Reforms, announced under ‘Kota Cares’ initiative launched last yr, aim to create a holistic ecosystem for students & have been developed through extensive stakeholder consultations.
Kota’s journey to becoming India’s most prominent coaching hub began in 1991. The coaching industry here and its related businesses have been valued at approximately Rs 6,000-10,000 cr.
For decades, Kota coaching institutes were the ‘gold standard’ for competitive exam preparation. Now Sikar, the city known for its havelis, forts, and the Khatu Shyam temple, is emerging as Rajasthan's Coaching Nagri or Shiksha ki Kashi.
The students from Bihar and Madhya Pradesh were preparing for the medical and engineering entrance exams, sources said they had fallen behind in studies.
IAF is firming up plans to revamp airlift capabilities with medium transport aircraft that will be assembled in India & serve as its main workhorse. Embraer is leading contender as of now.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
Kota must grow out of this coaching industry mindset.
The rat race for IITs and NEET serves no one – neither the aspiring students nor these hallowed institutions. Such coaching centres simply result in low IQ people (but very hardworking) flooding these reputed institutes and there y bringing down the quality of these institutions in the long run. Almost all IIT professors lament that the quality of talent they get nowadays is nowhere near what it used to be two decades ago.
Kota, in effect, has become a cuss word denoting students as muggers. Successful IIT candidates from Kota coaching centre are loathe to admit the same in public. They hide the fact that they have undertaken coaching classes at Kota centres simply because they are immediately tagged as muggers – people who rote learn rather than understand concepts.
