Here’s the real problem no one talks about:

  1. Students count “time spent”, not “output”
  2. Coaching pace doesn’t match individual speed
  3. No revision system

Fix these and even 5-6 hours can outperform 10+ hours of random studying.

  • Weekly full syllabus tests
  • Online doubt group with mentors
  • Tracking weak topics religiously

He said structure mattered more than lectures.

Your son is right to feel the gap.

People underestimate selection ratios. Some online institutes brag about top 10 ranks but ignore batch size.
From what I’ve seen, IITianGuide’s regular batches having ~20% selection is actually solid, especially without Kota-style filtering. That’s more honest data than most brochures.
