Director & Founder
Siddharth Shankar Shukla
An engineer at heart and an educator by calling, Mr. Siddharth Shanker Shukla brings over fourteen years of GATE, PSU and NET (Computer Science & IT) coaching experience to every i-Gate classroom. A former faculty member at B.I.T. Durg, he is widely regarded as Chhattisgarh's most trusted GATE CS mentor — the teacher students name first when they recall the moment their preparation finally clicked into place. He founded i-Gate Bhilai with a singular mission: to help every Computer Science aspirant in Central India walk from a small-town classroom into the IITs, IIITs, NITs and India's leading research agencies — including ISRO, BARC and DRDO. Resourceful, deeply committed and unmistakably goal-driven, he treats each student's growth — academic, social and professional — as a personal responsibility, building classrooms that are stimulating, encouraging and rigorous in equal measure. A decade of AIR-2 to AIR-988 toppers stands as quiet proof that focused mentorship, done right, changes lives.
Where our students have placed
i-Gate alumni serve across India’s most respected research agencies and public-sector undertakings — institutions where a strong GATE Computer Science score is the decisive entry route. From scientists at ISRO, BARC and DRDO to engineers across BHEL, NTPC, IOCL, ECIL and BSNL, our students have walked from the i-Gate classroom in Bhilai into careers that quietly shape the country’s space, defence, energy and communications backbone.
