Chapter1: INTRODUCTION

India's higher education system is the third largest in the world, next to the United
States and China. The main governing body at the tertiary level is the University Grants
Commission, which enforces its standards, advises the government, and helps coordinate
between the centre and the state. Accreditation for higher learning is overseen by 15
autonomous institutions established by the University Grants Commission (UGC).

Education is today identified among basic needs, as essential for an individual’s survival as
‘food, clothing and shelter.’ The need for education has been recognized in all parts of the
country and among all sections of society. Education brings success and success translates into
social recognition. Though we have developed well in higher education system, a limited
infrastructure facility is there in most of the educational institutions. Several coaching centres,
popularly known as tutorials or tuitions have sprung up all over the India and are a big part of
the nation’s educational system. They have come to be a mainstay and with the kind of
competition faced by students these days at every stage, coaching classes have become a very
popular parallel education system. This parallel education system supports the huge chaotic
and overburdened formal education system. Classes providing guidance on every course and
field of study are now available to students with great facilities in terms of locations, timings
and method of instruction based on their needs and wants.

Apart from the high prevalence among high school students, the study noted that 60 per cent of
primary school children receive private tutoring. In fact, of the students who were not being
tutored at all, the primary reason, according to the study, is lack of resources.

The report notes that , students living in rural India paid Rs 1,456 and those in urban India paid

Rs 2,349 each month for private coaching classes. In contrast, the poverty line in the country is
Rs 965 for urban citizens and Rs 781 for rural folk.

Chapter2: review of literature

REASONS FOR THE RISING TREND


One of the main reasons for the growth of these classes can be seen as a social domino effect.
Coaching classes, which were initially viewed as a last option to understanding course matter,
have slowly evolved into a necessity of sorts for students. As more and more students opt for
coaching classes, they also cause more and more people think that joining coaching classes is
the correct option, which set off a vicious cycle. Coaching classes and private tuitions have
slowly changed from being a luxury to a prerequisite for a good academic performance. The
result is that today as many as 83 per cent of India’s high school children juggle time around
school, extra-curricular activities, and tuitions at these coaching centres, (Asian Development
Bank, 2012)

The growing competition and increasing expectations from students across different schools of
study in India, has given rise to a steady growth in coaching classes. Classes providing
guidance on every course and field of study are now available to students with great facilities in
terms of locations, timings and method of instruction based on their needs and wants. They
have almost become parallel to the mainstream education system, rivaling schools and colleges
for student timings, attention and fees.

Parents are now feeling the obligation, both socially and practically to send their children to
coaching classes or private tuitions, primarily because of the number of other kids being sent to
them, and adding to that, is the fear that since so many kids require coaching class attention,
there might be an issue with the mainstream education being received at the school/college,
leading to further conviction, that the student requires additional coaching. According to the

45
Hindu Business Line (2013) since parents want their offsprings to get on the fast track to
prosperity they are pulling all kinds of strings to get them into the very best educational
institutions. This aspiration has spawned a shadow industry of ‘coaching classes’ as they are
known in common parlance.

It has almost become mandatory to enrol in a ‘coaching class’ these days. Students do not feel
confident about many concepts and sometimes teachers do not have adequate time to complete
the syllabus in school. Educationists believe that the Indian schooling system, which is unable
to keep up with the numbers, is the reason behind the booming coaching industry. In large
classes it is often difficult to give individual attention to students and the pressure of finishing
the portion is a source of constant tension to teachers. In the olden days parents would often
coach their children themselves, but today's parents do not have much time as both the husband
and wife have their careers. Also, it is difficult to come across studies examining the
psychological physical or intellectual repercussions. Data collected by the Joint Entrance Exam
Cell (for Engineering Colleges) based in Mumbai shows that 60% of the students who were
admitted into the seven old Indian Institutes of Technology in recent years opted for some kind
of coaching. A survey by the Associated Chamber of Commerce and Industry of India found
that 87% of primary school children and up to 95% of high school students in metropolitan
cities opt for private tuitions.

