With the ongoing trend of tempting and misleading the students and their parents through equivocal gimmicks, the ubiquitous coaching Institutions, today, have occupied the every possible and accessible space in the narrow streets of our thronged society. Sticking, pinning and putting up the billboards, impersonating themselves as the top ranking institutions in specialized exams, the institutes are mesmerizing or must be said hypnotizing the students who are desperately looking for a superior and finer institute to advance their capabilities to get or remain in the topmost students. The promotional activities, which have to be staunchly restricted, are running rampant due to cutthroat competition among the Institutions that leads the ultimate money-oriented and commercialization of the most precious and respectable profession, which, instead, should be kept away from all temptative and profit making activities.
True, with passage of time, Educational criteria should be advanced, but that too without compromising its soul and concept of being spreaded. But, undeservedly, it has, now, appeared out to be the cash cow for educational traders and, most probably, has taken a shape of an industry without regulations. With the educational traders exploiting the credibility of the most pious profession that has changed it into a mere supply and demand cycle. The most unfortunate part is, the people, who are engaged in changing the educational sector into the business, are mostly the intellectuals who have forgotten the significance of education in shaping the future of upcoming generation and power of building virtuous society or nation under the hypocrisy of capitalism, and those intellectuals should keep that in mind that the profession of teaching should never be commoditized just for profit maximization.
Some instances of frauds by leading coaching institutes have been reported and some institutes even questioned by government regulating bodies or agencies for the frauds like naming the same candidates, who have successfully cleared a competitive exam, by various coaching institutes for their advertising. There are also some incidents of the successful students, who bring the laurels to their families without any professional help of any institute, are lured by these institutes with money to give their name for advertisement. The most unfortunate is that some of the bright students even surrender against the amount they are offered which encourages those educational traders to recur these practices.
Through inadequate and inaccurate regulating guidelines and false and promises of clinching the top rankings, the students are pushed to pursue certain specific subjects or streams which only make them sheep that follow the herd. The regulating bodies should be entitled to tackle these restrictive practices among the coaching institutions more strictly. There should be think-tank to monitor their spurious and fake advertising and unregulated fee hikes which is the most distressing for the middle and lower class parents who may not afford those facilities for their children. Parents, too, should understand the bitter fact that mere attractive advertising, and striking and fascinating infrastructure does not make an institute more successful and provide a better environment for their children to study.
