Entrance Exams In India
India is a country that as per statistics churns out
the maximum number of graduates every year. Does a
simple graduation degree promise you a well paying
job? Probably not, in fact most students try to seek
entrance in colleges that offer professional
courses. Engineering and medicine are the preferred
choices and after that follows MBA, CA etc. Some
people also like to offer law courses often at the
post- graduate level. Most students who want to join
a course in Engineering or medicine want to join
premier institutes in India. So they start preparing
for entrance examinations conducted by various
institutes like IIT JEE or CAT. Coaching classes run
at local and national levels to train students to
crack these competitive Examinations.
Some of the sought after premier institutes are IIT
for engineering students; AIIMS and AFMC for medical
students and IIM for management students. Students
who appear for engineering entrance exam like IIT
JEE do so after their higher secondary exams. For
Medical entrance exam to get admission in AIIMS,
AFMC and various other government run or private
medical institutions students appear for competitive
exams. After graduation many students seek white
collar jobs in the corporate sector so they prepare
for exams like CAT to crack the management entrance
exam for IIM a premier management institute in
India. After completing a course from these
institutes it is expected that the students would
get the best and the highest paying jobs in
multi-nationals. Some people also do courses in law
to enhance their career prospects; they appear for
law entrance exam to get admission in premier law
institutions.
Coaching classes or institutions step in as the
number of seats is limited and the number of
students who appear for these posts is more. They
cash in on the opportunity generated by the fact
that all want to qualify. This becomes a very
lucrative profession as parents are ready to pay any
amount to ensure their son or daughter’s entrance
into these institutions. The secret to success if
these institutions are that they do focused study.
They do not waste time in making students go through
the whole course rather they focus on cracking the
examination paper. They teach students strategies of
focused study and make them solve several question
papers. Due to their focused approach the success
rate of these institutions is very high. Once the
students have qualified for these exams they seek
the top courses within the institution, e.g.
students who top in the IIT can choose electronic
engineering or computer sciences, so the competition
is not just about clearing these entrance
examinations but also about opting for the best
courses.
