In India, the coaching industry has become a multi-thousand crore business, exploiting the dreams of millions of students while prioritizing profit over education. From Kota to Mukherjee Nagar and Old Rajinder Nagar, coaching centers lure young minds into a system where life revolves entirely around exams. Passing means glory, failing means social stigma, mental stress, and in extreme cases, even suicide. This ₹60,000 crore industry thrives on false promises, misleading advertisements, and “dummy schools” that allow students to be promoted without attending classes, all while masking the real quality of education. Big coaching names flaunt their wealth and success stories, yet students and parents remain largely in the dark about refund policies, contractual terms, or the actual learning outcomes. Even when students leave mid-course, institutions often refuse refunds, treating education as a profit-making product rather than a service. In this episode of Facts & Figures, Hemant exposes the dark underbelly of India’s coaching mafia: the Information Asymmetry, the neglect of mental health, and the manipulative tactics used to maximize enrollments. From fake toppers to expensive property accumulation, this video unpacks how coaching centers exploit students and parents alike. We also discuss how the system pressures students into burnout, narrows their creativity, and distorts their childhood. Is the government taking any action? Will education remain a product for profit, or will the focus shift back to students’ real learning and mental well-being? Watch to understand the shocking truths behind India’s multi-thousand crore coaching industry.
