Review: This is one of the distance learning programs I would personally recommend as it is a wholesome package which has satisfied many students. The study material is well-explained, the All India Test Series are a good simulation of IIT papers and the additional practice problems ensure the topics are intact in your memory.
FIITJEE

Review: FIITJEE claims to have taught 6 of the Best 10 students of IIT JEE main. The classroom program is considered one of the best especially for its study material and teaching methodology which I believe has been retained in the correspondence course as well. They put you through intense drilling so be prepared. The small additional elements like exercises, RPI, myPAT, etc. make it enriching. If not RESONANCE then your next choice should be FIITJEE.
BANSAL CLASSES
Profile: Started in 1984 by popular educator V.K Bansal and has since expanded across India. Bansal claims to have taught 3 students of the Best 100 IITJEE qualifiers of 2016.
Course: You can opt for three kinds of packages based on what you require. On a whole you will have access to:

Fees: The complete package will cost INR 23,500
Review: The study material is appreciated just as much as its classroom teaching. They have an elaborate test series package of mock IIT papers. It’s difficult to find loopholes as it’s a wholesome package, however on a whole it might prove to be good but not excellent.
VIDYAMANDIR
Profile: Started 20 years ago, Vidyamandir has gained popularity for IIT JEE coaching. Their distance learning program was started in 2008.
Course: The course will give you access to:
- 150 hours of video lectures

- Online tests every week

Review: This is one of the courses which has perfectly blended online with printed material giving you access to the vast and sufficient material. They seem to adopt interesting teaching methodology to make your study process less monotonous. Small activities like weekly tests make it challenging while synchronised video lectures leave less room for doubts. On a whole, it’s worth a try.
ALLEN CAREER INSTITUTE

Review: They seemed to have borrowed material from Bansal classes in part or complete form which contradicts their claim that their material is self-researched. The course on a whole has received an average rating. This can be your resort if you do not successfully enrol for other classes.

Review: The reviews do not seem to be very positive. Vibrant classroom coaching is undoubtedly good; however, they seem to be less active with the distance learning programme. You may have to do more self-study as compared to the other programmes mentioned above.
MOTION CLASSES

Review: The programme was recently started, hence it is fresh, innovative and adaptive. They respond to and educate students for all the programmes equally. Very few have reviewed the program, however, all the few suggest that if you are beginner then Motion will assist you very closely and help you match IIT standards.
VERDICT
It’s not a wise decision to follow the popular opinion always but I would suggest you avoid trying new courses now, as experience is significant in formulating the course and creating study material. Therefore, you should attempt for Resonance or FIITJEE on priority. If you do not get through then your second priority should be Bansal, Vidyamandir or Motion. The reason I insist on Motion despite it being an amateur compared to others as they have a strong and researched foundation. They make learning by combining different aids.
There stands a wall of difference between classroom programme and distance learning programme i.e., self-study. Nobody coaxes you to study, you have to drive yourself. Sounds difficult? Let’s make it easy:
- Plan your study
- Follow the program plan strictly – tests, online resources and exercises
- Contribute to discussions
- Say no to procrastination
- Reward yourself
- Take breaks to refresh yourself
I assume this should make your preparation easy. All the best. Want to discuss anything more? Drop your comments below.

Hello! Summing up, you've said Resonance or FIITJEE, "but if you don't get through..." etc. Could you clarify what you mean? Don't get through JEE and choose Vidyamandir, etc., as a dropper?
