Re: Indian Education System
Most of North India's best-n-desired brains goes to Kota, so the success rate is high. I would rate "United AP" a bit higher (Hyderabad, Guntur-Vijayawada, Nellore). Its catchment area is mainly AP, yet it runs should-to-shoulder and sometimes outwits other states in producing rankers.
