Choosing a coaching institute is indeed an important decision coz', it largely determines your results later in the competition you are about to face .This decison becomes even more important with many new 'coaching classes' emerging out recently specially when talking about Engineering entrance exams. Before joining any coaching class the first & foremost important point to check ( yeah, even before faculty check) is that it must not encroach into your self study time .
No matter what high quality teachers are teaching you,for a fresher it is very important to devote a fixed no of hours to her/his self study . The recent change in the IIT JEE papers are revealing this fact that even if you don't join any class but are regular in going to school, and clearing your concepts there with good amount of practice back at home of what you learnt there,with your books ensures your seat in good engineering institutes.The trend is changing and you no longer have to follow the same trend of joining coachings depositing huge fees ( if you have that confidence of not following a rat race which lacks in many of us).
So the best thing you can do b'fore joining any class is talk to some senior already having an experience with that ( remember s/he must have completed the whole course of that class you are about to join ).Advisable talk to some students who had same circumstances as yours coz' it does matter.Take complete information from them about the pros & cons of the institute.
DO NOT just believe in its success datas provided by it in its addvertisments, unfortunately but yes corruption too exists in this industry too.
Do keep in contact with your other competitors (not the same as your coaching institute) through all india mock tests so that you know where actually you are. Better always believe in your self.You must be able to check & judge if you aren't becoming a part of any rat race .Your parents are your best supporters take their help as & when required. Don't let any one waste your single minute coz' ultimately its you who will define & decide your success.
