“The learning solution is envisaged both as an effective teaching-aid and self-learning tool, enhancing better understanding of Engineering Mathematics fundamentals and concepts with visual step-by-step problem solving and real-life applications examples.
These contents are developed with the following objectives:
1. To be used as an effective teaching aid in the class room
2. To be used as self – learning material for the students
Problems being solved:
– High failure rates in Engineering Mathematics papers
– Students are unable to understand the Engineering Mathematics concepts
– Pressure on university and colleges to provide online, asynchronous resources that are engaging, effectual, and cost-effective
– Students having backlog in engineering, mathematics paper and find it hard to clear them in the subsequent exams
– Very high failure rate for lateral entry students in M3 Paper
The platform is committed to making engineering/ mathematics topics accessible, inclusive, and enjoyable for all learners. The startup was astounded to find that according to AICTE data “average math score of first-year engineering students was below 40%”. This propelled the founders to launch this startup.
Journey so far:
– Company incorporation – May 2022
– Platform launch – Oct 2022
