FIT-JEE, Narayana, blah blah!!! WHICH ONE?

Man there are soooo many IIT-JEE Coaching centres. But which one would be the best option.

I'm a 10th student, just (almost) finished with boards at the time of posting.

M

* *www.bansaliitjee.com/ - Bansal Classes, Kota
* *www.brilliant-tutorials.com/Contactus.html - Brilliant Tutorials Classroom, Delhi
* *www.resonance.ac.in/ - Resonance, Kota

If in Delhi,
Narayana = Brilliant = FIITJEE. Their centers are one after each other in Kalu Sarai (near IIT-D).

Best is VMC if you get into it. I guess the main office is in Punjabi Bagh.

pick anyone from kalu sarai all have good faculty members. getting into VMC is tough. but after you get into it life will be tough and really hectic so consider getting into any other coaching centre.

It depends upon how you study

^^
Very true, I took special coaching for about 2 weeks in aakash insti but realised that for me type of average student experience is required before you can go smoothly with all those coaching classes so it really depends on how you study.

From personal experience, let me tell you that going to coaching alone will hardly help. I got pwned for 2 years and my academic performance actually came down before I started recovering again a few months back just in time for my board exams.

Most of these guys will teach you starting from a level higher than school level, so you need to be comfortable with school portions already before starting coaching, otherwise you run serious risks of being pwned. Also be prepared to ditch gaming and digit forum. Without lots and lots of effort, IIT would probably be only visited by you for your master's degree.

Are you sure you can put in 2 years of genuine effort, with genuine interest ?

If yes, join any center and you should do fine. If no, forget IIT and concentrate on AIEEE.

I SERIOUSLY tell you , if you are a sensitive type and get caught in the things easily/moderately . dont go for any institiution .
study in school , get private teacher/local best coaching and get some instituitions materials (they are available like rs 1000 for full bansal ones) , prepare them and sure if you cover them all you get 100% selection .

Dont go outer city like kota , etc to study .
you know , most of their students do not study and just do time pass with nuissance . their you have to be mentally toooo much prepared . if you are average i seriously advice dont go . because most average/good students get caught in the wrong path their . LACK of parents , they normally swift in the direction of not studying .

and when you say that there is 4000 selections from kota then think about the total 2 lakh students studying there !!!!! AND ALSO THE TOP BRAINS OF INDIA THERE ......................

IF u r brilliant (i mean trully brilliant ) and can understand materials in very short time , you can go . otherwise everything is negative there .
first few months are ok and then afterwards the result is :-
1. 24hrs cyber cafe (the biggest problem there !) even if you dont have money the cafe walas will lend you for months and when your parents visit , you know what :grin:

2. movies , lots of local playstation , gives you movies like rs.2-3 per head .
you will surely caught by it.
3. bad fooding makes you sick too .
4. mental torture and heat.
5. almost 99% to get bad company.

INSPITE of all being this if u dare to withstand all these , go SURELY TO BANSAL CLASSES .

If in Delhi,
Narayana = Brilliant = FIITJEE. Their centers are one after each other in Kalu Sarai (near IIT-D).

Yep in Delhi.

Kalu Sarai very near my house.

Thread open for discussion on the Original TOPIC nywayz

it depends upon you..
about Narayan i really have bad experience with it..their study system sucks..they make you read and read ..i really hate how they differentiate kids on %'s of exam..

Private College's like Narayan = They need $$ ..their study system is purely designed to attract more students and make money..
if u r one who think Knowledge gaining important better join from private tutor and go through BASICS...it will get nice ranks..

this is my opinion it is based on HYD centre where i read....the teaching and treatments to students may vary depending on centre..

Does Narayana have enternce test like VMC??
and what abt the Course Fees??

Yeah, cud I get an insight on "fees" too and if there's any scholarship on the basis of marks obtained in boards. Some courses start in June rite.

^^
Its around 80k for 2 year course(XI students) and some 55k - 60k for 1 year course(XII appearing / passed).I am talkin of Resonance.
Nearly same fees structure for FIITJEE.
These big institutes dont bother about your percentage.It all depends on how you perform in "their" tests.These tests will be quite tough for you as you havent been exposed to tougher problems yet.
If although you have participated and performed well in NTSE ... U will be at ease.

