JEE Coaching: Why Is It Extremely Demanding?

JEE Coaching: Why Is It Extremely Demanding?

Edited By Nidhi Agarwal | Updated on Jul 05, 2023 08:59 AM IST | #JEE Main

Over 11 lakh students appeared for the Joint Entrance Exam in 2023. The competition among those aspiring to study at India’s premier engineering institutes is fierce and helping them wade through these turbulent tides are the JEE coaching institutes.

At Careers360 it has been our endeavour to give our readers a complete and in depth view of how the education sector and its stakeholders impact student life. With the student as our focus, our effort has to bring forth every nuance that you may require to make the right decision for yourself. It is with this thought in mind that we took it upon ourselves to analyse the JEE coaching journey of AIR top 100. Our analysis has now brought us to the second instalment of our research. Here we speak to the coaching community to understand what are the rigours of training the students who shine proudly in the Top 100 ranking

It is well known that JEE aspirants train hard to score a good rank. Coaches, tutors and coaching centres who aid these students crack the coveted engineering exam tell Careers360 about how it’s done.

To arrive at the top popular coaching centres, Careers360 analysed information available on JEE coaching taken by 67 students among the top 100 rank holders in JEE Advanced 2022.

Since students often take multiple coaching options we tracked the official websites of JEE coaching institutes across India and zeroed in on the most popular ones based on the choices of Top 100 AIR of this year. See the table below to know in detail.

The above table shows how the Top 100 All India Rank (AIR) chose while selecting a coaching institute for their JEE prep. Some of these students took help from one coaching or even multiple coaching; online or offline mode; four-years, three-years, two-years, one year or even few months course programmes.

Class Modules Offered By Coaching

Classes offered by JEE coaching institutes are in various modules, from offline to online to even hybrid mode. Students can take these classes right from Class 6 to Class 12 pass. The strength of the classes roughly falls between 20-50 students or 150-200 students depending upon the location and module of the batch.

Some coaching institutes even collaborate with schools to offer their students JEE and NEET coaching from Class 6 as well. This helps students to build a stronger base for such competitive exams. The classes help with tricks and shortcuts to calculations and provide strategies to ace school level exams as well as engineering and medical exams.

Coaching institutes also offer Mock Tests and Test Series to the students. On taking these tests, students can assess their level of preparation, conceptual understanding and identify their weak areas,” says RL Trikha, director FIITJEE Group. In turn faculty and trainers can enable students to overcome their weak concepts and give rough practice before they finally appear for the exam. According to Trikha, these tests are helpful in increasing speed and accuracy.

Parameters for Success Of Coaching

Success in JEE is measured by both quality and quantity of selections. As per Nitin Viijay, founder, Motion Education, “The success of any coaching depends 70 per cent on the student and only 30 per cent on the coaching institute.” He points out that those students who take offline classes are more likely to rank in the top 100 as they are in direct contact with teachers and the class environment which is competitive keeps them motivated.

However, Viijay is of the opinion that choosing multiple coaching may not be the right path to take. “Every institute has their own teaching method, this may lead to confusion, digression, loss of focus and eventually the inability to master a concept,” seconds Trikha. Multiple coaching options may also lead the student to waste time and energy.

Parameters Affecting Fees: JEE Advanced vs Main

Fees differ due to many parameters, it could be time duration, type of programme, mode of programme, mode of study material shared and many more. “Our institute offers a variety of scholarships for meritorious students as well as economically weaker sections students,” informs Trikha.

He adds that sometimes, coaching institutes prepare students simultaneously for JEE Main and JEE Advanced, and there is no difference in the fees for the two. While some coaching focuses on JEE Advanced first and also has a difference in fee structure. For instance, Motion Education has a difference of up to 35 per cent since the level of the JEE Advanced exam is higher and therefore requires extra effort from their faculty towards the students.

Faculty For JEE Coaching

A basic question that may come to mind is, how is the faculty at the coaching centre able to teach students concepts so effectively. Well, the answer lies in the fact that trainers at coaching centres undergo training themselves before they begin to teach young impressionable aspirants.

Coaching institutes have a rigorous training and testing process before hiring any faculty. Motion Education conducts regular training programmes for their faculty members to adopt and give a boost to their innovative teaching skills. However it is not all about training, a good faculty should be “able to engage with students in a way that they feel motivated to learn, focus on important topics and emphasize areas that have higher weightage in the exams,” explains Viijay.

Trikha explains that faculty at a coaching institute are a bit different than the school faculty as they are trained to follow unique researched teaching methodologies and transformational approach. According to him, the faculty acts as a bridge to fill the gap in between school-college learning, “a competitive exam like the JEE needs analytical skills to scale,” he says. Although Board and JEE are similar, JEE is an in depth conceptual mastery and application which needs developing analytical skills.

Viijay adds that often students can choose the faculty by watching their videos on different social media platforms or through friends and family references.

Location Of JEE Coaching Institute

According to Viijay, the location of the institute plays a crucial role in ensuring the success of the students. As much as skilled teachers are needed to provide quality education, the surrounding environment is equally important as it has a direct impact on the students’ mindset and attention span.

However, Trikha is of the view that students should choose a centre that is nearest to their residence “to save time of travel and energy.”

Nature of JEE Competition

Trikha is of the view that with new fields and new emerging technologies, seats and disciplines for engineering students at IITs will surely increase. “The JEE competition is set to get more and more fierce,” he says. Viijay adds that reforms, technology, diversification, preparation methods, policy and syllabus changes will make the exam more competitive and so will the coaching institutes play a major role.

As the competition becomes fierce, changes will happen, similarly the coaching institutes will have to make changes with the help of technology, focus and determination. Preparation methods, Concept clarity, its application and analytical skills will be the enablers. New online learning platforms and virtual classrooms will help students get personalised learning opportunities.
