Engineering & Medical Entrance Test Preparation Goes Online

Online education is gaining pace in India because of increasing distances, decreasing time and safety issues. Keeping in sync with the trend, WiZiQ has introduced a number of online courses at http://www.wiziq.com/public/ . One such course is "An Introduction to Direct Taxes in India" by Mr. Arvind Tuli. Arvind is a world-renowned teacher for Direct Taxes in India. He has authored many books, which are even prescribed as part of course curriculums in many universities. He has many years of experience in teaching Direct Tax and Income Tax and has a great success rate. He will be presenting a thorough introduction and conceptual understanding of Direct Taxes in India in a series of five sessions. The sessions will begin on 9th August 2008.

Mr. Arvind Tuli says, "The biggest challenge for us was reaching out to students who cannot attend my classroom. These students would be from other metros or smaller towns. This platform perfectly suits our needs to deliver these courses as the Virtual Classroom has all the tools we require for online course delivery like real time audio video interaction, chat and document sharing features. I have great plans for the future and plan to migrate at least 50% of my coaching online in the next few years."

Similarly, Apt Academic Solutions, a renowned institute for test preparation has started online courses for engineering entrance preparation. The courses will cover a series of Physics, Chemistry and Maths preparatory sessions for IIT, AIEEE, CET and other Engineering entrance examinations. These courses, starting on 4th August 2008, have received a tremendous response as more than a thousand seats have already been confirmed by students.

Renowned Biology professors, Dr. S. Biswas and Dr. Aman Biswas will be providing sessions on Biology starting 9th August. Director at Biswas Bio Institute (P) Ltd., Chandigarh, he's also published various books on Biology like Pradeep's Objective Biology. He will be delivering a series of session to students to prepare for PMT, AIIMS,

AFMC, and other Medical entrance examinations as well as for students interested in studying introductory biology. 

Apart from this starter and guidance courses for IAS and CAT are also available. While IAS course is being conducted by Abhimanu – IAS Study Circle Group, CAT course is being conducted by Bulls Eye, the largest CAT preparation center North of Delhi.

The test preparation teaching business is an estimated $72bn market with about 60 lakh applicants spending Rs.12,000 per year. Online teaching can help more students have access to these renowned teachers.
