For folks belonging to Pune, I have a query regarding the coaching centers available for IIT-JEE preparation. My relatives are looking for a coaching center for their children who are in 11th standard now. They have come across these two centers: Allen and Bakliwal Tutorials. Both institutes are good, but Bakliwal's feedback is more positive. Both institutes have tie-ups with different schools, so maintaining a balance between coaching and school won't be a problem. I wanted to know if anyone had any experience with these two institutes and if yes, then what is your feedback. If not, then is there some other institute that you would recommend? It's a bit off topic question, but any leads are highly appreciated 🙏

Vaibhav Bakliwal (founder of Bakliwal Tutorials) is my college batchmate and though I haven't spoken with him in a long time now, I can still vouch for his thoughtfulness and an honest approach and his chess & puzzle solving wizadry!

Bakliwal Tutorials is no doubt the best in pune. But it also too stressful. Only go for it when you are sure that the student can withstand the pressure. there are 4 types of batches. 1. Wizards - Students who perform exceptionally well in the entrance exam are selected in Wizards batch 2. Champions of Champions (COC) - The next set of students who perform very well get selected in the COC batch 3. Champions - Students who do well, but are not able to get through COC, are selected in 4. Challengers - Students who perform averagely are selected in the Challengers batch then they have regular test - which move the kids from a COC to Wizard or challengers - depending on the performance. Kids in the Wizard class have too much pressure to remain in that class.

Thank you for your inputs 🙂 Bakliwal conducted a scholarship test last week in which my relatives daughter got 53rd rank out of 300 students who participated. I am not sure about the batch yet, in which she will be assigned but this is definitely helpful. They are inclined towards Bakliwal too, but have to be sure before enrolling. All your inputs will definitely help 🙏