Chapter3: research and methodology

46
Research design
Mixed method research is gaining increasing acceptance in social science fields such as sociology,
nursing, health and education (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2007). For this study sequential explanatory
research design of mixed method is used. It involves a two-phase study in which the research moves
from quantitative phase to qualitative phase sequentially.

Sample and sampling technique:

Purposive sampling
In this research purposive and random sampling technique was used where samples of coaching
students and hostel owners were selected randomly. The selected sample size for the study was 400
students and 150 teachers / counselors / instructors and 25 hostel owners.

Limitations
The study was limited to the students who were pursuing coaching only for IIT, Engineering and Medical
courses in Kota. The results are dependent on methodological limitations and limitations of the tools.

Chapter4: data reduction, presentation, analysis

47
A study was conducted involving students attending different coaching institutes
selected on the criteria that the student is attending some coaching class The
responses of 300 students were collected and tabulated on a fixed response
questionnaire containing Eight (8) major dimensions as Health & Sports, Yoga &
Meditation, Study Habits, Environmental Conditions, Infrastructural Facilities,
Food Habits, SelfIdentification and, Tension & Stress. The responses on these
dimensions are given below-

Figure (3) Student Satisfaction Survey

The above data, which are obtained dimension wise, provide ideas as we see in the
above Figure (3) -

Health & Sports:

59.13% of students reported that they are actively aware about their health and the
activities like daily running, playing some physical games, practice at gymnasium
etc. which help to improve the health. Other 40.87% students were known about
the benefits from games but due to busy time schedule, they were not free to play.

Yoga & Meditation: In this study we found that 25% students were engaged in
practicing Yoga and Meditation & Surya Namaskara daily or on free time but 75%
students were spending their free time by playing games, seeing television,
listening to songs, walking, etc.

Study Habits:

48
Only 35.33% students‟ study habits were not in managed form while 64.67%
arranged their time for systematic study in coaching as well as in hostel.

Environmental Conditions:

66.50% students were found satisfied with the environmental conditions of hostel
like the place where hostel was established, ventilation, air flow system and
accordance to seasons like winter, summer and rainy season.

Infrastructure Facilities:

21% students complained about room conditions, height of roof, wardrobe, toilets,
congestion and problem of suffocation while 79% were satisfied with the
infrastructural facilities of hostels.

Food Quality:

Only 78% students were dissatisfied with the food quality of the food which was
given in hostels but a galore of students (22%) were enjoying with food.

Self-Identification:

A few students near about 47% were aware for self entity while about 53% were
ignorance about to know the self in terms of personality, attitude and capabilities.

Tension & Stress:

62% students were found in tension and stress while 38% were free from it.
Reason of tension and stress was due to tough selection procedure, family pressure,
no friend circle, no game, no music and no leisure activity to release stress and
tension.

Findings on the basis of responses of students:


1. Average number of students is satisfied with their studies, however
satisfactions with coaching is lesser.
49
2. Almost half of the students are hopeful for their success.
3. Most of the students reported about having no time for game and sports.
4. Most of the students reported a high pressure from their parents for
success.
5. Hostel facilities as reported are satisfactory only.
6. Most of the students reported having no time to watch movies.
7. A major concern is that the most of students reported that they are
attending coaching as per their parents‟ wishes.
8. Most of the students are of the opinion that sports may release the
pressure and stress.
9. Surya Namskara and other activities are needed to be encouraged.

Teacher/Counsellor/Instructor Survey

For the present study data was collected from 150 teacher/counselor/instructors
who are teaching in coaching institutions of Kota city. Only 100 questionnaires
were returned back by them. The questionnaire consists of Eight (8) dimensions as
Health & Sports, Yoga & Meditation, Study Habits, Environmental Conditions,
Infrastructural Facilities, Self-Confidence and, Tension & Stress.

Figure (4) Teacher/Counsellor/Instructor Opinion Survey

The above data, which are obtained dimension wise, are the basis of the ideas
mentioned in the above Figure (4). 49% teachers/counselor/instructors believe that
there is a little facility to maintain health and for sports activities because of lack of
time and formality for norms by coaching owners. While 51% refused for
availability of, game and health kit in coaching institution.

