Edushastra offers MBA Test Preparation help. We offer GMAT, CAT and GMCAT(GMAT + CAT) Test Prep courses. Students can choose among Live Online, Classroom and Hyrbrid (Classroom + Online) Models.

Core Competency Facets:

Our all courses come with lifetime validity. We follow “Ability-based Model” in which the course cycles are repeated until a student reaches their optimal level.

Differentiation Facets:

Short Definition: It is a learning model in which “Student Ability” decides the closure of the course and not the course time duration.

Long Definition: In the Education Industry, there are two learning models: Time-based model and Ability-based model. In mostly all schools/colleges/institutions, we experience a Time-based model in which everyone gets promoted to the next class after a fixed time period. Example: After a year in school, mostly all students move to the next level, even if a student has scored 50% marks or 80% marks or 99% marks.

But in the Ability-Based model, a student cannot move to the next level based upon the time spent at the level. But the ability becomes the judgmental facet. In this model, even a student who scores 99.99% marks is not promoted to the next level. A student must be 100% to move to the next level and time becomes irrelevant. The idea of the Ability-based model is to find the optimal level in a student.

In the Ability-Based model, a course is repeated until the students reach their optimal level. Example: If the course duration is 2 months, it does not mean that the student journey with us will be over in 2 months. The course will be repeated until he/she reaches the optimal level. In a way, this model has no time-limits. Student ability will change the course duration.

GMAT Course one-cycle duration is 2 months, for CAT it is 3.5 months, and for GMCAT it is 5 months. So in the most optimistic scenario, a student can complete the whole course in a one-course cycle.

All courses have Life-time validity.

All our courses have Adaptive Course Path. We do not only customize but also Personalize Learning Experience for the students.

Personalization Facets:

1. Evaluate & Design Model:

All courses are based upon the “Evaluate & Design” model. The course is divided into four phases. As the course progresses, it adapts based upon the student performance in the evaluation tests. The whole model right from the starting till the end customizes at every point to help the student reach their optimal level. Below-given points are the hallmarks of this model.

2. Adaptive Four-Phase Course Structure:

All Courses are divided into four phases:

a) Entry-level Mapping Phase (One-on-One Stage):This Phase starts with Profile evaluation. Based upon the profile, every student must attempt a Mapping Test. Mapping Test is an IQ-based test which helps in segregating students into five different IQ-based Groups. The idea of segregating students into different IQ groups is to keep a different study pace in all groups. Higher IQ-Groups will have more pace than the lower IQ-Groups. Lower IQ groups will also have more concepts in the class compared to higher IQ groups. Then this phase continues for some initial classes. Teachers try to analyze every student in the batch based on their interaction with them. This phase takes 10% of the total course time.

b) Foundation Phase (Batch Stage):It covers the basics of all four sections of the test. This phase is around 20-50% of the whole course. There are weekly evaluation tests which help in customizing the course path.

c) Testing Phase (One-on-One Stage):This phase involves Computer Adaptive Tests, Computer Based Tests, and Paper-Based Tests. Every course comes with a commitment of “Minimum Tests” i.e. the minimum number of tests that a student must attempt to complete the course.

d) Control Phase (One-on-One Stage):This last Phase is to “Check and Control” any gaps in test preparation.

3. Five IQ-Based Student Groups:

As already told in the previous point, the students are segregated into five IQ-based Groups. These groups are also called “Series”. It starts with 6-series and the last group is 10-series. 6-series is the lowest IQ-Based group in which the course pace is at the slowest pace. The classes will be more concept-based. As a student moves into higher IQ-based groups, the course pace keeps on increasing. Higher IQ-based groups are more Application and practice-based classes.

4. Small Batch Size:

The batch sizes are kept small. In this way, the teachers can help students at an individual level. This helps in providing more personalized services to the students.

5. Weekly Course Correction Evaluation Tests:

The foundation phase is the second phase of the course. This is the phase in which Concept & Application classes are conducted. All Sections/Topics/Lessons are covered in three stages namely Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced classes.

The strategy is to have a weekly course correction based upon the student performance in the weekly evaluation tests. The Panel head reviews the weekly performance and decides the future course path. The weekly evaluation tests are Sectional/Full-Length Computer-Adaptive, Computer-Based or Paper-Based Tests.

6. Adaptive Testing Phase:

The Testing phase is the third phase and is considered the most important of all phases. This phase makes or breaks “Toppers”. In this phase, all Sectional/Full-Length Computer-Adaptive, Computer-Based or Paper-Based Tests are at student’s disposal.

This phase is adaptive and customizes for every student. Every test is evaluated by Teachers before the next test is sent. The tests are not linearly placed for students, but it comes to a student’s portal one at a time. The performance in the test decides the difficulty of the next test sent to students.

7. Ability-Based Model:

Short Definition: It is a learning model in which “Student Ability” decides the closure of the course and not the course time duration.

Long Definition: In the Education Industry, there are two learning models: Time-based model and Ability-based model. In mostly all schools/colleges/institutions, we experience a Time-based model in which everyone gets promoted to the next class after a fixed time period. Example: After a year in school, mostly all students move to the next level, even if a student has scored 50% marks or 80% marks or 99% marks.

