Madhyamik Drop-out Coaching(MDOC)
Overview
About MDOC
Madhyamik Drop-out Coaching is a Tripura state scheme that funds remedial coaching for Scheduled Tribe students who sat the Madhyamik (Class 10) examination but did not pass. Rather than let those students drift away from schooling, it prepares them to sit the examination again. The scheme is administered by the Tribal Welfare Department, Government of Tripura.
The coaching runs as a seven-month cycle, from August to February, and is delivered through recognised NGOs that operate dedicated centres for Madhyamik-failed ST candidates. Enrolled students receive a stipend during the coaching period. Implementation is shared between these NGOs and the district and sub-divisional administration.
Applications come from recognised NGOs rather than individual students: a centre must be run by an organisation with at least three years' experience and a proven record of getting ST candidates through the examination. The students who benefit are Madhyamik-failed candidates from Scheduled Tribe communities in Tripura, with preference given to those from interior tribal areas and below-poverty-line households.
