Aspirants for UPSC and MPSC examinations who live in Pune Municipal Corporation areas can still apply for free coaching and training programmes conducted by Competitive Examination Centre (CEC) on the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) campus. The last date to apply online has been extended to September 6.

Financial aid for the non-residential programme is provided by PMC, which is conducted for 11 months.

Fazal Firdausi, assistant professor at CEC, SPPU, said as aspirants are still unaware of the programme, they have requested the PMC to extend the deadline by 10-15 days. “Festivals are scheduled to begin next week and since we wish for more deserving candidates to enroll in the coaching programme, we have requested an extension,” he said.
