Byju's is an Indian K12 online education service platform that mainly provides original learning content, video courses, interactive teaching activities, and test preparation courses for JEE, NEET, CAT, IAS, GRE and GMAT for school students (grades 4-12). Byju's also provides customized educational tutoring to students.
About Byju's ·Byju's, based in the southern Indian city of Bengaluru, was founded in 2011 and already has a presence in the Middle East. It is looking to expand into the United States, Britain, South Africa and other African and Commonwealth markets. Byju’s Education Platform offers a variety of learning programs. Through teachers, effective learning methods, data science, and machine learning technology and human support, Byju’s can provide personalized teaching services for each student and adjust teaching strategies based on student feedback and evaluation. Byju's content creation team includes well-known teachers, education experts, IT experts, photo and video engineers, and even a band, because there is music in every video.
Course Description Byju's uses a paid subscription model, with recorded classes, and a "mentor" will answer questions after the class. In the early stages, Byju's provided students with tablets pre-installed with their course content. By 2015, as mobile phone screens became larger, Byju's launched a mobile app, which students had a 15-day free use period, after which they had to pay a certain fee. Byju's primarily provides educational content to students from grades 4 to 12 (primary to high school). Byju's also trains students in India for competitive exams such as IIT-JEE, NEET, CAT, IAS, and international exams such as GRE and GMAT. Byju's courses are very flexible and customizable. For example, each class in its APP is controlled within 15-20 minutes, and the difficulty of the course is adjusted according to the student's learning ability and current level. The course schedule is determined according to the student's learning habits, with video teaching for those who like visual learning and teacher teaching for those who like guidance. This is difficult to obtain in the traditional Indian education system. · Byju's focuses primarily on mathematics and science, where concepts are explained visually in context using modern digital animations and moving illustrations.
