Dear Student, At the very outset I must admit that ours is a business organization. It is a private institution without getting any funding from the government or any other funding agency. We have to raise our own resources for running and developing the organization. And there are already many private institutes engaged in this activity of coaching for IIT-JEE. So, what is the relevance of a new institute in this field? It may sound contradictory that on the one hand I feel that the usual prevalent coaching in the society is many a time detrimental to the growth of the students’ academic calibre, while on the other we are ourselves engaged in the activity of coaching, and with the full confidence that we are going to do a “business with morality”. Most of the coaching institutes give this impression to the students that they possess certain secrets/tricks which they can pass on to the students if they get enrolled in their organization. They also give the impression that they alone know what the students should be taught and what they should not be taught; and they discourage the students from asking questions of their own and advise them to strictly adhere to what they are taught. However, I hold the opinion that there is no secret of improving the academic competence of a person other than learning the concepts by his/her own efforts, one by one, unambiguously and systematically. Of course, there are certain obvious things like time management in the examination hall and time management before appearing for the examination, but that too can be done by the student’s own initiative and practice. The basic fact is that an individual can grow primarily by his/her own efforts and not by simply listening to some lectures. So, enrolment in any coaching institute of the world cannot be a substitute for hard work and practice on the part of the student. Basically, a person attains the growth of his/her mind when he or she struggles to find the solution to a problem which he or she is finding difficult to solve. So, I advise you to perspire for hours and days on several occasions, if not at a stretch, before you take the help of some expert. A good coaching institute should be a good guide to her students under such situations. And we aim at becoming one such organization, where priority will be given to clearing the doubts and solving the problems raised by the students rather than compelling them to simply follow what we have to offer. There is a very simple reason why the coaching institutes generally discourage the students from raising their own doubts and ask the students to simply follow what is taught in the class: the teachers themselves do not know the subject-matter thoroughly; they fear that they will not be able to solve the problems which they have not practised before coming to the class; they fear that the shallowness of their knowledge will be exposed if they are asked some new problem. Of course, there is nothing wrong if a teacher accepts that he is not in a position to do a problem quickly in the class, and he simply gives the guidelines by which he would like to try to solve the problem and postpones the actual solution to some later class. But such situations should not be very frequent for any teacher to be able to teach confidently. The usual coaching institutes do not allow the students to ask whatever problems they have because in such a situation such embarrassing situations will become a recurring feature rather than an exception. So, a teacher in a normal coaching institute usually prepares a few selected problems for the class, and asks the students to simply follow what he wants to teach (which is what he has prepared). It is well-known that in the IIT-JEE examination, they usually ask fresh problems, problems which are neither mere repetition of the previously asked questions nor frequently asked questions with simple changes in the numerical values of the data. They ask questions with some newness in it. So it is ironical how the institutes, claiming to prepare the students for IIT-JEE, discourage them from raising new questions of their choice. So, the situation in the normal IIT-JEE coaching institutes is that the teachers, who are themselves not capable of solving new/unseen problems, are coaching the students to prepare for an examination where they will be required to solve fresh problems. The situation is like that because the coaching institutes are simply interested in making money. They spend crores of rupees on advertising, attract the students and earn money. Many students do feel cheated after getting admission to the coaching institutes. But they have no way out. They have already made the full payment and no coaching institute in this country, to our knowledge, gives the freedom to the students to get a refund if they are not satisfied with the teaching in the respective coaching institute and if they want to withdraw from that coaching institute. So the students feel entrapped and helpless. We are taking the bold step to refund the money for the remaining period if a student wants to withdraw from our institute at any point of time. Obviously, we need to keep a very, very competent group of teachers in such a situation because we alone will be the losers otherwise. Accordingly, we are willing to pay a high salary to the teachers and only those teachers will be taking classes in our institute whose teaching ability and knowledge is beyond doubt for us. We have a very high standard for the selection of the teachers. Normally, a teacher will be allowed to teach students in our institute only after he is able to deliver lectures of high standard before experts