Kota is recognized around the world as a center for coaching for competitive exams such as JEE and NEET, along with formal higher education institutions like the University of Kota. Founded in 2003 as a state university. However, what continues to define its very contours as an institution is the image of the city as the foremost coaching industry, which styles up an ecosystem where students often manage their university coursework with their preparation for rigorous entrance exams.
