Classrooms & LearningWhat is eVidyaKosh and what educational categories does it cover?
eVidyaKosh is India's comprehensive digital education ecosystem designed to bridge the educational divide across schools, colleges, and competitive exams. Our platform supports:
- School Academics (Classes 1st to 12th): CBSE, Bihar Board (BSEB), UP Board, ICSE, and State Boards in English and Hindi mediums.
- Higher Education (UG & PG): Undergraduate (B.A., B.Sc., B.Com, B.Tech) and Postgraduate semester-wise courses for Central & State Universities.
- Competitive Exams & Skills: JEE, NEET, SSC, UPSC, State Commission recruitment exams, and Skill Courses.
- Core Offerings: Interactive Digital Classrooms, 1-on-1 Online Tutoring, Home Tutor Booking, Coaching Center Directory, Smart Notes AI Assistant, and Free NCERT Study Material.
What is the difference between Prepaid and Postpaid Classroom Enrollments?
eVidyaKosh offers two flexible enrollment models tailored to student and teacher convenience:
- Prepaid Classroom: You pay the monthly or yearly fee upfront directly via UPI, Cards, or NetBanking. You receive instant, immediate access to all live class links, uploaded PDF notes, YouTube video playlists, assignments, and test leaderboards.
- Postpaid Classroom: You submit an enrollment request with ₹0 upfront cost. Once your educator reviews and approves your request, you attend classes throughout the month and pay your tuition fee at the end of the 30-day billing cycle.
What are Classroom Groups (Multi-Subject Batches)?
A Classroom Group is a bundled batch created by an educator or coaching institute that combines multiple subject classrooms under a single discounted package.
For example, a teacher can bundle "BSEB Class 10th All Subjects (Math, Science, Social Science, Hindi & Sanskrit)" together. Instead of enrolling and paying for each subject separately, you can subscribe to the entire group at once in either Prepaid or Postpaid mode!
