Aspire Study
Aspire Study is a private coaching institute based in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. Established in 2018 by Shivam Gupta, the institute specializes in postgraduate entrance examination preparation for computer applications. It focuses on NIMCET, CUET PG MCA, and MAH MCA CET, offering both classroom-based and online learning. Over the years, Aspire Study has become known for producing top-ranked candidates and providing affordable, accessible education for students across India.
Background and Founding
Aspire Study was founded in 2018 by Shivam Gupta. The idea originated from the lack of specialized coaching for MCA entrance examinations, an area overshadowed by the dominance of engineering and medical test preparation in India. Gupta envisioned a platform that would exclusively cater to MCA aspirants, filling a significant gap in the education sector.[1]
Initially, the institute started with a single classroom in Kanpur. Its structured approach and focus on postgraduate computer application entrance tests quickly gained popularity. With the rise of digital education, Aspire Study expanded to online platforms, offering lectures, test series, and guidance accessible to students nationwide.
Academic Approach
Aspire Study follows a structured teaching methodology that aligns with the syllabi of NIMCET, CUET PG MCA, and MAH MCA CET. The programs include:
- Live and recorded lectures
- Topic-wise assignments
- Regular mock tests
- Revision sessions
In addition to group classes, the institute emphasizes personal mentorship and doubt-solving sessions. Mock examinations are designed to replicate national-level standards, enabling students to assess their performance competitively. This hybrid model—combining offline and online teaching—has allowed Aspire Study to reach students in tier-2 and tier-3 cities effectively.
Courses Offered
The institute provides preparatory programs in multiple formats, including:
- Full-length foundation courses
- Crash courses for last-minute preparation
- Test series and practice sets
Student Results
Over the years, Aspire Study has produced successful candidates in postgraduate entrance examinations. In 2025, the institute reported that more than 550 students secured admission through NIMCET, CUET PG MCA, and MAH MCA CET.[2]
One of its students, Ayush Garg, achieved exceptional results:
- All India Rank 1 in CUET PG MCA 2025
- All India Rank 2 in NIMCET 2025
- 100 percentile in MAH MCA CET 2025
In addition, several Aspire Study candidates ranked within the top 100 in NIMCET 2025, while others secured admission to prestigious institutions such as Delhi University, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), and Banaras Hindu University (BHU). These results have reinforced the institute’s reputation as a leading center for MCA entrance preparation.
Faculty and Leadership
Aspire Study reports having a team of educators specializing in mathematics, logical reasoning, computer awareness, and language skills. Many faculty members are alumni of prominent Indian universities with years of experience in competitive exam coaching.
Founder and Director Shivam Gupta continues to play an active role in academic activities, course design, and mentorship. Under his leadership, the institute emphasizes structured evaluation systems, student performance tracking, and adapting teaching practices based on evolving exam trends and student feedback.
Digital Presence
Beyond its physical classroom programs in Kanpur, Aspire Study has built a significant digital presence. The institute maintains an official website and engages students through platforms such as YouTube and Instagram, where it shares:
- Video lectures and tutorials
- Exam preparation strategies
- Study tips and motivational content
- Updates on MCA entrance examinations
These digital resources extend Aspire Study’s reach to students who cannot attend in-person classes, allowing learners from smaller towns and remote areas to access quality guidance.
Reach and Accessibility
Although headquartered in Kanpur, Aspire Study serves students from across India. Its online courses have been particularly impactful for aspirants from tier-2 and tier-3 cities, providing flexible and affordable options for test preparation.
The institute highlights affordability and accessibility as core elements of its model, aiming to support students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. This approach has contributed to its rapid growth and popularity among MCA aspirants nationwide.
Outlook
Since its establishment, Aspire Study has maintained a focused approach to postgraduate computer application entrance coaching, distinguishing itself from institutes dedicated to broader competitive exams like engineering or medical tests.
With the rise of hybrid learning models in India, Aspire Study is expected to continue expanding its digital infrastructure while sustaining its classroom teaching. Its specialization in MCA preparation ensures that it remains a dedicated and reliable platform for aspirants aiming for success in postgraduate entrance examinations.
