  • What is the current batch strength for the section my child will join?
  • How are doubts handled—same day, appointment, or Telegram chaos?
  • What is included in the fee: GST, books, mocks, re-tests?
  • What is the scholarship fine print after the entrance test?
  • Can we see a sample weekly timetable and test calendar?
  • How do you support students who fall behind after two bad mocks?
  • What mental-health / counsellor access exists for residential students?
  • Are result claims for the same programme year and centre?
  • What happens if we relocate mid-course?
  • Is there a written refund / transfer policy?
  • Can we speak to two current parents independently?

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Should parents attend coaching demos?

    Yes—especially for fee breakup, batch strength, and support policies. Students should still evaluate teaching fit directly.

    What is the biggest mistake families make?

    Optimising only for brand fame or discount percentage instead of batch fit, doubt support, and sustainable routine.
