But I still think that this idea is not new and very well adapted from past. My past experience while preparing for IIT-JEE, aptly reveals that I had seen Ashwin Bharmbe's (IIT-JEE Topper '97) photo in almost four to five coaching institutes.(e.g. Apex Academy from Bombay,Agarwal Classes from Bombay, Bansal Coaching from Delhi,BT and FIIT-JEE too) During my preparation, I had joined BT and Vidyalankar classes and I was always finding this thing really puzzling how a student could think of joining so many institutes for coaching. Did he has a day of more than 24 hours? I know it must be correspondence coaching, but still can he study such diversified material from all institutes and my father had told me that it sounded like hoax only. True to that, it was just money-grossing business. But this was not expected from JEE toppers at least.
Main point of discussion is simple as this can be misleading for students and their parents and instead of making their lives , it simply can lead to a spoilsport. Finally getting through IIT-JEE depends on one's individual efforts and coaching are just for providing some guidance or competitive infrastructure needed for motivation. Coaching institutes can not make one work if there is nothing in oneself to pursue it. This reminds me some thoughts by Madan Lal , India's former test cricketer who once said "My years in International cricket has taught me one thing.Cricket is a god given gift. If I see a gifted child , I take interest in him.Otherwise I tell the parents not to waste my and their time and take their child wherever his potential lies". Can these coaching institutes make a dumb student to qualify for IIT-JEE?
