The Civil Services Examination–Residential Coaching Academy (CSE-RCA) at Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) in Hyderabad has faced significant challenges since its establishment in 2009, failing to produce any successful candidates in the Civil Services Examination over 16 years. According to a Right to Information (RTI) response, the academy has suffered from intermittent funding, receiving ₹4.14 crore in its first year but facing gaps in financial support in subsequent years. While other minority-focused coaching centers like those at Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) and Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) have achieved notable success, MANUU's academy has been criticized for its lack of quality faculty and irregular classes. The director of the academy, Aleem Basha, noted that many students prioritize state public service exams over the more competitive UPSC exam. Former faculty members and students have echoed concerns about the quality of education and support provided. To improve outcomes, experts suggest recruiting qualified teachers and enhancing the coaching quality, which could help retain faculty and attract serious candidates.
