Who made Kota famous for education?

He allure of an IIT education has made boomtowns of places. Some, like Kota in Rajasthan, have virtually become ‘ coaching factories’ churning out hundreds of successful IIT applicants every year. – Why Kota Is Famous For Education : He allure of an IIT education has made boomtowns of places. Some, like Kota in Rajasthan, have virtually become ‘ coaching factories’ churning out hundreds of successful IIT applicants every year.Kota draws thousands of students from all over the country who enroll in institutes to prepare for IIT-JEE.

  1. Your ticket to your dream IIT” reads the logo of one of the leading coaching institutes in Kota.
  2. An IIT aspirant who comes to town is told not to worry about Class XII board exams conducted by the CBSE.
  3. Coaching institutes tell students that they will be admitted in local secondary school they have tie- ups with, where attending classes is optional.Such elaborate arrangements allow a student to focus full- time on IIT- JEE preparation.Getting admission in these institutes, however, is not necessarily a cakewalk.

An entrance test is conducted, which enables institutes to take in the cream of the students so that their success rate remains high.Regular tests are also held after the commencement of the classes for the new academic year. A candidate is expected to obtain maximum attendance during the course period.Kota’s rise as an IIT coaching hub began in 1985 when V.K.

Bansal, an engineer employed with the citybased J.K. Synthetics Ltd since 1971, set up Bansal Classes that subsequently became Bansal Classes Private Limited.Bansal began giving tuitions to Class VII students in 1981 and subsequently took on Class X and XII students.The turning point came in 1985, when his first student cleared the IIT- JEE examination.He set up Bansal Classes, and in 1991, he took voluntary retirement when it dawned on him that he had laid his hands on something big.The Bansal empire now has branches in 16 cities countrywide.However, in Kota itself, where the Bansal story began, some faculty broke away to set up their own coaching institutes.

All these institutes do business running into crores.Each student who enrolls has to pay around Rs 80,000 per annum besides making private arrangements for lodging as the institutes don’t have offer boarding facilities.The institutes have thereby spawned big business for locals.People rent out a portion of their houses to these students who shack up in groups of two- three in a room.City restaurants, too, are happy having assured customers whose number runs into thousands on a regular basis.U NION human resource development ( HRD) minister Kapil Sibal’s alleged proposal – to raise the IIT eligibility bar to 80- 85 per cent in Class XII from 60 per cent as of now – could ring the death knell for Kota’s institutes.But students preparing for IIT at these institutes asserted that things would remain the same until the HRD ministry or the CBSE redesigns the curriculum to align it closer to that of the IITJEE syllabus.

For as long as the two syllabi remained mutually exclusive, the ” coaching factories” would continue to thrive. Courtesy:

Is Kota best for education?

Popularly referred to as ‘the Education Hub’ of Rajasthan, Kota has gained the trust of everyone when it comes to delivering the best education. It’s no surprise that education forms an integral part of Kota’s economy.

Is Kota is really education hub?

Hemant Kumar Bhadoriya (name changed) was travelling in a chauffeur-driven sports utility vehicle on a Saturday afternoon in Kota, seemingly headed to Jaipur, where people typically go on weekend getaways. Unlike the others, though, Bhadoriya was not out on a leisure drive.

Neither was he actually going to Jaipur. He was, in fact, just sitting in the car and talking about money. Crores of rupees. Bhadoriya is not a lawyer or an investment banker. Neither does he deal in illegal activities. He is a maths teacher at Kota’s top coaching centre and was negotiating with a potential employer, one of the country’s biggest edtech companies.

The edtech startup had offered him a 40 percent hike on his existing salary of Rs 1.65 crore. “At first, I was shocked and a bit sceptical when I heard about the offer as every day we have been reading about how hundreds of employees were getting laid off by startups,” said Bhadoriya, 46.

