Latur Pattern

The Latur Pattern of study was developed by former principals Janrdan Waghmare and Aniruddha Jadhav of Rajarshi Shahu College in Latur, India.[1]

The 'Latur pattern' is a combination of special training and intensive coaching. Students solve a series of probable question papers and attend coaching sessions to prepare them for the exams.[2]

Latur is a mechanical methodology of continuous study designed to help students in providing point-to-point answers to questions which could be expected in the examination.[1] It became the standard for secondary, higher secondary, and university education in the Maharashtra state of India.[3] This educational technique has become widely adopted in other parts of the state due to the success of student's in Maharashtra on the standardized College Entrance Examinations (CET).[3]

This methodology, has been criticized by many educators in India, who consider it a tool to gain temporary advantage, that does not prepare them for advanced learning.[1][3][4]
