Shobhit Bhatnagar mostly writes about edtech beyond the metros – in the Tier II and III cities, for competitive exams. While students in the metros have access to leading coaching institutions to prepare for competitive exams like JEE, NEET, GATE, SSC, and banking, students residing in the non-metros have to face challenges like lack of competitive study materials and tutorials.
With almost 25 lakh students appearing for JEE and NEET entrance exams, only up to 25 percent of them can afford the cost of offline coaching classes. Moreover, relocating to a metro to avail these classes is not just challenging but also another expensive affair.
Shobhit explains there is a growing demand for online sources that is prevalent in smaller cities, the trend of ‘live’ classes, and the cost aspect of online coaching.
