Though I am writing this review, let me tell you that I have never joined any coaching class even for the much hyped 10th Std. exams. I studied on my own and I guess I didnt fare that bad in my exams. My report card never carried any thing below a first class throughout and got a distinction in finals. And I am NOT an exceptional brainy type, Just an average student.
You dont really need a coaching class for your studies.
I feel that a student has to go to school/college and then he goes to classes, he gets more tired and exhausted to do revision or study on his own. The more exhausted a person gets, the lesser amount of studies he can undertake.
Coaching classes encourages rote learning and they pay more attention to ''Frequently asked or most important questions'' and the students learn them without understanding.
This doesnt do good to your general knowledge or improving understanding of subject. Once the exam is over your mind and brain gets as clean as that of a new born baby. Few years down the line when your kid will ask you any question ''Papa/Mama what does so n so mean?'' you will shove him away saying ''Dont bother me?'' as you dont know the answer.
Still if you feel the need... here are a few tips
Choosing a Coaching Class
With so many classes mushrooming in and out the city, the choice becomes very difficult.
The biggest mistakes made in choosing a coaching class is Choosing on the basis of the one that your friend/s has chosen.
By the end of it, all friends land up in one coaching class and they have a gala time and studies are left at bay. Many might disagree with me, but this is what I have seen happen.
Choose the one which has a proven track record of rank holders every year.
And these types of classes are pretty expensive. Once you join them extricate every single penny you paid by being a diligent student and attending it regularly.
Try and locate the one near you school/college or home That way you will save a lot of valuable study and relaxation time.
Check on who will be teaching you
Many a times its silly graduates or even at times undergraduates with a worse academic record recruited as teachers in coaching class. Just stay away from such classes. Enrol only if some professors with good reputation takes the classes.
I still feel, trust your grey cells. They are not that bad man! Exercise them and you dont need any coaching class.
