Achievements:
We are proud of the many achievements in
our 53 year history.
We have introduced many pioneering ideas & methodologies
to the Indian coaching scene. The very concept of imparting
additional coaching to bright & academically gifted
students can be attributed to Agrawal Classes. At a
time when taking tuitions was meant for "weak"
students and was a social stigma, Prof G D Agrawal bravely
introduced the scheme to coach "good" students
and made Agrawal Classes "Ideal for Scholars".
Many of the systems that are taken for granted now were
initiated by Agrawal Classes. The concept of "Vacation
Batches" i.e. asking a student to forego his School/College
Vacation and instead devote it for learning was our
creation. Having Air-conditioned classrooms in early
1960s was another such step.
In 1977 there were only a handful of Government institutions
in India offering correspondence courses, that too for
undergraduate studies. In that year, Agrawal Classes
introduced the path breaking "Correspondence Course
for IIT J.E.E." for students living outside Bombay.
It became a run-away success and in 17 years of its
operation (1977-1994) helped thousands of students across
India find a seat at I.I.Ts. In the early 1980's over
55% of students entering the I.I.Ts were our students.
The crowning glory was at the 1984 I.I.T. JEE when 84
of our students secured ranks within the first All India
100.
Agrawal Classes also gave birth to several entrepreneurs.
Many of its Professors branched out to start their own
institutions.
