One bank, every branch
Questions written at any branch land in one bank, tagged by chapter, difficulty and who approved them. A branch that opened last month draws on eight years of questions from day one.
Coaching institutes
One bank. Every branch.
One bank. Every branch.
The same test, everywhere.
A coaching institute lives or dies on whether the Andheri batch and the Thane batch actually got the same test. Share the bank, generate once, and compare branches on something other than the branch head’s opinion.

One batch cycle
Enrolment to result,
Enrolment to result,
across four branches
The cycle a coaching institute runs on is a batch, not a term — shorter, repeated, and measured on whether the batch improved.
Week 0
Batch formed
A batch is created against a course, not a standard — JEE Main, NEET, a foundation batch — and students join it at whatever branch they attend. The batch, not the branch, is what the paper is assigned to.
- Course-based, not standard-based
- Students can sit at any branch
- One batch can span four cities
Week 2
First diagnostic
A diagnostic drawn from the shared bank, sat by the whole batch on the same day across every branch. Because it came from one bank, the branch comparison at the end of it means something.
- Same paper, every branch
- Shuffled per candidate
- Chapter map from day one
Weekly
Mock cycle
Weekly mocks are where the bank earns its keep. Questions a faculty member approved in March are still tagged, still searchable and still generating papers in November.
- Bank grows every week
- Repeats excluded per batch
- Difficulty ratio held steady
Week 8
Branch comparison
The uncomfortable one. Four branches, same paper, same rubric — so a gap between them is a teaching gap rather than a paper-setting gap. Institutes tell us this is the first honest branch conversation they have had.
- Branch against branch
- Faculty against their own prior batch
- Chapter-level, not just totals
Week 10
Parent update
Parents paying coaching fees ask harder questions than school parents do. They get the chapter breakdown and the trend, not a rank, and they get it without a phone call to the branch.
- Per-student chapter map
- Batch mean for context
- No rank, ever
End
Batch closed
The batch closes with a record of what it started at and what it finished at, per chapter. That is the number a renewal conversation should be about.
- Opening against closing map
- Exportable per student
- Bank carries into the next batch
Everything above repeats every batch. The bank is the only thing that accumulates.
What a multi-branch licence covers
Six things that break
Six things that break
the moment you open a second branch.
Every one of these is fine with one branch and painful with four. That is the whole difference.
Batches, not classes
A batch can span four cities and three shifts. Papers are assigned to the batch, so where a student physically sits stops mattering.
Repeats excluded per batch
Every question a batch has already been shown is remembered. A mock in week nine will not quietly reuse week three’s paper unless you ask it to.
Branch comparison that is fair
Same paper, same rubric, same difficulty ratio. A branch gap is finally about teaching rather than about who set the easier mock.
Franchise-safe scoping
A franchisee sees their branch and nothing else. Head office sees all of them. Faculty see their batches. The bank is shared; the results are not.
Weekly cycle, not termly
Built for institutes that test every week. Generating a mock is minutes, and the analytics update the same evening rather than at the end of a term.
Where a mock comes from
Four sources,
Four sources,
one weekly mock.
A weekly mock made entirely of fresh questions is unpredictable in a bad way. One made entirely of old questions is a memory test. You set the mix.
Questions your faculty approved
Everything written across every branch, tagged by chapter, difficulty and approver. The default backbone of a weekly mock, because it has already survived a batch.
Reach for it whenYou want the mock to behave the way your faculty expect it to.Real previous-year questions
Actual questions from prior years of the exam the batch is preparing for, matched to the chapters in scope. The closest a mock gets to the real thing.
Reach for it whenThe batch is inside the last two months and needs the real texture.Freshly drafted
New questions written against the chapter, never seen by this batch. What you reach for when the bank has been round the block with this cohort.
Reach for it whenYou need something the strong students in the batch cannot have seen.Typed in directly
A faculty member types the question they want, in the section they want it. It sits alongside the generated ones, counts toward the blueprint and lands in the bank afterwards.

The honest bit
“Our question bank
“Our question bank
is our business.”
Coaching institutes push back harder than schools, and on completely different things. These are the four we hear.
“Our question bank is our asset.”Agreed — which is why it stays yours
It is the asset. Your bank is not shared with other institutes, not pooled, and not used to train anything. Import it and it is tagged and searchable; export it and it comes back out in a format you can read. The only thing we add is the tagging that makes eight years of questions actually findable, which is usually the difference between owning a bank and having a folder.
“Branch heads will game the comparison.”Harder than you think
They cannot set an easier paper, because the paper is generated once for the batch and shuffled per candidate. They cannot mark more generously without it showing, because overrides are logged against a name and the agreement rate between faculty and the marker is published per branch. What a branch head can still do is teach the chapters that are coming up — which is not gaming, it is the point.
“We test weekly. Will this keep up?”That is what it was built for
Generating a mock from a scoped bank takes minutes rather than an evening, marking is same-day, and the chapter map updates that night. The constraint on a weekly cycle stops being how fast you can set and mark, and becomes how fast you can act on it — which is a better constraint to have.
“What about franchise branches?”Scoped separately, on purpose
A franchisee sees their own branch: their batches, their students, their results. They do not see other branches’ results, and depending on how you set it up they may draw from the shared bank without being able to export it. Head office sees everything. This is the arrangement most multi-city institutes need and it is not something you should have to negotiate.
The bank question is the one worth settling before anything else. If the answer above is not enough, ask us to put it in writing.
Questions
What institute owners
What institute owners
ask first.
The four that come up almost every time.
Yes, and most do. A batch belongs to a course and a schedule, not to a building. You can run a JEE batch spanning four branches sitting the same mock on the same evening, and a foundation batch that exists at one branch only, on the same licence at the same time. The only thing that has to match for a comparison to be meaningful is the paper, and that is handled by generating it once.
On import it flags near-duplicates rather than silently merging them, because two questions that look similar are often deliberately different — same concept, different numbers. You decide which to keep. After that, every question carries the chapter, difficulty and the batches it has already been shown to, so a mock will not repeat on a batch unless you explicitly ask for a repeat.
That is your choice, set per institute. Most share the bank across branches and keep results scoped — questions travel, marks do not. Franchise operations usually go further and let franchisees draw from the bank without being able to export it. Both are supported; neither is the default we assume.
Yes — the blueprint is yours to define, so a paper can follow whatever section, marks and negative-marking pattern the target exam uses. Negative marking is applied at scoring, and the chapter analytics account for it, so a student who lost marks by guessing shows up differently from one who lost them by not knowing. That distinction matters more in coaching than anywhere else.
