It is crucial to take guidance in preparing for IIT-JEE (advanced). Experts can help you along the journey to crack IIT-JEE.
IIT-JEE tests your limit of understanding through challenging problems. Understanding the basics is very important to solve any problems. Learning different ways to solve a problem and the know-how of why the particular problem can be solved using one or more concepts is crucial in strengthening the basic understanding.
An experienced teacher can teach a topic such that you understand it clearly by invoking various applications and scenarios.
There are two modes of coaching available:
- Offline classroom program
- Online program
There are three major aspects in JEE coaching:
- Understanding the theories
- Clearing doubts
- Rigorous testing
Let’s analyze which mode works the best based on these three aspects.
Online JEE Coaching
Many top coaching institutes started offering online coaching classes for the JEE.
Understanding the theory works in this mode of coaching for the majority of the students, except for those who can not concentrate or learn by watching videos.
Clearing the doubts does not work very well in this mode, as it requires personal interactions and online coaching classes can not offer that for average students. Unless you are gifted and they want you to succeed to make their reputation better.
Rigorous testing also does not work in this mode. Continuously challenging yourself by appearing in monthly mock tests is very important. Online tests sitting at home can not reflect the environment in the examination hall with fellow competitors.
Offline Coaching
Learning through interactions or being present in a physical classroom is very important. Interacting with classmates and teachers is vital to learning.
For JEE coaching Kota (Rajasthan) sets the benchmark of effective and good methodologies. Over the years, institutes in Kota perfected the teaching and testing methodologies by producing thousands of iitians. Real competitions of getting into IITs can be seen in Kota, you can compete with fellow competitors by appearing in institute mock tests and gauge your chance of getting into IITs.
What about the aspects of JEE coaching?
Understanding the theory works best in in-person classes, where you can interact with teachers and classmates and discuss the topic you don’t understand very easily.
Clearing the doubts works best in offline classes. You can clear your doubts from teachers or your classmates.
Rigorous testing also works best in offline mode. Continuously testing yourself by appearing in mock tests in a similar environment as the final JEE advanced will improve your time management and stress management. Using these tests you can compare yourself with other competitors and evaluate your standing.
Coaching in Kota
Institutes in Kota have perfected the teaching and testing methodologies to crack JEE. Every year 2000+ students are selected from Kota alone.
Competition is the key
There are many top coaching institutes in Kota. To get admission to any of the institutes you have to appear in their respective admission eligibility test. Admission and scholarship will depend on your rank in that particular test, additionally, if you are a state’s rank holder or previously appeared in JEE, and hold a good mark that will also add to the scholarship.
What is a batch?
Each institute has its own set of batches and students are admitted to a particular batch based on their rank in the admissions test.
Top batches (max 2 to 4 batches) are given more attention and the top teachers only teach at the top batches.
Reshuffling
Each month (vary with institute/program, can be also each quarter) mock tests are conducted similarly as JEE advanced examination. These tests cover the subjects taught so far in the institutes for that program. Based on your performance you may be promoted to a top batch or you may be also downgraded to a lower batch, this is called reshuffling.
Reshuffling adds fierce competition among students as everyone wants to move to upper batches to get taught by top teachers and other related privileges.
These tests will prepare you to appear in the final JEE advanced test. These tests can help you in time management and stress management in the examination hall. Through these tests, you can know your standing in that particular institute and your future rank in JEE.
Downside: If you can not handle competition, this reshuffling can add mental pressure and you may not want to be part of an institute that follows reshuffling.
Teaching
A good teacher can help you understand any topic thoroughly. Many top teachers in Kota have their way of solving problems (tricks) and teaching various topics. You will not learn those from online classes as they won’t teach you those in online/recorded lectures.
A good teacher will challenge you through complex daily practice problems sheets (DPPs).
Also for clearing doubts, most institutes set up specific doubt counters. In the allotted time, students can go to any doubt counter and get their doubts clear.

- Allen
- Vibrant Academy
- Resonance