50
39% said yes for practicing yoga and meditation in coaching classes but
only for 30 minutes before starting the classes. Other 61% showed incapability of
practicing Yoga owing to other problems like little space, time schedule, tough
instructions by the institution owners etc.

Most of teachers 37% appreciate the timing schedule, management, study


material, etc. for better study habits of the students but 63% said it very busy and
fatiguing schedule.

88% teachers said that there are good environmental conditions and 92%
teachers shoed satisfaction towards infrastructural conditions like building, hostel,
mess, lighting, ventilation, air flow, space in classrooms, etc. A less amount of
teacher 12% for environmental conditions and 8% for infrastructural facilities were
dissatisfied in regard of these facilities.

Only 44% teachers/counselor/instructors were satisfied with the self-


confidence of the students whereas 56% were worried for the lack of self-
confidence of the coaching students. 81% teachers/counselor/instructors says that
they identify the stress among students but they are not well equipped to counter
the stress problems in terms of training and specialty, while 19% replied that they
come across the thousands of students daily so they are not able to identify the
problems of students.

Procedure of data collection

51
Chapter5: DATA INTERPRETATION

The data collection was done through primary and secondary sources. A pilot
study was carried out to get more precise insight into the various aspects of the
issue which needed to be investigated. This helped the researcher to outline the
research problem more clearly and test the main questionnaire and to modify
certain questions. Usable responses were obtained from 60 respondents with some
replacements from the original sample. We had to replace some of the
respondents due to absence or non-response. The respondents were all students of
University and the sample was limited to the city of dlehi. The Simple Random
Sampling Plan has been used for conducting the survey. Secondary data
collection sources included Research Organization Reports, Scholarly Articles,
University Publications and Newspaper Articles.

From amongst the students who have opted to enrol in coaching classes (65%), a
substantial (45%) do so because they appear for Board/University examinations
and do not wish to take any kind of risk. It is found that even if students are
confident in their ability to study by themselves, they lack the confidence in the
ability of the faculty to complete the portion on time. 30% respondents think that
tuitions will help boost their grades while almost 27% opt to join coaching classes
because they find the subject in question is difficult to study. Educational
institutions should note that 27% of the respondents cited the reason for needing
additional coaching to be an unsatisfactory level of teaching in the colleges.
When it came to the marketing strategies of coaching classes, a little less than 2 %
of students claim they were lured to join the class because of promotional offers
like discounts and packages. Coaching classes should note that perhaps trying to
spread positive word of mouth or concentrating on quality would work wonders
as opposed to offering discounts.

A sizeable 50% of the respondents claim that gaining ample practice for the
exams is one of the main advantages they perceive in joining a coaching class. It
is found that colleges are defaulting in this sphere and even the tests given by the
college are for the most part never assessed or discussed with the students with
feedback on their performance.

Coaching classes are known for giving a brief, to-the-point notes and not
wavering from the syllabus for the examination. 36.67% respondents said they
joined classes to gain access to notes that are framed strictly from the point of
view of the examinations.

30% students said that a major advantage of coaching classes is that they finish
the portion well ahead of time giving them ample time for self-practice and to
clear any doubts. It was also found through oral interviews that the faculty at the
coaching class is available to answer questions on their mobile phones throughout
the day and even till late at night the day before the exam and the same cannot be
said for college professors. Students, on the other hand would feel both awkward
and scared to phone their college faculty.

This study reveals that 40% of respondents take into account the recommendation
of the senior students while choosing a coaching class, probably because they
have experienced things first hand. Students often find mentors in senior students
and thus trust their word over that of their peers.

38.33% of the respondents felt that the faculty teaching in the coaching class is an
important factor to consider while choosing which class to join. Students also
give preference to a class which is located in close proximity to their residence or
college (28.33%) so that they don’t have to travel long distances to attend extra
coaching.

It is noticed here again that discounts and promotional offers (1%) as well as
advertisements (0%) don’t play much of a role as a deciding factor while students
choose between coaching classes.

