During the pandemic, so many sectors got affected but the most affected one was education. Everyone wanted to stay inside the house and schools, colleges shut down everywhere. Then the concept of online education got into existence. During that period when many people were trying for various competitive exams like RRB, IBPS, JEE, etc., the coaching centers have to try some alternatives so that their studies do not get affected. People who were learning from offline classes for various exams like RRB have shifted from offline to RRB online coaching centers. 

After the concept of online classes was introduced, people found it a much better option compared to online ones. This new system of coaching helped them manage their daily tasks in a much better way and provided various benefits over offline classes. 

Let us do a comparison between offline and online classes for RRB and try to understand which one is better for the aspirants. 

• Time Management

Whether you are having your coaching classes nearest to your house, still you need to get up on time, get ready for it and reach the center on time. This time can be easily saved in online classes. For competitive exams like RRB, students should not waste much time. The competition is very high every single minute of the day is precious for the aspirants. Online classes save lots of time that is wasted when they commute from their home to the institute. The time saved can be used for doing some other productive tasks that add value to their life. 

• Interaction

During online classes, you get less chance to interact with the teachers as well as classmates as compared to the offline ones. A schedule is followed by the students and they are allowed to meet the teachers even after the class is over. Online, once the class is over, you can only contact the teacher if they allow you to do so. Interaction with classmates is also important to stay updated with the latest tips and trends.

• Study Material

The study material provided in the online classes is more updated as compared to the offline ones. This helps them to study well for their railway exam. However, the coaching centers also provide their students with good study material. During online sessions, the teachers also provide some additional notes that help the students in scoring well in their competitive exams. 

• Flexibility

The flexibility provided to the students in online classes is much better when compared to offline classes. A strict schedule for the classes is followed during the offline classes where once the student misses the lecture, they will miss the topic. If the teacher is interested then only, he/she will help the students in learning the topic again otherwise they will miss the topic. But online classes provide the flexibility of scheduling the lectures as per students’ time and convenience. After the class, the video related to the topic is updated on the web which is accessible to students thought out the session. They can learn the topic whenever they want to even after the lecture using those videos.