In FIITJEE they offer max. scholarship upto 75% .. So if u get that u will pay 20k for an 80k course.But its very difficult to get that.
An average student gets 0 - 10 % discount.(150 Questions correct out of 400)
Good student can get upto 35% discount. (270 question out of 400 )
Brilliant ones get upto 75% (350+ questions correct)

These are stats told by my classmates who studied in FIITJEE for academic year ( 06 - 08 )
Can vary a little bit now.

Agree with all the points..thats wat I thought and m not in any coaching now....though m in 12th now.

And yes m concentrating on AIEEE (thats the answer to your question at last)

Hey friend please correct the spelling of FIIT-JEE in thread title, I know it can't be corrected but be carefull in future. I m in class XII just passed XI,studying in FIIT-JEE Punjabi Bagh, Delhi and to be frankly it's good. I will recommend fiit-jee if in delhi and that too punjabi bagh centre.

well i was from maharashtra state board. joined fiitjee mumbai batch and got pawned big time. there were 2 selections out of 29 students(one of them was studying for jee from the 8th grade, and was with fiitjee simply because they offered him 100% scholarship, so credit shouldnt go to fiitjee for his selection). decided to take a break, and joined Vidyarthi Academy. A lot better than fiitjee, but still had to work mostly by myself. Finally ended up with a sub-5k rank in the second attempt. not worth anything except for some limited bragging rights!!!

but yes, fiitjee delhi should be way better than fiitjee mumbai. but please check for urself before u join, otherwise you are signing away 2 golden years of ur life.

and yes, for a state board student like me brilliant tutorial's modules were a godsend. they are simply condensed versions of the cbse textbooks but are a lot more simplified and help to cover chapters quickly. but i later moved on to arihant publications.

Also agree with what experno1 has posted. I also heard the same thing. Go to Kota only if ur have been a hardworking student over many years, and can resist temptation from infinite distractions. Hell, i have heard of people taking a break and staying in kota for an extra year just to continue their enjoyment!

^^
This year 7-8 of its HOD left it.(This was on front page of TOI some 1.5 months back)
All of them have opened a new coaching in Kota.
This will affect the no. of students going to Bansal Classes this year as these HOD's were very popular among the students.

I

Don't know much about FIIT-JEE delhi,but i've some great experiences with Brilliant tutorials(delhi).
I signed up for their open test and somehow managed to do well in it.
they sent their team of best teachers to my city just to teach 5 students who had above 98 percentile in that test(there is nothing they wont do to add a few selection to their results

).those teachers were really good.their teaching style was very much concept oriented.in the end, that 54 hours long mini crash course proved to be very much useful for me.

G

donno abt fiitjee

here in hyd for eamcet n iit...ppl go ga ga over naryana and chaitanya instituitions...study like hell...get tortured like hell

of course i m from narayana inst....i think its good only for state level entrance

Man, what about scholarship programmes.

If I get more than 90% in the X boards, do I get any "off" on these outrageous fees?

G

^^ ya u get for that % of 10th in narayana and chaitanya
donno abt others... go and enquire once

some keep entrance on basic aptitude and sciences

^^I read in a paper, it was 90% fee off if you score 95% and above in boards(nxt to impossible for me) and 50% fee off if you score 90% and above(I have a chance here).

^^
I really dont beleive.Ask your nearby institute to confirm this.
AFAIK u dont get much off a discount on your boards performance .. Its actually their test's performance that matter.
And a reson for that is more than 10k students would score 90% this year .. So if they really go by this standard ... They would be "kangaal" :lol:

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR THE VMC ENTERANCE??

IT IS SO HIGH LVL MATHS. COULDNT FIND SUCH QUESTIONS EVEN IN R D SHARMA. ARE THERE ANY BOOKS AVAILABLE WHICH HAVE VMC ENTERANCE LVL MATHS??
HOW ARE YOU GUYS PREPARING??

Then study physics and chem only AFTER finishing maths. Kinematics and Dynamics appeared pwning to me in 11th, now I am revising them comfortably like a walk in the park thanks to calculus knowledge. :grin:

I attended BASE in 11th and in 12th but dropped out somewhere in september after I had it enough. Self study ROCKS.

PS: I use Halleday/Resnick/Walker Fundamentals of Physics for physics, RD Sharma for Mathematics. What about you ? I still didn't find a book better than Pradeep Chemistry for chemistry...

