What Parents Say!
"
Merit Classes transformed my twins completely. When they joined, they were capable but had no study strategy. In six months, both went from 58% to 79% in their Class 9 CBSE midterms. Ruchi Ma'am knows exactly how to reach each child differently.
★★★★★

"
My son joined for Class 9 and 10 Maths and Science (CBSE). He was struggling badly — around 52% in Maths. By Class 10 boards, he scored 84 in Maths and 91 in Science. This institute is genuinely different from the usual tuition centres.
★★★★★

My daughter was in Class 11 CBSE Biology and Chemistry. She used to panic before every test. After joining Merit Classes, not only did her marks improve — she started enjoying Chemistry! She scored 88 in Chemistry in her boards. Highly recommend Madhukar Sir's Physics and Chemistry sessions.
★★★★★

Yashica Ma'am's Class 12 Mathematics coaching is exceptional. My son was at 61% in his prelims and scored 79 in the board exam. The way she breaks down Calculus and Vectors makes it feel simple. Small batches, personal attention, genuine care — what more can parents ask for?
★★★★★
— Mrs. Patil · Class 12, HSC · 2025
"
My daughter appeared for Class 10 ICSE boards this year. She joined Merit Classes in Class 8 and never looked back. Her English Literature and History scores went from average to distinction. The way Ruchi Ma'am nurtures children is something you don't see anywhere else in Pune.
★★★★★

We moved to Keshav Nagar last year and were worried about finding good coaching near Mundhwa. Merit Classes was recommended by three different parents in our building. Now I know why. Ruchi Ma'am personally tracks every child's progress. Fees are reasonable, batches are small, and results are real.
Founder & Director · 22+ Years Teaching & Counselling Experience
Ruchi Ma'am has guided 500+ students and families through critical decisions — from stream selection to board changes, from career confusion to confidence rebuilding. Her approach: listen first, advise second, and always put the child at the centre.
✨ A Parent's Story
"My son wanted to take PCB but was failing in Physics. We were panicking about his Class 11 choices. One session with Ruchi Ma'am and everything became clear. She identified that it wasn't a lack of ability — it was the wrong teaching approach for his learning style. Six months later, he scored 82 in Physics and is now in a top medical college. I still can't believe one conversation changed everything." — Mrs. Krishnamurthy, CBSE Class 11–12 Parent · 2023

Located in the heart of Keshav Nagar, Pune, we have been nurturing students for over two decades. From humble beginnings, Merit has grown into a trusted name for quality coaching and meaningful counselling.

To provide personalized, high-quality academic coaching and counselling that empowers students to achieve their goals while developing into confident and responsible individuals.
📅 OUR JOURNEY
From a Dream to a Legacy
2013
🌱 The Beginning — Wadgaon Sheri, Pune
Ruchi Puri started Merit Classes with a handful of students and one unwavering belief — that every child deserves a teacher who truly cares. From a small room in Wadgaon Sheri, the journey of nurturing talent began. The first batch was small, but the results spoke louder than words.
2016
📈 Growing Reputation — 100+ Students
Word spread fast. Parents who had seen their children transform — from unsure to confident, from struggling to achieving — became our strongest advocates. Merit Classes crossed 100 students, and demand kept growing. Every board season brought smiles, distinction percentages, and tearful thank-you letters.
2018
🏠 New Home — Keshav Nagar, Pune
A bigger dream needed a bigger home. Merit Classes moved to Keshav Nagar — a dedicated, purpose-built space where students could learn, ask questions without fear, and feel genuinely supported. With expert faculty joining hands, Merit expanded to Classes 11 and 12, adding Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
2020
💻 Adapting Through COVID — Zero Disruption
When the pandemic forced schools to close, Merit Classes was ready. Online classes, regular check-ins, and personal attention through screens — our students never lost momentum. Not a single board-year student was left unprepared. The 100% result streak continued.
NOW
🎓 Today — 12 Years, 500+ Families, Still Growing
Now in our 12th year, Merit Classes has coached over 500 students from CBSE, ICSE and HSC boards across Classes 8 to 12. Our students sit in engineering colleges, medical colleges, and top universities — carrying with them not just marks, but the confidence that Ruchi Ma'am believed in them before they believed in themselves. And we're only getting started.
