Sikar is a bustling educational hub, but don't expect an easy life. With a population of over 244,000, this city in Rajasthan is a magnet for students seeking coaching for competitive exams like NEET and IIT-JEE. Over 77% of residents are literate, and the city has produced top-ranking students. However, the bureaucracy is a persistent headache, and the hot, dry climate can be tough. Whether Sikar is the right fit depends on your tolerance for the challenges of living in an educational powerhouse.
