IIT/JEE and other exams after
10+2 not only test the students for the hard work they have put in but also for
their situational intelligence. Most of the parents and students are puzzled
over the matter of selection of a good coaching center for IIT/JEE etc.
Following are the failure-proof factors to be considered for choosing a good
Coaching Centre:-
Track Record of Coaching Centre:
Parents / Students should know how old a coaching centre is and their success
records like number of students enrolled, percentage of students secured rank
within top 100 or 500 or 1000. To know the truth, it is better to surf the
internet and / or read latest issues of career magazines. A friend or relative
whose ward has earlier cleared such exams may guide well.
Faculties & Their
Qualifications: Parents should ask for a list of faculties and their
qualifications. An institute which has IIT-ians pool of teachers definitely has
an edge over other institutes which do not have.
Fees & Refund Policy: Parents
should ask about the options available in remitting the fees whether payable in
installments or entire fees to be paid at the time of admission and what about
the refund if the students discontinue. Some coaching centres refund a
percentage of fees depending on the period for which classes were attended.
Parents should never get lured by discounts and special facilities unless they
are genuine.
Quality of Classrooms: As health
plays a vital role for competitive exams like IIT/JEE, both parents and
students should visit the class rooms to know the comfortable seating /
lighting arrangements, discussion rooms and other good sanitation facilities.
Study Materials: Parents should
try to collect some pre-information about the quality of study materials
(whether study modules are supplemented by a plentiful supply of solved /
unsolved numerical and reasoning problems?). And the coaching centres have a
good library of supporting reference books?
Travel Time to Coaching Centre
& Mode of Transport: Parents should ensure that the centres are not far
away from the residence as the school-going students will be hard pressed to
maintain the timings and perform well.
Class Timing Options: Centres
generally provide weekdays or weekend options. However, parents should decide
which option will fit in to their children's daily routine in the best possible
way. Parents should also ask whether the timings can be changed, in case the
ward does not like the timings selected.
Adaptability of the Institute:
Exams like IIT/JEE change the pattern of question papers every year. As such,
the coaching centres should regularly amend its techniques to coach students by
conducting surprise tests, challenge sessions and non-conventional tests.
