About Atul Bakle Sir and Bakle Classes
Founder: Atul Bakle
Bakle Classes is founded and led by Mr. Atul Bakle, a teacher with an unhealthy obsession with making numbers, formulas, and logic problems actually fun. Atul firmly believes that the key to mastering entrance exams like CAT, MBA-CET, and Bank PO isn’t about memorizing endless formulas or cramming the night before (though, we won’t judge if you try). It’s about understanding the underlying concepts in a way that makes them stick—without the panic and stress.
Once an average student, Atul worked his way up to the top ranks, and now he’s on a mission to prove that anyone can do the same. If he can go from “I don’t get this” to “I’ve got this,” so can you. With an MBA from Sydenham Institute, Mumbai, and years of experience teaching students across Pune and Solapur, he has helped countless students crack the toughest entrance exams with confidence.
Atul founded Bakle Classes with one goal in mind: to provide top-notch coaching that blends conceptual understanding with exam-specific strategies. No more last-minute cramming. No more relying on shortcuts you don’t fully understand. Just solid, effective learning that makes sense.
Our Teaching Methodology
- At Bakle Classes, we don’t believe in teaching by rote (sorry, memorizing random shortcuts is not the solution). Instead, we focus on understanding the “why” and “how” behind every concept. Here’s how we do it:
-
- Conceptual Mastery: You won’t just memorize formulas like they’re your grocery list. You’ll understand where they come from, how they work, and when to apply them. After all, memorizing “x = -b ± √(b²-4ac)” without understanding it is like trying to drive a car without knowing what the steering wheel does. Trust us, it’s much easier once you get it.
- Problem-Solving with Purpose: We won’t just teach you how to blindly follow steps to get the right answer. Instead, we’ll help you understand why those steps work, and how to identify which method is best for any given problem. In other words, we’ll help you make decisions faster than you can say “logical reasoning.”
- Enjoyable Learning: Yes, you can enjoy learning for an exam as intense as the CAT or Bank PO. We promise it’s possible when you stop seeing it as a never-ending maze of puzzles. When you understand, it’s like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel—but with fewer headaches.
- Strategic Exam Preparation: We’ll guide you through exam-specific strategies and tips. After all, exams like CAT are as much about time management as they are about knowledge. We’ll teach you how to solve problems quickly and efficiently without getting caught in the “I can’t finish this section in time!” trap.
- Balanced Memorization: Yes, there are some things you’ll need to memorize (like some values for quick calculations, and formulas for topics like mensuration). But don’t worry, we’ll make sure you know why and when to use them—no more memorizing for the sake of it. It’s all about making that memorization work for you.
Advice for students
Let’s face it: These entrance exams are not about just remembering formulas like your multiplication tables. Understanding the concepts behind the formulas is what will make you shine.
Sure, it’s tempting to rely on shortcuts that promise a quick win, but using them without understanding could leave you stranded in the middle of an exam. Think of shortcuts like magic tricks—if you don’t understand how they work, it’s easy to get caught in the illusion.
The key to cracking the aptitude tests is learning why something works, how to apply it, and when to make the right call. Once you understand the logic, solving problems becomes faster and less stressful.
Here’s our advice (straight from the “How to Own the MBA Entrance Exam” guide):
- Spend time understanding the core concepts—whether it’s algebra, geometry, or data interpretation. Get comfortable with logic and reasoning, and your brain will do the hard work for you when it counts.
- Practice mock tests (yes, we know they’re stressful, but it’s the best way to simulate the real exam and boost your confidence).
- After every mock test, take time to analyze your performance. Identify weak areas and work on improving them—think of it as leveling up in a video game (except you don’t get extra lives).
If you can learn to enjoy the process and solve problems with confidence, you’ll not only ace your exams—you’ll do it with style. All the best!
