Meet The Teacher: Pooja Varma, NEET Biology

When you step into Pooja Ma'am's classroom, you’re stepping into an environment where concepts come alive, where discipline meets compassion. 

You witness dreams of becoming a doctor begin to take shape. 

Pooja Ma’am’s educational background includes an M.Sc. in Botany and a B.Ed., equipping her with the perfect blend of subject expertise and teaching skills.

This strong foundation enables her to break down complex biological concepts into digestible lessons that resonate deeply with her students.

With an illustrious 25-year teaching career, including 14 impactful years at Kalrashukla Classes, Pooja Ma’am has been a beacon of guidance for thousands of NEET aspirants.

A Teaching Philosophy Straight from the Heart

For Pooja Ma’am, teaching isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. Her philosophy can be encapsulated in one simple principle: Give me your 100%, and you’ll have my 1000%. 

Her lectures are known for their razor-sharp focus on concepts and content, a combination she believes is the key to mastering NEET’s tough MCQs.

“Concepts are like swimming or cycling—once you master them, they become a part of your system,” she says with conviction. Her unique “PPF strategy” is a game-changer for students:

P = Past: Revise weak topics from before.

P = Present: Work on the day’s lessons with complete focus.

F = Future: Prepare for upcoming tests and topics.

Pooja Ma’am has a knack for blending strict discipline with a deep understanding of her students’ needs. She sets the tone with her golden rule: “Reaching on time for my lecture is the first lesson in becoming a doctor—because saving lives requires punctuality.”

Specializations & Achievements

Over the years, Pooja Ma’am has developed a special expertise in Genetics, a topic that many students initially find daunting. Her ability to create challenging yet syllabus-aligned MCQs has made her a favorite among NEET aspirants who crave a deeper understanding of the subject.

The Impact She Creates

Students who attend her lectures never want to miss a class. They don’t just respect her—they genuinely love her. Even her reputation as “the strictest teacher” is one they admire. “She makes sure we stay on track,” says one of her students, “and her lessons stick with us long after class is over.”

Whether it’s ensuring students maintain proper diets and sleep schedules or reminding them to avoid unproductive behaviors like yawning in class, Pooja Ma’am goes above and beyond to prepare her students holistically.

Mantras for NEET Success

NEET is like KBC—it’s KBD: Kaun Banega Doctor.

REVISION is a must! Revise within 24 hours, or the lesson vanishes.

Avoid the twin pitfalls of RTS (Rattu Totta Syndrome) and ETS (Extra Thinking Syndrome). Logical thinking is your best tool.

Stay within the syllabus—overdose and underdose are equally harmful.

Beyond the Classroom

When she’s not teaching, Pooja Ma’am finds joy in painting, reading, driving, and watching movies. These creative pursuits add to her well-rounded personality, making her relatable and inspiring to her students.

Words from Pooja Ma’am

“I am an attention-seeker teacher—I need 100% focus from my students while I’m teaching. NEET requires discipline, logic, and equal attention to all three subjects. If you put in the effort, success is inevitable.”

Pooja Varma’s unwavering commitment to her students and her passion for teaching make her an integral part of Kalrashukla Classes. She’s not just preparing students for an exam; she’s shaping the next generation of doctors with lessons they’ll carry for life.

‘To be the best, learn from the best’ was our motto… And indeed Pooja Ma’am is best in the business as far as biology is considered… Apart from the subject her problem solving skills that she has inculcated in her students is indeed useful even in the long run… That method of elimination still gets me my answer correct in PG… To summarize simply lays the foundation for competitive exams

Jis Student par Pooja Ma’am ne haath rakh diya hai uska Doctor banna to sure hi hai..

Being a maths lover from childhood, biology and especially botany became my favourite subject only because of pooja mam
Pooja mam didn’t only had a command on the subject but also had a command on how to teach any thing ( you should start your classes on teaching other teachers mam!)
From coming on time running to your lecture, not yawning in your class and doing the revision and mcqs ( albeit out of fear ) literally defined my neet preparation
The things which you taught about biology, mcq solving skills and life lessons are still valuable to me
Thank you mam for making my years in kalrashukla wonderful and wishing that you will create similar impacts in other students life the way you did in my life
And no doubt you will always be my favorite teacher
