It was expected by the government that more than 10000 students would join these coaching centres. The number of students in most of these coaching centres was low. The low patronage was due to factors like lack of teachers or absenteeism, low teaching standards and lack of interest etc.
On Friday, 23rd November 2018, a circular was issued by Mr. V.C. Rameshwaramurugan, director of TN school education department. As per the circular it is brought out that all CEO or chief educational officers and school headmasters must encourage more students to join these coaching centres.
