Whose DLP is better for JEE preparation: Kaysons or Vibrant, Careerpoint or FIIT JEE?

JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) is arguably the toughest examination in the country granting access to crème da le crème i.e., the best engineering institutes of the country, IITs (Indian Institute of Technology), NITs (National Institute of Technology), IIITs (International Institute of Information Technology) and other CFTIs (Centrally Funded Technical Institutions). Along with this, it also serves entry into many other premium institutions.

JEE is divided into two phases Main and Advanced with the later providing admission in IITs and the former for the rest. The slant selection percentage and the huge amount of competition every year have left no scope for the students to slack but to bring their best game. There are plenty of coaching institutes in the industry both global and local with the sole aim to serve to this cause and help the students fulfill their ambition. It is thus, important to bring into notice some coaching institutes and compare them to help the student steer clear and achieve success with the right kind of assistance.

This article discusses the best distance learning programs of both e-learning/online coaching platforms and traditional coaching alike to help provide a clear view. The aim is to find a solution for different groups as well as for the mass & enable them to make better decisions to safeguard their future.

FIITJEE

FIITJEE was created in 1992 by the vision and toil of Mr. D. K. Goel, a Mechanical Engineering Graduate from IIT Delhi. It had a very humble beginning as a forum for IIT-JEE, with a vision to provide an ideal launch pad for serious JEE aspirants. Along the way to the realization of this vision, it has garnered massive success with the vision to make a difference in the thought process of a student.

The entire DLP of FIITJEE is available in the Ideal Correspondence Course Package. The package contains Comprehensive Study Material, Computer-Based All India Integrated Test Series, Concept Strengthening Classroom Program of about 66 hours, Phase Tests & Problem Package, and my PAT Online Test Series. The entire package is very well made for students who remain in the top section of their batch. The entire package costs around Rs. 29,200.

VIBRANT

Vibrant Academy is a cram school in Kota, Rajasthan, which was co-founded in 2010 by Mr. Jain, alumni of BITS Pilani and Mr. Neel Kamal Sethi of IIT Kharagpur (Hons.) to coach aspiring engineers for engineering entrance examinations JEE, and other state-level competitive exams. It delivers comprehensive solutions to the masses in order to succeed in their respective fields and cope up with the modern challenges.

The entire Vibrant Combo Pack for JEE Main and Advanced contains study material package, solutions in PDF, Question Bank cum Revision Package of PCM in 2 parts for a cost of Rs. 15,000. It’s Online Test Series comes at a cost of Rs. 5500.

CAREERPOINT

Founded in 1993 by IIT Delhi alumnus and physics teacher, Mr. Pramod Maheshwari, CareerPoint had started from a humble beginning to coach tens of thousands now. It’s vision is to exemplify excellence and leadership In education. It is vested in the mission to aim to define, and continually refine, the absolute standard of excellence in the area of academics.

Careerpoint has a slightly segregated mode of distributing it’s distance learning program. The Video Lectures & Online Test Series together comes at a cost of Rs. 20,000. The study material package costs Rs. 9500. The All India Test Series and Online Test Series together comes at a cost of Rs. 8000. The Ranker’s package for top notch preparation costs around Rs. 3,000. However it has the provision for the subscription of free Daily Practice Papers. All the features combined together costs around Rs.40,500.

KAYSONS

Established in 2009, Kaysons Education started with an objective to provide detailed, comprehensive guidance to students aspiring for different competitive examinations across India. With the use of cutting edge technology, expert guidance and online support, its aim has been to guide students all over India, while reaching out to students in the remote corners of the country. It accomplishes all the above with the help of solutions not offered elsewhere such as doubt clearance and complete support with tier-base levels.

Kaysons’ IIT JEE 2021 DLP program contains the benefits of Video Lectures (360 Hours), Test Series with Computer Based Tests, Question Bank (30,000 questions with solution), Doubt Clearing, Study Material, Ranker’s Level and Make Me IITian. The entire package comes at a cost of Rs. 20,000 in USB and SD card mode while getting the above features in a tablet costs Rs. 25,000. The price along with the complete support makes it one of the best solutions.

With all the features brought into the scenario, we can see that the cost moves from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 40,000 with provision of different features. As offline coaching institutes FIITJEE and VIBRANT has a lot more to offer than CAREERPOINT and are better in terms of performance. However VIBRANT’s distance learning package lags behind in terms of an All India Test Series essential for mock preparation, doubt clearance and daily practice papers.

Doubt clearance remains a problem not met with a solution in all the three traditional coaching institutes. Video Lectures have been introduced by CAREERPOINT but all the features combined cost around Rs. 40,000 with doubt clearance as a visible problem. FIITJEE has the best all-round package along with Kaysons covering concepts till revision, even going to the length of introducing concept strengthening course which is a major plus. All of it costs around 30,000 without video lectures and doubt clearance.

The reason Kaysons has been able to come up with a comprehensive solution is because of its focus. Others have the offline domain to manage and hence falls short of certain features which are covered by their classroom teaching. But while enrolling a distance learning program, it of huge importance to clear doubts or else the doubts pile up and demotivates the students causing frequent burnouts.

