The culture of joining in a coaching institute is now a days very common amongst the youth preparing for competitive exams, mainly JEE and NEET. Every year lakhs of students enroll themselves in a coaching institute, many of them don’t even know the purpose and just go about it due to lack of awareness, only in the hope to become engineers or doctors.

There is definitely a sense of rat race going on, inculcated within the students. But the Coaching Industry is not totally at fault here. Institutes are established to help children only and those who actually have inclination towards the advance study, flourish  greatly in such competitive environment. The major problem is that majority of students without a purpose in life yet and no awareness on other options, enroll themselves and so get crushed by the burden of responsibilities and higher competition causing stress and depression and forcing many to end their life.

Every Problem comes with a solution, So to reduce this burden of competion in coaching industries, what can be done is:

1. Spreading awareness on every field a person can take up apart from Engineering and MBBS.

2. Proper guidance, without putting much stress, given to students who actually are interested in giving competitive exams.

3. Involvement of parents to see if their child is facing any issues or feeling any burden. And not pressurize them to continue with this only if they don’t want to.

4. Laws made against institutes who charge hefty money from parents in the name of ‘advanced studies’

5. Mental health and awareness sessions conducted by the institute mainly encouraging students to talk, if they are facing any problem and solve it right away.

If we try to solve this issue together, coaching environment won’t anymore feel like a rat race going on.
