There was a time when 4 out of 5 aspirants went to Kota to prepare for competitive exams like IIT-JEE and NEET. The aim was to make that 1 year in Kota count and life-changing in a positive manner. But, the constant pressure to study more and to move to a higher batch made students put their physical and mental health at stake. Unfortunately, at that time the internet was still struggling to find its place in everyday life. Not to forget, it was a real struggle to open a page due to the speed offered. And there were no options for online entrance coaching for both IIT-JEE and NEET.
But the times today have changed, and the internet has found its place in every household. Not to forget, the reach and speed of internet have grown incredibly. Not only are the cities connected with 3G/4G network but the villages as well. This reach and incredible connectivity make it easier for even those who hail from a remote area and cannot afford to move to a different city to prepare for a competitive exam. Technology-based learning has become a blessing for aspirants living in remote areas.
For those who are still not convinced, here are 5 benefits of online entrance coaching over conventional coaching.
1) Self-Paced Learning
The biggest advantage of opting for online learning methodology is that the students can learn at their own pace. They can prepare a learning schedule that matches their learning speed and slowly start accomplishing the targets set. On the other hand, in conventional coaching classes, all students must maintain a similar pace as that of the faculty. Furthermore, in conventional setting, studying is the priority and students must follow the schedule maintained by the faculty. Any break in the rhythm with the faculty or other students can cost big.
2) Lower Cost
There is no denying the fact that conventional campus coaching is expensive than online coaching. Not only expensive in terms of course fees but also the expense that goes into commuting. The best part about signing up for online entrance coaching is that students can study from wherever they want. Furthermore, those hailing from remote areas can particularly get benefited by opting for online coaching. Plus, they won’t have to leave the comfort of their home, deal with homesickness and other drawbacks that come with shifting to another city.
3) Comfort
Many things accompany when one leaves their home and moves to another city to pursue their medical or engineering dream. Being away from home diverts attention, depreciates health and may even entice the students to indulge in leisure activities. With online coaching, these distractions are completely at bay. Not only can students study from the comfort of their home in a healthy environment but they can also seek mental support from their parents in times of need.
4) Flexible Schedule
There are those who find it easy to study in the morning, then there are those who are better at concentrating when the world is sleeping. Conventional coaching centres have specific business hours and no matter whether a student is comfortable studying during the day or night, they must attend the classes at the time specified by the coaching centre. With online coaching, students can have flexible time for learning. They can devise a schedule that suits their sleep pattern and work out ways to complete the syllabus well in time according to their learning pace. Furthermore, with our digital learning modes like Aakash Live and Aakash iTutor, students can prepare from whichever part of the country they want.
5) Ample Resources
Though coaching institutes offer study material, the students are required to take down notes while the faculty is teaching. They must also take down all the notes exactly like they are taught as most of the times topics are not repeated. On the other hand, in online coaching one can watch the video lectures repeatedly till their doubt exists. The same goes for other study materials like eBooks. This makes practice and learning easier in online mode when compared to conventional coaching.
Final Words!
With the above-listed advantages, it is clear that online coaching is better when it comes to a lower cost and self-paced learning. Online coaching is here to stay, and it will only grow as time passes. However, we at Aakash Institute advise the students to choose their study mode according to their preference, so they get the best out of it.
