Why Foundation Courses?	In today's world nothing can be achieved without fighting for it. Generally, preparation for IIT-JEE and PMT is considered to be a two year journey but seeing the changing trends, it is turning out to be a 3-4 year process. Nearly 7-9 lac students compete for about 7500 seats in IITs and 35 seats in AIIMS and with IITs restricting the number of attempts at IIT-JEE only to two, the competition has become much more intense than what a child faces in school. Students entering 11th feel immense pressure due to severe competitive nature of these examinations as well as sudden shift of curriculum from theory based to application based approach. The transition is not smooth as there is a huge gap between pre 10th and post 10th curriculum. Through Prefoundation (our foundation course for 9th & 10th) we help prepare a child to bridge the GAP between pre 10th and post 10th curriculum and strive for excellence at every stage.
