Overview
Bansal Classes has expanded significantly beyond its original Kota base. They now have many branches across India. Each branch tries to replicate the teaching quality, infrastructure, and course offerings of the flagship center, but there are variations depending on the city, facilities, faculty availability, and student demand.
Below are some major branches, especially those relevant to Uttarakhand / nearby, and what you can expect in each.
Major Branch Locations
Here are some of the key Bansal Classes branches, followed by local ones (including Dehradun) with details.
Kota, Rajasthan (Flagship centre) | Bansal Tower, A-10, Road No.1, IPIA, Kota, Rajasthan. courses (2-year, 1-year, droppers etc.) are run here. High competition, good peer group. | ||
Aligarh, Akola, etc. | Mentioned among “offline centres” on the Bansal Classes website as “We’re Now in Your City – Visit Our Nearest Centres!” includes many cities including Aligarh, Akola. | These are smaller branches compared to Kota. They offer core coaching for IIT-JEE / NEET, perhaps not all courses that Kota has. Quality of infrastructure and faculty may vary. Good option if you are local and cannot relocate. | |
Chandigarh | Sector 34A, Chandigarh. | Newer branch. The branch offers both offline + onsite / online modes. It seems fees are quite high here (approaching or exceeding what Kota charges for comparable courses) which shows they try to replicate premium offerings. Students report rigorous testing, experienced faculty, but some concerns about pace and coverage in new branches. | |
Dehradun (Uttarakhand) | Several centres: Rajpur Road (Above Anandam Sweets, Bhel Chowk); GMS Road (MD Tower, near EPF Office); Jogiwala (Ring Road, Above ICICI Bank). | These branches aim to offer the “Kota standard” in your own city. They have the usual IIT-JEE & NEET courses, plus foundation / pre-foundation for classes VIII-X etc. Infrastructure is newer; likely smaller classroom sizes; fewer hostel facilities (many students stay locally); possibly fewer “dropper”-specialized courses but full test series, doubt sessions, etc. They're helpful for students who don’t want to move far. | |
Other Dehradun specific locations | Bansal Classes, Subhash Road, Dehradun — Anand Tower, behind gate of St. Joseph Academy. | Bansal Classes, Ballupur (Chakrata Road), Dehradun — Opposite Annandam Sweets. | These are more like tutorial-centres / local branches. They handle major competitive exam coaching, with mock tests, doubt classes, etc. Might have limited batches, potentially less of the extra amenities (like fully residential options) compared to Kota. But very accessible. |
What Differences You’ll Notice Among Branches
Here are typical differences you should check/expect when comparing branches:
- Batch Size & Student Density
- Flagship centres (like Kota) tend to have large batches. Local branches may maintain smaller batches, better teacher-student ratio (which can be helpful).
- Infrastructure & Amenities
- Kota centres often have hostel facilities, big library, special study rooms. <br> - Local branches may have good classrooms, air-conditioning, smart boards etc., but hostel support may be limited or none.
- Facilities like cafeteria, recreational areas, etc., are often better in big centres.
- Faculty Seniority & Rotation
- More experienced / senior teachers often are located in Kota or established branches. Newer branches may have good faculty, but sometimes less senior or newer. Over time branches aim to match standards.
- Course Options
- In Kota you’ll find full array: 2-year courses (Class XI → XII), droppers, short courses, crash courses, etc. <br> - In smaller branches, maybe only select courses are offered. E.g. foundation courses, 1-year packages, online/hybrid, maybe not every subject / stream.
- Also, “repeaters” (students taking a drop year) programs may be more concentrated in flagship.
- Fee Variation
- Expect variation: local branches tend to have somewhat lower ancillary costs (no hostel, less travel) but official fees may still be high for premium programs. Sometimes branches charge differently based on area/city. Chandigarh branch, for example, has fees that are comparable to Kota or more.
- Peer Environment & Competitive Pressure
- In Kota, the peer group is very large and competitive. Branches in smaller cities/local centres may have fewer students, which might reduce competition but also possibly more room for individual attention.
- Accessibility & Cost of Living
- Students outside Kota may prefer local branches to avoid moving, paying for lodging, etc. Dehradun branches provide that benefit.
Pros & Cons of Joining a Local Branch vs Flagship (Kota or Big City Branch)
Local / Dehradun / Small BranchFlagship / Kota / Older Big Branch | |
Pros: Easier to commute; lower accommodation/living costs; less disruption to personal life; maybe more personal attention. | Pros: Top infrastructure; more experienced senior faculty; extremely competitive peer group; standardized full offerings; often better track record / recognition. |
Cons: Possibly fewer course options; less experienced senior faculty; fewer hostel or 24-hour facilities; possibly slower pace or less rigorous in newer branches. | Cons: Higher cost; might require relocation; more pressure; sometimes less individual attention (because very large batches). |

What You Should Do If You’re Choosing a Branch (in Your City or Nearby)
Here are action-steps to decide well:
- Visit the branch physically. Check classroom size, teacher interaction, student feedback.
- Ask if they offer sample classes / trial lectures.
- Compare full costs: not just fee but travel, lodging if needed, study material, extra fees, etc.
- See alumni / past results from that specific branch (not just general “Bansal” brand).
- Check teacher profiles (how many senior teachers attached, experience).
- Understand schedule, test frequency, doubt sessions, how they handle weak students.
- Compare with other local coaching institutes to see value.