The survey reveals that 21.67% students spend around 4 to 6 hours per week
attending coaching classes apart from the daily routine of college. While 16.67%
spend 1 to 3 hours per week attending such classes, only 5% spend greater than
12 hours in them. It is found in the survey that these students are the ones
attending classes for multiple subjects or are in the process of completing their
Chartered Accountancy examinations. Many of the students have to sacrifice
participating in extracurricular activities and festivals in college, which are an
integral part of college life.

Contrary to the popular belief that students prefer to take tuitions from the faculty
in college as there are chances of being favoured or getting some hints for the
examination questions, the majority of respondents who take coaching (28.33%)
said they would prefer not to take coaching classes from a teacher in college. 25%
were unsure about their thoughts on the same while 11.67% were positive they
would rather opt to take coaching classes from faculty members in college.
Private tuitions are very profitable for the teachers as they earn more through this
avenue than from their regular salaries. Also, they have the advantage of flexible
timings and lesser number of students. Some teachers have quit their regular job
in a college and are today running their own business of private tutoring.

It is very interesting to note the difference in responses between those who are
enrolled in private classes and those who are not. 58.33% of students (belonging
to the category of enrolled students) said that they consulted someone before
taking a decision on whether to attend coaching classes, while only 6.67% of
them said they did not. If one looks at students who are not enrolled in coaching
classes almost an equal number said they consulted or did not consult anyone
before taking a decision.

It appears that a majority (45%) of students who enrol in coaching classes,


consult the senior students, 33.33% rely on the advice of peers while

57
21.67% consult their parents and an equal number take suggestions from
their siblings. It is interesting to note though that when it comes to students
who do not enrol for extra coaching, majority of them consult seniors and
their parents before arriving at a decision. While researching on the reasons
students joins coaching classes it is found that a major reason is the
perception of the students of the unsatisfactory performance of the faculty in
college, among other things. Oral interviews revealed that this is a major
concern, even for some students who did not seek any kind of external
assistance.

results, this feeling is one of the factors indicating the popularity of coaching
classes amongst students.

The study reveals that 25% respondents spend almost INR 20000 per annum for
their coaching classes. Compared to India’s per capita income, this is a very high
amount to incur as additional expenditure. 11.67% respondents spend between
INR 50,000-80,000 on coaching classes annually. That is almost 10-15 times
higher than the per capita income of an average Indian. This shows the
tremendous sacrifice, especially middle income households are willing to make to
send their children for coaching classes.

When it comes to the service sector, word of mouth is one of the best forms of
marketing and publicity. The survey reveals that 51.66% students would
recommend coaching classes to others and this includes those students who
themselves are currently not enrolled in any coaching class. It is interesting to see
that majority of those who are currently enrolled in a coaching class would
recommend it to others while a majority of those who aren’t currently enrolled
stated they would not recommend coaching classes to other students. Almost 30%
59
students are unsure about whether they would recommend personal coaching to
others and on further questioning revealed that it is a personal choice and a
subjective decision based on the ability of the student as well as determination to
study regularly.

MARKETING STRATEGY USED AT WHIZDOM

"The marketing strategy lays out target markets and the value proposition that
will be offered based on an analysis of the best market opportunities." (Philip
Kotler & Kevin Keller, Marketing Management, Pearson, 14th Edition)
“An over-riding directional concept that sets out the planned path.” (David
Aaker and Michael K. Mills, Strategic Market Management, 2001, p. 11)
"Essentially a formula for how a business is going to compete, what its goals
should be and what policies will be needed to carry out these goals." (Michael
Porter, Competitive Strategy: Techniques for Analyzing Industries and
Competitors , NY, Free Press, 1980)
"The pattern of major objectives, purposes and goals and essential policies
and plans for achieving those goals, stated in such a way as to define what
business the company is in or is to be in. (S. Jain, Marketing Planning and
Strategy, 1993)
"An explicit guide to future behaviour.” (Henry Mintzberg, “ Crafting
Strategy,” Harvard Business Review, July–August, 1987 pp. 66–74)