on each and every chapter of the subject he or she is going to teach. We are so particular about the standard of the teachers because we feel that the students can get benefited if and only if the teachers teaching in the institute have a sound knowledge of the subject. Otherwise, they will simply misguide and confuse the students, laying a weak foundation for the student’s career. Some existing coaching institutes rely upon the teachers who can get them a good feedback from the students whom the particular teacher is teaching, not caring at all what is the real level of competence of the teacher. In such a situation the teachers are tempted to cheat the students by adopting skills by which they can wrongly impress the students. But we have adopted a policy where the teachers have to deliver lectures and answer various questions raised by an expert group on each and every chapter before any teacher is allowed to teach. It is a well-known fact that heat flows from a body at higher temperature to a body at lower temperature under normal circumstances. Similarly, a student can get benefited from a teacher only if the teacher is more knowledgeable than the student. So, dear students, have faith in your own efforts and hard labour. Do not feel shy in clearing your doubts from the teachers, more so when you are attending the class in any coaching institute. Remember the teacher is not obliging you by answering your questions. You have paid a high fee for that. So it is a matter of right for you to get your doubts cleared. With good wishes Yours sincerely (Shyam Rudra Pathak) Managing Director Yogyata Samvardhan Sansthan Institute Yogyata Samvardhan Sansthan (YSS) is located at E-138, Sector 20, Noida. Noida enjoys most of the facilities of Delhi and yet it is free from the congestion usually found in most of the localities of Delhi. It is well-connected by roads with Delhi. Buses take about one hour to reach Noida from the New Delhi Railway Station. The road map shown below can be helpful to you. Classes will be held in a nearby school building. Classes are well equipped with all necessary amenities. There will be a maximum of 35 students in a class/batch, so that teachers can pay proper attention to the students. Attempts will be made to have even lesser number of students in a class if possible. In our Institute the number of students to be enrolled depends on the number of competent teachers we have with us, and not the other way round that as many people are recruited as teachers as are required by the number of enrolled students. Our present strength of teachers allows us to take at most five batches of 35 students each. Thus at present we have only 175 seats available for the aspirants of JEE-2002/2003. So, we shall take admission after tests because it would be the best method to do justice to all the aspirants who are interested in taking admission in our institute. If we find additional competent teachers in near future, more vacancies for the enrolment of students will be announced later. Faculty Teachers’ selection is of utmost concern to us. We are very particular in selecting competent teachers who should be able to solve IIT-JEE type new/unseen problems. We also check their communication skill, so that they can easily convey the intended things to the students. The selection procedure for teachers not known to us is intended to check their calibre and teaching skill. They are required to appear in three types of test of a total of 9 hours duration. The tests are conducted in three different stages-written test, model lecture and academic interview. After selection, the teachers are given rigorous training of two months. During the training period they are required to learn all the basic fundamentals of the subject-matter and to solve and create new problems, to give lecture in classes, to interact with students etc. Each teacher is required to deliver a demonstration lecture on each chapter is front of MD Sri Shyam Rudra Pathak before he takes class on that chapter. This is to ensure justice to the students who take admission in a coaching institute with certain expectations at a high fee. A brief introduction of our present teachers is being given below. 1. Sri Shyam Rudra Pathak: · Got silver medal from Bihar Board in 1979 when he passed 10th from Netarhat Vidyalaya. · He qualified IIT-JEE in first attempt (when he was in class XI) in 1980. He did 5-year integrated MS Physics course from IIT-Delhi on that basis. · In 1985, he got all India first rank with 99.89 percentile score in GATE. · After that he did M.Tech. in Energy studies from IIT-Delhi, in which his CGPA (cumulative grade point average) was 9.25 on the 10-point scale. · He got CSIR Fellowship in first attempt. · He got Senior Research fellowship from IIT-Delhi. · He got all India first rank in Research Scholars’ written entrance test of TIFR-Bombay in 1991. · He got all India first rank in written exam of Research Scholars’ Joint Entrance Test of NCRA and IUCAA. He did research work in Astrophysics from TIFR Bombay and TIFR Pune. · He worked as a Physics Faculty in FIITJEE, Delhi from January 2000 to December 2000. 2. Dr. Manoj Kumar Pillai A topper of the West Bengal Board (1982) in class X, he passed class XII with 2nd rank in West Bengal, did his B.Sc. (H) in Physics from Calcutta University and M.Sc. (Physics) from IIT, Kanpur with distinction. He also did his research in Physics at the University of Rochester in the US. He worked as a lecturer in S.B. Residential PU College, Karnataka, and then he taught as Associate Professor in Physics in FIITJEE Ltd. 3. Ashish Kumar · He did his 10th from Netarhat Vidyalaya, Bihar (1992). · He did 12th from Science College, Patna in 1994. · He qualified IIT-JEE in his first attempt in 1994. But he did not join IITs and opted for B. Sc. (H) from Delhi University. · He also did his M. Sc. from Delhi University. 