Gaurav Mittal
Founder, PAARTH
Gaurav Mittal is an alumnus of IIT Roorkee (B.Tech, Computer Science & Engineering) and has been involved in competitive examination preparation since 2007, with a sustained focus on Chemistry for JEE and NEET.
Over nearly two decades of teaching, mentoring, and academic leadership, his work has been shaped less by theory and more by direct exposure to how students actually perform under exam conditions.
Professional Trajectory
After graduating from IIT Roorkee, Gaurav Mittal chose to work in education and spent several years teaching in classroom-based coaching environments before founding PAARTH.
This period provided sustained, ground-level exposure to:
High-performing students
Students who worked hard but underperformed
Repeated patterns of mistakes across batches and years
These experiences formed the empirical basis of his approach to preparation.
What Experience Revealed
Across years of teaching, a consistent observation emerged:
Students rarely fail due to lack of effort or intelligence.
Performance deteriorates when:
Understanding is partial
Thinking becomes unstable under time pressure
Errors repeat despite practice
Recognising this gap became the central focus of his work.
How His Approach Evolved
In response, Gaurav Mittal progressively shifted emphasis:
From syllabus completion to concept integrity
From speed chasing to error analysis
From volume of practice to quality of reasoning
This evolution was not philosophical—it was driven by repeated classroom evidence and exam outcomes.
Role at PAARTH
At PAARTH, Gaurav Mittal remains directly responsible for:
Academic direction
Course structure and sequencing
Problem-solving methodology
Standards of clarity and discipline
PAARTH reflects his accumulated experience, translated into a repeatable preparation system rather than personality-driven instruction.
Authority and Results
Students mentored through his teaching have achieved strong outcomes in national-level examinations, including top ranks.
More importantly, the approach has shown consistency in:
Reducing avoidable errors
Improving clarity under pressure
Stabilising performance across exam cycles
This consistency is what informs the design of PAARTH.
Beyond the Immediate Outcome
While competitive examinations remain the immediate context, Gaurav Mittal’s work is guided by a longer view:
Preparation should produce learners who can:
Think independently
Adapt to new academic demands
Maintain clarity when stakes are high
This perspective defines both his teaching and the structure of PAARTH.
PAARTH is the outcome of long engagement with competitive preparation—refined through experience, tested under pressure, and systematised for consistency.
