The Growth of Coaching Institutes in India

Coaching is the act of giving special classes in sports, in a school subject or a work-related activity, especially to one person or a small group.

Generally, we see a pattern in the type of coaching industry thriving in a particular region. In developed nations, coaching institutes for academia is not that popular as it is in India. One reason for this is the better qualities of education in the developed countries are sufficient to cater to the academic needs of the students which is not the case in India. Another reason for this is the rising demand for the limited number of seats in India’s elite colleges like IITs and AIIMS which have led to the exponential growth of coaching institutes in India.

Coaching Industry in India

The share of the education sector in India was 91.7 Billion USD in 2018, which has risen to 117 Billion USD in 2020 and continues to expand. The coaching industry alone contributes approximately 3.5 billion USD to this, which is huge considering there are various types of educational institutes in the country including schools, colleges etc.

Most parents understand the crucial role of coaching in their children’s future. They feel that it helps their children in solidifying their knowledge which is not possible by schools alone. Coaching institutions also enhance the conceptual learning of the students which is very crucial for their selection to prestigious institutes like IITs, AIIMS or IIMs. It is the trust of parents who are willing to pay exorbitant amounts of fees for their child’s education, coaching institution as an industry is witnessing massive expansion.

It is a dream for many of the students to get into any of these coaching institutes while preparing for the exam as they have a good reputation in the education market for the selection of a particular kind of exam. Students often find them as a more secure choice compared to the other options out there.

Growth of Indian Coaching Institutes

As per the reports from IBEF, India is the second-largest market for e-learning after the US. Since digitalisation is growing and reaching every nook and corner of the country, the e-learning market is expected to get even stronger in the coming years. The e-learning sector is expected to reach US$ 1.96 billion by 2021 with around 9.5 million users. Thus, coaching industry is projected to grow in the near future as well.

While the coaching institutes are growing, their reach is limited only to bigger cities as of now. The greater part of these classes are running in metro cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Chennai which are favoured for common administrations, law, and chartered accountant examinations. On the other hand, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Kota, and Pune are favourable destinations for engineering and management exams.

Another thing to notice is that a significant number of the best educators of presumed schools and universities have found employment elsewhere and taken up private training; the straightforward explanation being that the monthly payments of a good mentor is higher than a school teacher. Consequently, we find that mentors in coaching institutes are the best in their work, which is a benefactor in growth of these institutes.

Private mentors charge anything between INR 500 to INR 4,000 every hour for each student depending upon the cities and the subjects, which for multiple educational subjects costs between INR 1,000 to INR 6,000 every month to a student. Thus, there is a very huge earning potential for private tutors.
