Building a New Benchmark in Science Education
In an era where competition in Engineering and Medical entrance examinations has intensified, the founders of Growth Academy identified the urgent need for structured, student-centric coaching. With examinations like JEE, NEET, and MHT-CET becoming increasingly challenging, the team established Growth Academy as a reliable and performance-driven academic platform in Nashik.
Under their leadership, the institute has successfully mentored over 5,000 students, many of whom have secured admissions in reputed engineering and medical colleges across the country.
Why the Maharashtra Business Icon Award Matters
The Maharashtra Business Icon Award is not merely a symbol of commercial success—it recognises institutions that create meaningful impact in their respective sectors. Growth Academy’s selection was driven by its innovative teaching methods, expert faculty guidance, disciplined academic planning, and consistent results.
Since the announcement, the achievement has drawn widespread appreciation from students, parents, and education stakeholders across Nashik and neighbouring regions.
Strong Foundations Through Focused Teaching
At the core of Growth Academy’s success lies its emphasis on conceptual clarity and strong foundations rather than rote learning. The institute offers specialised coaching across key academic and competitive domains:
-
JEE (Main & Advanced): Emphasis on logical reasoning, problem-solving skills, and intensive practice
-
NEET: In-depth preparation in Biology, Physics, and Chemistry for medical aspirants
-
MHT-CET: Strategic training focused on speed, accuracy, and exam-oriented performance
-
HSC Board Exams: Separate, structured preparation ensuring excellence in state board results alongside competitive exams
Limited Batch Size, Maximum Attention
Unlike conventional coaching centres that accommodate hundreds of students per batch, Growth Academy follows a strict cap of just 50 students per batch. This model allows the professors to provide individual attention, closely monitor progress, and address each student’s academic challenges—an approach that has proven instrumental in consistent success.
Expanding Reach with Quality Infrastructure
To meet growing demand, Growth Academy currently operates two fully equipped branches in Nashik. The branch at Jehan Circle on Gangapur Road is fitted with modern classrooms and offers a focused, student-friendly learning environment.
Trust Earned Through Results
More than 5,000 students and their families have placed their trust in Growth Academy over the years. Many alumni are now pursuing education in prestigious institutions or building successful professional careers. This enduring trust played a key role in the academy being honoured with the Maharashtra Business Icon 2026 Award.
Founders Speak: A Shared Responsibility
While accepting the award, the founding professors—Prof. Jagdish Patel, Prof. Vishvajeet Rajput, Prof. Piyush Patil, and Prof. Darshan Kasar—shared a unified message:
“This award belongs not only to us, but to the parents who trusted our vision and the students who worked relentlessly to achieve their goals. Our mission is to continuously raise the standard of education in Nashik and empower talented students, including those from rural backgrounds, to compete at a global level. This honour has increased our responsibility manifold.”
A Journey of Excellence Continues
