"...the domination of coaching classes has been rather detrimental, as it has put the IITs out of the reach of sections of society that cannot afford high-priced coaching...": Do you mean to say that throwing money at a coaching can buy you a seat? "...Coaching classes are masterful at reverse engineering the JEE examination but, as a result, their focus is on teaching the rote art of test-taking rather than fundamentals. As a consequence, the IITs were admitting some who were selected not because of their true academic abilities and potential, but more because of their skill in 'gaming' the system...": I vehemently protest against these false allegations. One look at how students persistently pursue in Kota under the able guidance of their mentors and you will beg to disagree too. "...the new pattern will curb these tendencies and level the playing field...": Do you mean to say that the playing field is biased right now? I am afraid, you belong to those highly-ignorant species. Money can't buy you a seat, dear. All you need to do is to plan purposefully, prepare prayfully and proceed positively towards the exam hall.

actually what shaswat said is not wrong. I know many of my frendz who r trying for JEE. Coaching classes do not necessarily teach the "art of solving JEE ". Students definitely have to struggle with their concepts of phy,chem and maths.

Now the readers of rediff.com know atleast one person who has either got into IIT exclusively because of the coaching classes and not through personal merit, or is really desperate to get into IIT but has been unsuccessful thus far.