But then it was for their offline classes and I have been teaching all my life at offline classes here at Kota. So I said let’s take a chance. To be honest, the hike I was offered was very attractive.” Bhadoriya’s story rings a bell with many educators from Kota who have been offered hefty hikes over the past few months by new-age edtech companies that have opened offline coaching centres in the city.

The aggressive poaching at Kota for offline classes is taking place as online edtech companies lay off hundreds of educators elsewhere in the country, indicating that demand for offline education is rising again, especially in education hubs like Kota.

Everyone loves Kota Kota, a city with a population of over 1 million in eastern Rajasthan about 500 km south of New Delhi, is known for tuition centres notoriously called ‘coaching factories’ that churn out hundreds of successful aspirants for the Indian Institutes of Technology every year. These education centres provide direct or indirect livelihood to over 200,000 people in the city.

Kota has about 3,500 hostels and 22,000 paying guest accommodation centres where students stay, according to people from the city who spoke to Moneycontrol, The story of Kota was intriguing enough to entice Netflix in 2019, just before the pandemic, to do a show that captures the ‘24/7 pressure cooker situation’ of the city.

  • One of the show’s producers described Kota as a city where the people talk only about studies.
  • Ota’s economics and emotions are only about studies,” said Shreyash Pandey, associate producer of the show called Kota Factory,
  • It all started in the mid-1980s, when engineers of Kota started their own tuition centres.

Subsequently, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, a few students cleared the IIT entrance examinations, which motivated many educators to expand their coaching classes. The Bansals of Bansal Classes and the Maheshwaris of Allen Career Institute were among the first to broaden the scope of their coaching centres.

Moneycontrol reported how the four Maheshwari brothers built Allen Career Institute from a grand total of eight students studying at their home 34 years ago to an institution that has hundreds of IITians on its rolls. The company recently raised $600 million (about Rs 4,500 crore) from James Murdoch’s Bodhi Tree Systems, and also made forays into online teaching,

According to a report by India Today, the turning point for Kota’s coaching classes was when the first student from the city cleared the IIT entrance exam in 1985. Many educators who taught at these coaching institutes then started their own tuition centres.

In the following years, the coaching centres went on to do crores of rupees of business and the city started creating opportunities for educators worth millions of dollars. On an average, a student in Kota pays up to Rs 2.5 lakh. About 150,000 students are admitted to the Kota coaching centres annually.

Going by these estiamates, the coaching centers of Kota have a market size of as much as $500 million or about Rs 3,800 crore. Kota’s tuition centres were among the first in the country to set up special arrangements for IIT aspirants, tying up with local secondary schools for class 12 board exams.

The students were told to concentrate more on the IIT entrance exam and not to worry about attending class 12 lectures. The model was then adopted by many coaching institutes in the country. The pandemic The pandemic changed everything for Kota. The city that once bustled with young IIT and medical college aspirants now had empty streets.

Educators, coaching centre owners, and students, among others, were staring at absolute uncertainty after the government announced a nationwide lockdown in March 2020 to curb the spread of COVID-19. “Right from small eateries to paying guest accommodation centres, it felt as though everyone was jobless suddenly.

The coaching institutes, which were full of thousands of students, were looking like graveyards and we really didn’t know what to do next,” said an educator working with the management of a top institute in Kota. “We had thousands, maybe lakhs, of livelihoods at stake and the shift to online education was looking real.” All the coaching institutes scrambled to find solutions.

“But everyone knew that once the pandemic receded, the people would come back to offline education and Kota would again become hot as it has always been because of the weather and the competition,” the educator added. The educator has a point. Kota seems to have become ‘hot’ again because of competition.

  1. But this time, the competition between education companies is more fierce than the rivalry among students as edtech startups aggressively look to poach educators like Bhadoriya.
  2. Coaching centres have become more like poaching centres,” said another educator based in Kota, requesting anonymity.
  3. And not just teachers, even students are being poached by offering them more lectures and content for cheaper packages.

