Diagnostic Selection & Merit Scholarships

Admissions to Vaidya & Shah Academic Guild are strictly merit-screened. Every candidate is evaluated through the Gujarat Merit Diagnostic Test (GMDT) to verify analytical mindset and intellectual drive.

Rigorous Selection

The 4-Step Admission Journey

A transparent, merit-driven evaluation pipeline designed to match serious aspirants with master mentors.

STEP 01

GMDT Diagnostic Test

A 90-minute written assessment held at our Bodakdev campus. Tests fundamental mathematical logic, physical observation, and analytical deduction — not rote memorization.

STEP 02

Analytical Assessment

Within 48 hours, parents receive a multi-parameter diagnostic audit report isolating calculation errors, comprehension depth, and speed versus accuracy indexes.

STEP 03

Faculty Counseling

A private 30-minute consultation with Dr. Vaidya or Dr. Mehta. We discuss the scholar's cognitive strengths, past examination stress points, and tailored 2-year roadmaps.

STEP 04

Seat Allotment & Induction

Qualifying candidates receive official admission orders and study kit allocation strictly subject to the unbreakable 20-candidate batch cap.

Frequently Addressed Inquiries

Clear, definitive answers to questions most frequently asked by discerning parents.

01. What is the comprehensive fee structure, and are there any hidden add-on costs?

Our fee structure is completely transparent and all-inclusive. The quoted annual tuition covers all 28–30 weekly classroom hours, proprietary 24-volume printed study codexes, daily graded practice problems (DPP), full-length computerized test series, and evening 1-on-1 faculty doubt consultations. There are zero supplementary charges for tests, revisions, or interview counseling.

02. Why is the batch size strictly capped at 20 students, and can it be increased on request?

The 20-candidate batch ceiling is an unbreakable institutional law at Vaidya & Shah. Commercial coaching centers pack 80 to 200 students into theater-sized halls where individual accountability is impossible. By capping batches at 20, our master teachers maintain eye contact with every scholar, review their live calculation steps in class, and conduct daily personalized doubt desks. We never increase batch limits under any circumstances.

03. Are flexible fee payment installments available for parents?

Yes. To assist parents, the annual tuition can be remitted in three equal installments across the academic year without any interest or surcharge. Additionally, students awarded 75%, 50%, or 25% GMDT merit waivers have their discounts automatically deducted pro-rata from each installment cycle.

04. What accommodation or hostel facilities exist for outstation students near Bodakdev?

For students traveling from Rajkot, Surat, Vadodara, Bhavnagar, or other Gujarat centers, the Guild has curated vetted executive student residences located within 500 to 800 meters of our Bodakdev campus on SG Highway. These secure facilities feature disciplined curfew timings, silent study rooms, hygienic nutritious catering, and high-speed fiber internet.

05. How frequently are parents notified regarding student attendance, test scores, and progression?

Parents receive real-time SMS and WhatsApp notifications every evening when their student submits and receives their evaluated Daily Practice Problem (DPP). Furthermore, bi-weekly audited physical academic performance reports containing granular question-by-question analytics, speed metrics, and teacher notes are dispatched directly to the parents' registered residence.