61
Strategy is "reserved for actions aimed directly at altering the strengths of the
enterprise relative to that of its competitors... Perfect strategies are not called
for. What counts is... performance relative to competitors.” (Kenichi Ohmae,
The Mind of the Strategist, 1982, p. 37)
Strategy formulation is built on "the match between organisational resources
and skills and environmental opportunities and risks it faces and the purposes
it wishes to accomplish." (Dan Schendel and Charles W. Hofer, Strategy
Formulation: Analytical Concepts, South-Western, 1978, p. 11)

TYPES OF MARKETING INVOLVED AT WHIZDOM :-

Direct Marketing
Advertise and promote your products and services to customers using a range of
digital devices including computers,
smartphones, and tablets. Internet
Marketing is an essential practice in
Digital Marketing. Once a target market
has been clearly identified, it is possible
to work in conjunction with the USPS or
a professional mail carrier that knows
where your customers live. Direct
marketing can be an effective way to reach consumers right where they live at home.
While there is often a negative side to this approach (consumers don’t want to be
bothered with a flurry of mail), many smart companies execute direct marketing
well. Catalog retailer L.L. Bean, for example, created direct marketing programs that
their customers looks forward to receiving.

62
Inbound Marketing
Companies often have customers calling them for various reasons. This can present
a great opportunity to sell customers additional
products and services they currently don’t have.
When business customers call to check their
balances, the business bank Chase often takes
the opportunity to ask if they are interest in a
credit line, a 401 k plan, or a variety of other
services the bank offers.

Personalization

Personalization (broadly known as customization) consists of tailoring a service


or a product to accommodate specific individuals, sometimes tied to groups or
segments of individuals. A wide variety of organizations use personalization to
improve customer satisfaction, digital sales conversion, marketing results, branding,
and improved website metrics as well as for advertising. Personalization is a key
element in social media and recommender systems.

Cause marketing
Cause marketing is defined as a type of corporate
social responsibility, in which a company’s

63
promotional campaign has the dual
purpose of increasing profitability
while bettering society.

Guerrilla marketing
Guerrilla marketing uses multiple techniques and practices in order to establish
direct contact with the customers. One of the goals of this interaction is to cause an
emotional reaction in the clients, and the ultimate goal of marketing is to get people
to remember products or brands in a
different way than they are accustomed
to.

Relationship marketing –
Relationship marketing is a facet of
customer relationship management (CRM) that focuses on customer loyalty and
long-term customer engagement rather than shorter-term goals like customer
acquisition and individual sales. The goal of relationship marketing (or customer
relationship marketing) is to create strong, even emotional, customer connections to
a brand that can lead to ongoing
business, free word-of-mouth
promotion and information from
customers that can generate leads.

64
Database marketing-
Database marketing is a form of direct marketing using databases of customers or
potential customers to generate personalized communications in order to promote a
product or service for marketing purposes.
The method of communication can be any
addressable medium, as in direct marketing

Global marketing
Global marketing is “marketing on a
worldwide scale reconciling or taking
commercial advantage of global operational
differences, similarities and opportunities in order to meet global objectives".

Online advertising
Online advertising, also called online
marketing or Internet advertising or web
advertising, is a form of marketing and
advertising which uses the Internet to deliver
promotional marketing messages to consumers.
Many consumers find online advertising
disruptive[1] and have increasingly turned to ad blocking for a db;

When software is used to do the purchasing, it is


known as programmatic advertising.

Marketing communications

65
Marketing communications uses different marketing channels and tools
incombination: Marketing communication channels focus on any way a business
communicates a message to its desired market, or the market in general.

Time marketing

Time marketing works to create guidelines about when to introduce a product in the
marketplace or advertise to consumers.

Marketing Sherpa, the best time for a marketing team to send out an email is on
Monday near 9:00 a.m. Because most people are beginning their weeks and sifting
through their inboxes, they are more likely to give a promotional email a serious
read. Sending out the same email on a Friday afternoon, when most peoples’
thoughts are already with their weekend
plans, runs a high risk of deletion.