This has just started. We will see the edtech companies and the traditional coaching classes doing various things to attract students and educators.” The educator’s comments come after Unacademy and PhysicsWallah, two well-funded online education unicorns, opened physical tuition centres in Kota.

  • While it is a shift in strategy for both companies that were built on the model of online teaching, they expect offline and hybrid models to help them grow faster.
  • For Unacademy, growth in the medical and IIT entrance exam preparation segment wouldn’t have been possible without going offline,” said one person familiar with the startup’s plans, requesting anonymity.

“The team discussed it internally and thought making offline forays would be right at this time and Kota was the place to be for this as it is such an important hub for test preparations.” Market share fears The entry of the new-age edtech companies has threatened the dominance of incumbent coaching centres of Kota, which are concerned about losing market share.

“What they (traditional coaching institutes) fear is that companies like Unacademy, which have millions of dollars in their bank, will disrupt Kota totally with cheaper packages, better educators and most importantly, with hundred times better tech infrastructure,” said a former professor of IIT who has taught in Kota.

Most coaching centres in Kota conduct no-frills classes, offering nothing more than star educators to lure students. According to the educators Moneycontrol spoke to, the content provided in these classes is very good and comprehensive but it’s not digital.

  • The pandemic made digital learning a habit for most and students may not be comfortable with books again, educators said.
  • I can just do a CTRL+F on digital content and go to the chapter that I am looking for,” said a student.
  • It just becomes easier to skim through it on a laptop or mobile instead of going through hundreds of pages.

It also saves time.” Many coaching centres in the city also do not have biometric attendance, smart boards, projectors and other digital infrastructure facilities that edtech companies provide. One educator said students aged 14-17 find these things attractive and thus they may choose to go to these classes.

  1. I genuinely believe that companies like PhysicsWallah and Unacademy will attract more students, at least in the near-term, simply because their classes will look a lot more ‘cooler’ and this was missing in Kota.
  2. Other coaching classes, which have money in the bank, might add these things, but it will take time because they have never done it,” the professor said.

According to the professor, it won’t be easy for existing coaching centres to retain their market share. Allen vs Unacademy The fear of losing market share and the aggressive poaching have led to a full-blown rivalry between new-age edtech companies and incumbent coaching classes.

  • One such rivalry is Allen vs Unacademy.
  • Unacademy, which opened its first offline centre in Kota in mid-June, is looking to open another centre in the city and claims demand for its classes is strong.
  • However, Unacademy’s journey in Kota hasn’t been smooth, according to people aware of the matter, who said it faced multiple issues, including direct and indirect threats allegedly from some people at Allen Career Institute after the SoftBank-backed unicorn poached 30-40 educators from Allen.

Brajesh Maheshwari, one of the four founders of Allen, warned educators who left recently that they would be blacklisted. In an internal video shared with educators on June 10, Maheshwari said ” Aaj se sharafat ki duniya khatam, jaisi duniya waise hum, ” which translates to: from today, the world of decency ends, we will behave the way the world behaves.

  • Brajesh Maheshwari’s video warning educators.
  • A day later, a few hours before the launch of Unacademy’s offline tuition centre in Kota, the startup sought police protection for its employees and educators who were paranoid about Maheshwari’s alleged threats, according to people aware of the matter.
  • The educators especially were worried because of the reputation of the Maheshwaris.

Rajesh Maheshwari, the oldest of the brothers, claimed in a YouTube video a few years ago to be the ‘don’ of the coaching industry. “If you wear an Unacademy t-shirt in Kota, you will see people following you,” said one person involved with Unacademy’s management team at Kota.

“Obviously, there are no cases where someone actually hurt any of our educators. But the constant following, especially to hotels, restaurants and in some cases, to their houses, has created fear among the educators.” Virtual threats Some threats were virtual. The names of educators poached from Allen by Unacademy were made public via YouTube videos and some were circulated privately through messaging applications in Kota.

