Any other colleges you can suggest?
Can you please help me to kick start my course and what else should I bear in mind to make sure I get through?

Dear Gogineni,
I am not the biggest supporter of Princeton Review tutoring, not because they won't help you, but I think you can get better value from other tutoring companies. I have heard good things about Knewton.com, which is priced pretty similarly.
The PrincetonReview tutors aren't required to have top GMAT scores, so in general I feel that the tutoring is lower.
That being said, the good thing about Prep classes is that they force you to study which is good. Depending on your time frame, make sure to take 1 full practice exam every Sunday. You can get free ones from ManhattanGMAT.com, Knewton.com, and MBA.com (2 free exams.)
Honestly, I'd also recommend you purchase the Official GMAT Book; you'll get a lot more value.
Feel free to reach out if I can help any more.

Dear All,
I am planning to join The Princeton Review in Pune 2 months down. But currently TPR is offering me prep classes with 33k charges and claming to provide free Admission Counselling later which is worth 27K.
I would like to know if the TPR really charges so much for Admission Counselling OR it' just the carrot shown to make me to join early?
Does any one has got any idea on this?
Does Princeton Review fee includes Admission Counselling too OR TPR charges for it separately?
I think you have been mislead. I had called the Princeton lastweek, and the price quoted was close to 20K.
They told me that this includes OG and their books and some online stuff. .... let me say I am paying for the opportunity cost (If I do the reserach to come up with all of this, I will have to pay a much bigger price).

Hi All,
People must refrain themselves from naming any institutes in the Forum, its a platform for solving queries and helping other PGites not for Advertising any so called Brands in so many cities.
All the Best!
Keep querying!
My score moved from 570 to 710 with XXX i.e. GMAT Wings. I have seen comments reg infrastructure tests etc etc etc. No competition involved here but just a few points to ponder about
1. Who really sets the GMAT Tests? GMAC - so whether its Princeton or Kaplan or any TDH, the questions have to be in line with GMAC. GMAC spends USD 250 per live question. (You can get all this detailed info in the case that outlines GMAC vs Scoretop case that went in favor of GMAC)
2. Whether you access the free online tests from GMAC, Kaplan, Princeton, Manhattan or whateva - they will always be in line with the real GMAC questions.
If we go by the logic of books, then any TDH should be able to prepare for GMAT by himself/herself w/o having to go to any class. If books could explain everything that is needed, I don't think any class would survive in the world.
For the record - average number of enrollments in PR Pune is 4 per month.
Kaplan is 5 per month. CL (Veritas Prep is 5 per month) CF is 4 per month. Achievers Point is 8 per month. Dilip Oak's is 10 per month. GMAT Wings is 10 per month. How many students of PR have managed 700+ score? How many of them have got the right counselling for business school as per their career goals?
And most important, how many of the classes have GMAT faculty who have cracked the GMAT themselves? So if one is willing to spend hard earned money for access to an online database (Kaplan gives that for USD 199 and its almost the same as Princeton Review) by all means take it. Better option - get home tuitions from PR faculty who are paid INR 450 per hour thanks to their (virtual) 99th percentile.
I never knew that 50 on quant translates to 99th percentile on GMAT. Neither was I aware that a dismal score of 25 qualifies a person to be a faculty in PR....:D:D:D
Hmmmm.....
Good stats dude.... now its confirmed that you are spying on each and every GMAT classes in Pune... and you are the same guy who runs GMAT wings ....
Now stop opening FAKE ACCOUNTS and misguiding students
If GMAT wings is really worth enough people will surely join your classes no need to open those multiple fake accounts .....
Congrats for those 10 enrollments per months Best luck for your classes and please do something good for those 10 people who have enrolled to your classes.
Hi there,
We would advise you to visit both the coaching centers and interact with their expert counselors. Ask all your questions and try to understand if your queries are being addressed well. To understand better, take a mock test and discuss your performance in detail with the faculty there.Based on your interactions take the call which institute to join.
Good Luck
Hi, Thank you for your frank opinion. Also, I've already visited the Princeton review office in Mumbai. The people there have been pretty professional and helpful.
