You should go to the fiitjee centre (eg Kalu Sarai) and observe all the functions for yourself, before you admit your children. If your kids are being taught by a teacher in one of these coaching institutes – you better go and talk to the teacher regularly and ensure that his/her salary is paid, he/she is treated with dignity/respect in the institute, he/she is not subjected to abuse/humiliation/violence by the immediate “managers”. All the parents must regularly talk to the teachers to ensure that these institutes’ managers comply with the rules for basic human behavior, ie the managers must be held accountable: and this is what makes education possible, this is what makes it possible for the teacher to maintain discipline, ensure accountability from students and impart knowledge.

People who did actual work or even tried to do any real work – got thrown out in the process or got shifted into low pay positions. However, the bulk of the original content was created by these people…and in financially difficult circumstances, as it happened during covid and after, the productive people got thrown out first or they left…
If you don’t renew the content, it doesn’t work….because there is a lot of competition, and the creators had left. So, after a few years, the whole thing collapsed.
