In the last 15 years entrance coaching institutions have flourished in Kerala. They specialise in teaching the tips and tricks to gain a better rank. But during the years they have grown very powerful and arrogant also.
Now they are misleading the students and controling them in ways we never imagined. My cousin, studied in Brilliant (palai) and he got a rank of 600 in Kerala entrance. We are were really happy for him cos he put in a lot of hard work and effort to achieve this. He missed many family events just to attend classes.
But everyone was surprised when he decided not to take admissions this year and repeat the exam once again next year. The Brilliant institute convinced him to repeat so that he could get into an IIT. He joined for classes again this monday.
Poor boy even deleted his orkut account to stay away from distractions and to concentrate on the studies. His orkut friends formed a “Memorial Community” in his name. He is a victim of the “Entrance coaching Mafia”.
The saddest part is that the boy has got no clue about engineering or the IITs. He wants to do an MBA and start a company. I suggested that he repeat for CAT, GMAT or GRE and not for engineering cos that can get him into a better business school or even a good university abroad. But he has no idea about these exams or the opportunities. He trusts and believes in his teachers at the coaching institute unaware of their business interests.
And when we speak of the entrance coaching institions we cant ignore the one lead by a semi God Man in the cultural capital of Kerala. I have never heard any of his students saying anything good about him. Every one complaints that he abuses the students and uses a lot of bad words. I think its a common trait of all God Men.
