Kota, Rajasthan — once known solely for its unparalleled coaching ecosystem for JEE and NEET aspirants — is now evolving into a full-fledged education city. While lakhs of students still flock to its famed coaching institutes each year to prepare for India’s toughest entrance exams, an equally powerful wave is now transforming Kota into a higher education powerhouse.
At the heart of this transformation is Career Point University (CPU), Kota, a rapidly emerging center for advanced learning, innovation, and skill-based education. But it doesn’t stand alone. Alongside the CPU, established institutions like the Rajasthan Technical University, the Agriculture University Kota, Vardhman Mahaveer Open University, and the University of Kota are collectively shaping the academic future of this vibrant city.
Kota: More Than Just Coaching
Kota’s legacy as the coaching capital of India is undeniable. Institutions like Career Point, Allen, and Resonance have helped shape the dreams of millions, sending top rankers to IITs, NITs, and AIIMS year after year. But as students began to outgrow the limits of entrance preparation, Kota had to evolve — and it did.
Today, Kota is no longer just a stopover; it’s becoming a complete academic destination. Students who once came here to prepare for exams now choose to stay here for their undergraduate, postgraduate, and even doctoral studies. And leading this transformation is Career Point University.
