Students from the first year, second year and third year B.E. classes are admitted for coaching for the Civil Services Examinations.

This Academy has a plan to establish a permanent Center for Civil Services Examinations (UPSC Examinations) in future. Thousands of poor and deserving students will be encouraged for the above course.
