What our students say
prashandini_jayakumar

“I Taejas from AhaGuru class 12 definitely endorse each and every JEE/NEET aspirant to binge watch the Capacitor Circuits skill builders given by Balaji Sampath sir. They are extremely creative and informative, at the same time clarify all necessary conceptual doubts. They also teach us easy shortcuts to solve problems dealing with Capacitance and Capacitors which is useful for all competitive exams and of course board exams.”
