For some students, preparing for IIT-JEE can start as early as class 6. There are several coaching centres to help them prepare for one of the toughest entrance exams in the country.

To equip them better, digital learning company Pearson India has launched MyInsights.

Powered by an algorithm that adapts to each learner’s level of knowledge, MyInsights helps to identify blind spots in a student’s learning and offers remedies to strengthen those particular concepts.

According to Vikas Singh, MD of Pearson India,

"It’s a first-of-its-kind adaptive assessment module to aid students in preparing effectively for their IIT-JEE entrance exam. Keeping the learners at the core, MyInsights offers assessments and time-based tests to adjust to the learners' ability level and provide a personalised score and specific learning path for students to master the topic.”

The platform assesses a student by identifying generic and specific gaps, measures a candidate's clarity of conceptual understanding and analyses their performance in a convenient way, he added.
