Who Is eSaral and What Makes It Different?
Most JEE coaching platforms offer lectures. eSaral offers a system.
Founded by three IITians from a single family — NK Gupta Sir (IIT Kanpur, 37 years experience), Saransh Gupta Sir (IIT Bombay, AIR-41), and Prateek Gupta Sir (IIT Bombay, 10+ years teaching experience) — eSaral was built on a simple belief: every student deserves the same quality of teaching that produces Top-100 JEE rankers, regardless of where they live.
eSaral operates both online and offline (Kota Gurukul centre), with the same faculty teaching both. This is rare. Most platforms separate their "star faculty" for offline batches. At eSaral, the top teachers — including those whose students have achieved Rank 1, 2, 3 in JEE Advanced — are available across both modes.
What Separates eSaral from Other JEE Platforms?
| Feature | eSaral | Typical Online JEE Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Faculty background | IIT Bombay + Kota veterans (37 yrs exp) | Mixed — not always IIT-verified |
| Batch size | Limited (interactive) | 200–500+ students per batch |
| Mentorship | 2 dedicated mentors per student | Usually none |
| Doubt solving | 5-layer system | Chat-only or delayed |
| Test series | 350+ tests with AI-powered analysis | Standard mock tests |
| Class interaction | Two-way audio/video (teacher sees all students) | One-way lecture |
💡 Expert Tip by Saransh Gupta, IIT Bombay AIR-41: "The single biggest reason students fail JEE is not lack of hard work — it is lack of the right system. Most students study in isolation, without anyone tracking their weak topics or pushing them back on track when they drift. The mentorship model we built at eSaral directly solves this."
Is eSaral Good for JEE? What the Results Say
The clearest answer to "is eSaral worth it?" comes from results — not from marketing.
In 2025, eSaral produced its best-ever JEE outcome. Over 1,550 students from eSaral (online + offline combined) secured IIT seats — the highest selection ratio in the platform's history. This was not a one-off. In JEE Advanced 2024, an eSaral student achieved AIR-87, and multiple students consistently placed in the Top-100 of JEE Main.
In JEE Main 2025 specifically:
- AIR-44 was achieved by a dropper student (Harsh) who repeated with eSaral
- AIR-73 was achieved by Lakshit, a Class 12 student who prepared alongside board exams
- Over 1,250 students scored above 99 percentile in JEE Main 2025
These are not exceptional students who have been toppers since Class 6. Several of them were average students when they enrolled. The system — the right teachers, structured mentorship, and relentless test practice — transformed their results.
💡 Expert Tip by NK Gupta Sir, IIT Kanpur — 37 Years Experience: "In my career, I have seen one pattern repeated: students who get individual attention and regular performance analysis outperform those who don't — regardless of initial ability. That is why we built eSaral the way we did."
How Does the eSaral Mentorship System Actually Work?
The mentorship system is what most eSaral students say surprised them the most. It is not motivational videos or group calls. It is structured, individual accountability.
Every student enrolled in eSaral's JEE batch gets two dedicated mentors — both of whose phone numbers are shared with the student and their parents. These mentors actively track:
- Attendance — Are you attending live classes?
- Homework completion — Are you solving DPPs and CPPs consistently?
- Backlog — Are topics piling up unaddressed?
- Test performance analysis — Where exactly are you losing marks?
Mentors use eSaral's AI-powered test reports (which break down performance to the sub-topic level) to identify each student's weak areas before the student even realises they have a problem.
What Happens When You Fall Behind?
If a student's attendance drops or test scores dip, the mentor proactively reaches out to both the student and the parent. This is not surveillance; it is the kind of one-on-one attention a home tutor would give, at scale.
This model is why eSaral claims — accurately — to be India's only online JEE platform with this level of individual mentorship. Large platforms with 50,000+ students simply cannot replicate it, which is also why eSaral deliberately keeps batch sizes limited.

What Subjects and Study Material Does eSaral Provide?
eSaral's study material is built from Kota's coaching ecosystem — it is not adapted from NCERT or standard textbooks. The modules are designed to take a student from Level Zero (basics) to JEE Advanced level across four progressive exercise tiers.
What Is Included in the eSaral Study Package?
