3. Allen Career Institute Pune
Allen is a quite well known brand in the JEE coaching industry. They first started their operations in Kota and then expanded to various regions.
Allen has various branches in Pune. They provide coaching for JEE and NEET as well.
Teachers
There is no data of teachers mentioned on their website. However from our research, we got to know that their Physics faculty is weak and various students have complained about it. We have posted the reviews as well below.
Results
2021 Results
Starting from JEE Mains , they published the results of first 2 attempts of JEE Mains 2021 and according to that their best percentile starts from 99.92 secured by Kush Shah. So the approx. rank we can safely say would be around 800.
In JEE Advanced, Allen Pune had the best AIR of 495 secured by Shreyas Grampurohit. They had total 81 students who qualified JEE Advanced 2021; 4 in top 2000 and 15 in top 5000.
KVPY– Their best AIR was 76 secured by Raj Chandak in SA Stream and in SX Stream, the Pune Rank 3 was bagged by Allen student with an AIR of 67. Allen had total 25 selections in KVPY 2021.
2022 Results
Their best rank from all the Pune branches was AIR 197 so no student secured a rank of below 100.
Coming to their nationwide results, they claimed that their best AIR is 11, secured by Deevyanshu Malu. Vedantu, FIITJEE, Resonance, and Motion classes also claimed Divyanshu as their classroom student.
Bakliwal Tutorials which is a locally focussed institute in Pune produced better results that Allen’s all branches across the nation. Pratik Sahoo from Bakliwal Tutorials secured AIR 7 in JEE Advanced 2020 surpassing Allen’s results.
2023 Results
Allen continues its practice of publishing misleading results, ALLEN Career Institute Pune stated that Aryan Mahajan (AIR 79), Reeshabh Kotecha (AIR 89), and Shourya Johari (AIR 215) are their students and claimed their ranks.
It was found that Aryan Mahajan (AIR 79), Reeshabh Kotecha (AIR 89), and Shourya Johari (AIR 215) were enrolled at M Prakash Institute (MPI) in Pune. M. Prakash Institute has never been associated with fraudulent results or deceptive claims. It is renowned for its trustworthiness and ethical practices. So it is clear that ALLEN Pune has poached these student’s results, which thus makes us question the accuracy and integrity of their declared outcomes.
In JEE Main 2023, Sarthak Toshniwal (AIR 92) was the Pune Topper in the April Session from Allen. But his result is also claimed by Shrinivas Academy Pune, and that makes us question Allen Pune’s credibility.
2024 Results
It was no surprise this year as well when Allen Pune asserted that they have produced the Pune Girl’s Topper, Khushi Kucheria. In reality, Khushi Kucheria is a Spectrum, Nashik student and has never been to Pune for any offline classes. Khushi on this day also, is preparing for her JEE Advanced exam at Spectrum, Nashik and this can be verified from the teachers teaching her at Spectrum Nashik. She has never taken a single class in Pune.
Allen’s results are not credible enough to be believed and above stated are only a few instances. They have been faking results since years and fooling innocent students and parents.
Branches
The Pune Head Office is located at Shankar Sheth Road. Other than that they have 4 branches in Pune- Shivaji Nagar, Chinchwad, Viman Nagar and Baner.

2022 Results:
IITPK claimed that their student has secured 134 on their website; AIR 134 is Saarth Singla, who is actually a resident of Chandigarh, so this data published by IITPK was false.

2023 Results
Darsh Patel from iiTPK scored 99.95 percentile in JEE Main Phase 1 2023. Despite his remarkable performance, iiTPK has not disclosed Darsh Patel’s rank on any platforms, which is disappointing and raises questions about their claims. It is estimated that Darsh Patel’s All-India rank is likely around the top 1000, given that approximately 1 million students appeared for JEE Main 2023. However, the lack of transparency from iiTPK makes it difficult to verify this claim.
IITian’s Prashikshan Kendra (IITPK) never mentions the ranks or the percentile of the students. The only way of displaying results that they follow is a document uploaded on their website that has the list of the names of the students and the stream that have been selected. Now the question here arises is, without the percentile or ranks, what is the degree of authenticity of these results shown to the students/parents?
Branches
They have branches in these areas in Pune- JM Road, Kothrud, City Mall, Pimpri, Chinchwad, Camp, Nagar Road, Satara Road, Sinhagad Road, Wakad

The above list is in the order of the results achieved by them in 2021. Those institutes who haven’t displayed their results or do not train students for MHT CET or KVPY do not have the details of the results of these exams.
We hope this article gives you a clear overview of the various aspects to look for in a coaching class and which one will stand up to your expectations.
