History
of Agrawal Classes:
Prof. G.D. Agrawal launched this coaching
institute in 1953 by the name "Agrawal Mathematics
Tutorials", from his residence at Matunga.
In the initial 7 to 8 years, the coaching was only for
Maths of the Inter Arts/Science of Bombay University,
by the lone teacher - Prof. G D Agrawal.
Within 4 years, Agrawal students started securing top-most
ranks. In 1958, its student, Joshi Vijay stood First
at Bombay University's Inter exams and in 1959, Koppikar
Vivek created history by scoring 200/200 marks in Maths
at the Inter Science University exam.
The initial success of its students encouraged more
students to enrol. The institution became "Agrawal
Classes" and moved to Har Ganga Mahal, Dadar T.T.
in 1961.
When Agrawal Classes started coaching for I.I.T.JEE
to Bombay students in 1962, their student, V D Hattangadi,
secured the most enviable ALL India Rank ONE in the
maiden year itself. The departments of Physics, Chemistry
and English were added for the purpose of I.I.T. JEE
coaching.
1976 saw the shift from 11+4 to 10+2+3 system of education
for a bachelor's degree and thus HSC board Class XII
became the deciding year for admission to institutes
of higher learning. Here again our student Raja N.S.
stood first at the 1977 maiden HSC Board exams.
Similarly when MH CET & engineering CET were introduced
in 1999 & 2004 respectively for entrance to medical
& engineering colleges in Maharashtra, we offered
coaching for it and have produced top results.
