Batch capacity planner

Work out how many batches a centre needs from expected enrolment, room capacity, faculty availability and the hours each batch requires — and see where a waitlist will form before the intake rather than after it.

Plans against the capacity you enter. A room listed at sixty that seats forty will produce a plan that does not survive the first week.

Most centres plan batches from last year plus optimism. The constraint is rarely enrolment — it is usually rooms in the 6pm to 8pm window, or one faculty member who teaches the subject everyone wants.

The constraint is almost always the evening window

School students are available between roughly 5pm and 8:30pm on weekdays. That is three usable slots, and every batch wants one of them. A centre with six rooms therefore has eighteen weekday evening batch slots, regardless of how many students want to enrol.

Once that arithmetic is visible, the options become clear: weekend batches, morning batches for repeaters, or another room. Most centres discover the ceiling by hitting it in July rather than by calculating it in April.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Phrased the way they arrive, answered so each one stands on its own.

How many students should a coaching batch have?

It depends on the subject and the format, but the practical constraint is usually the room and the faculty rather than a pedagogical ideal. Plan from what you actually have and be honest about the capacity you enter.

What is the usual bottleneck?

Weekday evening slots. School students are available for roughly three hours on a weekday, which caps how many batches a given number of rooms can run regardless of demand.
