Managing Director’s Message

Greetings!

Scholars Den would like to express gratitude to the parents and students for making Scholars Den, one of the best coaching institutes for engineering, medical and foundation having the highest success ratio. Our vision to transform the local educational landscape, especially small towns and villages from where students had the potential, but due to lack of support were not able to deliver. These students are now creating a success story in these competitive exams which was previously thought can be done only by the elites.

I started this journey in 2013 in Moradabad with 40 students only. In the last 8 years, Scholars Den was able to produce 47 IITians from Moradabad region, which is more than what is achieved in previous 67 years. Scholars Den is successfully working towards redefining our role from being a coaching institution to an institute that caters the demand of overall development of students through programs on yoga, meditation etc.

This success is attributed to the commitment of our faculties towards delivering quality education and also to parents who have always supported in our Endeavor

Best Regards
Managing Director

Vision & Mission

Vision

Scholars Den aspires to provide top quality education to students, right at their dwelling place.

Mission

A big percentage of IIT & NEET toppers are from small cities/ towns/ villages every year. Unfortunately, most of them had to move out of their native place, leaving their families behind, for getting training for competitive exams at the coaching hubs in other cities. They have to face lots of issues of these new places at a tender age which certainly affects their performance.

On the other hand, these coaching hubs increase their shine claiming their results which rightly belong to their native place. With the support and supervision of family and sound nurturing of their talent at hometown and nearby coaching, a much more resounding success can come to the amazing talent of small cities. Instead of that, what comes to these hubs of talent, is a drain of resources in other cities along with being a psychological drain on many families.

Due to mega advertising of fudged results and manipulated statistics, the established coaching hubs present an attractive picture of “All is well” to lure the talent of a large number of cities/ towns/ villages. In reality, the success ratio is as low as 2% in many of these institutes despite attracting the best students from across the country. Scholars Den has consistently delivered high quality results with one of the best success ratio in the country. The credit goes to our innovative practices, unbeatable faculty team and individual care. With each passing year, we are setting new benchmarks in terms of results as well as quality of education. It is a mission of Scholars Den to provide top quality education to the deserving students, right at their dwelling place so that the trap set by the highly “commercialised” institute prove ineffective. It is our firm resolve to turn Moradabad, which is famous as Brass City, into the golden city of education
