A foundation is built from the bottom.
Seven years, seven books. Each year at Sankalp adds one study habit to the ones beneath it.
Kankarbagh, Patna
A stronger foundation for life: after-school classes for Class 6 to 12, plus JEE and NEET, twenty-four to a batch.
24desksto a batch. There is no twenty-fifth.
3½hours4:00 to 7:30 pm, after school. Nothing later.
1written testevery Saturday, marked by Monday.
0classeson Sunday. Not one in thirteen years.
Class 6
Sit for forty minutes.
One subject, one desk, one sitting, with the phone in a locker downstairs. It sounds like nothing. Every later year stands on it, so it is taught first and on purpose.
On the syllabusFractions and ratios, light and shadows, the first full paragraph.
Class 7
Show the working.
Algebra arrives, and with it one rule: an answer without its steps earns nothing here. By March the steps are automatic, which is what a board examiner will pay marks for.
On the syllabusIntegers and algebra, heat, acids and bases, the first formal letter.
Class 8
Keep an error notebook.
Every wrong answer goes into one notebook with the reason beside it: did not know, misread, or rushed. Foundation starts here too. It means the Class 8 book finished properly and one harder problem a day.
On the syllabusLinear equations, force and pressure, cells, the Constitution.
Class 9
A test every Saturday.
The first real jump: thicker books, proofs in maths, numericals in physics. Most marks are lost quietly in the first term. A written test each week means nobody falls behind unnoticed.
On the syllabusPolynomials and Euclid, motion and Newton's laws, atoms and molecules.
Class 10
Write for the marking scheme.
The first board exam rewards writing as much as knowing. Three full pre-boards, marked the way board examiners mark, with presentation marks counted apart from knowledge marks.
On the syllabusTrigonometry, electricity, chemical reactions, the map question.
Class 11
Plan your own week.
The stream is chosen: boards, JEE or NEET. It is the steepest year of the seven. Every Sunday night you write the week ahead, and on Saturday we read it back against what happened.
On the syllabusThe start of calculus, mechanics, the mole concept, cell biology.
Class 12
Revise on a calendar.
Two exams in one year. The syllabus closes in November. After that come three revision passes on fixed dates, each shorter than the last, and a full mock every second Saturday.
On the syllabusIntegrals, electromagnetism, organic chemistry, genetics.
By Class 12, the first habit is seven years old.
That is the head start. Not an extra hour of class and not a thicker book. Joining in a later class? We begin with the habits beneath yours, and it takes about a fortnight.

Everyone who sat the exam is counted.

Their journey. Our pride.
“I used to study till one at night and still feel behind. Here I am done by half past seven, and my test marks have stopped swinging.”
“The Saturday message is three lines. In two years I have never had to ask how my son is doing.”
“The error notebook from Class 8 came with me to college. I still keep one.”
Questions parents ask.
Which boards do you teach?
CBSE, ICSE and ISC, and Bihar Board. Classes are taught in Hindi and English together. Notes and tests follow your board's language and pattern. Bihar Board papers usually come in February, so that batch closes its syllabus about a month earlier.
Do you start JEE or NEET coaching in Class 8?
No. Foundation here means the school book done properly and one harder problem a day. Entrance batches begin in Class 11, after the Class 10 boards.
What if my child misses a week?
Notes are kept at the desk. The missed test is sat on Monday at 3:00, and a teacher sits with them in study hall until they have caught up. We do not send recorded lectures.
Can I meet the teachers?
On the first Saturday of every month, from 6:00 to 7:30 pm, class by class. Between meetings there is the Saturday message, and the office is open from 11 am to 8 pm.
Is there a test to get in?
There is a one-hour placement paper, so we know where to begin. Nobody is turned away on it.
Do you promise marks or a rank?
No. We promise the routine. What happened to every student who sat last year's exams is in the results above.
