There is a lot of discussion about the Residential coaching Academy of Jamia Millia Islamia College because of Shruti Sharma, who secured the first rank in UPSC 2021.
Last year, Suresh Chavan, editor of Sudarshan News, had accused this institution of doing UPSC jihad. Though it was just a propaganda out of a communal mind, but he wanted to say how children of a minority institute are becoming IAS by using government resources.
This is a slap on the face of such people when Shruti Sharma passed the UPSC exam after studying from Residential coaching Academy of Jamia. RCA proved that higher educational institutions of the country do not discriminate against the religion and caste of the children. Shruti Sharma, who completed her studies from JNU and Jamia, also proved that no matter how much people try to tarnish the image of these institutions, no one can compete with the intelligence of the students studying here.
