The allocation of seats in the study circles will be 66% for BCs, 20% for SCs, and 14% for STs, with an additional 10% reserved for economically weaker section (EWS) candidates. The coaching will last for two months, during which candidates will receive a stipend of Rs 1,500 per month, along with Rs 1,000 for study materials.

In addition to offline coaching, the government plans to offer online DSC coaching for candidates who cannot attend the sessions in person. A special website will be launched to provide expert-led classes, along with past question papers and model papers for practice.
