How and when will the results of the entrance program/entrance test declared?
The results will be communicated within two days of the evaluation test to the student /parent over telephone. When we announce the result of any entrance program, we divide the students into 4 categories:
1) Students who have done reasonably well to get the champions batch, to begin with.
2) Students who have qualified comfortably but have not been allotted the champions batch in the beginning.
3) Students whose performance in the entrance was just satisfactory. These students can also join the challenger batch at BT provided they are mentally prepared to work extremely hard.
4) Students whose performance in the entrance was dissatisfactory. They cannot join Bakliwal Tutorials. No request for admission of these students will be entertained.

How are the Class Room sessions conducted?
At BT every class is a learning experience. Students are encouraged to express opinions and ask questions. The faculty is friendly, approachable and keen to clarify and help you find answers. The sessions are thus interactive and lively.

Where are the classes of BT held?
Classes are held in Aundh, Camp, Corporation, Paud Road, Wanowrie, PCMC and Viman Nagar

BT holds classes at multiple Locations, Is the teaching method different at different locations?
Unlike other coaching classes which have 1 or 2 ‘good’ teachers, every faculty at BT is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about teaching. Almost all the teachers are a bunch of extremely proud IITians. We provide the same study material, conduct the same tests at the same time and fundamentally use the same teaching methodology.

At BT is there a special batch for bright students?
We do have merit based Batches for fast learners which is called the Champions batch. It is a proven fact that when students study with approximately same intelligence level, they are able to learn more and even the teachers are able to plan their lecture well. This also creates a competition among the students

At BT while preparing for IIT JEE, does the student also get prepared for AIEEE/CET/BITSAT/other entrances, CBSE/ICSE/HSC boards, etc.?
The general notion is that IIT-JEE is a difficult exam and questions are complex and tough. On the contrary, the test emphasizes on nothing but fundamentals. We at BT teach the basic concepts so well that the subject becomes easy and interesting. This also helps students to conquer Boards and other competitive exams.

How is BT geared up for National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) instead of IIT-JEE, AIEEE and CET?
The faculty at BT is strong, flexible and experienced to dynamically modify the course plan to meet the new challenge with the help of strong systems and mock exams.

Why same course for 8th and 9th students?
1) The way teaching at BT happens is very different from the way it happens at schools. Here, though we teach topics from scratch, we add a lot of value even to those students who have studied these topics before at school.
2) As the selection is merit wise, it really does not matter which class the student is from.
3) For outstanding students, there is always the ‘champions’ batch. Our past experience says even the ‘champions’ batch (selection to which is strictly merit wise) will be a fair mix of 8th and 9th std. students.
