Amidst umpteen JEE Coaching Classes in Pune, two names are very well-known among the JEE aspirants- Bakliwal Tutorials and M Prakash.
As it goes unsaid, results is the true representation of the training imparted in the coaching classes and ultimately good results is what everyone is aiming for. M Prakash and Bakliwal Tutorials are the most sought after JEE Coaching Classes in Pune for their excellent results.
M. Prakash Institute was founded by Prof. M. Prakash in 2002 whereas Bakliwal Tutorials was established in April 2005 by Mr Vaibhav Bakliwal.
This year till phase 3 of JEE Mains 2021, 9 out of the top 10 Pune rankers are from Bakliwal Tutorials and 1 is from M Prakash. Since the results were primarily dominated by Bakliwal Tutorials followed by M Prakash, we have made a detailed comparison between the two.
Selection Procedure
For admissions in MPrakash institute, every year about 800 students appear for the selection test of VIII std and about 700 students appear for the selection test of XI std. Out of which 240 in VIII std and 40 in XI std get admission in the institute. The selection test of M Prakash Institute is a tough exam and tests the prior knowledge and thinking abilities of students. To score very/pretty high in the entrance exam you need to know advanced geometry and trigonometry. M Prakash handpicks its students and chooses the ones who have performed exceptionally well and are academically brilliant.
The entrance exam at Bakliwal Tutorials is also difficult and it is at par with the JEE but undertakes a very different and unique approach. Vaibhav sir teaches a topic to students and then a test based on that lecture is conducted. This test measures problem solving and grasping abilities of the students. Based on the performance the students are given admission. Students are then selected to take admission in various batches in Bakliwal Tutorials based on their merit in the entrance examination.
Teaching Methodology
Bakliwal Tutorials is fully committed to preparing the students for JEE, BITSAT, MHT-CET and other engineering competitive examinations. MPrakash Institute is committed to having students attain the genius required for IMO. The major focus is on Maths rather than PCM at MPrakash Institute.
BT focuses on conceptual understanding and problem-solving techniques for all subjects equally which prepares students for all competitive examinations. More than 90 per cent of the teachers at Bakliwal Tutorials are IITians and the remaining are from equivalent well-known universities and colleges in India.
Most importantly, the reason MPrakash was known for, M Prakash sir who does not take classes any longer. He is not involved in the academics of the institute anymore. Post his exit the quality of teaching has degraded as the current teachers are not as experienced and enthusiastic as him.
