#forms #study
In recent times, the education sector has seen massive growth over the span of 40 years especially in India. As the government is emphasizing the production of more government-funded institutes like IITs, NITs, AIMs and IIMs etc., coaching institutes are emerging like a mushroom providing guidance and tutions for their entrance exams. As an Indian family prospect to grow and wanted to earn more income, it was necessary for them to excel in their entrance examinations. In terms of student coaching, they have to choose between contact
study
 or contactless
study
 packages. In contact
study
 packages, most of the teaching is done through conducting classroom programs i.e. through teachers giving physical lectures in presence of
aspirants
. Meanwhile, the contactless
study
 is generally done through online
mediums
 with the teacher guiding their docents, either giving live demonstrations or publishing recorded content giving them the convenience to watch whenever they can. A recent market survey done by Catguruji, who specialises in giving guidance for CAT exams required for entry in IIMs concluded that "
aspirants
 are more inclined to online
courses
 rather than offline classroom
courses
".
Furthermore
, "most of the
aspirants
 aspiring for IIMs are from a lower middle-class background most of them are earning, prepare for the CAT exam after their daily job" he added.
Hence
, online
mediums
 can give them the option to prepare for the exams while simultaneously working alongside their daily bread. The disadvantage of the online mode might be the non-personal interaction between their guide and
aspirants
 but enrolling in
such
courses
 is costly.
Furthermore
, the cost of creating
such
courses
 accounts for the salary of the staff and establishments which is negligible in the online
mediums
. As the advantages of online
mediums
 outweigh their disadvantages,
hence
 it is popular among
aspirants
 as it gives convenience with low-cost alternatives to an offline mode of
study
.
