PEECS: Entrance Coaching Scheme of Govt
The Public Entrance Examination
Coaching Scheme (PEECS) of the Government of Kerala will take off in
June 2013. The Programme was announced in the Budget for 2013-14 by the
Finance Minister. The innovative project of the Higher Education
department, aimed at giving free coaching to Higher Secondary students
of the state, both in the Government and Aided sector, for taking up the
Entrance Examinations in Engineering and Medicine will commence in
June, 2013.
In the first stage, the programme will
be implemented for the second year students of Plus two. By July, after
the admissions are completed for 2013-14, the scheme will be extended
to the first year students also of Plus Two stream in Government/Aided
Higher Secondary schools in the state. The scheme will have two
components mainly.
One component of PEECS will be the
telecasting of classes, each of one hour duration, based on the topics
in the syllabi for the Entrance Examinations of Kerala.
Coaching will be imparted for
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology (Botany and Zoology). The
one hour session will have a ‘subject’ discussion part and ‘question
& answer’ discussion part. The number of classes for each subject
for covering the entire syllabus is likely to be around 60. The classes
will be telecast through the VICTERS channel of IT@ School. The telecast
will be so scheduled during the school time so that the students get
the facility to view the programme along with the teacher engaging the
subject in the school. The classes that are telecast during the school
time will be telecast again in the evening/night.
The second component of the scheme is
the online practice test. After the telecast of a class on a topic is
completed, the students will get the facility to attend online practice
tests on that topic as per the Entrance pattern. This facility will be
provided through the PEECS website to be hosted with the technical
support of IT@School.
This test can be taken by the student
from the school or from home or at any place having a computer with
internet facility. After the test is completed, the student will get to
know the score, the answers to the questions with explanatory notes. As
the scheme progresses, more question sets will be added to the Question
Bank being developed side by side so that the students will get the
facility to take more practice tests. The students will have to register
at the website to get all these facilities. This will be done through
the institutions they are enrolled.
The student will also get the facility
to post a question to an expert in the subject and get answer to that.
The progress of the students will also be monitored under the scheme. By
the time the entire course is covered, the student will have the
facility to answer a full question paper online as per the entrance
pattern. A Question bank is also being planned as a component of the
scheme. The entire facilities related to the scheme will be provided
free of cost to the students.
Faculty from Higher Secondary Schools
and Colleges and retired faculty from Colleges have been identified for
engaging the classes under PEECS. Although the scheme is being
implemented for the KEAM Entrance Examinations now, it is expected to be
extended to more areas in the coming years.
