Vedantu has launched its first hybrid centre - Vedantu Learning Center- at Muzaffarpur, in Bihar, as part of its vision to provide accessible and affordable quality education to students across the country.
The development comes at a time, when two other edtech unicorns, PhysicsWallah and Unacademy, have opened physical centers for their test-prep learners. The courses at Vedantu Learning Center will cover preparation for IIT JEE and NEET, a two-year course for students of Grade 11th, and a one-year course for dropper batch.
Interactive classrooms
Under the initiative, Vedantu will get access tointeractive classrooms, immersive 3-D content, doubts support in class and interactive quizzes at an affordable price point. While the Master Teachers will be teaching remotely, the classes will be supervised by a class teacher present physically to coordinate and monitor students’ progress.
Students will be divided into a batch of 25 per class and every student will be provided personal Wi-Fi and 4G enabled tablet, to interact in class and study at home. Students will also have access to more than 1,500 Tatva Smart books to offer round-the-clock support. Vedantu believes that academic progress is every child’s right and with Vedantu Improvement Promise if there is no improvement in marks, 100 per cent fee will be refunded.
Speaking about the launch, Vamsi Krishna, CEO & Co-Founder, Vedantu, said “Making quality teaching accessible to students has always been our vision.
