The way I see it, the coaching institutes are a farce. Of all the IIM / IIT people that I know, no one made it thorugh because of coaching. If you are so keen on throwing your folks hard(ly) earned money - be my guest. The current quota controversy is another license for political profligacy - Dr.Singh our esteemed prime minister is himself cambridge educated and a bureaucrat to the boot - one cannot expect anything from such an ivory tower thinker. As for the likes of Arjun singh - his education is at best incomplete. I happened to meet a couple of youngsters in the UK who were there ostensibly for education and their profile was remarkable: Kids of politicians with little or no interest in studies (and not very bright either). Hence QED.
