Members also briefed that most of the coaching centers are running in parallel to that of the schools and providing coaching to the children in school hours from class 6th to 12th by manipulating dummy admissions in number of Government and private schools. This new culture of running dummy classes in Jammu & Kashmir has created a stress among the students which has now hampered the teaching and learning process in the schools, they explained and cautioned that if this menace of dummy admission is not controlled timely, Jammu & Kashmir will become a new suicide hub like Kota, Sikar of Rajasthan.
