Can students from outside Mumbai join offline batches?
Yes, as long as you can travel to one of our two branches, Dadar (E) or Thane (W). All Upside batches are classroom-only. Students from Navi Mumbai, Kalyan, Dombivli and Bhiwandi often choose the Thane branch, which is 2 minutes from Thane Station. Weekend batches can make the commute easier. Call +91 99304 40999 to […]
Is there an age limit to join a course?
There’s no strict upper age limit — Upside courses welcome students, working professionals, homemakers and retirees alike; a minimum age (typically 18, aligned with account-opening requirements) generally applies. Since actual trading requires a Demat and Trading account (which has its own age requirements under SEBI rules), course enrolment for younger students focuses on building foundational […]
What happens if I miss a class?
Classes are conducted live and in-person, so if you miss one, check with your batch coordinator about notes or the best way to catch up on that topic before the next session. Because live sessions often build on the previous class’s concepts, it’s best to catch up as soon as possible rather than let gaps […]
Can working professionals attend weekend-only batches?
Yes. Upside offers weekday, weekend and evening batches designed for working professionals. Confirm current weekend availability with our admissions team. Exact weekend timings vary by course and branch (Dadar or Thane), so check the schedule for your chosen course when you enquire on +91 99304 40999.
Do batches fill up quickly, or is seating flexible?
Batch sizes are kept limited to maintain teaching quality, so popular timings can fill up — confirm seat availability directly with our admissions team before planning your enrolment date. Smaller batch sizes allow more individual attention and doubt-clearing during live sessions, part of why Upside caps enrolment per batch. If your preferred timing is full, […]
Is GST included in the course fee?
Course fees quoted by Upside are generally inclusive of applicable taxes, but it’s worth confirming the exact breakdown with our admissions team at the time of enrolment. Tax treatment on educational services can vary, so getting written confirmation of the final payable amount before enrolling ensures there’s no ambiguity. This is a quick check during […]
Can I pay fees by credit card or EMI?
Yes — flexible installment options are available across every Upside program, and specific payment methods (including card payments) can be confirmed with our admissions team. Since payment gateway options can change over time, it’s best to confirm the exact modes accepted (UPI, card, bank transfer, EMI) at the time of enrolment. Call +91 99304 40999 […]
