9 Things which Every Ex-Kota Student Will Miss and Every Current Kota Student Will Face

Kota, the land near the Chambal River, the Educational Hub of the country, and a place where the dreams are turned either into a soothing reality or sometimes gets shattered to be rebuilt again. A home for around 2 lakh students who come every year to crack some of the most fierce and toughest competitive exams for XII passed students. For a year (sometimes years) long preparations to get through a very small opening of elite Engineering and Medical colleges of India,  these students leave their homes, their cities to prove their mettle.

Though Kota, is the home of hard-core studies, but is also the land of some very amazing memories, a student forges over there with time, which no college life or the school life will ever give.

#1 – The daily dose of Sins and Blessings

The DPPs, aka Daily Practice Papers, more commonly known as daily paap (sins) and punya (blessings), are the everyday homework consisting of around 10-15 questions in each subject which is supposed to be done by the students at their home. Come the next day, the subject starts with the prayer of discussion of the answers. Both the questions and the teachers had no mercy on students when the questions of DPPs come. The sun may start rising up from the West, but these doses for success in every coaching institute never failed to miss a day.

Apart from DPPs, which mainly focus on a day’s lecture, the students are also given a sheet for every chapter they have completed. The sheet consists of mainly three to four exercises.
