Over 800 competitive exam aspirants on Holkar College Library waitlist
Indore: A government-run library at Govt Holkar Science College has become the most sought-after study centre for competitive exam aspirants in Indore. Over 800 students are currently on the waiting list for membership. Set up by the district administration as an affordable alternative to private libraries, the facility is witnessing overwhelming demand from MPPSC and UPSC aspirants. There are long registration queues and students wait days, even weeks, for a seat. Due to its limited seating capacity of 200, students are enrolled on a first-come, first-served basis. The library operates in two sessions — 6 am to 2 pm and 2 pm to 10 pm — and has quickly become a preferred destination for sincere aspirants seeking a focused study environment. With no immediate vacancies, registered students often wait several days before gaining access. "To manage the rush, we cancel registrations of students who are absent for 15 consecutive days and allot those seats to students on the waiting list," said Zila Panchayat CEO Siddharth Jain. He said, "The overwhelming response reflects the urgent need for more such affordable study centres." The library offers high-speed Wi-Fi, national-level study material in Hindi and English, major newspapers and magazines, and a quiet, air-conditioned study space. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo RO-filtered drinking water and five air conditioners have been installed for the comfort of students.