4. Dr. K. Prasad Dr. K. Prasad has recently superannuated as Professor of Chemistry. He has several research publication to his credit and has guided persons for their Ph. D. degrees. He has been teaching from Intermediate to M.Sc. level for the last four decades. He has also been attached to coaching for engineering and medical entrance test. Scholarships We offer attractive scholarships for brilliant students. We have two types of scholarship which are given at two different stages. (i) At the time of admission: Students for the limited number of seats are selected through an objective-type entrance test. For the students who have got admission to YSS, there is a scholarship test just after their admission. This scholarship test might contain both subjective as well as objective papers. On the basis of this scholarship test, 10% of the students seeking admission are granted full scholarship (i.e. no fee is charged from them); but one will not be exempted from the hostel fees, if he or she opts to stay in the YSS hostel. So, the fees paid by those 10% of the students will be returned in the beginning of the course itself just after the scholarship test. (ii) During course study: The entire JEE syllabus has been divided into various units. In each unit there will be some tests. In each batch of 35 students first five rankers will be awarded some scholarship which will be as follows: 1st position holder - 100% refund of the fee charged from a student for the lectures allotted for that unit. 2nd position holder - 80% refund of the fee charged from a student for the lectures allotted for that unit. 3rd position holder - 60% refund of the fee charged from a student for the lectures allotted for that unit. 4th position holder - 40% refund of the fee charged from a student for the lectures allotted for that unit. 5th position holder - 20% refund of the fee charged from a student for the lectures allotted for that unit. Important Note: If a student manages to get a rank among the top 10% of the students seeking admission to YSS and also gets first/second/third/fourth/fifth rank in all the unit tests in his batch then he not only gets free education in YSS but also manages to earn 100%/80%/60%/40%/20% of the fee charged from a student in his/her batch. If a student does not get a rank among the top 10% of the students seeking admission to YSS but manages to get first/second/third/fourth/fifth rank in the unit tests in his batch of 35 students, then also he gets 100%, 80%, 60%, 40% and 20% refund of the fee paid to YSS by him. Obviously, these scholarships are restricted to education fees; hostel fees will not be included in the prize irrespective of whether the student stays in the hostel or not. Refund of Fee If you are not satisfied with the quality of teaching in our Institute, you can take full refund of fees paid by you to our Institute for the remaining period. This is a unique facility which is not provided by any other institute in the world to our knowledge. This offer shows our confidence in our standard of teaching and our utmost care in quality control. We have kept this provision because we firmly believe that education should not be exploited as a profession of cheating. We have sufficient experience to believe that a large number of students feel entrapped after joining famous coaching institutes on the basis of projected image of the institute through big advertisements. Refund Rules are as follows: (i) Refund will be made for the remaining classes only. Institute will deduct the fee for the classes held till the date of submission of the refund application in writing to the Managing Director. The exact refund amount will be: where No. of remaining teaching hours = No. of teaching hours promised - No. of hours of classes held till date of submission of the refund application in writing to the Managing Director. So, the refund amount is also equal to (1 - A/B) ´ (Total fee paid by the student seeking refund) A = No. of hours of classes held till the date of submission of refund application B = No. of teaching hours promised Note: Calculation of the remaining hours for refund purposes will be considered from the date you submit the application for refund in writing to MD in person. Mere absence from classes does not entitle you for getting any refund. (ii) Money will be refunded only by a cheque issued in favour of the candidate’s father’s or mother’s name. In no case will the money be paid to the student in cash. Personal Care Besides the normal lectures (as lecture classes and tutorial classes), we shall arrange special tutorial classes or special doubt removal sessions for the students who want/need additional consultation hours. We will maintain separate file for individual students to monitor their individual progress in the assignments/exercises given for practice. The students are encouraged to clear their doubts in tutorial classes, but they are not stopped from asking questions in normal lecture classes as well. Termination of Student’s Coaching Facility The Institute has the right to terminate any student from any course in any of the following conditions: 1. If the student is found non-serious in his studies and simply wasting the parents’ money. 2. If a student is creating disturbance in the class intentionally, in the opinion of the teacher concerned. 