Aakash Educational Services Limited (AESL), India’s leader in test preparatory services, has inaugurated a new classroom centre at Gajuwaka in Vishakhapatnam. This strategic move responds to the growing demand for NEET, IIT JEE, Olympiads coaching, and Foundation courses from the city. The new addition to AESL’s expanding pan-India network of centres, currently totaling over 315 in 24 states and union territories, reflects the institute’s commitment to providing standardized direct coaching services to students where they live.
State-of-the-Art Facilities at the New Centre
Located in a spacious 6,600 sq ft area at Celest Mall, Ground Floor, Beside Lanka Ground, Gajuwaka, the new centre boasts eight classrooms capable of accommodating over 1,040 students. Featuring connected and smart classrooms, the centre provides a seamless learning experience for students enrolled in its hybrid courses. The modern facilities ensure that students receive the best possible education, combining the advantages of both online and offline learning.
Inauguration and Vision
The new centre at Gajuwaka was inaugurated by Mr. Dheeraj Misra, Chief Academic & Business Head at Aakash, in the presence of other company officials. During the inauguration, Mr. Deepak Mehrotra, CEO and MD of Aakash, emphasized the institute’s commitment to promoting student-centric education. He stated, “At Aakash, we believe in promoting student-centric education, which means delivering courses and bringing education to students wherever they are. Our key differentiator is not only the quality of course content but also its delivery that represents the right balance between online and offline modes. In short, we want to offer the best of both worlds – real and virtual, to boost the learning experience and outcomes of our students and help them realize their higher education dreams.”
Mr. Dheeraj Misra added, “We are happy to open our new centre in Vishakhapatnam, home to hundreds of NEET, JEE, and Olympiads aspirants who truly value and seek our coaching services. All our centres have trained teachers, mentors, and counsellors to ensure that the standard of course delivery is always maintained, no matter how far a centre is located from a big city. For students, the immense benefit of a direct centre in their own place is that world-class coaching is now knocking on their doors, and they never have to travel to cities, leaving their parents and family, for the sake of coaching.”
Admission and Scholarship Opportunities
Students can enroll for and take the instant Admission cum Scholarship Test (ACST) directly by sharing their marksheet or register for the Aakash National Talent Hunt Exam (ANTHE). ANTHE is scheduled to be held between October 17-24, later this year. This flagship annual scholarship exam offers students a chance to secure scholarships and take admission in AESL’s prestigious courses.
Track Record of Excellence
Aakash has a stellar track record of producing excellent results. This year alone, 2,352 students from Andhra Pradesh and 5,095 students from Telangana qualified in the NEET UG 2024 exam. Additionally, 333 students from Andhra Pradesh and 741 students from Telangana qualified for the JEE Mains 2024. These results underscore the institute’s commitment to academic excellence and the effectiveness of its comprehensive coaching programs.
