The New Delhi-based Aakash Institute, a coaching provider for engineering and medical entrance examinations, has opened two branches here.

The branches are located at Himayathnagar and S.R. Nagar. “Going forward we may open two more branches here,’’ J. C. Chaudhry, Chairman, Aakash Educational Services Ltd, told newspersons here on Thursday.

Aakash was in the process of expanding its footprint in the South and had recently opened braches in Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram, he said.

“I started the institute with 12 students 25 years ago. Now, there are 60,000 students in 76 centres across the country taking coaching for the premier entrance exams,’’ he said.

The teaching method includes ‘iTutor’ — a tablet-based coaching programme. Classes would be held everyday in the evening for about three hours for students of the XI and XII standards.
