Howz Erudite (kolkata) ??

[nikunjparekh]

Hi Guys

Very interesting Debate going on....

I have Just joined Erudite in Kolkata, and have gone through a coahing of 1 month

My initial reactions based on my observations:

> The Classroom teaching is good and personal attention is given to students and teachers are cooperative

> The fees do cover XAT coaching as well

> It still has the best crowd of kolkata in terms of knowledge, competencies, etc

>Competetion for MBA Coaching institutes in kolkata has increased troumendously as IMS, CL , TIme and others have come up well.. and are for sure eating up the market share of Erudite, but As far as i know, erudite is coming up with a lot of innovative activities and partnerships with which would help it place it brand image above others

> As fas as i have heard, the Study Mat and SIMCATS are not that great, we would be also taking stuff from PG and other insitutes.

> THe infrastructure has improves slightly as they have shifted to another centre in theh heart of the City in Camac street

> I stil have ti find out how was the results of erudite this year in terms of calls for their students

> I would somewhat agree to a comment posted earlier that It gets the best students in the city and so delivering good results should come naturally...... but I may skip a gun and say that IIMs get the best students of the country and they are the best in the business.. I AM NOT MAKING ANY KIND OF COMPARISONS(which would be idiotic to do) or saying that Erudite is the best.. but just trying to make a point that no matter how good students you have.. the coaching does matter a little bit.

I completely agree with the point that people should stop blindly following other people;s opinions and judge for themselves on which is the best option and not just join it for One person who someone may feel is a DUDE or someone may feel is not.. Judgement should be based on more practical terms

Thats it for me

Cheers

Nikunj

@ sultanat: when r u going to start making sense and when r u going to change those obnoxious fonts?? counselling!!! lol....really...wat a joke! doubt clearng sessions!! packed beyond capacity....

@ nikunj: wait for some time and then u will realize... seek out the valueaddition with respect to cat and u will see how much erudite helps. if erudite was just another instu it was ok but it charges goddamn 20k for that...its disorganised and uncooperative at multiple levels.
>when i joined xat was charged separately, i dont know now. how much thay charge.
>best crowd...apparently yes.. but the scene is changing fast..aggressive marketing by time and all..infact u may not get a single 90-percentiler in many batches
>saying simcats r not that great is a big overstatement..they r pathetic..plus manual checking of simcats...gigantic errors.
>only physical infra is good but thats only secondry to the actual purpose.
>erudite never gives out the no. of calls it has got...it only keeps saying three-fourth of all callgetters in kol are from eru..or something like that...crap again
>even in IIMs bright people get in and that is part of the reason for its success...part of the reason bcoz there is lot of scope for value addition. but in cat coaching the scope for coaching is not so huge...oc the comparison is absurd...but erudite has made lots of money due to this.

see, as far as cat classroom coaching is concerned there isnt much difference in the various institutes...but it helps to hav good mock cats...joinig erudite with 20k and then taking mocks from other instis becomes almost imperative. PG.com is more useful..that 20k is better deserved by PGs.

if u can look beyond the gimmicks u will know that its a wrong decision to join erudite.
after going thro all this i somewhat felt cheated and i dont want others to go thro the same feeling, thats y i m saying all this.
Irreverence is a healthy attitude..hav it and u will see past these holy cows.

also, take ur phone no. out of the posts.

guys... cool!!! chill... lets not make it personal... we are here to share ideas... have healthy discussions and debates... so that all of us come out with a win win situation...
so lets keep a check on ourselves.. and what we post... we are here to make friends.. right?

even i'm a ex student from eru... and i'll recount my personal experience... well, first and formost, i met these really great guys there.. and now they are sooo good friends as if i've known them for years... and that alone makes me feel joining eru was worth it. yes, ery does have that kind of bonding factor which u wun find in any other coaching centre.

true.. it gets loads of students, and so every conceivable kind of probs that u can think of exists there.

but of late a lot of change has been brought.. and its not just in infrastructure... i know some of the teachers personally, and that made them all the more accessible to me in case of doubts. even otherwise all the teachers are always available and very helpful.

as others mentioned.. the crowd is the best in cal.. both in terms of intellect and quality

on the converse side... though eru is a gr8 place to prepare... it alone in no way is enough.... one simply must get ims study materials at the very least, and enrol for a mock cat series by any other coaching.
end of the day... as far as quality of coaching goes for other instis.. joining eru makes more sense than the rest.

oh, and yes.. all of us, who r thinking of joining a coaching to prepare for cat... we all aspire ot be managers.. right?? and isnt being manager means being able to tackle probs... and turning situations and events to your advantage?? trust me.. eru gives u ample oppurtunity for that too.. its upto u how much juice u can take out of it for the sum of money u have to dish out... and if u can do it properly... eru is certainly worth it....

by gee,some confusion raging in here!abt erudite and all!man,why think abt so hard nd fast??the truth is out there,no insti 'll gurantee u what comes in the cat next,year.be assured dat whatever is taught i any insti won't come in the pa[er..let alone guess th enext big surprise 4m the cat paper setters point of view...

personally speakin having visitted all the major insti-s in the city,i got the ompression dat erudite needs 2 expand big time,it's current buiding is too small 4 comfort..too many students it seemed...

abty other insti-s.well mate,if u r good enugh 2 crack the cat ims,cl.time all r basically da same in here..it's all abt ur own confidence in urslf..

all dabest 2 all..

Hi Pagalguys,
An urgent help required from All...
I am rt now located in Bhubaneshwar where u have a center for Erudite..
After a decent performance in CAt 05 I am planning to take up Cat 06...
For this I was planning to go for a correspondence course...
I am really confused as to whether i should go for a classroom coaching from them or stick by correspondence...
So all the guys who have done coaching from this insti or are doing so in Bhunaneshwar, please provide pointers as to whether this insti is really an exceptional one or their study material will be enuf...
N.B : I have been thru a classroom coaching from CF...
