Similarly, Next IAS has decided to provide ₹10 lakh each to the families of the three students. The coaching institute acknowledged the disruption faced by students enrolled at Rau’s IAS due to the incident. To support these students, Next IAS will offer classes for the remaining syllabus of Rau’s IAS current session at no charge. B Singh, the institute’s chief managing director, said in a statement, “Our motive to teach (without any charges) is just to help and support students affected by this tragic incident.” Next IAS is also exploring the feasibility of resuming classes at its Delhi center, converting one of its classrooms into a temporary reading room, and establishing a ‘Student Care Cell.’

SriRam IAS coaching institute has also pledged financial assistance of ₹10 lakh to each of the three victims of Rau’s IAS incident, as well as to the family of Nilesh Rai, who died from electrocution in Delhi’s Laxmi Nagar. The institute’s statement read, “Additionally, we extend an open invitation to the students of Rau’s IAS Study Circle to use our classrooms and libraries whenever needed. Remember, we are here to support you in every way we can.”

These offers of support come amid widespread student protests over high fees, unsafe environments, and exploitation by coaching institutes. On Thursday, civil services aspirants in Old Rajinder Nagar held a spot election to choose a core committee for talks with authorities. Despite commotion during the process, a 10-15 member panel will be formed to represent the students’ demands.
