If you are an IIT-JEE aspirant, chances are that you have dealt with the self-preparation vs coaching institution* dilemma at some point in time ie if you are not struggling with it still. IIT-JEE is perhaps the most prestigious and competitive examination in the country. And why not? After all, it opens your doors to some of the best engineering colleges in the country. So, the predicament about which road to take, vis-à-vis preparation for IIT JEE only make sense.
However, like every path taken, both the options present their fair share of pros and cons. It is important for anyone to understand the advantages and disadvantages of both self-preparation and studying in a coaching institute, before they take the plunge. Read on as we try to understand both sides of the story.
Before coaching centres mushroomed, self-preparation was the only way forward to IIT-JEE. And why not? After all, it was an economical choice to make. Besides, studying on one’s own gives one the chance to study at their pace. The flexibility that comes with self-preparation is undeniable. You don’t really have to get up early in the morning to attend a class, or give up on meeting your friends because you have a class scheduled.
But, this is where the benefits of studying on your own for IIT-JEE end. As lucrative as self-study may sound, it comes with its fair share of demerits. Studying on your own means that you are the only one who can assess your progress, and assessment of self isn’t always objective. This is quite unlike coaching centres, where there are experts at your aid, constantly monitoring your progress and even guiding you on how to do better.
Further on, self-preparation requires a humongous amount of self-discipline. How many times have you ended up binge watching that web series, telling yourself ‘one more episode’, and procrastinating that difficult chapter. That happens when you are studying on your own, a lot. The question is that can you afford such a callous attitude when preparing for an exam as difficult as IIT-JEE. However, the biggest drawback of self-studying for IIT-JEE is that you do not have expert guidance in case of conceptual difficulties.
A coaching institute, on the other hand, is equipped with professionals who can not just help you with difficult and challenging topics, but serve as a constant troubleshooter for all your queries. Coaching institutes are expert study centres that have been meticulously designed with an objective to help students prepare for competitive examinations.
With subject experts at their aid, they focus on conceptual instead of rote learning. By offering the students an absolute clarity of concepts at not just the surface, but a deeper level, they offer them an edge in competitive examinations. In addition, these experts are abreast with the changes in curriculum and latest teaching pedagogies to ensure that their students receive nothing short of the best. Despite these institutes offering so many advantages, many people refuse to opt for them simply for the expenditure they entail.
While the additional expenditure cannot be denied, the fact remains that they are value for money, considering all the guidance they offer. Besides, when something as valuable as your career is at stake, every investment is worth it. Some skeptics say that coaching institutes can make learning stressful because of the competition they enforce, and the pressure of having to balance curriculum in school and coaching. But isn’t stress and competition part and parcel of preparing for a ‘competitive’ exam anyway?
So, it is easy to conclude that coaching institutions are a great bet. But make no mistake, the same cannot be said for each one of them. When preparing for IIT JEE, you would want the best coaching centre in Delhi. While there are plenty options, it is recommended that you opt for one that recruits subject experts and offer a personalized learning approach. Amity Institute of Competitive Examinations (AICE) fares well in both criterion.
Nestled in the heart of south Delhi, it offers its students a constant support system. Students’ progress is analysed on a regular basis and constant feedback is provided that helps students work on their weak areas. In addition, students are offered earmarked study material. AICE with its holistic learning approach and a meticulously crafted teaching pedagogy, is certainly a mecca for any IIT JEE aspirant.
In the end, self-learning or coaching institution, the road to cracking IIT JEE is not easy; one that is marred with quite a few challenges. A coaching institution will only make the journey a tad bit easier.
