Blended coaching to facilitate education to students in small towns
Deepak Goyal, Tejpreet Singh, and Sivia Goyal founded YSchool in 2020 and believe blended learning can have a greater role than edtech in providing education.
While edtech has found prominence in India due to the pandemic, the importance of brick and mortar centres haven’t completely diminished, and mark an important step when it comes to scaling the education business. That’s what the founders of YSchool found out in 2020 after running their education startup Edusquare, which offers learning via brick and mortar training centres, for six years. Deepak Goyal, Tejpreet Singh, and Sivia Goyal set up YSchool as an alternative model of learning which combines edtech with physical coaching centres.
The startup enables students in high school to prepare for entrance examinations like IIT-JEE and NEET by using their phone, as well as makes provisions for them to attend in-person classes as and when required.
According to the Department of Higher Education and the National Testing Agency, more than one million people are vying for engineering and medical seats in top colleges after writing the IIT-JEE and NEET exams.
Deepak said “Our company is making expertise accessible and affordable to all. The existing offline solutions are focused mainly on results from a few top students,with those who don’t make the cut are left to fend for themselves”.
“Also, many deserving meritorious students cannot travel or relocate to far-off locations with major players and where they can avail expert faculties. So, they miss the bus for IIT-JEE or NEET selection owing to limited or no resources at their disposal,” as said by Deepak.
