Adv!ntages and disadvantages of coaching class

A readymade query that haunts
every aspirants is that should they
join some COACHING CLASS or
not.
I wil b discussing this query under
two headings.
1) Advantages of Coaching
2) Disadvantages of Coaching
Lets unmask both of them
### Advantages of Coaching ###
## If u r a fresher, then you don't
have much idea what to read nd
what to skip, which booksto b
preferd most , what strategy to
adopt . So in this case COACHING
is little beneficial as it saves your
time by giving u a definate direction.
But nowadays due to presence of
important articles on internet, the
above saying is not almost true.
## In Coaching Class, the take
mock tests nd keeps u busy in such
weekly tests. By these tests u will
came to know that ,,,,,''mein kitna
paani mein huu'' , where i m falling
nd how much i need to improve.
And also when some scores more
than u, u will get alert nd work
harder.
""Dont forget, its a competion where
u have to compete with yourself
evrry day nd u have to break your
own records.""
## Coaching cover entire syllabus in
a short span of time nd gives u
more time to update urself with
current affairs nd many other
activities..... ..
### Disadvantages Of Coaching###
## Coaching Classes r very
expensive . In Delhi their fees is
around 30,000 + for single subject
+hostel etc = 50000 upwards .
So a common man has to think
twice to take coaching.
## If the Coaching Centr is not
nearby where u stay, then it
consumes ur time nd energy due to
traffic, hot climate etc
.
## May b after joining coaching, u
will find ur speed not matching with
the teaching speed, So u r
wasting ur money nd time
## Most students think after joining
any reputed coaching centre, there
work is over,,,, They r absolutely
wrong ,,,Coz baiya ji coaching toh
sirf raasta dikhavt hai, aagay toh
aap hi ko bdna padega...... ;-)
""Dont wait for the external force
which will pushyou to study, U urself
have to work hard to reach at the
top""
#### Some Tips After Joining ny
Coaching Class
1) Do ask Questions,,,, ( atleast
ehan to mat shrmaoo pls :-)
Dont think if i ask question , i'll look
stupid, what will other students think
about me .....get out of this
mentality first.
Whenever u have doubt ask u
teacher,,,,nd believe this thing u will
nevr forget.
## Keep ur Ego nd Jealously in your
home,
Most of freshers behaves strangely
nd think other candidates to b his
rival enemy. This wudn't will help
you. It prevents u from inteacting
with othe candidates,,,( aray lalu ,
nobody will takes ur seat, jisko
select hona hoga voh khud
hojaega , tum lalu hi rheo.....jokes
apart.)
So have friendly nature with all ,
make groups , have discussions on
on small nd big issues, share ur
views. This will helps u in learning
newthings,,,,
REMEMBER : Coaching is only
aid---- not the solution.......
pls SHARE THIS POST so as to
benefit the max......
