I took Brilliant Tutorials’ correspondence. Their sets were very supportiveand had good level of questions. Especially in Biology part the BrilliantTutorial sets tried to expose us to full knowledge and covered almost alltopics without omitting any details. I did not take classroom coaching soBrilliant Tutorials correspondence course was definitely a great help. Theirdoubt sessions through letters was a major help in clearing our doubts. TheQuestion Banks, Simulator Test Series, the Compendium had manyQuestions which were asked in various PMTs.
