This thing with IIT coaching...

My sister just finished her class Xth exams and given the uncertainity involved in my dad's transfer to hyderabad, she came here all the way from Chennai, in the middle of a much deserved summer break, to give a battery of entrance exams. To where you ask? Well, these are for getting admission to the coaching classes which guide you for the IIT Joint Entrance Exam. Now there are coaching classes for these entrance exams to the coaching centers for IIT entrance too. and some foundation courses right upto class V. Amazing isn't it? There is so much fucking money in Education as long as the great Indian middle class in all its stupidity wants to get all its children into these elite institutions. and all that for what? Greed. Pure greed. An IIT seat is a ticket to success. Success here being determined by how much you earn post that.

And it doesnt stop there. The IMSes, TIMEs and CareerForums of the world have shown how much money there is to be made in MBA entrances. With the no. of students taking these exams swelling nicely year on year, I think it is high time to step in and share some of the exploits. After all, we are greedy too. With the no. of international schools, engg. and medical colleges and management institutions growing exponentially, may be, I can have a couple of those for myself and take a vacation off in the Carribean with the donation money. Man! I am turning ambitious here :D

unfortunately success is defined tht way. but one shud understand tht success is more abt job satisfaction than anything else. i think we have all seen that.

it's a result of just too many people chasing too few colleges...in our country we have millions of school students graduating every year...and just a handful of distinguished colleges in each field....result being hyper inflated entrance requirements...and an incredible amount of prssure on the young

my sister's joined TIME classes for CAT now.....and the price has doubled (9k to 18k) in just 4 yrs....thr's a lot of money to be made out thr :)
