The Beginning

From Jalandhar to NIT Warangal — and back.

Er. Neeraj Anand was born and raised in Jalandhar. After completing his schooling, he left for NIT Warangal — one of India’s premier engineering institutions — where he spent four years studying Electronics and Communication Engineering. Those years, he has said, changed how he saw the world: not just the science, but the possibility of what a good education could do.

He came back to Jalandhar in 1996. Not to take up a corporate job or settle into something comfortable. He came back to teach. That choice — deliberate, quiet, and then decades long — is what Anand Classes was built on.

“When I stand at the podium to teach these bright stars of India, what a satisfying feeling it is.”

— Er. Neeraj Anand

Inside the Classroom

He still teaches every class himself.

At most coaching institutes, the founder becomes an administrator over time — someone whose name appears on the brochure but not on the timetable. At Anand Classes, Er. Neeraj Anand personally teaches the classes, designs the study material, and is available to clear doubts one-on-one whenever a student needs it — even separately, outside scheduled hours.

The study material is updated every year. Not reprinted — updated. Because the JEE and NEET patterns shift, and he believes a student should be prepared for the exam as it actually is, not as it was five years ago.

His classroom approach is grounded in one principle: basics first, always. A student who understands why a formula works can solve problems they’ve never seen before. One who has only memorised it can’t. That distinction drives every class he teaches.

Beyond Teaching

He built an institution around education — not just a coaching centre.

In 2002, alongside running Anand Classes, Er. Neeraj Anand founded Anand Technical Publishers — a publishing house focused on academic and competitive exam books. Over the years it grew into a respected name in the field, with over 400 titles published across Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Information Technology.

In 2014, he launched National Education News — a newspaper dedicated to academic developments in India. It was built on a simple observation: students and parents often lack timely, reliable information about exams, eligibility, and institutional changes. The newspaper was his attempt to close that gap.

Three ventures. One city. One person at the centre of all of them — still teaching.
