For an easy comparison, we offer test preparation courses including quant, reasoning, English, and GS at just Rs. 999 each, the original cost of which is around Rs. 10-15,000. Also, where the private tutoring charges are around Rs. 2000 for a month per subject, we offer all subjects for the whole year at just Rs. 2500 for grades 9th and 10th. The quality of courses is best as all our educators have decades of teaching experience in the hub of education i.e., Mukherjee Nagar.What are the differential factors about your company's E-learning courses that sepa-rate you from your competitors?Careerwill has always kept the needs of the students as its priority.

For example, in a usu-al 100 hours, of course, the students get 120+ hours. Careewill gives class notes to students prepared by the faculties so that all hindrances between teaching and learning are solved. As stated, most of our students are from the rural sector for whom even 500 bucks are so valuable, Careerwill tries to create value for each penny of their hard-earned money.How have you expanded your understand-ing of E-Learning principles and technolo-gies and what factors do you consider when assessing the effectiveness and efficiency?Our pedagogy is matched with and aligned to the appropriate curriculum through clear objectives and relevance.

Also, every week, we give free webinars so that the student gets knowledge from Indian and International experts.Since its inception, how has the company nurtured itself? Illustrate the growth of the company in terms of revenue, clients, and geographical presence? Careerwill started from an idea to educate students sitting away in far remote areas who have very lim-ited access to resources. During our initial years, it was extremely difficult for me and Rakesh to onboard experienced faculties and make them ready to offer courses at 1/10th of their original prices.Gaining their trust and making them believe in our passion was a very hefty task. Fortunately, we gained their trust by creating an impact in the lives of students from the far remote areas and at the same time being profitable within the first year of launch-ing the app in 2018. We started with two employees and expanded into a team of 200+ people in just three years. E-LEARNINGSTARTUPS - 2021TOP10
