Kota: After a prolonged slowdown, Rajasthan's Kota, widely recognised as India's premier coaching hub for IIT-JEE and NEET, is witnessing a revival, with admissions for the 2026–27 academic session gathering momentum.

Early trends indicate a 20–30 per cent rise in student enrolments across coaching centres in the city.

The resurgence comes after a sharp decline over the past few years.

Between 2023 and 2025, the number of students dropped by nearly 30–40 per cent — from around 2.5 lakh aspirants generating an annual revenue of Rs 6,500–7,000 crore to just 85,000 — 1 lakh students, with revenue shrinking to about Rs 3,500 crore.