3. If a student is involved in any other activity which creates difficulty for the institute or which tarnishes the image of the institute. Full money for the remaining classes will be refunded if any student is terminated from any course by the institute. The refund of money will be by cheque in the name of his father or mother. Note: In case of a student opting to withdraw from YSS, or in case of a student being expelled by YSS, the calculation of the fee amount to be returned to the student will be based only on the hours of lecture as promised by YSS. There will be no importance attached to the various other services which YSS provides free of cost (like various tests including AITS and additional coaching after screening test) to the enrolled students of YSS. Obviously, if a student gets admission with full scholarship then he will be entitled to no refund, in case he decides to withdraw from the YSS coaching or if YSS decides to expel him because of some reason. Hostel Facility Hostel accommodation will be available for the interested students. It will provide them an appropriate environment for the IIT-JEE preparation. Students can benefit as much from interaction with other serious students as they can from classroom teaching. Special care will be taken to maintain hygiene and to create a peaceful environment for studies in the hostel. We can provide hostel exclusively for girls if there is a sufficient number of aspirants. Otherwise we will arrange for paying guest accomodation with personally known good families. Hostel expenditure, which comes out to approximately Rs 3200 (three thousand two hundred) per month for lodging & food, has to be paid by the students, who opt to stay in the hostel. However, staying in the institute hostel is not compulsory for the students. Hostels are run on a no-profit-no-loss basis by the institute. Students desirous of availing hostel facilities are required to deposit a sum of Rs 6000 as caution money which will be refunded after completion of course or can be adjusted in hostel fee at the end of the course. In case a student makes any damage to institute property, the amount equivalent to that damaged property will be deducted from his caution money. Hostel Fee (whatever it comes to) should be deposited before 10th of every month (in case payment is not made in advance) by Demand Draft drawn in favour of YOGYATA SAMVARDHAN SANSTHAN (P) Ltd. payable at Delhi. In case a student is found to create disturbance to the studies of other student in any manner, the student may be removed from the hostel. Branches of YSS We have no other branch for regular classroom teaching. However, we have many test centres throughout the country for conducting various tests (like Admission test, AITS etc). Medium of Coaching We offer the option to the students of getting the classroom coaching either in Hindi or in English. So, the students opting to appear in JEE through Hindi medium can opt to be taught in Hindi medium. However, there will be separate batches for Hindi medium students and Egnlish medium students. Even for the students opting to appear in JEE through English medium, there is an option of getting coaching either purely in English medium or in mixed Hindi and English medium, where the technical terms are told in English only but the students can be explained the facts both in English and Hindi or mostly in Hindi as desired by the students. We believe that the medium of teaching should not be a hindrance in understanding the underlying concepts for the students, and there is no unique medium of teaching which can be equally suitable for all the students. About IIT-JEE There are 6 IITs in India. Entrance Test for all IITs, IT-BHU and ISM-Dhanbad are combined together by the name Joint Entrance Exam (JEE). JEE is considered to be one of the toughest exams in the world. The questions asked in the tests are never repeated or picked up from guides or books. So, an institute or a teacher is good only if he/she has the potential to solve/create unseen problems and can make you able to solve such problems also. So for doing well in this exam you should try to understand the basic concepts clearly. From JEE 2000 a new pattern has been introduced. Now, this exam consists of two stages. Stage I: It has a Screening Test of 3 hours’ duration containing approximately 105 objective questions (35 each in Phy/Chem/Math) with equal weightage in all the three subjects. It is conducted generally on second Sunday of December every year. About 20,000 students are selected in this stage. Stage II: The Main Examination is conducted on 1st or 2nd Sunday of May in the following year. Main examination will have 3 sessions of 2 hrs. each on Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Only those candidates who qualify in the Screening Test are allowed to appear in the Main Examination. The Main Examination will have conventional (non-objective) questions to be answered in the answer-book supplied. Finally, about 3200 students are selected on the basis of their performance in Main Exam only. Question papers will be provided to a candidate in either Hindi or English, according to his or her choice, as filled in the application form by the candidate. The candidates are permitted to write the Main Examination in any one of the following languages: Assamese, Bengali, English, Gujarati, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Only one application is to be submitted for both the examinations; and there is no separate fee for the Main Examination. To succeed in both the stages you need to (1) develop your fundamental knowledge of the subjects; identify your mistakes so that you do not commit them in the examination hall. (2) develop your ability to comprehend new