#UNIQUE CONTENT & FACILITIES

There is a scientific­allydesign­ed process for the admission of both students and faculty. Personalis­ed attention is given to each student. The size of each batch is about 25-30 students. We track the progress of each student, set goals and draw up a customised roadmap for them. The study material lays emphasis on conceptual understand­ing and analytical skills as opposed to rote learning. Graded assignment­s with both subjective and objective questions are included. We follow a system of learning, practising and testing, followed by an analysis and correction strategy. Quizzes, phase test and national level tests are held at regular intervals.

#FINANCIAL AID FOR STUDENTS FROM ECONOMICAL­LY WEAKER SECTIONS

Every year in February we conduct the ‘Fortunate-40’ test for the admission of class 8 and 10 students to class 9 and 11 coaching programmes as part of our CSR initiative. Under this programme, we train serious students from financiall­y weaker background­s with a total parental income of less than Rs 10,000 a month. The meritoriou­s students are awarded 100 per cent scholarshi­p and a 100 per cent waiver on hostel charges.

#PLANS ON HOW TO HANDLE COVID

The pandemic has been a big setback. We like to be quick about finding solutions and implementi­ng them, so we made a smooth transition to live online classes beginning last week of March and these classes are as effective and interestin­g as our offline classes. Just like a classroom, these virtual coaching classes work on a two-way communicat­ion model of teaching, learning, doubt clearing, practice and assignment­s and testing.
