The BTG site has several online options (keep an eye on the discounts) from leading GMAT test prep companies that you might want to check out. Grockit, Kaplan, Knewton, Princeton Review etc.

The quality of course material would be world-class and you'd be able to take the course from home. So your physical location becomes irrelevant.

Do some background work (read reviews, find out about the strengths/weaknesses for each course, teaching style) before signing up to see which course works best for you.

Hello all,

I teach at Escape Velocity India a prep-test company www.escapevelocityindia.com that solely deals with one-to-one GMAT (and SAT) prep at your home.

I've taught at every single major prep-test company in Mumbai prior to this. I was disappointed in the quality of the prep and so started my own place.

At Escape Velocity India, you will get the quality of Verbal and Quant prep you need and deserve. You can call me up on 9619504825 to find out more. We also offer individual course selections (either Verbal or Quant) for a flat rate. We have a limited number of students we accept every year as we allocate a lot of time for each new student and cannot accomodate more than a particular number each month.

Yours Sincerely

Aniceto Pereira

The major problem with the Princeton Review and Kaplan franchises in Mumbai is a dearth of teachers. The prep-test industry has a high attrition rate, and teachers constantly find better places to work in or go freelance. I began freelancing as I enjoyed teaching adults but didn't enjoy the poor payscale and slave-like contracts that were offered to me for a full-time job.

There is no way to tell if any GMAT coaching class is good. Usually you get a lot of promises, and they will not be honest about their schedule. It is common for faculty to quit or take leave in the middle of a session. (I only quit once in my entire term as a faculty in protest over the ill-treatment and irregular firing of a colleague; I didn't want to leave my students, but I was not prepared to stand down on my principles.)

When you visit a GMAT coaching class, talk to the faculty there. See how comfortable they make you feel. Ask for a free class. In fact, demand a free class. You might find an excellent teacher for Quant in one place, and an excellent teacher for Verbal in another. If so, go to those two different places separately. Most coaching centres are trying to get you to join, but really don't care about your schedule or well-being. They'll just do anything to enroll you. There is a disconnect between the management and the counselors, and the teachers, and nobody acts or does anything as they are simply trying to get the cheapest rate they can get from the teachers. The result is a shaky way of running a business where you have no idea whether you will have a faculty around or not.

One other interesting thing - When you receive advice or solicitation for any GMAT company, take a look at the quality of the message. If it's riddled with poor punctuation, syntax, and sms-speak (such as the one above, that is not the kind of place you'd want to go to as they're pretty careless and that carelessness will show in their work.)

Hello guys,
is there anyone who has attended any of these coaching? It would be very helpful to know about the inside of these coaching institutes. I am confused about whether i should join a coaching in bangalore or mumbai?
