Hi Babita,

Well you have come with a very good question & I've completed my 10th class without any coaching years back, so I feel I am qualified to answer this question.
If you have not been to coaching till now and you prepare good enough by yourself then I think you can easily clear your 10th boards too. You can join any coaching in 11th or 12th . But joining a coaching comes with lot of external pressure & distraction, join only when you feel you want to join for better exposure and when you are ready. At this age your brain is well enough to clear your 10th board without any coaching. You just need to focus this one year and make most out of it. Challenge yourself and prove it to yourself that yes you can do it without any coaching also adding to this you have internet at your fingers, you can use online resources to learn things free of cost which you would pay for in a coaching. Why waste money & time when you can do it yourself. I myself cleared my boards without any coaching and I first time joined coaching in 12th itself. So, yeah it is totally fine if you don't want to join coaching in 10th !! You will thank yourself ahead!!!

Thank you!!!

Dear Aspirant,

It's not necessary but nowadays since the e-learning is happening and students are not learning much in schools according to me. It's just a formality. School teachers can be very helpful but sometimes children need external help. If you feel you can self study then it's well and good but if you need help then do join a good coaching institute.

Hope this Helps!

Good Luck
