Edtech firm Physics Wallah will provide free foundational to advanced-level coaching for JEE and NEET to students of Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas and Simultala Awasiya Vidyalayas in Bihar. The initiative is part of a broader effort by the Bihar education department, which on Tuesday signed five Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with academic and philanthropic institutions to strengthen educational quality across the state. The support includes interactive digital classes, practice tests, AI-based doubt-solving tools, free access to the firm's app, and regular academic progress monitoring for students of classes 9 to 12. Four other organisations have also partnered with the state to cover initiatives ranging from competitive exam preparation and English language learning to life skills training, entrepreneurship development, and job-oriented skilling for college students. Bharat Innovation Global will support class 8 students across Bihar in preparing for the National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship (NMMS) examination. The two-year programme will be delivered through live and recorded classes, supplemented with digital content and practice tests in 'Hinglish', officials said, adding that emphasis will be placed on students from rural and underprivileged backgrounds. Freedom Edu will implement a 'Holistic English Language Learning Programme' across government schools with a focus on building reading fluency, comprehension, verbal communication, and confidence among students. To promote life skills and entrepreneurship, the Going to School Fund will introduce a weekly two-day curriculum for students in classes 7 to 12. The first day will focus on story-based activities, while the second will involve digital project work. For students in higher education, the SGBS Unnati Foundation will offer a job-oriented skill development programme under its UNXT initiative. Final-year undergraduate and postgraduate students in all government and aided colleges will be eligible for a 30-day classroom-based training, consisting of three hours of instruction per day. Students will also be given free access to an e-learning platform featuring more than 600 videos and quizzes. 'The programme aims to connect at least 70 per cent of participants with employment, self-employment, or further education opportunities,' officials said. Education Minister Sunil Kumar, who attended the event, highlighted the government's financial commitment: 'Over 20% of the state's budget is allocated to education. These partnerships will not only bring in innovation and technology but also open new doors of opportunity for students.' He said regular monitoring and outcome-based evaluation would be ensured so that the results of each MoU are visible at the ground level. Dr S Siddharth, the additional chief secretary in the education department, said, 'Bihar has the largest number of students in the country. Providing them with quality resources and competitive guidance is a priority. These partnerships will be a milestone in that direction.'

Inside Edge Launches in India, Bringing Students Closer to Real-World Mentors
Inside Edge, a new-age peer mentorship platform, has been launched in India to help students make informed academic and career choices. The platform connects learners directly with verified alumni and professionals who have already navigated the paths students aspire to take, from cracking competitive exams like JEE to studying abroad, switching careers, or securing admission to leading colleges. Built on the belief that 'You don't have to figure it all out alone', Inside Edge offers guidance drawn from lived experiences rather than generic advice. The aim is to transform a student's journey from confusion to clarity, and from uncertainty to confidence. 'Inside Edge is more than an education platform. In the age of AI & information overload, It is a movement towards peer-driven, real-world mentoring. We want students to see the road ahead through authentic stories from those who have been there,' said a spokesperson for Inside Edge. India's education landscape is changing at a rapid pace. The rise of online degrees, AI-based courses, short-term certifications, and new-age curriculum options, along with growing opportunities abroad and mid-career switches, has created more choices and more confusion. Many students are left to navigate these decisions without credible support. Inside Edge addresses this gap by offering: • Verified, peer-reviewed mentors with proven expertise. • One-on-one conversations through chat & Calls. • A community where students can get firsthand feedback. The platform plans to expand its mentor network across Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 cities to ensure students from all backgrounds can access credible advice. Collaborations with schools, colleges, and career platforms are also in the pipeline. As India's youth face a fast-changing global and competitive environment, Inside Edge aims to be the trusted ally that helps them make confident, well-informed choices about their future.
