“I still remember how much I used to love Economics during my high school. I would wake up, quickly get dressed and skip my way into the school excited for a brand-new day filled with demands, supplies and graphs. I remember the enthusiasm with which my teacher used to punctuate each sentence. I remember how fun it was to draw graphs and make analysis alongside my teacher. My teacher has magic in her words and pixie dust in her handwritten notes. The way she made every concept so simple and easy to understand was amazing. I loved Economics. Once I graduated from high school and embarked on my new journey onto a university, I remember being excited at the sight of seeing “Economics” in the time table put up. Like the school kid I once was, I skipped excitedly into my first Economics class in college. I did not know that would be the last time I joyfully skipped for an economics class for the professor was not great. That disappointing day, I realised the magic was not the subject for me, rather the person articulating it. I was in love with the teaching and techniques rather than the subject in itself.”

Now don’t get us wrong. This is just a small anonymous story we put up to show how much impact a teacher can have. To show how riveting it can be if you go to right teacher at the right time. This is the importance the person teaching has on a student. Now that we’ve established the ground work, let’s get into the main question in hand – does choosing a good coaching centre truly matter while accomplishing your dream of becoming a CA?

The answer is yes and no.

No because, at the end of the day it’s “God helps those who help themselves”. You have to put in 50% of the effort and hardwork for the other 50% to fall in place. While clearing CA Final doesn’t solely depend on the coaching institute, it doesn’t make it any less important.

So yes, it is important to choose a good coaching institute that works for you in order to feel fully invested in each subject. The teaching style and techniques can have a huge impact on how much you yearn to learn. A good professor can make the most boring of lessons seem interesting with the right teaching technique. So, it is very important you choose the right coaching institute.

We at ArivuPro hire the best lecturers to ensure our students have an immersive learning experience. Additionally, the team is always at your service to help you with anything and everything related to your personal and career goals. We don’t aim for monetary benefits while helping clear doubts or guide students in the right direction. It’s always more about learning than earning for us.

Now that we addressed the elephant in the room, let’s look at some of the aspects to consider before enrolling into a coaching institute.

• Experience: You need to check the years of experience the people behind the coaching institute has in the field. You need to know if the staff are people who themselves came through a similar journey you want to start.
• Teaching: You need to check if the professor for each subject suits your needs. Almost all educational institutes offer a trial session/demo class before making the down payment, by which you can carefully assess if it’s the best fit for you.
• Study Materials: Assess if the coaching institute provides the students with ample amount of extra study materials over and above the ICAI books.
• Credibility: You can always check the credibility of the institute by enquiring with alumni.
• Track record: Assess the pass percentage of the institute’s students. While it may not be the best indicator, it can be considered as one of the factors.
• Consistency: You need to ensure the institute follows a proper path and time table to complete each subject efficiently. If you end up in a coaching centre that keeps lagging on portions you will find yourself in a difficult position at the time of revisions.
• Cost: Being a student your aim would be to finish the coaching at a minimal expense. It needn’t always be true that lecturers charging exorbitant fees are better than those charging smaller amounts. Remember, quality over quantity. So, choose an institute that is the perfect trade-off between deliverables and cost.

 

You can feel assured to cross all these benchmarks at ArivuPro and we’re not asking you to blindly believe us. Rather, you should act smart and ask ex-students or alumni about their experience and what they think about each subject. All the very best for your future endeavour and feel free to reach out to us personally in case you’re still confused. Our team at ArivuPro is always happy to help you!