The videos mentioned how in the past, teachers who left Allen couldn’t survive in Kota without Allen as Kota enjoyed a monopoly in the IIT entrance exam category. One video that went viral on YouTube had an anecdote about an educator who left Allen a few years ago to start his own centre in Kota and was supposedly killed by his landlord after failing to pay the rent.

Allen’s faculty left Allen and join Unacademy “These are all tactics to just remotely threaten educators as Allen is scared about losing its monopoly in Kota,” said another person working with Unacademy’s management in Kota. “But to be honest, we all are a bit concerned and we have taken steps to allay the fears of the educators and some of our employees.” According to this person, Unacademy opened bank accounts for its educators in nearby cities, and not in Kota, after many of them asked the company to do so amid alleged threats from Allen.

Unacademy executives who visited Kota for the launch of the offline centre stayed at educators’ houses after they noticed they were being followed to their hotels. Allen then allegedly sent ‘bouncers’ near these educators’ houses. “Random people were roaming around educators’ houses suddenly and then someone complained about it on WhatsApp initially and then the police came,” said one person.

  • Under pressure Many educators who decided to join Unacademy were made to wait for four-five hours during their exit interviews at Allen.
  • They were then asked to call Unacademy and reject its offer, which also put pressure on them, the people claimed.
  • Moreover, Allen’s ‘unofficial people’ were present at the hotel where Unacademy had scheduled educator recruitment interviews.

“The same people were sitting in the same cafeteria every day where Unacademy was conducting interviews,” said one person. “Were they doing anything? No. But it was just a way of putting pressure on the educators to show them that Allen is watching them.” The person added that some negotiations with educators thus happened in cars on highways as educators were scared about people following them.

On an average, Allen’s educators across streams get Rs 1.15 crore a year. Unacademy offered a 35-40 percent hike to the educators, according to people aware of the matter. Just before the official launch of Unacademy’s coaching centre, the company had scheduled an event for the educators to pose in Unacademy t-shirts.

But the event, which was planned at a public ground, was cancelled because the educators were scared, according to one person. Unacademy executives who travelled to Kota for due diligence were also bothered by the local police, people aware of the matter alleged.

Their cars were stopped and everything from their bags to the car tyres were checked by the police who said they had been tipped off about people carrying huge amounts of cash and certain illegal material. Allen declined to comment on the matter. Unacademy did not respond to an email query from Moneycontrol,

Beyond Kota The focus on offline coaching centres isn’t limited to Kota. As the pandemic recedes, demand for online learning offered by startups has also eased, prompting their ventures into offline coaching. “It’s not only in Kota – there are at least four to five such hubs in India.

  1. And this is not the case with just Allen.
  2. Institutes at other hubs that enjoy a monopoly also do things like this,” a student from Kota told Moneycontrol,
  3. Back in the day, these people used to threaten students by telling them that they won’t achieve a good rank, but the students started realising that wasn’t quite the case.

That’s when they started going after the educators.” The fight for a larger share in the offline education space comes as demand for online and remote educational services is falling, thanks to the pandemic situation normalising in most parts of the country.

  • Moneycontrol had reported how India’s edtech companies were struggling after the pandemic,
  • To be sure, India’s online edtech companies had two consecutive years of hypergrowth since the start of the pandemic in March 2020.
  • Investors bet heavily on online education, which was in huge demand since the start of the pandemic, after millions of students were locked indoors.

According to data from Tracxn Technologies, edtech companies in India received $9.5 billion in funding over the past two years, with six companies joining the coveted club of unicorns – startups valued at over $1 billion. This year, however, funding to the sector has slowed and companies such as Unacademy and PhysicsWallah are entering the offline segment by opening centres in some of the country’s famous education hubs including Kota.

Are Kota students successful?

