According to a top official of Physics Wallah, the edtech platform is planning to invest $10 million (approximately Rs 82 crore) in its school-integrated programme, Vidyapeeth School. The investment will be made in phases and the programme is currently available in 39 schools.
“Vidyapeeth School Centre is a school-integrated programme, which is designed to integrate the concepts and skills required for CBSE exams, along with JEE, and NEET preparation into regular classroom instruction, thereby minimising the need for separate coaching classes for the students,” PhysicsWallah Vice President Imran Rashid said.
The school-integrated programme Vidyapeeth School is currently available in 39 schools across 10 Indian states, namely Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Assam, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Haryana. This information was shared by a top official of Physics Wallah.
“We are planning to invest $10 million in phases, of which $5 million will be spent in setting up infrastructure in the schools and the rest $5 million will be utilised for creating top quality content, pedagogy development and academic upgradation. We are investing Rs 8-10 lakh on setting up the infrastructure in each school,” Rashid said.
According to the same official of Physics Wallah, the edtech platform aims to expand its school-integrated programme, Vidyapeeth School, to 300 schools by the year 2025-26. The programme, which was launched on April 17, is designed for grade 11 students who are preparing for CBSE and JEE/NEET exams. It primarily focuses on four subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Maths, and Biology. Additionally, the programme will also be introduced in school sessions in Tier III-IV cities.
“We aim to expand our reach to tier III-IV cities and towns across the country, thus boosting access to quality education in remote areas. We are charging less than Rs 2,000 a month per student for providing services, including live classes, real-time doubt-solving applications, modules and tests, among others,” he said.
