Charged with a mission of ‘democratizing”
“I am thrilled that now I can impart my knowledge and help lacks of students from all over India and other parts of the world in realizing their IIT dreams.” said Dr. A. Majeed. “It would be impossible for me to personally reach and teach so many students without TopChalks.com’
“Our technology brings a better than classroom learning experience over the internet (even at low-bandwidths, like with a data card) with great user experience such as the “hot” playback feature allowing the students to play from any point in the lecture or a solution to a problem with just a click of the mouse.” said Zia Siddiqui, Vice President of Market Development at TopChalks.com. “Our goal is to provide the students with maximum flexibility and provide them with the ability to purchase the IIT-JEE Prep content up to the granularity of a single chapter in a single subject. Students can opt to buy one or more chapters, an entire subject, or all three subjects for period of one or more months, for an entire year or for two years. This makes TopChalks IIT-JEE a very compelling, flexible and an affordable solution to lacks of students including those who are attending coaching classes or taking tuitions “ added Zia.
TopChalks.com is witnessing a tremendous amount of interest and excitement among students and their parents. Kiran, an IIT aspirant, said, “I have three words to describe the TopChalks IIT-JEE solution- IT IS AWESOME”. Another student, Gaurav said, “I get to learn whatever topic I want, when I want and however many times I want and best of all I do not have to not pay over a lack of rupees to try and succeed in the IIT-JEE exam. I can now do it with the help of TopChalks.com and its phenomenal instructors”
One is likely to ask “What about those students who do not have a PC or an Internet connection?” To address this hurdle, Topchalks.com is offering to install their IIT-JEE preparation program on the computers within the premises of the schools where students can get access to the same content that is available on the Internet. This solution delivers the entire IIT-JEE preparation content on a Local Area Network (LAN), making it a perfect solution for in-school deployment or for deployment in learning centers.
To broaden its reach further, TopChalks.com will be launching in May, 2009, Learning Centers in Kalu Sarai, New Delhi, Ambala, Haryana and in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. These Learning Centers will be with full-fledged digital hubs offering entire content for IIT-JEE Prep, XI & XII Board Prep, CAT and SAT Prep programs, augmented with qualified faculty to provide coaching and doubt-clearing services for students.
What’s next? “Our goal is to make TopChalks.com and the TopChalks Learning Centers a one-stop study destination for millions of students all over India. We will soon be launching programs for AIEEE, AIPMT and an open Forum for students to create study groups in order for them to post and answer each others doubts and questions. We believe that such collaborative environments will create a high level of retention and engage students to learn more effectively”
