I am happy to note that some of the students have their own insight about the matter.
.
First of all; I wish to make it very clear that I had never attended any coaching since my school life till CA Finals. Yes, it is true that we had our team of 6 students who used to compete with each other and raised "unique" questions to the teachers in Standard X, XI and to lecturers while we were in graduation.
.
My weight was only 28kg. when I got I Rank in Secondary Education ( everyone of our team got a Rank ).
I could write 36 words per minute. In the age of 16, till today I am the youngest person in India who had highest speed in Hindi typewriting.
.
The above post I have written on my own experience.
.
I was also engaged in coaching classes till 2007-2010.
.
I always focused more on learning and giving insight about the subjects how these are career oriented. I used to take test on the same day which students disliked.
.
Since students were more interested in passing only as was the scenario; hence I left that coaching knowing soon students will realize what would happen to them in near future.
.
Surat is known as CA HUB OF PASSING. And if anybody is interested to hire the services of such qualified CAs; more than 200 CAs are in queue.
.
Regarding coaching; even one of the India Rankholder in IPCC; Sneha Bagla (Sunshine-member of caclubindia) has expressed her sorrows about the faculties of coaching classes in Delhi.
.
CA Curruculum is wonderful; no doubt about it.
.
I am of strong opinion that maximum 12 lectures are required for most of the subjects. This would be sufficient to give insight about the subjects.
.
( I "honestly" feel that students will disagree with this point ).
.
Although I don't wish to go into details but I simply want to draw the attention of all :
.
Many times some subjects were never completed in schools and if completed; almost at the time when schools were likely to declare exam holidays and extra classes were taken if not completed even after declaration of exam holidays.
.
Tell me for how many days a school is run in a year and how many classes are taken every day?
.
The answer is not less than 240 days a year.
.
Can't the teachers complete simple subjects say English, Hindi, History, etc. within 3-4 months and that also very easily ? If they can't do it; it means they are not expert in the subjects (although teaching the same subjects for number of years) and they could not create interest in the subjects. In most of the cases; they thought they have to read word to word of every chapter because students were UNABLE to UNDERSTAND at their own. This MISCONCEPTION continues till Standard XII and then becomes the HABIT OF STUDENTS to study WITH THE HELP OF A TEACHER/FACULTY.
.
This is the reason that most of the students join tuition classes. Hardly anyone is there who is not attending tution classes.
.
There is a difference between Coaching and Tuition. Present Coaching classes are actually Tution Classes. Surely there would be difference if the faculties are either in Practice or in Industry. Those who are engaged in only teaching. are actually TEACHERS ! They know better about exam patterns than the actual usefulness of the subjects in the career.
.
Coaching is personalized whereas Tutions are generalized.
We know well that even Sachin Tendular has his own Coach ! What more to say !
.
A particular student may feel more troubles in Costing than Accountancy. So he requires coaching for that subject only. But he has to go for Accountancy as well and he has to wait for the turn of Costing !
.
The percentage results of coaching classes is almost same all over India even if you compare with the cities where coaching facilities are not present. Since in some cities number of students are too much; hence qualified number of students will also likely to be too much.
.
They claim good results say 30% of their classes; then what about rest of 70% who failed despite joining the same coaching classes?
.
I wish to narrate one example of Kolkata of 1985 (not sure about the year).
.
In Lodha & Company, 47 out of 50 passed in CA Final Exams and they didn't enjoy coaching ! One got 6th Rank : CA Lalit Choudhary. And this happened when the results were use to have 4-5.%
