When the free coaching commenced in Siddipet, Gajwel, Dubbaka, Husnabad and Cheriyal, only 1,034 of them joined the free coaching. The police offered training for written and physical examinations besides providing boarding and lodging. Of the 1,034, only 532 had cleared the preliminary examination. When the physical fitness examination was conducted, 250 cleared it. Then the Police department had organised rigorous coaching for the main examination by roping in expert faculty from Hyderabad. Out of 250 aspirants, 99 cleared the mains including 29 females, while one got an SI job.

During the interaction with Harish Rao, many aspirants said they could not have afforded the coaching since it would cost them anywhere between Rs.50,000 to Rs.1 lakh.
