NeoStencil.com & Cutting Edge Technology Brings Best & Affordable Online Classrooms

Ed-tech platform NeoStencil organised an IAS toppers seminar in Bangalore recently. The seminar hosted their IAS students such as Suman Sourav Mohanty (All India Rank 9, 2016), Rishi Raj (AIR 27, 2017) & Akshat Kaushal (AIR 55, 2017) as well as a partner teacher Praveen Kishore, Director of Nice IAS. The seminar was attended by over 350 serious UPSC aspirants & parents. Attendees asked preparation related questions of all the speakers.
Exam preparation in India has always been concentrated to a few cities. Top teachers in these cities have always been a valued commodity, with aspirants relocating to Kota for IIT/PMT, Delhi for IAS/IES and the like, as a norm.
Many have tried to address this in different ways. Quite a few have set up VSAT centres, franchise in other cities. Some existing institutes have gone online with their own content. A few have created open online marketplaces while targeting to enable more than 10,000 teachers to come and teach.
Despite these being around, more than 90% serious aspirants still continue to relocate to the same cities, to study from the same teachers.
NeoStencil.com, an Ed-tech venture set up by IIT, AIIMS & IIIM alumni, realized this pattern. And realized the core of the problem was never lack of quality teachers. The core was always accessibility to these quality teachers.

NeoStencil decided to approach the problem differently. The company decided to enable existing top teachers of the country to conduct their classes online through its Live-Learning platform.
To ensure that students saw value in this, and did not need to relocate any longer, NeoStencil conducts these classes Live. A student sitting in a remote corner of the country can attend a class by Hyderabad’s top teacher as and when the teacher is teaching in his classroom. So, the syllabus is up-to-date & current. Moreover, with live classes, student’s studying is in-sync with offline world and it is easier to manage the learning pace. If a student misses LIVE classes, he also gets the flexibility to attend the class later, 24×7 and any number of times. Study material, regular tests, toppers seminar are other features of this comprehensive one-stop platform of NeoStencil.

This allows students around the country to get access to teachers of their choice, without needing to relocate any longer. Students can now continue with their jobs, continue living with their families. They do not need to spend lakhs on rent and living expenses. We take pride in the fact that we have been able to create a level playing field among aspirants as more than 50% of our students are from Tier III & IV towns and beyond with parental income less than INR 2.5 Lakhs, who otherwise couldn’t have afforded to relocate to Delhi and aspire for their IAS officer dream.
Also, women in our country need to take into account additional factors, such as safety, before deciding to relocate. With a platform like NeoStencil getting established, women do not need to compromise on safety at all, and can access best education simply through their laptops.
Today NeoStencil has become one of the preferred online platforms for Civil Services exams aspirants as it grants access to top teachers and their classroom programmes across India, through its Live-Learning platform. NeoStencil has tied-up only with top teachers of their field. Teachers who have vast experience, and have delivered stellar results throughout are on-boarded through well defined criteria. The Company has partnered with the most recognized & trusted teachers & and coaching institutes such as Prof Majid Husain, Pavan Kumar IAS, Lukmaan IAS, Mitrapal, Alok Ranjan, Rajnish Raj, Praveen Kishore, Venkat Mohan among 40+ Institutes from across India.
A graduate of IITB & IIMC, Kush Beejal, the Co-Founder of NeoStencil said, “The cost incurred towards Exam preparation is not only the course fees, but also the dilemma of leaving jobs, and the relocation expenses candidates have to bear to move to coaching capitals. With technology evolution, internet penetration & affordable IT hardware at NeoStencil we have bridged the geographical challenges for student & teachers to facilitate comprehensive preparation of competitive exams and within affordable range. We aim to delink aspiration & affordability”.
“Many students have started using online platforms, such as NeoStencil, to connect with teachers and select their classroom of their choice. We are super excited & happy that almost 1 in every 2 successful candidates is a student of our partner institute. 102 of our online students made it to the 2017 final UPSC list including AIR-5, AIR-9 and so on. This is a testimonial to the acceptance of our platform amongst serious aspirants and the quality of education we enable through our platform,” shares, Beejal.

First-ever high-school participants to represent India in both the events as part of their educational trip

The students of Trio World Academy had a memorable educational trip to France recently where they had an opportunity to attend the UNESCO Mobile Learning Week at the UNESCO Headquarters and also attended the University of Peace in Paris. The Trio World Academy Students were the youngest and the first-ever high-school participants from India to have attended both this prestigious event this year.

Mobile Learning Week is UNESCO’s flagship ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in education event. The 2018 edition, under the theme “Skills for a connected world”, examined the types of skills needed in and for a connected economy and society, with a focus on digital skills and competencies. Participants exchanged knowledge about the ways governments and other stakeholders can define and achieve the skills-related targets specified by UNESCO. Students attended several interactive workshops on “Designing digital standards for education in crises (along with Google.org and Learning Equality).

The students also had the opportunity to visit The University of Peace conference that was organized by Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris or the International University Campus in Paris. The main theme of the University of Peace 2018 was “Democracy and the Digital age” where students learnt about the scope and extent of democracy amidst current IT Revolution and the age of technology.

The students of Trio group spoke to the University of Peace Coordinator, Mr. Boris Wiseman discussing one on one the future of peace in the digital world. Cambridge Advanced Level student of Grade 12, Arjun Hegde asked if ever-lasting peace is a possibility or a myth and if technology would offer a solution or not to which Mr. Wiseman was of the opinion that “the right technology is certainly the answer and the University of Peace is an attempt at finding how technology can be made right”. IBDP Year 1 student Ashwin Iyer asked Mr. Wiseman “In this current political state where many countries are in an artificial state of peace due to the overarching threat of nuclear war, what is a better solution to this problem in your opinion?” Mr. Wiseman responded saying it’s too complex an issue to summarize in one line. But yes peace needs to be protected and nurtured artificially if need be.” Answering IBDP Year 1 student Amrutamshu Iyengar’s question on the inception of the University of Peace, Mr. Wiseman explained that “the University of Peace of the CIUP that started in 2015 is an annual event that brings together young researchers who gather to speak about peace and the preservation of peace in our world today. This is to carry forward the peace ideal with which the International University Campus was started between World War 1 and 2.” Kevin Andre Soares, another student of IBDP Year 1 inquired on how the University’s perspective of peace has changed over the years while Tushara Urala of IBDP Year 1 wondered about the future plans of expansion of the University of Peace to which Mr. Wiseman replied saying that, “If you would organize a University of Peace in Bangalore, I would love to visit and speak to other youngsters like you on the future of peace!”

Expressing his views on the educational trip, Mr. Naveen K M, Managing Director, TRIO World Academy said,” The school aims to give pupils the skills permitting them to face the complex problems of the world today, instilling in them a sense of responsibility through impart of moral values and widening their knowledge horizons about other religions and cultures. A global event of this stature is the perfect place for Trio to encourage its students and get them thinking about the impact of learning on a worldwide scale, which Trio always believes in.”
