    Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 4: COVID-19 pandemic has affected every sector of our society. The prolonged lockdown has broken the traditional education system in India. It has hit a large number of students across the country and left them with no choice but to shift into online platforms.

    During the lockdown, when every institute shut its doors, the demand for online education platforms has witnessed a major hike, and meanwhile, Melvano has ensured a hassle-free affordable learning transition for the JEE and NEET aspirants.

    “Post Covid, students are dependent on online learning and they have no other choice. Students & Parents now are adopting the benefit of online learning over traditional coaching that lacks personalization. We aim to guide, push and motivate students to continue their preparation for exams,” said Taran.

    Melvano has been designed to offer students all the necessary elements that are missing in the regular classroom. This India-based Edtech platform has developed its application with the help of artificial intelligence that creates personalized coursework for the users and helps them to reduce spending time on preparation by 52 percent. The AI also works to identify learner’s strengths and weaknesses based on their performances.

    Melvano believes that every student has their own learning style. Hence, it has launched preparatory tools like Foundation courses, Crash courses, Test series, and Personal mentoring. Students can improve their problem-solving skills with the help of Foundation courses & Crash courses. The foremost feature of Melvano is each user gets their personal mentor who guides them throughout the course, monitors their performances, & rigorously trains them to crack the exam with a good score.

    Taran adds, “Our crash courses are proven to improve students’ test scores by 41% on average. With just word of mouth, we have doubled our user base in the last six months. Also, Students need to have a will to study; they have access to unlimited practice questions, model test papers, and guidance from Ex IIT alumnus.”

    Over 10 Melvano students, scored 99 percentile & above in JEE Mains 2021. Deepak Nanda, the student who became the topper has scored 99.891 percentile while other students Subhransu Nayak, Pulkit Gupta, Ankit Sankhyan, and Abhignan Chandra scored above 99 percentile.

    Taran Singh, the Founder & CEO of Melvano, and an IIT Madras alumnus, has announced a 100 percent waiver program to help more students in this time of the pandemic, for JEE and NEET aspirants who belong to low-income families and also for those students who have lost an earning member of the family to Covid-19. Students can easily avail this opportunity by filling up a simple form on the Melvano app and they’ll be notified about their eligibility by the team. Melvano also has planned to start a fundraiser on Milaap for their campaign to support the needy students.

  • This EdTech startup wants to bridge the gap between classroom learning & industry – “Your Learning Platform” (YLP)

    Hardik Dave and Rashi Joshi, founders of “Your Learning Platform” (YLP), talk about how students can learn Practical and Essential Skill Courses besides preparing for academic/degree courses and Entrance exams Coaching while learning online by YLP.

     New Delhi [India], April 28 : EdTech, which was clocking a healthy double-digit, year-on-year development before Covid-19, suddenly got a gigantic lift with the inflow of investments, procurement, up-gradation in offerings, and more players quickly shifting and adding studies because of one of the lowest Internet data charges. To rapidly address the need of this hour, startups like YLP came to enlightened students.

    Started in 2020, YLP provides Practical and essential Skill Courses as well as coaching for Degree Courses and Entrance Exams Coaching. The Practical Skill courses include courses for Accounting and Tax Professionals, Finance Professionals, Graphic Designing, Video Editing, Digital Marketing, Animation, Web Development, Coding, and other such job-oriented courses. Whereas Essential Skill courses include courses on Computer Training, Spoken English, Corporate and Inter-Personal Skills and such other skill courses that are relevant for all students irrespective of which industry they wish to join.

    The unique advantage of the courses provided by YLP is that all these courses all taught by Faculties with relevant industry experience are self-paced interactive courses and available for a very affordable price. The e-learning platform provides a course-specific chat forum where all the students enrolled for any course can interact, ask queries to Faculty or other students, and resolve doubts. YLP also organizes live lectures for doubt solving.

    “We always wanted to offer our courses at a very affordable price so that all students irrespective of their financial background can ensure their skill development.” Say Hardik and Rashi, when asked about why they decided to offer such premium courses at very nominal costs.

    The COVID-19 pandemic accelerates the growth of India’s EdTech area and the National Education Policy is required to give it a further fillip.

    The EdTech players are offering an entire host of Apps for all age-gatherings of students. The more students and teachers adapt to the ‘new normal’ (online classes), the better it is for those dealing with the EdTech organizations.

    “We are building a platform that can comprehensively groom a student for the practical world and help them get good placements. We are also tying up with good companies who are willing to hire our trained students. Such well-groomed students would help the corporates to reduce their corporate training budget which they otherwise need to burn to bridge the skill deficit of the students graduating out from colleges but not able to match the skill requirements of such Corporates.” says Hardik and Rashi.

    Besides such Practical and Essential Skill Courses, YLP would also be offering courses for entrance/ competitive exams such as CAT, CET, GMAT, GRE, TOEFL, IELTS, CA/ CS Foundation, public service exams at both National and state levels.

    Students who are preparing for entrance exams regularly need to shuffle internships and studies parallels. It is a rare occurrence of classroom timing with their plan for getting work done. On-demand training turns the table in support of students empowering them to get to courses and study material anytime. Study materials, textbooks, and hardcopies have gotten old-fashioned. The new age of students is ‘visual’ courses more than they are finding out about it. Video courses are rich with lectures, video – audio illustrations, and intelligent components that make getting the hang of fascinating and charming. The visual method of learning also reinforces the comprehension of ideas.

    Talking about the entrepreneurial journey, they both have excelled in their educational and career field. Being an Entrepreneur, Rashi Joshi has won the Young Indian achievers award’ 2020-2021. Hardik Dave by profession is CA, CS, B. Com, Startup Consultant, Worked with E&Y and Baker Tilly International. He is also having a Teaching experience of 5+years.

    Although 63% expected established, certified universities to offer full degrees online by 2030, just 24 percent believed that the online versions would be better known than traditional regular university-based degrees.

    Faculties, training institutes have incredible education experience, and this is the thing that will unleash the force of EdTech. Our main goal is to empower a great many remarkable faculties in India to take their classes online by utilizing YLP as their tech backbone.
