NoMoreClass-Best Coaching Center in Bangalore
They say it is not how you start but how you finish. Amogh Nene of the ITY 2021–23 batch at NoMoreClass wrote one of the most complete turnaround stories in the institute's records. In Class 11 nobody would have picked him as a future BITS student. He enjoyed the classes, leaned on his intelligence rather than his effort, and had not yet registered the size of the mountain in front of him. Then something clicked. What followed was a Class 12 preparation year so intense that his parents began worrying about his health. This is how the pivot actually worked, and what it cost.
Amogh is refreshingly honest about where he began. If you had seen him in Class 11, he says, you would not have guessed he was headed for BITS.
He was the playful student. He enjoyed the lectures and got by on natural ability, which is exactly the trap that catches capable students in a two-year programme. Ability carries you through Class 11 content and then stops carrying you somewhere inside Class 12 preparation. Because effort had never been necessary, he had not built the habit of it. That gap, not the syllabus, was the real problem waiting for him.
As he entered Class 12, something clicked. He realised his ambitions demanded more than showing up, and he decided to go all in.
The change was total rather than gradual. His Class 12 preparation became the organising principle of his day: long unbroken sessions buried in the NMC study material, with a clarity of purpose that had been entirely absent a year earlier. He describes himself as fully charged, working towards a vision he was no longer willing to negotiate with. For a student who had coasted, that transition is genuinely difficult, and doing it in one year is rarer than the story makes it sound.
There is a detail in Amogh's account that deserves to be reported rather than celebrated. During this period he lost five kilograms, largely from sitting continuously and studying, and his parents began getting worried about his health.
He was, in his own words, fully charged and unwilling to stop. But intensity of that kind is not the transferable lesson here, and NoMoreClass does not hold it up as the model. The commitment behind it is what produced the result. Sleep, meals and movement protect the very focus a student is trying to build, and Class 12 preparation runs better with them than without.

Amogh Nene — ITY 2021–23
Amogh credits Deepak Solanki Sir's classes with turning his curiosity into an actual passion. As an IITian and published author, his depth in the subject is considerable.
What mattered more, though, was framing. Deepak Sir did not simply teach him Physics; he showed him why the subject is worth finding beautiful. That distinction sustains a student through the exhausted weeks when discipline alone runs thin. Whenever Amogh felt drained, the continuous motivation and the logical clarity of those authored books kept him moving forward instead of stalling.
In Mathematics, Mr. R. S. Sharma was, as Amogh puts it, his North Star. His background as an IITian author meant he knew every shortcut and, more usefully, every conceptual trap.
Raw energy without direction produces long hours and mediocre marks. Sharma Sir's contribution was teaching Amogh where to point the effort: which problem-solving techniques repay practice, and which habits quietly cost marks under time pressure. That is what converted an intense Class 12 preparation year into scores rather than merely into fatigue.
What sustained him through the long sessions was the quality and consistency of the books. Because the faculty author the material, there is a seamless connection between the lecture and the practice done at home.
For a turnaround student this matters twice over. Amogh was not only learning Class 12 content; he was simultaneously recovering everything he had let slide in Class 11. Any friction between class notes and textbook would have doubled that workload. Instead the consistency let him catch up on the previous year and move past his own expectations in the same stretch.
The honest answer from Amogh's case is yes, with conditions. A single year of serious Class 12 preparation is enough when the foundation from Class 11 is recoverable, when the material is structured for catch-up, and when mentors are close enough to keep redirecting the effort.
It is not enough if the student is working alone or if the intensity is unsupported. Amogh's own explanation is that seeing his teachers put in as much effort as he did made it impossible not to stay motivated. Class 12 preparation of this kind is a team output, even when it looks like a solo performance.
That charged year paid off. Amogh successfully cracked BITSAT.
His conclusion is that you can change your destiny in a single year if you have the right mentors to guide the fire. At NMC, as he puts it, they do not just give you notes; they give you a reason to win. For parents watching a capable child coast through Class 11, the useful part of this story is not the intensity. It is that the switch flipped because someone was close enough to help him aim it.
Amogh Nene did exactly that, then rebuilt his Class 12 preparation and cracked BITSAT. The NoMoreClass ITY integrated programme in Sahakara Nagar, North Bengaluru is designed so a student can recover a slow first year without abandoning the second.
