Stating that digital education will never be able to replicate the familiarity and holistic development associated with physical classrooms, Aakash+BYJU’S, the national leader in test preparatory services, on Saturday inaugurated its first classroom centre in Nikol, fifth in Ahmedabad..
To further the motto of expanding its network to various parts of the country to help thousands of students realise their dreams of becoming doctors and IITians, the institute will open six more centres in the state, including two in Ahmedabad, which will take its total tally to 17 from the present 11, a senior official of the company said.

All faculties are appointed by the company’s headquarters in New Delhi after holding stringent screening tests and posted all over the country. To cater to the needs of the Gujarati-medium students, the institute has started hunting for qualified and competent teachers.”
To a query on the impact of COVID-induced lockdown, Rathore said, “In the larger interest of the students, the institute has adopted hybrid mode of teaching online during the last two years. The fee for various courses range between Rs 70,000 and Rs 4.5 lakh. The company has started setting up Byju’s Tuition Centres all over the country as separate entities for students of Std 4 to 10. These students will join Aakash to pursue coaching for NEET, JEE etc.”
