How are you better than the other classes? Past achievements?
As they say, “History speaks for itself”, the past achievements would give you a good picture about the reputation of the institute, and would also tell you what extra efforts the institute put in to achieve it.
Batch timings? Is there a rigid attendance system to ensure students attend diligently? Is rescheduling possible in case one session is missed?
An important question as students usually join coaching when they are in school/college and often timings of the coaching centre and other private tuition timings clash or due to various personal reasons students may miss classes. Usually a good coaching institute will reschedule a class, but do ask whether the class will be arranged on a day decided by them or as per your convenience. A rigid attendance often doesn’t allow those rare mischievous students to bunk classes and institutes should provide attendance details to parents, if needed.
Do you offer Demo or Trial class before joining?
A good coaching institute usually offers 3-4 demo/ trial classes to students. Just make sure that you select the subject and time of the class so that you get an independent assessment of the quality of teaching. That way the institute cannot plan to impress you with some lecture by their best faculty member, which may not be the case with their other classes.
What’s the batch size? Will I get personal attention?
An average batch size could be min. 18-22 and max. 25-30. The smaller the batch, the more personal attention you will get.
