Hi Awaiz!
There is no "need" to join a coaching institute as such. It is a personal choice and many chose not to opt for coaching while repeating. But others need that push and regular tests and schedule to prepare.
It is completely up to you, if you feel that you have paid attention during classes and know the basics, then you can opt to self-study at home. If you do this, my advice would be to appear for tests conducted by various coaching institutes i.e., to join a test series since these help in evaluation of your work. There are numerous test series run by various organisations, do your research and join the one which seems fit.
Good luck!
