Kota’s coaching hub struggles amid plunging student numbers
Kota: Kota’s once-flourishing coaching industry is grappling with a severe downturn due to a sharp drop in student enrollments. Hundreds of coaching institutes and hostels stand deserted as the inflow of outstation students has drastically reduced.
This slump has triggered widespread salary cuts for teaching and non-teaching staff, leaving many struggling to make ends meet. The downturn has also sent ripples across the local economy, affecting businesses and sectors reliant on the student population.
With no clear signs of recovery, the city faces an uncertain future, as the backbone of its economy—the coaching industry—continues to falter.
