-by Dr. AK Rana Kota, known as India\u2019s coaching hub,<\/strong> has been a stepping stone for thousands of engineers and doctors. Yet, in recent years, it has faced severe criticism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People blame the city for student stress, suicides, and commercialization of education. But is Kota really the culprit?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Absolutely not!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not writing this for headlines or to chase views and followers. Unlike many influencers in India who don\u2019t even know the \u201cA\u201d of education yet have the audacity to speak on it, I am here to talk facts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, I heard someone say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“I don\u2019t understand why parents send their kids to Kota. How could they be so cruel?”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A shallow statement from someone trying to get a little limelight on their account. And they are not alone. The media says whatever they want\u2014because it\u2019s their liberty. But let\u2019s not ignore one harsh truth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Negativity sells in this country.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

People don\u2019t unite to celebrate something, but they will readily hold hands to criticize it. Hate spreads faster than appreciation. But before jumping on the hate bandwagon, let\u2019s analyze the real reasons behind student struggles in Kota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kota\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Real Reasons behind Students Struggle in Kota<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. The Self-Blame Trap<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A student is sent to Kota, filled with dreams and ambition. But soon, they find themselves struggling to keep up. They feel lost in the race, get nervous, and look for ways to escape\u2014sometimes in ways they shouldn\u2019t. They waste time, procrastinate, and when exams approach, regret sets in. The realization of wasted time and money hits hard, leading some to take a devastating step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Parental Pressure & Comparison<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A student works hard but still lags behind. Instead of support, they face comparison. Parents, eager to boast about ranks at kitty parties or among relatives, pressure their child even more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Look at Sharma ji\u2019s son\u2014he scored better than you!” they say. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In this constant race to prove themselves, the student loses self-confidence and motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The Burden of Expectations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many students in Kota aren\u2019t just studying\u2014they\u2019re carrying their family\u2019s entire future on their shoulders. Their parents constantly remind them of the sacrifices made for their education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“We have invested so much in you\u2014don\u2019t let it go to waste!” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The child is not only preparing for exams but also fighting an invisible battle of guilt and pressure. Eventually, the burden becomes too heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. The \u2018No Happiness Allowed\u2019 Rule<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students are told to forget hobbies, friendships, and even mental well-being for these two years. Parents demand a 24\u00d77 study schedule, believing that one slip means lifelong failure. The child is repeatedly told:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Your future depends on these two years. If you fail, there\u2019s nothing left in life.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Day by day, their happiness fades. And when happiness disappears, darkness takes over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Forced Dreams & No Plan B<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not every student in Kota dreams of becoming an engineer or doctor. Some are there only because their parents forced them into it. They spend years preparing, failing, and repeating the cycle, while their families refuse to acknowledge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“It\u2019s okay to take another path.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For some, this realization comes too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Who\u2019s Really to Blame?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, all these students were in Kota. But does that make Kota responsible?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By that logic, should we blame every school where a student fails? Should we blame every workplace where an employee struggles? Kota is not the villain\u2014it is a city of knowledge and dreams.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This city has given the country some of its best doctors and engineers. It has nurtured brilliance. Yes, the competition is tough, but no race is won without effort. Even if the whole universe supports you, you must still do the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

And yet, the students who make it\u2014who achieve success\u2014rarely stand up for Kota. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because they associate it with struggle. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They want to erase those years from their memory. They felt suffocated, and when they finally left, they felt free. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in forgetting the pain, they also forget the importance of that struggle.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Commercialization of Knowledge Argument\u2014Is It Even Valid?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some people argue that education in Kota has become a business. To them, I ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there a single profession in this world where people don\u2019t earn money?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Doctors, engineers, artists, business owners\u2014everyone works to make a living. Should we stop using Amazon, Myntra, or Flipkart because they are businesses?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Knowledge is valuable, and coaching institutes provide guidance, discipline, and resources. The problem is not commercialization\u2014it\u2019s the mindset that turns education into a burden rather than an opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kota does not promise success; it provides the tools to work toward it. What students and parents do with those tools is up to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Real Solution: Better Guidance, Not Blame Kota<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rather than blaming Kota, let\u2019s focus on what truly matters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents:<\/strong> Instead of comparing ranks, hug your child. Encourage them. Let them know they matter more than any exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students<\/strong>: It\u2019s okay to struggle. You are not in a race against others\u2014only against your past self. Progress matters more than perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media & Influencers:<\/strong> Stop sensationalizing struggles for views. Share the full picture, not just the dark side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kota is not the problem. It is a city filled with students laughing, studying, and chasing their dreams. Instead of tearing it down, let\u2019s support those who come here to learn.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Next time you see someone blaming Kota, speak up. Because knowledge deserves respect.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
