The Journey of Respected V. K. Bansal Sir (Founder of BANSAL CLASSES, Kota)
Ever heard of Bansal Classes?
Yes, Its the Most Popular Brand in JEE Coaching. The only classroom coaching to deliver Five Times AIR-1 (All India Rank-1) in the JEE since its inception. Moreover guiding the youth of our country to become successful engineering graduates from top colleges like IITs. But we are not here to talk about the classes; we are here to know more about the man behind it.
BANSAL CLASSES was founded by Vinod Kumar Bansal, is a mechanical engineer from BHU, and holds an M.Tech and Ph.D degree from IIT Delhi.
Vinod Kumar Bansal, popularly known as VKB among his students, was born in Jhansi India on October 26, 1946. He graduated in mechanical engineering at the Banaras Hindu University (currently known as Indian Institute of Technology, BHU) in 1971. After graduation, he got married and moved to Kota, Rajasthan, as an engineer at JK Synthetics, a chemicals company.
In 1974, Vinod was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, which left him physically impaired, and was predicted to shorten his lifespan.
His dream of becoming a chief engineer was cut short by muscular dystrophy, a degenerative disease without a cure.
In 1983, he met with G. D. Agrawal of Mumbai, who inspired him to start coaching students for IIT JEE, the entrance test for the Indian Institutes of Technology. Subsequently, he left his engineering job and started training students, initially at his dining-room table. A few of his students managed to pass the IIT JEE, and in 1991, he founded Bansal Classes.
On asking if he finds satisfaction in teaching, he replied- “Satisfaction? Oh my god. This is my life. I cannot do anything else apart from teaching. And since I cannot do anything other than teaching, I can do it the best. Nobody can work harder than me as a teacher. Anyone else, who is not disabled, has a lot of other distractions in life.”

Not just him, but the Bansal Family followed him in doing this great act for society and in 1997, his daughter Pooja Bansal joined her father’s legacy and started teaching mathematics too. His son, Sameer Bansal and daughter-in-law Mahima Bansal have also been teaching from past many years for the same. Even at the age of 69, VKB Sir is still very active and he takes regular classes for Bansal Classes.
His younger brother P K Bansal has undoubtedly helped him nurture the very sustenance of this institute which has been and continues to be in limelight for IIT JEE preparation in the whole country.
And there are two books on his life, ‘IT ALL ADDS UP’ & 'FROM LANTERN TO LIGHTHOUSE' written by Sachin Jha.
