Suicide or murder: kota, a mortuary.

Also known as the Mecca of IIT and NEET coaching, Kota has seen 3 suicides in the past 2 days taking the total tally of 2018 to 19.

But is it justified to call them suicides while all of them had a common killer. Stress put on students in Kota is nothing less than murderous.

Kota has rightly been compared to the modern Nazi concentration camp where students are tortured to study 24*7 to keep up with the preparation.

Parents send off their children to Kota even when their children don’t want to be an engineer or doctor. They do this because of the limited career options they are aware of and the societal mindset surrounding the “prestigious” IITs.

Little are they aware that they are just pushing their children in a well of death. I feel a pressing need to make them aware of some facts surrounding Kota. Here they are:-

1. 90% of students preparing in Kota don’t qualify.

2. Kota stops the overall development of your child trying to focus on 1 thing.

3. Every year around 20-25 so called suicides happen in Kota.

4. Not all IITians get high packages, some even don’t get a placement.

It is very much clear from the above facts, that sending off your child to such a place is not worth it. If I were a parent I would not send my child there even if s/he willingly wanted to go.

You tell me, would you even go on a vacation to a place where every year 20+ people get killed. You won’t. Then why push your children into such a place.

Kota is just 1 case, there are thousands of suicides happening across our country because of parents forcing their children into coaching institutes to pursue something which their child isn’t even interested in.

Calling it a suicide is non-sensical. They are all murders. You know who the culprits are.
