The advantages and disadvantages of coaching classes that every student must know
Every student nowadays prefers to take coaching classes to score well in board exams, entrance exams, or competitive exams, it has become a trend for students to take admissions in coaching institutes as they consider them to be a better option to attain knowledge that they basically fail to get in any other medium of learning. The question that comes to mind now is if coaching institutes’ students are able to give an edge over the self-studied students.
This topic has turned into a debate whether it is compulsory for students to take help from coaching institutes or they are capable of scoring well with self-studies. In this article, we are going to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of coaching institutes for students who are little confused in deciding if they should go for it or not. (Though some coaching institutes also send coaching module to different states and major cities of India based on the pin code of the place, such as pin code of Bihar and pin code of Delhi). But the matter of the fact is to make students understand what could be beneficial for them.
Advantages of coaching students for aspiring students
· Correct guidance- Coaching institutes provide better career guidance as to what and how syllabus need to be prepared from 9th to 12th classes so that students are able to shape themselves accordingly for competitive exams, entrance exams, etc. In coaching institutes, the students not only get the correct academic guidance but also they are able to know better career options and choose the right path as per their interest and academic record. Coaching institutes are really helpful from where you can kick start your career and seek good career guidance from the connoisseurs of teaching.
· The personalization of studies- In school, teachers have to deal with 40–50 students in the class and they just focus on covering their syllabus for subjects in the time allotted to them. At coaching institutes, each student gets individual attention for all the subjects that they show the interest for. Coaching institutes provide better learning and development platform to students as per their requirement.
· Specific subjects are covered- In school, if due to some reason if a student is absent, he misses out on the important topic and loses track of studies. Students are not able to cover the missed-concepts even if they want to because every day they have to follow the ongoing concepts in the classroom.
But in the coaching institutes, they get to learn topics as per their comfortability and cover up each concept that they miss out at school. In school, students fail to understand the comprehensive chemical reactions concept whereas the same they learn with ease by following the concept from the starting in brief in coaching institutes and even if they fail to understand it at one attempt, they may ask the same thing multiple times for clarity.
Disadvantages of coaching institutes for students-
· Additional expenditure on education- Though, the facility of coaching is far away from the reach of students who belong to the far-flung areas but they can visit the nearest bank branch and order the coaching materials from the cities. Each branch has its IFSC code such as IFSC code of HDFC and IFSC code of PNB. This facility is good but comes with it the burden of expenditure that often becomes a barrier for middle-class and lower middle-class family.
Nowadays, the cost of education is rising with each passing year, and not all students are intelligent who without seeking the coaching institutes could score well, for those students, parents have to afford extra expenses on education so that their child gets good scores in academics.
Sometimes, teachers at school run the home tuition as well and parents think their child will get more attention and score well in academic as the teacher is known to the students but nothing happens the way parents think, teachers sometimes do not teach properly as their motive is to just earn an extra buck by giving tuition.
· Burden of homework on students- Coaching institutes believe that homework is a good form of keeping students in touch with the study materials. Teachers in coaching institutes make students practice well to prepare for exams and entrance exams. But the sad part is students have to finish school homework simultaneously apart from the coaching work, going through the subjects taught in school and coaching institutes together make them feel burdened and they are not able to refresh them and devote enough time properly to subjects.
· Coaching academic structure is different- Coaching institutes follow a personalized study pattern whereas it is completely different in schools they follow the generic pattern for each batch in the classes. This comes across as a dilemma and confuses students if they should be in touch with schools studies or follow coaching classes’ methods.
Conclusion- The conclusion is that those who are brilliant can manage to prepare board exams, competitive exams, or entrance exams on their own but those students who need to learn better and score well and feel the need to join the coaching institutes, then joining coaching institutes is the best idea for them. But self-studies are also equally important as going to school and coaching institutes, this method keeps you focused towards your academics.
