Our Vision

The Journey
Pathfinder was established three decades ago with a small number of students but with a big dream — a dream to impart holistic education to the students of Eastern India and help them in building a successful professional career through outstanding academic performance.
Today that dream has turned into a reality. After setting new benchmarks for success, year after year, Pathfinder is now regarded as the No. 1 Institute in Eastern India for guiding students in Competitive exams like JEE (Main & Advanced), NEET-UG, AIIMS, WBJEE, Olympiads, NTSE and KVPY as well as in all class X and XII Board exams like CBSE (X & XII), ICSE, ISC, Madhyamik and H.S.
After three decades of creating excellence in the domain of education, Pathfinder now looks forward to offering yet more opportunities and helping the students to turn their aspirations into reality.
The Team
Pathfinder is led by a team of spirited young professionals who firmly believe that education driven via conceptual clarity will bring the interest in any subject and that will bring the next wave of growth in the Country.
Chairman’s Message
Success does not mean the absence of failure; it means the attainment of ultimate objectives. Pathfinder was founded in 1991 with one objective — To spread the spirit of success through education among the students of West Bengal and Eastern India. In the last three decades, we have established the name of Pathfinder beyond Eastern India – across the country.
Today Pathfinder is more than just a coaching institute in West Bengal.It is , in the true sense , a place for mentoring students for prestigious professional examinations like JEE (Main & Advanced), NEET-UG, WBJEE, AIIMS, BITSAT, IISc, KVPY among others.
Furthermore, in the last two decades, the performance of the West Bengal students in national level exams was quite dismal. After exclusive research and extensive analyses, we have taken two important steps. Firstly, we are grooming young students from class VII onward by providing integrated Science courses to compete successfully for NTSE, NSEJS, Olympiads as well as KVPY and All-India Engineering and Medical entrance exams in subsequent academic years.
Secondly, we have completely overhauled our teaching methodology. A team of Specialist teachers have developed an integrated guidance programme after extensive research and analysis of the various courses.This helps our students to come out with Top Ranks in National level Competitive exams as well as Board exams.
At Pathfinder,we are proud to say “Transforming average students to achieve excellence is our habit”. We have a long way to go before we achieve our goal of being the Topmost educational group in the country. I also vow that we shall not rest on our laurels till we achieve our objective of making the dreams of our students come true.
My heartiest welcome to all our newly joined students in Pathfinder – you are our future, you are our pride.

Why should students or parents consider choosing PATHFIDNER?
- Our Success Mantra: Our ‘Tailor-Made Teaching Methodologies’, expert guidance and result-oriented mentoring supplemented by requisite quality study material and practice test series with regular evaluation, are our success mantras.
- Integrated Study Material: Our ‘Study Material’ is conceptually designed, which caters to the competitive as well as academic needs of the students. It is a perfect blend of information, analysis, and focused inputs that ensure success.
- Trained & Competent Faculty: We recruit competent teachers through multiple rounds of tests and interviews. After all the new recruits are trained and fully equipped with teaching skills and have gained enough confidence; they are assigned batches to teach.
- Teaching Methodology: The teaching methodology we follow always helps students clear their fundamental concepts in a practicable manner. This technique enables the students to grasp the subject matter in a fast, easy and tricky way so that they could solve maximum questions in minimum time in the actual examination. In addition, this technique sharpens the mental ability of the students.
- Competitive Environment: Our competent and committed faculties have created a competitive environment among the students over the years and have been consistently producing excellent results year after year.

- Assessments: We conduct regular tests, designed on the latest patterns of the entrance examinations to assess the real preparation level of students. This helps streamline their preparation ensuring their success.
- Parent Teacher Meeting (PTM): PTM is conducted to keep the parents updated with absenteeism and performance of their wards.
