How much time does an SIP save?

Travel, waiting and the rush between school and coaching add up. Work out your own number.

IN SHORT

School plus evening coaching costs more than the coaching hours: there is the trip there and back, the rush home to eat and change, and the wait for a batch to start. For a student with a 40-minute trip each way and 45 minutes of gap, that is over two hours on every coaching day — several hundred hours a year. An integrated programme gives that time back. The calculator works out your own figure.

How much time would an integrated programme save?

About 833 hours back over 2 years — 417 hours a year, or 125 minutes on each coaching day.

That is roughly 104 full eight-hour study days, or an extra 2.1 hours of sleep, sport or revision on every coaching day.

Counts about 40 teaching weeks a year.
