High-pressure sales are a product feature—not a favour
If a counsellor says the batch will close tonight, assume you are in a sales funnel. Good institutes survive a 48-hour family discussion.
Common tactics
Your counter-process
Take notes, ask for written fee breakup, visit a second demo, and sleep on it. Use editorial policy context for how independent comparison should work, and verify centres through methodology.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should parents attend coaching demos?
Yes—especially for fee breakup, batch strength, and support policies. Students should still evaluate teaching fit directly.
What is the biggest mistake families make?
Optimising only for brand fame or discount percentage instead of batch fit, doubt support, and sustainable routine.
