millia Islamia, with funding support from the University Grants Commission (UGC) and Ministry of Minority Affairs. The academy serves as a specialised institution dedicated to providing comprehensive coaching and guidance for Civil Services Examinations and other competitive examinations. RCA specifically focuses on empowering students from underrepresented communities, including religious minorities (Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, and Zoroastrian communities), Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Women.

Since its establishment, RCA has consistently delivered exceptional results, establishing itself as one of India's leading coaching academies for preparation of Civil Services Examination. The academy has given magnificent results including AIR 1 in CSE 2021 – Ms. Shruti Sharma, AIR 3 in CSE 2018 – Mr. Junaid Ahmad, AIR 9 in CSE 2023 - Ms. Nausheen, AIR 17 in CSE 2013 – Mr, Faiz Aq Ahmed Mumtaz, Rank 1 in UP PCS Exam 2020 – Ms. Sanchita Sharma, to name a few.

The Centre draws upon qualified faculty with professional orientation to meet the requirements of the coaching programmes. Students are selected for coaching on the basis of an entrance test conducted for the purpose, and they are offered classroom teaching, which is supplemented and strengthened by periodic tests and evaluation. The library of the Centre has a holding of relevant material on a variety of subjects which is replenished regularly to facilitate students access to current and relevant material available in the required areas.
