Kota’s local economy has also suffered with the proliferation of online
education platforms. Pankaj Sharma, an expert on the Coaching Industry, said ,
“ Online Modules are available at roughly a third of the traditional classroom
sessions. Besides, there is no extra cost on accommodation and food “

from new coaching hubs like Sikar and Jaipur…. Students from Sikar’s centres
were among the best performers in NEET 2024
