Educational Statistics of Kota

EDUCATION – A TALE OF KOTAOut 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%

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.
