The Freedom Of Studying At Your Own Free Time

E-learning programs or online coaching programs have just emerged and this is a totally new concept in the education scenario, at least in countries like India. The offline i.e. classroom based teaching or a tutor at home also helps you to prepare for the competitive examinations. But in respect to today’s fast moving world we also need to keep ourselves updated with the cutting edge technologies.

For a country like India the competition in various entrance examinations is very tough. For example more than 3 lakh students are expected to appear for CAT 2009. CAT is the entrance examination for the coveted management institutes like IIMs. Many other reputed institutes like MDI, IMT, SP Jain, etc. also accept CAT score. There are many classrooms coaching institute to help students appearing for CAT. Recently a young IIM alumnus and a Professor at reputed St.Xavier’s College Kolkata, Vineet Patawari has come up with an online coaching portal for CAT in the name of www.fireup.co.in. The timing of the launch of such a portal is most appropriate as CAT is going online from 2009.

After going through the website and comparing it with various other in the same domain I realized e-learning, specially for competitive examinations is more efficient learning tool as compared to the classroom tutorials in many ways. Firstly, you save the time and energy spend to attend the classroom coaching. You can log into www.fireup.co.in or any other similar website, whenever you want to get yourself started. There is no time barrier or timing schedule for the classes.

Secondly, many CAT aspirants are professionals who have a busy daily schedule with very little time to attend classes for such preparation purposes. Online mode of preparation becomes a boon to such people who want to pursue higher education keeping their professional life intact. Many people prefer a calm and homely atmosphere while studying. This makes them uncomfortable in tuition centers and thus they cannot concentrate on their study. Online mode of education helps you to prepare as per your convenience.

In brief it is Any Time, Any Where, Any Pace Learning. People usually have some social commitments too. Online study also provides the time for meeting their social obligations simply because they do not have to rush to coaching classes. Family men also find it easy since they do not have to adjust their time for meeting family commitments. Additional information on a particular subject can also be browsed through net which are not normally made available under classroom conditions.

Of course traditional campus education will never be dispensed with; sill there has been remarkable increase in the number of students preferring online courses in recent years. Apart from the specific advantages students get the chance to master the skill for dealing through net which is considered as essential under modern working conditions. Moreover facilities like 24*7 virtual coach provided by fireup.co.in are a boon for CAT takers.
