NEW DELHI – The Haj Bhawan BPSC (Bihar Public Service Commission) Coaching in Patna has achieved remarkable success, with over 200 students now serving in various positions across the state. The coaching centre, which started as a modest effort, is set to expand further, with plans to connect minority students from different districts through online smart classes. This new initiative aims to widen the scope of education and ensure more students benefit from the provided coaching.
In an exclusive conversation with Clarion India, Mohammad Rashid Hussain, CEO of the Haj Committee and Coordinator of Haj Bhawan Coaching, shared the inspiring journey of the coaching centre, which has become a beacon of hope for minority students in Bihar.
The Haj Bhawan BPSC Coaching, which began in 2014 with just 50 students, has now grown into a life-changing institution for many. Reflecting on its humble beginnings, Hussain said, “We started this journey with the help of a few friends, without any external support. The response was so positive that the government’s Minority Welfare Department took notice and extended its support.”
Initially aimed at preparing students for the BPSC exams, the centre now also offers coaching for police services, including posts like Constable, Fire Police, Jail Police, and Sub-Inspector. To date, more than 2,000 students have successfully passed through Haj Bhawan’s coaching programmes, securing positions in both state and national services.
This year, a significant change is being implemented. In addition to the 150 residential students, pupils residing in minority hostels across various districts will now have access to live classes through online smart classrooms. “We are developing a system to connect students from different districts with our coaching through smart classes. This will help students who cannot physically attend Haj Bhawan to still benefit from our teaching,” Hussain said.
“Once this process begins, a large number of students will have access to BPSC coaching while staying in their districts,” he added.
The coaching centre’s impact is clear from the success of its students. According to Hussain, “Over 200 students have secured posts in police and premium services across the state. Many of our students have even gone on to crack the UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) exam, like Zufisha Haqq, who was initially a BPSC student and later cleared the UPSC exam, securing 34th rank.”
Hussain further mentioned that many of the students are serving as Deputy Collectors, DSPs (Deputy Superintendents of Police), and in other prestigious positions. “These students are a testament to the potential that lies in Bihar’s minority communities,” he said.
One of the most promising aspects of the Haj Bhawan coaching programme is the inclusion of female students. Hussain proudly stated, “Approximately 35 to 40 percent of our successful candidates are girls. Among the 200 successful candidates, around 55 are female, and they are now holding various positions in state services.”
Hussain emphasised the need for more opportunities for women, especially in rural areas. “Women have extraordinary talent, but they often lack the platform and encouragement they need to succeed. We have seen remarkable results when they are given the chance,” he added.
Haj Bhawan’s coaching efforts have also shed light on the potential of students from rural areas. Hussain shared the story of a student from Begusarai, whose father was an ironworker. “This student had completed his BSc in Mathematics and was doing his MSc when he came to us. He cleared the BPSC on his first attempt with Mathematics as his optional subject and is now serving as a Circle Officer,” he said. “There is immense talent in rural areas, and with proper guidance, these students can crack any competitive exam.”
In addition to BPSC coaching, Haj Bhawan has been providing police training since 2010. More than 2,000 students have successfully secured positions in various police services, from constables to DSPs. Hussain proudly mentioned that 50 students were recently selected for the Daroga (Sub-Inspector) post, 13 of whom are girls.
Former students who benefited from Haj Bhawan’s coaching have nothing but praise for the programme. Noorul Haq, who is now a DSP in the Bihar Police Service, shared his experience: “I did not prepare for PT and Mains here, but Haj Bhawan’s interview preparation helped me in BPSC. I urge minority students to take advantage of this excellent coaching system.”
Similarly, Huma Irfan, who cleared the 68th BPSC and is now part of the Bihar Administrative Service, praised the supportive environment at the coaching centre. “Haj Bhawan is an excellent place for girls to prepare for competitive exams in a safe and religious environment. It played a significant role in my success,” she said.
With the ongoing support from the Bihar Minority Welfare Department and the dedication of its team, Haj Bhawan BPSC Coaching continues to shape the future of minority students. As Hussain puts it, “We aim to guide and inspire more students, especially those from rural areas and underprivileged backgrounds, to achieve their dreams. With Allah’s grace, we will continue to grow and succeed.”