Kaysons has managed to cater to the need at an affordable price and is in constant improvement which shall lead to the student getting acquainted with the format of the exam and scoring better. The need of every student is distinct and their ability to attain resources as well.

The discussion is out in the open for the students to reap benefits from and aims at making a neutral judgement to find out the best DLP for JEE Main & JEE Advanced.

How does Kaysons compare to Aakash, Bansal and VMC in DLP?

The competition to grab a seat in the most coveted engineering institute of India is on an upsurge and the toil and struggle to crack the examination JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) to enter into IITs, IIITs, NITs and other CFTIs have seen an uprise. With a dramatic increase in competition, the education served in the school level proves to be insufficient and enrolment into a coaching institution seems like the best choice. In such an environment, there is strict importance to assess the quality of material so that students can judge and employ it to grab the best among the study material. We have Kaysons in the race of best distance learning program along with Aakash, Bansal and VMC. While Kayson chiefly differs from the rest three in terms of being a total e-learning environment, it’s feature manages to be comprehensive and incorporate new-age technology and has made it a popular choice. It is however important for the discussion to be out for everyone and allow the decision to be taken in an unbiased manner rather than putting one over other without substantial proof.

Aakash is a coaching institute founded in the year 1988 to train young and budding talent, aspiring to crack the toughest of Medical Entrance Exams. However, Aakash IIT-JEE was found much later in 2007 and is continuing to meet its vision of ‘adroit management’, ‘proficient teaching methodology’, and ‘result-oriented approach’.

Its e-learning platform manages to provide Study Material Package with special question bans, Live Online Classes (recording available), Online Test with Modular Analysis, All India Test Series, Quick Doubt Clarification, Online Parent-Teacher Meeting. The above feature makes it eligible for a total solution covering study materials, doubt clearance and problem-solving. However, the total package comes at an exorbitant price over Rs. 1 Lakh which is pretty high for students with financial constraints. Along with this constraint, Aakash is now known to be a major player in the engineering industry and thus poses a question on its ability to compete with the rest. Its DLP program comes at a cost of Rs. 19740 which contains study materials, test series and unique question banks. However, it lacks all the other features which are quite insufficient for jee preparation.

Bansal is known to be the first coaching institute in the mecca of coaching hub Kota. Founded in 1991 by Vinod Bansal, it had emerged to be the primary focus of all students. However, with time, it has faced stiff competition from other organizations and no more enjoys the top position.

Bansal’s distance learning program contains the fundamental study materials, master problem package, final step package for revision and final touch and Bansal All India Test Series at the centre. All the benefits come at a cost of Rs. 22,990 but manages to miss out the essential doubt clearance. The lack of doubt clearance coupled with the difficulty in comprehending the study modules prove to be a clear hindrance for the students.

Founded in 1989 by IIT-Delhi alumnus Brij Mohan Gupta, VMC has grown over the years providing quality education, allowing the students to explore their own potential and helping them to fulfill their dream of getting into the prestigious institutions.

VMC’s premium course – IIT JEE Correspondence emphasizes mostly on self-study. The package contains study materials, over 150 hours of video lectures, Test Series at centres, Online Assessment & Practice and Booster Classroom Courses over 60 hours for the final preparation stage. VMC has managed to put the important elements together in a comprehensive manner priced at an affordable Rs. 25,000. The cost coupled with the emphasis on self-study and video modules makes it a reasonable choice. However, the lack of doubt clearance as mentioned earlier can still cause trouble and distress disrupting the preparation. VMC’s e-learning initiative known as “FlipLearn”, while comprehensive comes at a cost of Rs. 84,500 to 1,30,000 for live classes and recorded lectures respectively.

Established in 2009, Kaysons Education started with an objective to provide detailed, comprehensive guidance to students aspiring for different competitive examinations across India. With the use of cutting edge technology, expert guidance and online support, it’s aim has been to guide students all over India, while reaching out to students in the remote corners of the country. It accomplishes all of the above with the help of solutions not offered elsewhere such as doubt clearance and complete support with tier-based level education delivery.

Kaysons’ IIT JEE 2021 DLP program contains the benefits of Video Lectures (360 Hours), Test Series with Computer-Based Tests, Question Bank (30,000 questions with solution), Doubt Clearing, Study Material, Ranker’s Level and Make Me IITian. The entire package comes at a cost of Rs. 20,000 in USB and SD card mode while getting the above features in a tablet costs Rs. 25,000. The price along with the complete support makes it one of the best solutions.

Only two of the above four, VMC and Kaysons has managed to put video lectures at an affordable cost and are comprehensive in manner. But, Kaysons brushes past VMC in terms of doubt-clearance which becomes decisive during the tough phases of the preparation which are plenty. While rest institutions are impressive in terms of offline-coaching, their domination either over the medical industry or a lack of direction towards e-learning makes VMC and Kayson come ahead and grab the top positions as the best distance learning programs for JEE Main & JEE Advanced. One can choose both, but doubt clearance is imperative for successful JEE preparation and hence needs to be taken care of.
