In a significant boost to students from underrepresented communities, the Maharashtra Government’s Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Research and Training Institute (Mahajyoti), Nagpur, has launched a free online training program aimed at preparing students for competitive entrance exams including JEE, NEET, and MHT-CET.

The initiative is tailored for students from the Other Backward Classes (OBC), Vimukta Jati and Nomadic Tribes (VJNT), and Special Backward Classes (SBC). According to Shri Atul Save, Minister for Other Backward Bahujan Welfare and President of Mahajyoti, the scheme is witnessing an enthusiastic response from students across the state.

The application process for the 2025–27 batch commenced on May 15, 2025. Owing to an overwhelming number of applications, the deadline for submission has now been extended to June 20, 2025.

Students may apply through the official website www.mahajyoti.org.in or in person at the Mahajyoti Central Office in Nagpur.

“This initiative offers quality academic support to deserving and ambitious students, many of whom may not have access to premium coaching. Mahajyoti’s Pre-Training Program is a golden opportunity that can empower a generation,”