But in the Ability-Based model, a student cannot move to the next level based upon the time spent at the level. But the ability becomes the judgmental facet. In this model, even a student who scores 99.99% marks is not promoted to the next level. A student must be 100% to move to the next level and time becomes irrelevant. The idea of the Ability-based model is to find the optimal level in a student.

In the Ability-Based model, a course is repeated until the students reach their optimal level. Example: If the course duration is 2 months, it does not mean that the student journey with us will be over in 2 months. The course will be repeated until he/she reaches the optimal level. In a way, this model has no time-limits. Student ability will change the course duration.

GMAT Course one-cycle duration is 2 months, for CAT it is 3.5 months, and for GMCAT it is 5 months. So in the most optimistic scenario, a student can complete the whole course in a one-course cycle.

All courses have Life-time validity.

Short Definition: It is defined as a “Stagnation Learning Point” of the student.

Long Definition: Optimal Learning Level is defined as a point at which the variable of Concept, Application & Practice does not yield any change in the student scoring level. This is a level in which the student IQ becomes the stagnation point.

We claim that our course fees are nominal compared to the market. We advise students to compare course fees of all education companies in the market. But do not compare “Apples to Oranges”. Mostly all education companies run Time-Based Model whereas we run Ability-Based Model. In most of the cases, the course will run only one cycle but in the Ability-based model, the course cycle is repeated until the student reaches their optimal level.

We also advise students to know that GMAT & CAT Test is just a small part of the admission process. There are many other services that a student will need to reach the final stage. Just like in GMAT, a student will need Profile Evaluation, Business School Selection, Application Assistance, etc. CAT aspirants will need help in GD/PI/WAT/AWA and help in NMAT, XAT, SNAP, IIFT, etc.

Our Course fees are not only for GMAT or CAT Exam, but it covers all the services from the beginning to end of the admission cycle. All augmented services are offered free with the course.

There are 3 type of models from which a student can choose i.e. Live online classes, Classroom teaching and Hybrid (Classroom + Online) model. In Hybrid Model, Students can opt to have Classroom or Live Online classes as per their convenience.

All Courses are divided into four phases:

a) Entry-level Mapping Phase (One-on-One Stage):

This Phase starts with Profile evaluation. Based upon the profile, every student has to attempt a Mapping Test. Mapping Test is an IQ-based test which helps in segregating students into five different IQ-based Groups. The idea of segregating students into different IQ groups is to keep a different study pace in all groups. Higher IQ-Groups will have more pace than the lower IQ-Groups. Lower IQ groups will also have more concepts in the class compared to higher IQ groups. Then this phase continues for some initial classes. Teachers try to analyze every student in the batch based on their interaction with them. This phase takes 10% of the total course time.

b) Foundation Phase (Batch Stage):

It covers the basics of all four sections of the test. This phase is around 20-50% of the whole course. There are weekly evaluation tests that help in customizing the course path.

c) Testing Phase (One-on-One Stage):

This phase involves Computer Adaptive Tests, Computer Based Tests, and Paper-Based Tests. Every course comes with a commitment of “Minimum Tests” i.e. the minimum number of tests that a student must attempt to complete the course.

d) Control Phase (One-on-One Stage):

This last Phase is to “Check and Control” any gaps in test preparation.

Mapping phase is a phase which is started after the enrollment. In this phase, a student’s profile is evaluated and based on the profile, a mapping test is sent and based on the mapping test and the profile combined, a student is assigned in a series batch.

5 Series Batches are there i.e. 6 Series, 7 series, 8 series, 9 series and batches.

Every Series batch comes with a different pace of learning. AS you move up the series batches, pace of the course increases.

Every week, a student can appear for the evaluation test and get promoted to the next series batch.

Evaluation window is the window for the students in which they can ask for the evaluation test or general test(Sectional or full length).

There is no limit on the tests. It depends on the student that when he/she is confident enough to give the exam.

For weekdays, classes are on 4 days and duration is 1-2 hours per day.

For weekends, classes are on 2 days and duration is 2-3 hours per day.

The first class starts at 6am and the last class starts at 9:30 pm. Multiple options are given to the student to choose the batch timing.

Live online classes are the classes conducted for the online students. As Edushastra focuses on personalized learning, so as the name suggests, these are the Live classes. The students will be able to interact with the teacher via 4 mediums i.e. Audio, Video, Chat and Write option.

All the classes will be the Live classes not the recorded sessions.

Yes. The student can ask doubts in the class as it is a live interactive class. It is just like a virtual classroom.

All our Live online sessions are conducted via 2 mediums i.e. Zoom and Google meet. To know all the features included in this, check out the links.

Free Services List:

GMCAT Course will include free services associated with both GMAT and CAT Exam. All Free services included with GMAT and CAT exam has already been listed in the above boxes.

This is a promise in which course fee is refunded if a student fails to get the promised score. Our GMAT Course comes with “GMAT 700+ or Refund Guarantee” promise. Our GMCAT and CAT course has a “CAT 95%ile+ or Refund Guarantee” promise.

Every course starts with a Mapping Phase. In the Mapping Phase, an IQ test is taken. Based on the Mapping Test, the students are divided into five different groups or series. All our courses have five-course phases or series. A student starts with the first level (6-Series) or second level (7-Series). As the course progresses, a student moves from lower series to upper series based upon weekly evaluation tests.
