Online coaching business in India
The recent report by KPMG has stated that the number of students enrolled in online coaching classes is going to reach to 96 lakh by 2021 from 16 lakh in 2016
It is difficult to estimate the exact turnover of the coaching business because it is an unorganized sector. It is estimated that approximately 71 million students take to coaching or private tuitions. Due to this cities like Kota have emerged as one of the biggest coaching hubs in the country in recent years.
Coaching Business in lockdown
The coaching business has suffered huge losses to the tune of 75 thousand crore in the country due to the corona lockdown. The losses have made the coaching sector to move to online coaching phase in the country. Now the country is witnessing a shift to online coaching and many well-known Institutions have started their online coaching classes.
What changed in coaching cities after Corona?
Before Corona, the condition was that every year lakhs of students from every corner of the country with a dream of bright future used to take admission in coaching institutes which were located at coaching hubs. The entire economy of these cities revolved around these coaching businesses. Almost every person living in these cities depended to some extent on external students for their livelihood. The break out of corona brought the economy of these cities to a grinding halt.
Coaching Business Revival in Lockdown
The coaching sector suffered a setback in the early days of lockdown. But the sector rejuvenated. Now the sector is rapidly opting for an alternative path to digital coaching. Digital coaching has made the country smaller for students. Students living in small towns who earlier could not take admission in a reputed institute due to financial constraints or having no coaching institute in their home town can now get themselves enrolled in good online coaching institute of the country and enjoy the benefit.
Online coaching classes Are Growing
Education is getting costlier day by day. You need money to get enrolled in coaching institutes and further, invest in transport to reach the educational institutions.
The increase in online coaching classes is because of the availability of better technology in the market which has made it possible for students to ask their teachers questions in the same way as in normal classrooms when teaching in virtual mode goes on. Internet penetration and new online coaching platforms have broken many myths regarding online teaching. Today, all courses are in digital format, and students have become comfortable in their studies with the availability of high-quality video lectures.
Why do we need online classes?
Students are gradually shifting to online coaching. Online coaching is a cost-effective method of gaining knowledge as you only need the internet to have access to online courses. Due to digitalization, the price of the internet has reduced. In fact, the increasing competition for admission to engineering and management institute along with the poor levels of studies and teachers in schools has helped the coaching business flourish. This is the reason behind Kota’s success.
Students prefer online mode of teaching when it comes to preparation of competitive examinations like JEE, NEET, GATE, SSC, and Banking Exams. The foremost reasons for this are instant doubt resolution and proper planning through a day-wise study plan. Apart from these, the preference is also because of the convenience of preparing from home and access to live classes along with the financial affordability of digital mode of teaching. Moreover, online coaching classes involve small student batches as such every student gets personalized attention. While you are online you get access to more resources like online google libraries, etc.
Benefits of online classes in Lockdown
Online coaching has its benefits too. The biggest benefit is that students can study comfortably from their homes. They don’t have to travel long distances from their home town and apart from all this one also spends less. students also save heavily around 20 thousand or even more every month on food and lodging when they have to live in coaching hubs like Kota, Allahabad, Delhi, etc.
How Online Classes Are Helpful
In this Corona period, hundreds of coaching institutes in these cities are taking the path of online coaching instead of offline and for this most of the institutes have not even increased their fees. Most of the students are being also given the facility of payment in installments. Most of the students are now in favor of digital coaching keeping in mind the ongoing lockdown for months due to Corona and deep uncertainty about offline studies in the future. There is no other option before them.
The online coaching classes will further break the dominance of coaching hubs like Kota and some other big cities. Although it will take some time, it has already started. Those institutes who will be the early bird to start online coaching classes will reap the fruit of this change.
