- Classes 6-10: ₹400-₹800 per hour
- Classes 11-12: ₹600-₹1,200 per hour
- IIT-JEE / NEET: ₹900-₹2,000 per hour
By city
Metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru are 20-40% higher than Lucknow, Kanpur or Patna. Online tuition removes this gap — you can learn from a top Bengaluru tutor while living in Gorakhpur.
Getting the best value
