WHAT NEXT?
ARE COACHING CLASSES MAKING MONEY WITH STUDENTS' INSECURITY?
A special article from Placement team - ACCET
What next? – is a question thrown towards every youngster of this imperialistic society. Everyone has to deal with this question no matter which position you are in now. Your happiness is counted by your sophistication. What about dreams and passion? Shut up, dude! They have no sense. Here, our contentment gains no stamina to blow horn.
Career pursuits are horror enough to feel like, “Everynight in my dreams I see you, I feel you!”
The society is constructed in a way such that you feel like every finger is stretched pointing towards you for every coin you haven’t pocketed. No one knows else one’s past, the society in which he/she has been brought up, or at least number of Idlis, he/she could eat. Only parents possess rights to question their son’s/daughter’s plans for the next step and no one else has.
Aforementioned everything fits completely for the students who are graduating from ACCET also. The face value of our college could roar to some extent but the increase in the private colleges and the tuitionized approach has surely evicted our students to take the back seat. There is a hazy atmosphere in which our students feel that they are too naïve to fit the market. Fear of insecurity leaves no one. Now the question is: Are our students trained to tackle and overcome that fear?
Most of our students are tented in cities like Chennai, Bangalore and Tuticorin, preparing for bank exams, UPSC exams, trying out all possible exams under the sun, stricken with uncertainty and the fear of questioning. Every coaching class is generating tons of rupees every year, with no guarantee on the return on investment. There is an economic network webbed with these classes as a base, in which students are baited as victim.
Most of the students who are in the bank coaching classes are from engineering background, with no such idea until getting out from the college as a VIP.
The hard hitting factor is some students who passed out two to three years before, are still waiting for the situation to turn up. Youngsters are tossed between survival of the fittest and the pursuit of happiness.
Clearly, joining a coaching class could not help anyone to dodge these annoying no-use questions. In this century, everyone is meant to participate in the battle, compulsorily.
Clarity in decision making, in terms of peer pressure and ambivalence, decides the timespan of each battle.
