Your First Counselling Visit: What to Bring and What to Ask

A counselling visit is the best chance to judge a coaching class before paying anything. What to bring, the questions worth asking, and what should happen at a good session — written for parents in Nashik.

Most families decide on a coaching class after one visit. Twenty minutes of preparation makes that visit far more useful: you leave knowing whether the class fits your child, not just what the brochure says.

What to bring

  • The latest marksheets — school or board, and any recent test results. They show where the student actually stands.
  • The goal, in one line — JEE, NEET, MHT-CET (CET), boards, or not sure yet. "Not sure" is a fine answer; a good counsellor helps you narrow it down. NEET or JEE: how to decide is a useful read before you go.
  • Your daily constraints — where you live, how the student will travel, and the school timings for Class 8–10.
  • The student. The counselling is about them; they should do some of the talking.

Questions worth asking

  • How many students are in a batch, and is that number fixed?
  • How often are tests held, and how are results shared with parents — including the weeks that go badly?
  • When and how can my child ask doubts, and to whom?
  • Which results can you show, with names, for this exam?
  • What are the batch timings for this standard, and are they the same for everyone?
  • What does the fee include, and are instalments possible? (What a fee should include lists the details to check.)

Our guides to choosing NEET, JEE and CET classes go through each check in detail — they apply to any institute, including ours.

What a good session looks like

  • You meet the people who will actually teach, not only an admissions desk.
  • The student is asked about their subjects, not just told about the course.
  • You get straight answers on batch size, tests and timings, and nobody pushes you to pay on the day.
  • If the class is not a good fit, someone says so.

After the visit

Talk it over at home with the student before deciding. Compare classes on the same questions, not on the brochure. If anything was unclear, call back and ask — a class that is happy to answer before admission is more likely to answer after it.

Counselling at DV40

A counselling session at our Panchavati centre is free. You see the centre, meet the subject faculty with a parent present, and get honest answers about the programme that fits, whether that is JEE, NEET, MHT-CET or 11th & 12th Science classes in Nashik. Admission is confirmed only afterwards, by completing the admission form. The office is open Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM — book a free counselling session.

Admissions are open for the 2027–28 batch

We cap batch size deliberately, because attention does not scale. Tell us a little about the student and we will call you back with batch availability.

  • Free counselling session with our faculty
  • Parents welcome — we prefer it that way
  • Instalment options available on request
We use your details only to discuss admissions. No spam, and we never sell your data. If the student is under 18, please submit as the parent or guardian. Privacy Policy