Strategic marketing planning

Marketing strategy involves mapping out


the company's direction for the forthcoming
planning period, whether that be three, five or
ten years. It involves undertaking a 360°
review of the firm and its operating
environment with a view to identifying new
business opportunities that the firm could
potentially leverage for competitive

66
advantage. Strategic planning may also reveal market threats that the firm may need
to consider for long-term sustainability. Strategic planning makes no assumptions
about the firm continuing to offer the same products to the same customers into the
future. Instead, it is concerned with identifying the business opportunities that are
likely to be successful and evaluates the firm's capacity to leverage such
opportunities. It seeks to identify the strategic gap; that is the difference between
where a firm is currently situated (the strategic reality or inadvertent strategy) and
where it should be situated for sustainable, long-term growth (the strategic intent or
deliberate strategy).

Strategic planning seeks to address three deceptively simple questions, specifically:

* Where are we now? (Situation analysis)

* What business should we be in? (Vision and mission)

* How should we get there? (Strategies, plans, goals and objectives)

A fourth question may be added to the list, namely 'How do we know when we got
there?' Due to increasing need for accountability, many marketing organisations use
a variety of marketing metrics to track strategic performance, allowing for corrective
action to be taken as required. On the surface, strategic planning seeks to address
three simple questions, however, the research and analysis involved in strategic
planning is very sophisticated and requires a great deal of skill.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE STUDY

It is essential for the family to consider all factors before selecting any coaching class. If the
quality of the college faculty is satisfactory, there may not be a need to seek additional help. If
the faculty at colleges can provide the same attention and dedication by the coaching centres,
this would totally diminish the importance of these coaching centres. Students should be more
aware of the pros and cons of joining these classes, especially the tiredness factor and not rely
solely on parent or peer advice.

Students in the third year of their degrees are more conducive to joining a coaching class as this
is the year they sit for their university examinations. Coaching classes must therefore focus
more attention on these students. The pressure of the university level exams and the parental
and friends’ influence will lead more students to join coaching classes, providing the classes
with a greater number of students. The research shows consensus to a herd mentality, but not an
acceptance towards it. A greater awareness and responsibility of students could make the
picture clearer. Coaching classes should also can services to students from economically weak
backgrounds at reasonable fees. The psychological advantage of coaching classes that the
same students who would top without extra coaching now top with the help of extra coaching
needs to be conveyed to the students. Governmental regulation of these coaching classes is very
essential.

However, at the same time, traditional colleges and institutions can never be replaced as they
cater to the needs of countless students, including those enrolled in coaching classes, in ways
that extend beyond the boundaries of academics. It is heartening to note that the international
syllabus of the IB which is gradually expanding in India is eliminating the need for these
coaching ‘shops’.

CONCLUSION
The preliminary study on student’s satisfaction indicated an average level of satisfaction of
students at different coaching institutes of Kota. A relatively higher number of students reported
that they are fulfilling their parent’s wish which is a major concern. Students feel very high
pressure from parents, peers and coaching and thus study hours are longer for them and less
likely to get indulged in game and sports and recreational activities. Most of the coaching’s do
not have provision of any type of co-curricular activities or no provision of any type of
psychological counselling to overcome the stress. Sometimes coaching’s focus on only students
of their top batches to be taught by top teachers to grow their business, remaining other students
68
are not taken care of properly. Due to the growing coaching industry a trend of dummy schools
has been developed, juvenile delinquency has also been increased and as disparity between who
have and who don‟t have has been increasing. High pressure to succeed has made students a
study machine only increasing suicide rates and such tendency among students

Promotion is a wide concept after studying and analyzing the market promotion activity

the conclusion drawn is that there should be an integrated marketing communication. Only

then it will have positive impact on sales.

A good understanding of the market was accomplished outlets were spoken to and that

group consisted of a variety of people and customers. This even helped in the polishing of

communication skills, a must-have to survive and make it big in the present world. It even

gave a good understanding of behavior of channel people and customers when placed in

different situations. It was a good opportunity to work on the skill of patience, as a large

number of outlets were to be dealt with. It helped in developing the kind of relations one

needs to uphold in the corporate world and it helped in building up the right attitude.

As all the points in the above mentioned paragraph, are the must-have skills for anyone in the
field of Marketing and Sales, the training period was a good experience and a good stepping
stone into the real business world.