Out of the total number of students who made it to the IITs last year, nearly 2,500 of the selected ones were coached in Kota, which makes the success rate of Kota a double-digit 10% as against the national success rate of just about – Out of the total number of students who made it to the IITs last year, nearly 2,500 of the selected ones were coached in Kota, which makes the success rate of Kota a double-digit 10% as against the national success rate of just about 3%.

There is a very interesting anecdote about the emergence of Kota as the education destination of the country. In the late 80s, J K Synthetics Manufacturing plant, largely the lifeline of the city, and a major employment-provider, announced a lockout of its factory, owing to problems. It brought the township to a grinding halt, with no other employment alternatives as Kota in Rajasthan was neither a manufacturing hub, nor a tourist destination.

Necessity, as they say is the mother of invention and some enterprising locals decided that teaching, specifically coaching for competitive exams like IIT could be a good source of earning a living. One of them was V K Bansal, an engineer, who was also working at J K Synthetics but around the same time had been diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, a disease that effected his physical movement, but it did not impede the sharpness of his mind.

With limited options to choose from, he took up teaching, at the residential colony that housed all JK employees. It was a small beginning, but in no time the success stories of students under his tutelage created the buzz. Thus, Bansal Classes was formally born in 1991, a pioneer brand that has made Kota what it is today — the highest producer of IIT successes from a single city.

“We consciously stay away from mega-spends on advertising and marketing. Our students do our marketing,” says Bansal. Bansal’s success spawned a slew of other coaching classes, Career Point, Resonance, Allen’s, Vibrant to name a few. And interestingly most of them were started by people who have been associated at some time with Bansal Classes.

  • As the number of institutes multiply, brand differentiation is becoming important.
  • We deploy print, outdoors and are also trying to create online buzz through search engine optimization and social media.
  • We also do below-the-line in a large way through school seminars, events and ground events,” says Manoj Sharma, VP-operations & business development, Resonance Eduventures.

Resonance recently received a PE infusion through Milestone-Religare and is looking at an IPO in the near future, says Sharma. Today, nearly 80,000 students at Kota have created an eco-system that supports an entire city. It’s not only the coaching classes, but ancillaries like accommodation, canteens, cybercafés, stationery shops etc., that earn revenues from students.

On an average, each student spends Rs 1.25 lakh every year, out of which 40% goes to the coaching classes. The rest goes into the local economy. Kota’s skyline today has brands, multiplexes and malls, all frequented by the student community. Gaurav Gupta, management trainee, training with the ITC group in Kota says the city has the largest sales for their stationery division in Rajasthan.

Wal-Mart has opened its fourth best-price brand outlet in Kota, the first outlet outside of Punjab, where it has three outlets. Good education sure pays in the long run. Kota is the best example. Download The Economic Times News App to get Daily Market Updates & Live Business News.

Who is the present king of Kota?

Brijraj Bhawan Palace Hotel Brijraj Bhawan was built in 1830 by the East India Company (financed by Kotah state) for the British Political Agent to live in and was hence called the Agency Bungalow. The initial structure was smaller than what the building is today, and is primarily where the royal family resides currently.

In 1900, the seat of the Political Agent shifted to Bharatpur, and the building was taken over by the Kotah State. It became the State Guest House and was renamed Raj Bhawan, where all VIP guests were put up. Lord Curzon was the first VIP to stay here in 1902. After him the other Viceroys to who stayed here were Lord Reading and Lord Willingdon.

Her Majesty Queen Mary of Great Britain came and stayed here in December 1911. She observed Christmas here, complete with a Christmas tree and gave away presents to children – including young Maharaj Kumar Bhim Singh (the last ruler of Kotah), who was then 2 years old.

Many other distinguished guests along with Rulers of Indian States have stayed here. In 1909, an entire new wing facing the river was added. This forms the bulk of the hotel section today. The present Maharao of Kotah, Brijraj Singh, was given the building by his father when he came of age in 1956, and it was renamed Brijraj Bhawan.

He started living here with his family and opened it as a hotel in 1964.
