Just because places like Kota produce significant amounts of results doesn’t mean you can
ignore the staggering amount of students who actually start their JEE preparations there.
So assuming that there are no good coaching places where you live, the next question is: Is
Kota the best place to start your preparation?
It used to be, but not anymore!!
Why not?
Let usstrong text discuss the Pros and Cons:
Let’s look at the factors in favor of Kota (Pros) :
-World Class faculty. The concepts taught by them will leave you mesmerized at times.
-Amazing preparation material. There is hardly any concept that they will miss out on in their
materials.
-Competitiveness. Just looking at how hard people are working will get you started. That
guilty feeling will help you push harder.
-You learn a lot by living alone. You will become independent and will learn to manage
everything which your parents used to do till now.
-So many messes to choose from. If you don’t like the food from any particular mess, then
move on to the next one. If you like it, still no harm in trying the next one.
-You get to interact with so many different kinds of people. (Remember: You’re the average
of 5 people around you). So, choose your company wisely.
-Difficult tests which prepare you for the worst. The question papers are usually tougher
than what you will encounter in the actual exam.
-Giving a test along with thousands of students prepares you for the actual day. Till then, you
will get accustomed to it.
Now, let’s get to the Cons:
-A lot of distractions: Smoking, Drinking, Attractions, Cyber Cafe/Counter-Strike, etc.
-Pressure to perform, Pressure to study, Pressure to fulfill parent’s dreams.
-Too much competition can be demoralizing. Not doing well in the initial few tests can be
disheartening. (Because it takes time for people to settle in a new environment, therefore
reaching your peak may take time)
-Homesickness. You will miss your parents, your friends, and your comfortable life.
-Not every batch gets world-class profs. Once you’ve paid your installments, lower batches
may get new profs which ain’t so good. (Not sure about every institute, but it does happen in
some well-known ones).
-No personal attention. People are often too scared to ask personal doubts fearing being
mocked or ridiculed by others. When you’re in a class of a hundred, this happens a lot.
-Also, climate can be another factor you could look at. It gets pretty cold in Kota during
winter.
-It is bloody crowded, there is a very good chance you will be lost in the crowd.
-Too much material to solve. If you fall back, it gets very tough to catch up!
