1. It eats up the ‘self study’ time: While it helps to join a private coaching institute, it eats up the self study time, which is very important for any student. Irrespective of the number of classes a student takes, it is very important for a student to study things on his own. By joining a private coaching institute, the time a student has for self study, reduces.
2. Lack of value addition: For someone who joins a coaching institute just because it is a routine, there will not be any value addition.

It should in no way be interpreted that attending coaching classes are must for succeeding in studies. The most important factor for success in any educational field is the inherent qualities like the diligence, sincerity and ability to work hard, in the student. Had this not been the case, all students enrolled in the coaching institutes would have cleared the exams.

Most high scorers never take any help from coaching institutes, but still manage to scale the peak of academic excellence. Still, In case someone wants to join a coaching institute, one should look at how near the coaching is to his/her house and how much time s/he is going to spend there, because, the time lost in traveling and the consequences of long distance (like fatigue) travel may lead to a less than optimum performance.

A coaching center must always be considered as an additional tool/support that can help you perform better in your regular studies or competitive exams, and not the only tool, because, eventually, it is going to be your hard work, and your efforts that will pay.
