Testimonials from Teachers and Former Colleagues
Prof. S. K. Saidapur FASc., FNA, FTWAS, FASc., Former Vice Chancellor, Karnatak University, and Founder Director, Karnataka State Higher Education Academy, Dharwad.
" Dr. Gopalakrishna Bhat, a former student of mine during his master’s degree class at Karnatak University, has started the UR Academy with a noble objective of training students to succeed in various competitive examinations like the NEET and others, and make their life shine with dignity, purpose and a mind of service for the nation. Dr. Bhat is a brilliant teacher and a researcher with innovative ideas and competency to translate his vision and mission into a reality. It is heartening to note that in just about two years many of his students have performed diligently and come out with flying colors in various competitive examinations. I wish him and the UR Academy a great success in the coming years ".
Dr. Bhagyashri A. Shanbhag FASc., FNA, FNASc. Former Professor of Zoology, Karnatak University, Dharwad.
" I know Dr. G.K. Bhat as he was M.Sc. student and later as a teacher fellow pursuing his doctorate degree on Apodans at Karnatak University, Dharwad. Dr. Bhat is academically oriented as well as endowed with extracurricular activities. Apart from his research on Apodan amphibians and discovery of 5 Amphibian species, he is a devoted teacher that fetched him best Teacher Award by Karnataka state. After his active service, he has involved himself in coaching students for entrance examinations after class XII. Several students coached by him secured high rankings in entrance examinations like CET, NEET, COMED-K etc, and have secured seats in several medical colleges. I have no doubt that his present endeavour of coaching- UR Academy- for writing CET/NEET examination for aspiring students for professional courses would be of great success and many students coached in this academy would be successful in getting higher ranks in CET/NEET "
Dr. A. B. Shanbhag, M.Sc., Ph. D. Former Professor of Zoology, Goa University, Goa.
" Dr. G.K. Bhat, as I know him from his postgraduate student days and as colleague during research, he was an intelligent, knowledgeable hardworking student, equally good in curricular and cocurricular activities. Because of his go-getter disposition, tenacity to work on 24/7 basis, dare devil attitude in fieldwork, and meticulous planning and execution in lab work, he could not only complete his research on apodans within stipulated period but also discover 4 new species hitherto not recorded from Karnataka and Goa belt to the group. The rich experience in teaching Biology must have nudged him to extend his helping hand to his students and also other aspirants from the area, seeking admissions to professional courses by cracking competitive examinations such as CET, NEET, etc. I earnestly believe in the adage ‘Success comes to those who dare and act.’ Therefore, I hereby wish all the success to UR Academy led by Dr. Bhat and his dedicated team ".

Testimonials from Former Students - Medicos
Dr Avica Atri
" I. Dr. Avica, MBBS graduate from CMC Vellore, was student of GK Bhat Sir during 2011-2013. My dream to be a doctor began in high school/ PUC and at that time Dr GKB was one of the teachers at the forefront of the medical entrance exam coaching, without whose guidance and unique teaching style, I probably would not have been able to grasp the intricacies of basic biology and in turn, achieve my dreams of making it into a good medical college. The overall coaching and study tactics introduced to me by GKB Sir, not only got me through the entrance exams, both at the state and national levels, but also, in my opinion held me in good stead throughout my study at medical college, as a strong foundation is always of immense help, especially in a field like medicine ".
Dr. Amoolya
" My name is Dr. Amoolya, MBBS graduate from BMC, Bangalore. I'm presently preparing for my PG medical entrance exam. I attended classes by Dr. GK Bhat Sir for my UG medical entrance exam training.

He came up with many strategies so that we could have effective learning not just in his subject as well as in all the other subjects.

His way of teaching would usually create a visual memory which enable us to remember a lot just by attending his classes. Sir’s classes used to be a lot of fun and exciting.

Dr GKB Sir was always a source of motivation and inspiration for us. The amount of commitment, dedication and enthusiasm he used to provide for preparing us very well for our K-CET, AIPMT exams was par excellence and spellbound. And one of the main reasons for the word `Dr’ before my name could be credited to Dr GKB Sir. I am grateful forever to Dr GKB Sir for his constant encouragement and support throughout the preparation phase till I reached my goal. Lastly, I want to say that, if you want to crack any medical entrance competitive exams and pursue your dream course, then please do take guidance and support from Dr GKB Sir ".

I am always grateful forever to GKB Sir for encouraging me throughout the preparation phase till I reached my goal. All I want to say is, if you want to crack competitive exams and pursue your dream course, then there is no better person than GKB Sir to guide you.

Dr. Vidula
" I am Dr. Vidula and I completed my MBBS at KIMS, Bangalore in the year 2021. I believe that I was very lucky to have had GKB Sir as my professor during one of the most crucial years of my studies. His classes were so immensely engaging and interesting that it made me fall in love with the subject. He taught us not only just the subject of zoology but also the values of discipline and perseverance. He always pushed us to work harder because he believed in us. But most importantly, he made us believe in ourselves and our potential to achieve our dreams, and for that, I’m eternally grateful to him ".

" I was a student of Dr. G K Bhat Sir during both PU and UG levels. I was immensely influenced by his teaching to take up life science as my career. Besides a good teacher, he is also an eminent researcher working on caecilian, avian and butterfly diversity of Western Ghats. He guided us ecological field studies on floral and faunal diversity of Western Ghats during my undergraduate course. I am very proud to say that because of his continuous support and encouragement, I took plant taxonomy as a career that later brought me to teaching profession. From past two decades he is successfully coaching PU students for KCET and NEET exams. It is a life time opportunity to learn from him. Hence, I request all the parents to give their wards a chance to get training from such an eminent scholar and let their career blossom ".

I'm the student of UR Academy Bengaluru. I joined this Institution for my NEET - 2021 preparation. All the teachers of the three subjects take special care of us and there is always an interaction between us and teachers. Tests are conducted every fortnight and my marks have been increasing from test to test. And every alternate Sundays after the test, Parent- Teacher meeting is conducted. In the last year I got 200 marks in my NEET but after joining this institution it has boosted my marks to around 500. So, I'm very lucky to be in this Institute. I'm sure with this preparation I could get into my dream medical college. I request my juniors dreaming to be a doctor to join the UR Academy so as to fulfill their dreams ".
