Six checks

What makes CA coaching classes the best for you

Take this list to any demo class. A good institute will answer every point clearly.

1. Who actually teaches you?

Check whether the faculty on the poster takes your classes. At NAE, CA CS CMA Niraj Agarwal teaches every class himself.

2. Is the material built on ICAI?

Your exam is set by ICAI. NAE books cover the ICAI study material, RTPs, MTPs and past papers, so you are not juggling extra sources.

3. Are there tests in exam format?

Mock tests should be checked and discussed. The CA Foundation Mock Test Series is included free with the NAE Foundation course.

4. How fast are doubts solved?

Ask how doubts are handled between classes. NAE students post doubts in a WhatsApp community and get them resolved.

5. Can you rewatch lectures?

NAE CA Foundation recordings have unlimited views until you pass, alongside classroom and live online classes.

6. Can you verify the results?

Look for named results shared with students’ permission. NAE publishes All India Ranks and CA Foundation distinctions on its results page.
