Kota retains its charm as "MECCA" for IIT JEE aspirants



Kota known for coaching hubs has lived up to its name as three students including national topper Chitraang Murdia making it to the first 10 the just announced IIT-JEE results. 

Apart from Murdia (Udaipur), Govind Lahoti and Amey Gupta bagged second and eight positions. Kota city has produced a national topper after a gap of five years. 

The multi-million dollar coaching industry in Kota is a performance based sector and flow of students depends upon the overall success stories from here. So far, reports from different coaching centres in Kota said the city has a lion share in the number of successful students with over 7000 selections and counting against the total of 27,151 selections for 9500 seats in IITs. 

 Murdia bagged the first position with a score of 334 out of 360. "My intensive and exhaustive traveling between Udaipur and Kota certainly paid-off," he said. Govind Lahoti from Indore missed the second slot by one mark in the math section. His score of 322 was equal to the all India second rank holder. 

Kota based Allen Coaching Institute has 8 selections in the top 100 including national topper Murdia, Lahoti (3rd), Gupta (8th) and Kushal Bhabel from Udaipur who bagged 27th position nationally. 

Brijesh Maheshwari, director of Allen Coaching Institute, said that change in the pattern for JEE with 40% weightage taken from Class XII marks has not affected the overall results. "It's a best score for Kota's coaching industry. Our faculty members, many of whom are IITians, have proven that we can deliver excellence in coaching for IITs," he said.

Kota Topper Story: Shitikanth IIT JEE 2008 Topper

I gave JEE in 2009 and used to hear about this "topper" guy from the 2nd floor of my hostel. Topper of A1. I didn't pay too much attention. Then one day after my dinner my friends asked me if I noticed who was sitting next to me during the meal. I said no. They said it was the same guy. I didn't care much there either. I saw him for the first time in a cricket field. The lean stick-figure boy who didn't speak much. He had a ball in his hand and a single electric pole was being used as the wicket. I was fielding. I saw him bowl and all my senses absorbed after that was the clattering sound of the ball on the pole. That's when I was introduced Sitikanth. And the stories began! Once during class, V K Bansal (THE BANSAL of Bansal Classes) told us a story of when 2 weeks before JEE Sitikanth came to him, dejected and confused. Saying he had nothing to do. Bansal Sir gave him the toughest integration problems he had, thinking this should be enough to keep him a

The Most Brilliant Students of Kota Ever

Anuj Nagpal(AIR 190):  This guy was the most intelligent person I ever met. In hostel, he was one of the most fun loving guys, he only used to do the assignments of mathematics (only because it was taught to us by the director of the coaching). Though I was not in his hostel but my closest friends were in his hostel and used to tell me all the stuff they did at night. Late night chats, discussion about random things (which had no relation with JEE at all). There was a time when all feared Nagpal and used to say "Nagpal is gonna come and he is going to spoil our full night." That guy was much different from all other people I have ever met.  He got an AIR 190 only because we weren't taught inorganic chemistry, else he would have got much better rank than this.  He is AIR190 in JEEAdv 2014, AIR190(State rank 2) in JEEMain 2014, BITSAT score-398, CBSE 12th %- 97.6. Rajdeep(AIR 1700 in first attempt, AIR 1200 in second attempt):  This was the coolest guy I ever met, studie

How much You can get by Selling your IIT JEE RANK ??

Shubham Tulsiani says This is quite a common practice among institutes so I would like to address the trends too apart from the personal experiences and I'll also write on one aspect the question didn't explicitly ask  - offers  before  JEE Pre-JEE (class 12th) I had a couple of 'offers' - Some people from Akash Institute came over to my place to 'gift' me books to help me prepare for JEE. All I had to do was - guess what - yes, sign a form ! I was amazed at how insistent they were and despite me saying I didnt need the books and wouldn't sign,  they made me keep the books. They then visited / called me about 5 more times to get my signature (until I finally returned the unused books on their last visit and told my hostel guard to not allow them back). I later learnt that they had been giving these 'gifts' to some of my (well performing) batchmates in Bansal Classes too and unfortunately a lot of them had signed up too. I was also on
