How to prepare for IIT JEE in Pune
I have heard people saying that Catching A Cheetah Is Easier Than Cracking IIT JEE. Similar are the talks about medical
entrance exams like AIIMS and AFMC. But is it really that difficult?
After reading this blog and the relevant links,
you will be very much clear about various misconceptions and at the same point
of time you will be able to make proper strategy to clear JEE or medical
entrance exams.
Just after the completion of class 10th
you have options of joining Science, Commerce or Arts. Science is recommended
because a fundamental knowledge of math and science till 12th makes
a person quite confident. Even at later stages, if a science student thinks of
changing his stream to Commerce or Arts, it is very much feasible. But other
way round it’s not possible.
Once a student has chosen science, he must
decide whether he wants to be an engineer or doctor. Engineering aspirants
should strictly avoid biology and similarly medical aspirant should avoid math.
As these are very competitive exams and are very tough to crack and on top of
that, Bio is burden to Engg aspirants and Math is a burden for Medical
aspirants.
Best way to clear JEE and get into IITs is, to
start the preparation as early as possible. Choose appropriate coaching classes
for JEE preparation in your city. While making choice you should keep following
parameters in mind:
Ø Who will take your lectures ?
Ø Competency of the faculty team
Ø Stability of Faculty team in past 1 – 2 yrs
Ø Results of students (Taught by Existing Faculty
Team)
Ø Commutation timing, Infrastructure and logistics.
Now let us discuss coaching classes in Pune and
touch upon their plus points and minus points. Some of the coaching institutes
for JEE below are untested as they are new and some are trying to establish
their base in Pune.
M. Prakash Academy
Year established : 2000
Promoter : M Prakash
Presence : Only Pune
TOP Rank in IIT JEE Advance 2013: All India Rank 137 (Deven Diwakar)

Entrance : Only
one entrance Test on 6th April 2014 at MIT Engg college Pune
Arguably the best math teacher of country M Prakash
sir owns this academy and teaches math. In past MPA has given fabulous results.
In 2013 top 2 students of Pune were from M. Prakash Academy AIR 137 and 155. Physics
dept is handled by Mr. Vishwesh who is a very competent teacher.
Why
one should join M.Prakash Academy:
1. Most
of the students qualifying mathematics Olympiad from India have been thankful
to Mr. Prakash for his guidance. Second best institute for Mathematics Olympiad
is far below M.Prakash Academy.
2. This
Academy has never been in any controversy like, changing teachers or Fake
Result IIT JEE Pune.
3. Selection
criteria is very genuine and if you get selected then for next few years you
will be in a pool of brilliant students and in the hands of good teachers.
Disadvantages
of the M. Prakash Academy:
1. Chemistry
has never been M.Prakash strength. Many students of M.Prakash Academy have been
attending Chemistry at other institutes.
2. Academy
has only one centre,( kothrud) and hence commutation time is a cause of concern
for most of the students across the city. With very limited or almost no time
availability for CBSE and ISC students.
3. They
don’t have their own study material.

Prime Academy Pune was established in 2009 by
Lalit Kumar, B.Tech graduate from IIT Bombay. Prime Academy has 6 branches across Pune (MG
Road, Deccan, MG Road, Pimpri, Aundh and Wanawadi) . Most of the students who have qualified IIT
JEE from pune have been taught by faculties who are in Prime Academy now. In
terms of top rank in IIT JEE 2013, Prime Academy is second among all JEE
coaching classes, ( Only M.Prakash Academy had better top rank than Prime
Academy Pune) as Kedar Joshi got All india Rank 159 in IIT JEE 2013.
Why
one should join Prime Academy Pune:
1. Since
quite a few years, most of the top IIT JEE faculties in Pune are consistently
teaching at Prime Academy Pune. Just to name a few, Lalit Kumar, Jaswant
Charan, Pradeep Nagar, Pritam sengupta, Rahul Waware, Sredhar Babu, all are IIT
graduates.
2. Even
average students can get admission in prime but still percentage of students
clearing IIT JEE is quite high.
3. Marketing
and publicity is minimal and most of the enrollments in Prime Academy are
through good word of mouth by current and past students.
4. Prime
Academy Pune has tie with renown schools and colleges like Bishop and hence
students save commutation time and studies of board and competitive exams are
synchronized, making the system more efficient.
Disadvantages
of Prime Academy Pune:
1. Parents
have complained about the lack of communication between parents and Prime
administrators.
2. They
don’t have their own study material.
3. Students
are unhappy because of delayed results and errors in answer keys in the
internal exam.
Few things to be noted: NGO Dakshana foundation
has chosen Prime Academy for IIT JEE coaching to scholars of Jawahar Navoday
Vidyalaya across the country for shikrapur branch.

FIITJEE was founded by D K Goel, IIT Delhi
graduate in early 90s in Delhi and currently it’s the biggest chain of IIT JEE
coaching institute across the country. FIITJEE pune is the part of the this chain.
Being a corporate structure, FIITJEE is one of the most systematic institute.
Parents are interacted with on regular basis through auto generated SMS and
emails with details reports of attendance and scores of their wards.
Why
one should join FIITJEE
1. FIITJEE
has very good error proof study material.
2. Tests
and results are updated and students get to compare themselves with many a
thousands of other students enrolled with FIITJEE Test Series across the
country.
3. FIITJEE
has school tie ups and hence classes are conducted in school premises only
which helps students to save commutation time.
Disadvantage
of FITJEE :
1. FIITJEE
spends a lot in heavy marketing and relies mainly on national brand value. Quality
of faculty is mediocre.

not being national level institute can’t adjust much as per local students
requirements.

53) and 2012 ( Kevin Daniel AIR 92)
BT, got 3 back to back pune toppers in
IIT JEE and arguably became the best IIT JEE coaching institute in Pune. BT has 9 branches across pune.
Why
one should join Bakliwal Tutorials:
1. Owner
of the institute ( Vaibhav Bakliwal) is a very good motivator.
2. Good
students are called in separate batch called COC ( champions of champions ) and
get to see good teachers.
3. Alumni
network is very strong and current students get to meet seniors from IIT very
frequently which boosts their confidence and moral.
Disadvantages
of Bakliwal Tutorials:
1. Stability
of faculty is a huge problem and student get to see different teachers every
now and then, hampering the continuity and moral. Consequently BT’s result
dropped drastically in 2013 and their top rank was not even among top 5 of
Pune.
2. Vaibhav
Bakliwal himself doesn’t take lectures except their entrance program lectures,
COC batch and Repeaters
3. Since
only COC batch is paid special attention, students of all other batches get
ignored and 50% of the average students leave the course in middle.
4. Sometimes
when strength decreases complete batch is cancelled. In 2012, students who had
enrolled for Vimanagar , Aundh and camp batch were asked to travel to other
centers as their batches were cancelled.
