Fee Structure
IMS Classes offers a transparent, value-based fee structure at both branches. Because fees vary by course, grade, batch, and current offers, we don’t publish a fixed price list online — contact the Moshi or Charholi branch directly for accurate, current details. As a general pattern, Charholi’s fees tend to run slightly lower than Moshi’s for the same course, reflecting its smaller scale and more limited batch options.
Fees typically include tuition, study material, chapter tests, mock tests, and performance reports. Additional charges may apply for registration, cancellation, or special batches — ask about these directly when you enquire.

Student Testimonials
Moshi Branch Student (PCM)
“I’ve been attending IMS Classes Moshi since 2023 for JEE Main coaching. The faculty is excellent, and the integrated JEE + MHT-CET batch helped me prepare for both exams simultaneously. The mock tests were crucial for building exam temperament. I secured admission to VJTI Mumbai for Computer Engineering.”
— Rahul T., 2025 JEE Main qualifier, Moshi branch
Charholi Branch Student (Commerce)
“Joining IMS Classes Charholi was the best decision for my 12th Commerce. The teachers are supportive, the chapter-wise tests helped me identify weak areas, and the practical guidance made Accounts much easier. I’m now pursuing B.Com at Pune University.”
— Priya K., 2025 Commerce graduate, Charholi branch
Parent Feedback (Moshi)
“We chose Moshi branch because it offers all courses under one roof. Our son started with Science Regular (PCM) in 11th and later switched to Science Integrated (PCMB) when he decided to appear for both JEE and NEET. The flexibility and faculty coordination at Moshi branch made this possible. Highly recommended for parents who want course flexibility.”
