Coaching Institute Batch Planning: Size, Timings and Faculty

Short answer: plan each batch with a fixed capacity, a schedule, a start and end date and an assigned faculty member. Open a new batch only when the current one is close to full, and track enrolments against capacity weekly during admissions.

Deciding batch size

• Start from the room or online class limit and how much individual attention the course needs.
• Work out the break-even number: faculty cost and room cost divided by fee per student.
• Set capacity between break-even and the teaching limit.

Timings that fill batches

• School students: after school and weekend batches.
• College students and job-seekers: early morning and evening.
• Avoid two batches of the same course at overlapping times until the first is full.

Faculty assignment

Assign a named faculty member to each batch and check that nobody is double-booked across batches.

During admissions

1. Review enrolments against capacity every week.
2. Merge or delay batches that will not reach break-even.
3. Collect the first fee instalment at enrolment so seats are real.
