Is Coaching a Must for IIT-JEE? Three Advantages
With lakhs of students aspiring to get admission to the top engineering colleges in India, IIT-JEE remains a tough nut to crack. In this era of cutthroat competition, mere school education or self-study is not enough and one has to be completely prepared before appearing in IIT-JEE. A student may be talented or average, but what makes a student succeed, is the consistent effort that a student puts in and the guidance that a student receives. For a student who is sincere towards his dream, preparation starts years before the actual exam.
Let us discuss some advantages of opting for coaching to understand why coaching in these preparatory years is no more an option, but a must-have.
Guidance
A coaching institute not only provides one expert but a complete faculty of experts on individual topics. They can give honest feedback about the strengths and weaknesses of each student. This helps a person to improve on the weak points as well as master the strength and make the most out of them. A good institute focuses on clearing concepts. They do not only revolve around the textbooks but much beyond to make the mind think of multiple solutions for a problem, determine the best solution, and finally facilitate the development of the Problem-Solving Approach. It is very important to clear all doubts, understand the in and out of every concept so that the student can easily identify and solve when presented a problem with a variation on the same concept.
Strategy
Strategy is very important when we are competing against time. Courses are designed to keep students more focused on their goals. They follow a Targeted Approach towards any problem. The time management introduced at this stage can take us a long way. They are much more aware and intuitive of the upcoming question paper pattern and develop strategies surrounding that. As you know practice makes a man perfect, so the kind and volume of problem sheets, a problem with variations, mock tests, shortcuts, and techniques that are taught take the student that extra mile. It is very important to identify and maximize what a student is good at and spend more time in those pockets in the exam.
This year there are 4 phases for JEE exams and it provides an opportunity to improve your percentile with each phase. However, there is no restriction on the number of phases a student can take. The preparation strategy for each phase will be different. It is only the Institute Faculty who are the right people to provide the right strategy for these phases.
Ecosystem
A coaching institute provides a complete ecosystem that nurtures the IIT-JEE goal from all aspects. It provides a competitive environment, expert educators, the right knowledge/techniques, peer pressure a very important factor to keep the student in the game, and a support system that give an extra edge/confidence to the student and keeps the student motivated and focussed towards the goal all the time.
In the end, it comes down to the right mix of the student's preparation and the guidance provided. If a student is determined to achieve the IIT-JEE goal, coaching is the best way to leave no stone unturned to get prepared and face the ultimate challenge.