100% fee off here in hyd if u get 95%

we had no such thing in bangalore. Rs. 75,000 after max discount.
me and my friends said fug off to FIIT-JEE
We mostly went with BASE. Its the best in Bangalore.
But I personally like the teaching techniques of ACE better. They don't assume that you are a god of everything, atleast, thats what my friends there say.

why everyone wants to get into IIT so badly? funny.

The process makes you a great man, while the result makes you look like one.
Attempting IIT-JEE itself takes a lot of commitment and hard work along with pwning oneself.
I am still not sure I can make it on 12/4/2009 in JEE but the experience of studying in a rat race is really enriching. Its something I can benifit from in the future.

^ All d best 4 ur JEE dude

why everyone wants to get into IIT so badly? funny.

Even I end up with the same question in my head often.

Big institutes will always focus that their students are great like bansal , if you are average , dont go .

Me being a good student got pwned by the distractions their in kota .

Lastly , self study is saving me . Phew . D.C pandey for physics , k.C sinha for maths and for chem take anything like arihant one will do .

If you are even brilliant but can be easily influenced then you will ruin your studies for 2 years , that was what happened with me .

Otherwise the best is bansal classes and the new allen who has taken all best teachers of bansal .

Hmm, I'm actually considering regular classes, and just a small crash course b'fore the fkng IIT-JEE exam.

Well I stick to NCERT only like a glue, I read some chapters 8-9 times and just for referance I use ABc for chem and nothing for others, lets see what the hell I do for second year, our classes not started yet. What about urs??

^its your second attempt to jee ?

^^No, maybe he did from class 11

So Class 11 is 1st year, Class 12 is 2nd year.

G

^^ You got that right...

By 2nd year I mean Class XII

Its better if you study using physics spectrum of arihant . Seriously my experience says d.C pandey is amazing for self study .You dont need ncert for physics but for maths and chem you do so .

NCERT Physics sucks big time. Its so bad, my friend says my notes on electron drift velocity and magnetic behaviour of particles in bad handwriting (but good structure) taught him the whole topic in 10 min while the textbook he struggled with for 1 hour without fruit.

For physics, look no further than Halleday/Resenick/Walker Fundamentals of Physics. Its an awesome book. Its totally beautiful and 1337, with awesome problems and everything in it is REALITY based. The 3rd example question in the book itself would instantly impress you for its simplicity and elegence and from then you will get hooked on to the book immidiately.

C

^^
Which city? Can you give your notes after all your enterance exams? Haven't touched physics in 2 years. Never got physics till 10th and on seeing 11th grade stuff, never touched it. stupid me! exams on may 4th. have to complete 2 year course in umm 20 days. I study in pune. Can anyone help? I am anti-tutions, thankyou.

G

What about HC Verma Physics, comment on it guys and yes the RD Sharma in Mathematics, just bought them today.

RD Sharma is awesome.

HC Verma is the best IIT Professor according to many ppl. His book has great problems and explains everything wonderfully. Its as good as halleday/resenick/walker, but I love the ample amount of cheap humour present in the later so I don't read from HC Verma when I am tensed up.

G

ppl better brush up wat u know already perfectly n revise

dont learn new things now

all the best for jee

H.C verma isn't for self study , you wont get enough from it . Its only for those who want good numericals in small place . And according to me its not a good book . I have studied h.c verma and D.C pandey both . Seriously pandey's book is step ahead .

Pandeys book help you learn every concept in short span of time with level wise numericals .

About resnick , seriously it takes time to study it than pandey . Pandeys book gives you everything , nothing more nothing less in less time and its conceptual section for every chapter is a god send . And i dont believe you guys like R.D sharma , it lacks good numericals . Better get K.c sinha or M.L khanna . Btw amit agarwals maths is great and ofcourse dont forget S.l loney . I call it "salony" :grin:

Totally agree.

G

^^ So lot of you agree with RD Sharma's Maths. Good to know that.

i remember practically nothing came from trigonometry last year.

not me , for me its m.L khanna and amit agarwal

G

^^
ok dude, no problem...

RD Sharma is not for IIT-JEE. Its awesome for AIEEE and CBSE and perhaps VITEEE. RD Sharma and RS Agrawal are best for classes 9,10,11,12 mathematics. Me and my friends usually buy them as compliments. My friend got Agrawal and I got Sharma, and we study our respective books. Then solve problems, and exchange books to solve problems from the other book.

G

^^ That's why I prefer RD Sharma now, didn't I tell you before that am on for AIEEE only and not IIT....I hope you remember now.
