The teachers are highly qualified, who impart instructions & training to the students using latest methods including audio, video & online classes. Our Institute is affiliated to CBSE. Ever since our students started appearing in 10th & 12th Board examinations about 25 years back, our results have been 100% Ist division with no failures. Our students have also performed exceedingly well in sports & other fields.
