Today when a student thinks of his carrier in the field of engineering, he suddenly develops a dream of becoming an IIT Engineer. It was foretold that by some of my elders that for getting admission in IIT’s you really need to be intelligent. But with new complete fee structure and government policy of caste discrimination this proverb is loosing its value.
If today young aspirants will ask me about the admission in IIT’s, I will simply reply him back that you require two things for becoming an IIT Engineer.
1. 1. You should have a real conceptual mind (or you can develop them in new trends higher secondary school i.e. deemed Coaching Institutes).
Today when any student starts his preparation for JEE, the most important step is
· Selection of Coaching
Due to recent change in the examination pattern of JEE, it has become important even for a real intelligent person to join coaching for JEE. These new higher secondary schools of India are the real makers of IITian. Without these a person can’t think of becoming an IITian.
Now, if we take a look over the fees taken by these reputed schools for providing their valuable efforts to make the future of your children, you will come to know the importance of these institutes for your child.
There are basically two modes of joining a coaching institute. Either you can go to hub cities of coaching institutes like KOTA, DELHI etc, or you can do preparation in your home with a less popular coaching institute and a correspondence of any hot shot coaching.
Plan A: - Preparation in HUB CITIES
| EASONS | FEES |
| Coaching tuition fee | Rs. 40,000/- per annum |
| Housing charge | Rs. 2000/- per month |
| Mess charge | Rs. 1500/- per month |
| Stationary charges | Rs. 700/- per month |
| Other charges | Rs.1200/- per month |
Plan B: - Preparation in your own city
| REASONS | FEES |
| Coaching tuition fees | Rs. 35,000/- per annum |
| Stationary charges | Rs. 700/- per month |
| Correspondence material charges | Rs. 12,000/- per annum |
Plan A, Total expenditure in two years: - Rs. 1, 44,480.
Plan B, Total expenditure in two years: - Rs. 1, 02, 400.
Now even after this there is no surety that your child is going to get selection in any of the IIT’s with any shit branch. So, there is a trend of wasting one important year of your life which is called as a drop in these new Higher Secondary School. Even if you have got something in other good colleges like NIT’s etc. they will force you to waste one year to get admission in IIT’s.
I don’t want anyone to not get selected in these IIT’s in the first attempt of JEE , after two year of comprehensive study in these Institutes, but since due to great population of India as the percentage of selection is only 2% . So, around 40% of the student who don’t get select in there fresh year, take drop and again start cramming for JEE. As with new pattern of JEE, the importance of cramming is more than the mere intelligence of a candidate.
Now you have chased your dream and you have got admission in prestigious IIT’s, but your father’s pocket is going to suffer a lot . Now, here is the fees structure of an IIT (Revised one which came into effect in current year 2008-09)
INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BOMBAY
Fees for B.Tech/DD/ 5-Yr M.Sc. students admitted during the academic year 2008-09
Now this is fees payable for one semester in IIT Bombay and the mess charges are not included in this as it depends on the intake of a child. Mess advance normally comes as 15,000/- per semester . So, if we add up the fees of one year excluding the refundable fees and the fees that is being charge annually.
Total = Rs. 1,02,752 (for GN/OBC) , Rs. 52,752 (for SC/ST)
Now total cost for making your child an IITian if your child clears JEE in his first attempt would be around = (1, 44,480 + 4*1,02,352) = Rs. 5,53,888 /-
So, now it would be quite sure for you all that for becoming an IITian your child should have brain and you should also have money which is really a turning point in your child’s selection in JEE and for the dream of your child to become an IITian.