- Printed modules for Physics, Chemistry, and Maths (delivered to home for online students in early-enrolment offers)
- CPPs (Classroom Practice Problems) and DPPs (Daily Practice Problems) — discussed live in class
- 500+ questions per chapter across four difficulty levels
- Rank Booster and Shaktimaan Quiz sets for advanced practice
- Visualisation video lectures — pre-class conceptual explainers that students watch before attending the live session
The pre-class visualisation lectures are a deliberate pedagogical choice. Students come to live class having already understood the basic concept. The live session then focuses on problem-solving, doubt resolution, and deeper understanding — which is exactly how toppers naturally study.
Which Topics Are Covered?
All chapters from the JEE Main syllabus and JEE Advanced syllabus are covered in the 2-year programme. Physics, Chemistry, and Maths are taught daily by separate subject specialists — not a single general teacher covering all subjects.
How Are eSaral's Live Classes Structured?
What Makes eSaral's Online Classes Different from Other Platforms?
eSaral's online classes are not pre-recorded videos you watch passively. They are live sessions where the teacher can see every student's video feed and interact directly by name — calling out students, checking written work on camera, and conducting two-way audio/video discussions.
This is technically very different from typical "chat-only" online classes, where 500 students watch a teacher on a screen and type questions into a chat box that rarely gets answered.
At eSaral:
- Batch sizes are limited, so the teacher can genuinely attend to individuals
- Teachers conduct DPP and CPP discussions inside class time — not as separate homework
- Students ask doubts by audio/video — not just text
In addition to the live classes, students have access to dedicated Doubt Solving Sessions — separate from theory classes — where they can bring specific questions and get real-time, spoken answers.
The 5-Layer Doubt-Solving System
- In-class interaction — Ask during the live session (audio/video)
- DPP / module discussion — All practice material discussed in class
- Dedicated live doubt classes — Separate scheduled sessions for backlog doubts
- "Dost" AI doubt tool — Photograph a question and get an instant solution via the app
- Mentor escalation — If still unresolved, mentors connect the student directly to the subject teacher
eSaral Course Fee: Is It Worth the Price?
eSaral positions itself as India's most affordable JEE course with mentorship at this quality level. This is a verifiable claim — no other mentorship-grade JEE platform offers a comparable feature set at a lower fee.
For the Brahmos 2.0 batch (launching May 10 for JEE 2028 aspirants who have just passed Class 10):
- 60% early-enrolment discount is available for the first cohort
- First 200 online students receive eSaral printed modules delivered to their home at no extra charge
- Offline (Gurukul, Kota) and online fees differ — contact eSaral directly for the current fee structure at
To put this in perspective: a standard offline Kota coaching programme costs ₹1.5–2 lakh per year. eSaral's online programme delivers the same Kota faculty quality at a fraction of the cost — with the added benefit of mentorship that most Kota classrooms do not provide individually.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions.
Is eSaral good for JEE preparation?
Yes, eSaral is a strong JEE preparation platform. It is taught by IIT Bombay faculty including Saransh Gupta (AIR-41) and supported by Kota veterans with up to 37 years of experience. The platform's 5-layer doubt system, limited batch sizes, and 2-mentor-per-student model make it particularly effective for students who need structured accountability alongside quality teaching.
Can an average student crack JEE with eSaral?
Yes. Several top-performing eSaral students — including students who achieved AIR-44 and AIR-73 in JEE Main 2025 — began as average performers. eSaral's mentor system specifically targets students who need personalised support to close weak areas, making it better suited to average students than platforms that offer only passive video lectures.
How does eSaral mentorship work?
Every eSaral student is assigned two personal mentors who track attendance, homework, test performance, and backlog. Mentors contact both the student and parents if performance dips. They also conduct regular Test Performance Analysis sessions using eSaral's AI-generated sub-topic-level test reports. This is the primary reason eSaral cites for its high selection ratio.
Is eSaral good for JEE droppers?
Yes. eSaral has a specific dropper batch (Brahmos) designed for students repeating JEE. In JEE Main 2025, an eSaral dropper student (Harsh) achieved AIR-44. The dropper batch covers the full 2-year syllabus with an accelerated structure, and mentors specifically help dropper students rebuild confidence and address the mental challenges of a gap year.
Does eSaral provide study material for JEE at home?
Yes. eSaral provides printed modules covering Physics, Chemistry, and Maths at four difficulty levels — from basic to JEE Advanced standard. Online students who enrol early receive these modules delivered to their home. The modules also include CPPs, DPPs, Rank Booster sets, and a Shaktimaan Quiz series.
