  1. WHY AASANKA

  2. CLASS X1: TIME FOR DECISIONS,TIME FOR CONFUSION • Should you study at home or coaching class? • Go to private coaching or organised coaching • Go to kota or study in your city • Should I aim for IIT or be happy with anyengineering college? • When to go to college?When to go to coaching class? When? When? • Instead of feeling decisive,parents and children feel helpless

  3. HOW DO PARENTS DECIDE TODAY • Simple: let the child go a coaching class • Which coaching class?Well, any one will do • They publish such large adspromising easy entry into IITs and engineering colleges • Is this true? Is life really so easy

  4. COACHING CLASSES:MYTH AND REALITY • IIT JEE -Out of 36 students, 1 selected 35 fail (Of the 311,258 candidates who appeared in the examination conducted on April 13, 2008, 8,652 candidates have been declared qualified to seek admission, giving a selectivity of 1 in 36 overall ) • India’s BEST coaching in Kota -Out of 20 students, 1 selected 19 fail • Mumbai’s BEST coaching -Out of 22 students, 1 selected 21 fail • New Delhi’s Best coaching -Out of 24 students, 1 selected 23 fail

  5. SO HOW DO THEY GET RESULTS The choosen few The neglected many • The bright students who would have qualified with or without coaching - strong focus by coaching class with the best teachers. The “photo” students • The rest of the class - unimportant and uncared for. Inexperienced teachers. These students’ photos will NOT appear in the newspapers

  6. AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THE REST • From 80 to 1500 students in a class • Can’t understand a lecture?Sorry, no time to repeat the lecture.Forgot a lecture? Well, bad luck • Would like to clarify some concept?Sorry, the professor has no time • Spending time talking to your friends?Unfortunately the professor can’t bebothered

  7. WHERE DO COACHING CLASSES FAIL • Teaching of basic concepts? Sorry no time for that. The curriculum has to be finished first • The focus is only on assignments and hard problems - this is the only thing that matters to coaching classes

  8. SO WHAT HAPPENS TO ASSIGNMENTS • Students are given tests to solve at home • The next day, a few assignments are solved by the teacher • Your individual assignments? Sorry, the teacher has no time for individual attention • Who is supposed to check the papers? Who is supposed to be the expert? You, or the teacher?

  9. DO THEY HANDLE DOUBTS AT ALL? SOMETIMES - THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS • Imagine a strong teacher’s 3 hour class of 80 students • In 1 minute a doubt is asked. The teacher takes 2 minutes to answer. Time taken in each Q&A is 3 min • Even a strong teacher can answer only 60 studentsand maximum of 1 doubt per student - 3 hours will be gone with no further teaching • What actually happens - Even great teacher targetsfinishing the course and NOT answering doubts • Still want to raise doubts? You will be lucky if theteacher hears you. • So what do you do? Check with your friends? Orforget about the doubt

  10. SO IS THERE ANY FEEDBACK AT ALL? • Tests are conducted periodically • After the test students are given solution • Students are made to analyse their test attempt against standard solution • Marks and rank in the coaching is the ONLY personal feedback • Don’t know your strengths and weaknesses? Unfortunately neither does your teacher

  11. WHY DO COACHING CLASSES SUCCEED IN ATTRACTING SO MANY STUDENTS • Because the school system is not able to dofull justice • Because the coaching classes prey on thehelpnesses of parents • Because parents don’t know how the systemworks • Because parents are not able to see beyondthefull page ads and the top rankers • Because every parent wants his child to bea top ranker

  12. WHY DO COACHING CLASSES AND THE SCHOOL SYSTEM FAIL • Because they teach a crowd, not a student • Because they want to finish the curriculum, not explain concepts

  13. SO WHAT’S THE IDEAL WAY • Where the student is at the centre ofthe teaching system • Where his individual strengths andweaknesses are analysed • Where his doubts are immediatelyclarified • Where the path from concept toassignment is smooth and seamless

  14. WHERE DOES THIS HAPPEN IN A CLASSROOM OF ONE

  15. WHAT IS A CLASSROOM OF ONE

  16. TOP-RANKER OR LOW RANKER - EVERYBODY GETS THE SAME LECTURE • More than 3000 concept lectures created by a team of IITians under the leadership of Atul Nigam, the 1st IITian to start coaching classesin India • Atul has so far created over 1000 IITians in his teaching career

  17. COACHING CLASSES TIE YOU DOWN -AASANKA SETS YOU FREE • Forgotten a lecture? No problem. Just go back to the lecture and hear it as often as you need • Don’t feel like studying in the mornings? No problem. Study whenever you feel like. The system is at your disposal • Commuting is tiring you out? Save your energies for your studies

  18. HAVE DOUBTS?DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK • Our mentors are on call • Raise any doubt - as often as you need to.Our mentors will guide you and coach you

  20. COACHING CLASSES GIVE YOU MANY PROBLEMS TO SOLVE - WHAT DOES AASANKA DO? • Aasanka has over 40000 problems for you to solve • You get immediate feedback on every question that you attempt

  21. FUNDAMENTALS OR ROTE?THERE IS NO DEBATE • ALL coaching classes thrive by herding students into a class and getting them to mud equations • Aasanka starts with basics - only when you have mastered the basics do you to the stage of problem - solving

  22. COACHING CLASSES ARE EXPENSIVE - WHAT ABOUT AASANKA • Some coaching class fees are like marriage expenses - a huge burden on the parents • Aasanka fees are designed to appeal to every class of society • At Rs 10000, it does not burn a hole in anyone’s pocket
