Edited By: MADE EASY TEAM | Updated on Jun 24, 2024 05:24 PM IST | # JEE

Most of the students who take PCM (Physics, Chemistry, and Maths) in class 11th dream of clearing the IIT-JEE and grabbing a seat in any IIT or any of their favourite technical institutes. An undergraduate degree from IITs or top technical institutes can be life-changing. Graduation from IIT or a top technical institute can offer great jobs in technical sectors. Top private companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, etc. recruit directly from the top institutes; other than that, government organizations like BHEL, GAIL, ONGC, etc. also recruit from top technical institutes.

However, this journey is not as easy as it seems. Every year, more than a million aspirants apply for JEE Main. Around 2–3 lakh candidates clear JEE Main and get selected for JEE Advance. Out of these 2–3 lakh candidates, about 8–9% cleared JEE Advanced. For a clearer picture, let us go through the recent data: in the year 2024, around 12, 21,624 people applied for session 1 of JEE Main. This data is enough to explain the level of competition. JEE is a 12th-grade exam in which only science stream students can apply, yet the competition is so high.

To overcome and excel in such high competition, most of the students take coaching for IIT-JEE. This helps them prepare better for this tough competition. However, this is not the only reason why coaching is necessary. In this blog, MENIIT will list out the top reasons why aspirants should do coaching for IIT-JEE. We will also discuss whether aspirants should take offline or online coaching for JEE.

Why to join coaching institute for JEE

IIT-JEE coaching helps aspirants grab a seat in their favourite institute and course. There is no doubt that some students clear the exam without any coaching; however, their number is very low, and it is also not possible that every student has the same level of understanding. It is not possible for every student to have the same level of understanding; therefore, coaching is a good option. Most of the students start preparing in the 9th and 10th grades through foundation courses.

MENIIT is a new initiative by MADE EASY, an institute for GATE, ESE, and PSUs for students preparing for NEET and IIT-JEE. It offers offline classes for students from class 9th to 12th and 12th pass students.

To clear JEE, one needs dedication, patience, hard work, and the right direction and guidance, and this is where coaching institutes come into play. The role of coaching isn’t limited to syllabus completion and mock tests. Rather, good coaching institutes guide, make the aspirant aware of their mistakes, and help them rectify those mistakes so that those mistakes won’t get repeated in the exam hall. This is just an example; there are lots of other reasons. Let us look at them in detail.

Strengthening the basic concepts: Most of the good IIT-JEE coaching institutes work a lot on strengthening the basics of the students so that if any questions come up in the exam that the aspirant has no idea about, they can still solve them using their basic concepts.
Preparing for the next while earlier on check: One of the most important things during the preparation of any competitive exam is to remember the topics studied earlier while completing the syllabus. Most of the good coaching institutes take regular tests, which helps the aspirants stay in touch with the topics that they studied earlier.
Early bird catches the worm: Most of the coaching institutes offer foundation courses for students in class 9th and 10th. This helps the students enhance their logical thinking approach, application of formulas, and understanding of concepts. Also, with the increase in competition, most of the students join foundation courses, due to which coaching institutes pay extra attention to foundation courses.
Upper edge over the rest: IIT-JEE coaching provides an edge to the aspirants over their competitors; it helps them stay ahead, keeps them motivated before the examination, helps in understanding exam pattern, provides updated study material, and many other benefits might not be available without coaching.
Expert guidance: Most of the coaching institutes have expert faculties that guide the students through thick and thin. The importance of guidance can be understood from the Mahabharata. Arjuna was one of the greatest archers of his time, but he wouldn’t be able to win that war if Lord Krishna wasn’t there. Lord Krishna guided Arjuna and cleared his doubts before the war, which eventually led him to victory. So correct guidance is very important for the JEE aspirants before the examination.
Increased level of participation: A good coaching institute creates a “fake” competitive environment among aspirants from the very early stages. The aspirants keep competing among themselves from the start, which is actually a very good thing as it increases their level of participation and keeps them active in the real competition.
Good Study Material and notes: Study material and notes for IIT-JEE aspirants are as important as the weapons for the soldiers. Good coaching institutes provide the latest and most updated study material according to the exam pattern. In most coaching institutes, these study materials are either prepared by the class faculties or by a dedicated team of experienced members. This helps the students get all the resources in one place. Generally, the study material includes test series, modules, notes, formulas, revision books, etc. This helps the IIT-JEE aspirants achieve their target with relative ease.
Result oriented approach: Coaching institutes help the students prepare with a goal-oriented approach. They create an environment that enhances the disciplined approach among students.
Backup Option: Sometimes students miss certain topics during preparation because of medical reasons or some other reason, due to which they can’t understand the other topics. Most coaching institutes provide backup classes so that no concept is left and the aspirants can understand all the topics easily.
Discipline: Discipline is the first key to success; coaching institutes shape the aspirants in a disciplined way; regular classes create consistency among students; mock tests and quizzes make sure that students keep revising the content; this helps the students to improve time management skills and other mental skills.
Interactive offline as well as online classes: Most coaching institutes offer the flexibility of offline as well as online classes so that students don’t feel the burden of- their studies. The teaching methodologies of both methods are similar, which helps the students get equal benefit from both classes.
Mock test and regular revision: Generally, all the coaching institutes offer regular mock tests, which help the students check their knowledge at regular intervals. Students can get their doubts cleared in regular revision classes; these classes also help them revise and retain the earlier studied concepts.
Doubt Clearance: Doubts are inevitable during preparation; doubts are an indicator that students are grasping something. However, it is necessary that the doubts be resolved earlier. Coaching classes help the students clear even their slightest doubt, which eventually helps them during the examination.

These are some reasons which can indicate the need of coaching for IIT-JEE aspirants, however coaching can be optional if a student is determined and hardworking. Many students have cleared JEE examination without coaching, so coaching is not a parameter of selection, however it definitely helps in the preparation.