problems. (3) remove your fear psychosis that deters you from solving new/unseen problems. In case you have shortage of time for preparation then you should try to make use of your strength rather than being afraid of your weaknesses. It is our experience that one can get selected even if one has not studied all chapters of syllabus. Quality of your knowledge is more important than quantity of coverage of JEE syllabus. Lastly, you must take several JEE-level model tests before actually appearing in JEE. So, we lay special emphasis on conducting various tests from time to time so that the students are properly equiped to face JEE. Utility of a Coaching Institute Honestly speaking, you don’t need to enrol yourself in any coaching institute if you are capable of doing serious study on your own. However, in case you don’t have access to competent teachers who can guide you whenever you are in doubt, then a coaching institute having competent teachers can be of use. We would like to bring to your notice that at present the grim reality is that usually the teachers teaching in most of the coaching institutes are themselves not capable of solving unseen/fresh JEE problems and quite often they lack the basic understanding of the subject-matter. So taking coaching in just any institute can be damaging to your career and may lay a very weak foundation for your academic growth. It not only spoils your precious time and money but also creates confusion in your own understanding. So, you should not be simply misled by the name, claim and fame created by big advertisements of any coaching institute. You should try to find out through all available means about the academic calibre of the teachers working in the coaching institute concerned. So many institutes are running their business with so-called qualified teachers who always try to avoid unseen new problems. They teach and solve only those problems which have been collected in their material for years and which they have solved several times beforehand. They don’t allow you to ask questions from outside the material. What is the use of such classes where your problems remain unattended!! YSS is very particular in this respect. You are free to ask any question from JEE syllabus in the lecture and tutorial classes. We are always willing to accept them. A good coaching institute should be useful to you in the following ways: (1) It should give you basic clarity of the theoretical understanding of all topics within the JEE syllabus in a short interval of time. (2) It should guide you whenever you get stuck in solving the problems in spite of making efforts more than once on your part. (3) It should give you adequate practice of appearing in JEE-like examinations. (4) It should give you a proper environment conducive to serious preparation for JEE. (5) It can be useful if you can learn the concepts quicker by listening to the lecture delivered by some knowledgeable teacher. Your gain from a good institute would mean an improvement in your rank. A difference of even a few marks can alter your rank appreciably because the number of students are large and the full marks is only 300. So, all students have to get marks in a narrow range and there can be many students getting the same marks.

All refunds will be adjusted pro rata according to the amount paid and the hours promised. 2. All the services/facilities provided free of cost to the students of other classroom programmes will also be given to students of 200-hr screening-oriented programme. The students of 200-hr mains-oriented programme will receive all the services/facilities provided free of cost to the students of other classroom programmes, free of cost, except for the fact that they will not get additional 100-hr free coaching after the Screening Test as promised to the students of other classroom programmes. 3. We may not hold admission test on all the above advertised dates because we restrict the number of student enrolments strictly on the basis of the competent teachers available to us. All India Test Series (AITS) Knowledge is a bit different from performance in any examination. In spite of good preparation your result may not be satisfactory due to lack of strategic skill of transforming knowledge into performance. So you must learn to make the best use of your knowledge during examination. This can be done only by exam-like practice. Keeping these things in view, YSS conducts All India Test Series. In the AITS tests most of the questions will be original/unseen/new and appropriately set at JEE level. With the help of YSS-AITS you will be able to check your real level of preparation and you will also be able to find your faults which you should not repeat in the examination. Admission is open to all at all times. AITS (Screening only) A total of six JEE-like screening tests will be conducted by YSS at its test centres starting in Oct 2001 for JEE-2002 aspirants. Fee: Non-refundable sum of Rs. 1000/- (Rs 750/- after inaugural year discount). Date of admission: Open to all at all times. AITS (Mains only) A total of five JEE-Mains-like tests will be offered by YSS at its test centres starting in Feb 2002 for JEE-2002 aspirants. Fee: Non-refundable sum of Rs. 1330/- (Rs 1000/- after inaugural year discount). Date of admission: Open to all at all times. Note: If a candidate wishes to register for AITS (screening) and AITS (mains) together then the fee is a sum of Rs. 2130/- (Rs. 1600/- after inaugural year discount) for both mains & screening tests. AITS (Optional) Under this scheme you may opt for one, two or more tests separately. Fee: Rs. 200 (Rs. 150 after inaugural year discount) per screening test.
