Director's Message

Dear Students/Parents

APEX INSTITUTE has been established with sincere and positive resolve to do something rewarding for
ENGG. / PRE-MEDICAL aspirants. For this the APEX INSTITUTE has been instituted to provide a
relentlessly
motivating
and
competitive
atmosphere.
As It is very important to discover the basic weaknesses and problems of students not succeeding in IITJEE / PRE-MEDICAL exams. In fact, as question patterns are changing, now you need to have a different
approach for these exams. As far as ENGG. / PRE-MEDICAL preparations is concerned, students have
been wasting time and energy, studying Physics, Chemistry and Maths at different places. At APEX
INSTITUTE, the scope of the subject has been deliberately made all- inclusive to free them of this
burden. APEX INSTITUTE offers you complete preparation for IIT-JEE/PRE-MED. exams under one
roof.
Grooming at the APEX INSTITUTE is done methodically focusing on understanding of the subject,
tricks of tackling the questions and above all enthusing students with self confidence, ambition and a
'never say give up' spirit. As secrets of success these are no substitutes for hard work and patience. These
qualities, the APEX INSTITUTE ensures will be developed in students in full measure perhaps luck plays
some role in one's life and career. But it is also a universal truth that before proper grasps of subject.
Intelligent preparation and perservance even adverse luck does not stand a chance.

With this mantra success is sure to come your way. At APEX INSTITUTE we strive our best to realize
the
Alchemist's
dream
of
turning
'base
metal'
into
'gold'.

With best wishes.

part, the third part is multiplied by 2, and the fourth part is divided by 2, then the resulting
number is the same in each case.
