Company Profile

We are convinced that there is a huge need for a well-organized web platform that caters to the needs of the engineering entrance community. Our content is delivered by top 100 IITJEE rankers which automatically puts us in a separate league as compared to our competitors.

Aspirants will have a wide range of JEE topics to choose from. Our products range from single subject wise topics to comprehensive/full packages. We are also coming up with comprehensive study plan packages of 2 year/1 year durations which will be tailored to each aspirant's individual needs.

Why we think e-learning (JEE sector in our case) is the sector to be into-

Internet penetration in India is about 8%, way below the global average of 24%

E-learning has the potential to provide customized solutions to learners.

E-learning has the capacity to reach even the remotest parts of the country.

Owing to the changed JEE pattern the importance of schools/boards have increased leaving little room/time for classroom coaching and thereby creating a need for customized/in-house and 24- 7 access to study material.
