Brilliant Tutorials, the oldest and largest competitive exam preparation institute, today announced their IIT – JEE Foundation Program for Andhra Pradesh in partnership with Gowtham Model Schools (GMS). The joint program will cover all GMS schools (existing 53 and another 22 new schools that are coming up across Andhra Pradesh before the beginning of the next academic session).
GMS expects initially about 20,000 students to benefit from this tie-up and be trained for the IIT /Engineering Foundation programs. While the integrated in-school program will be available only for GMS students from classes 6th to 10th along with the school curriculum towards the SSC, Brilliant’s after-school program oriented solely towards competitive entrance will be available for students of other schools as well.
“Brilliant has been a dominant player in the education arena for the past forty years, leading the country in the field of coaching for professional entrance exams. It enjoys a national presence for both its classroom and distance learning programs. GMS has a strong reputation in Andhra Pradesh, with years of educational experience behind it. The partnership between Brilliant and GMS will serve to strengthen and augment the quality of education and learning across its various centres in Andhra Pradesh,” said Dr. Vasanti Neelakantan, Managing Director, Brilliant Tutorials Pvt Ltd.
The integrated program is designed in such a manner that it caters to both the school curriculum as well as competitive exam preparation such as IIT/Engineering preparation.
The foundation program which spans a period of four years will be part of the school curriculum and the fees would be within the GMS fee structure. All GMS teachers who will teach this program will go through an intensive training program that will incorporate necessary skills and instructional delivery methodology that are time tested by Brilliant Tutorials. Refresher courses will be conducted at regular intervals wherever required to ensure quality, uniformity of teaching & result orientation.
Apart from the joint program, Brilliant will also conduct test preparation program for students who belong to other schools/institutions within GMS campuses that would benefit another 5,000 students.
The expected total outreach of the program would be nearly 25,000 students initially across Andhra Pradesh. GMS has plans to expand its school network into other states such as Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Orissa and Brilliant Tutorials has evinced interest in partnering for the joint foundation program in these states as well.
