About Kshitij Education India
Founded in 2012, Kshitij Education India as India’s 1st True live online academy for JEE PMT Preparation has received an overwhelming response in the students’ fraternity. “Kshitij has been the sole provider of live online classes in the gulf and Far-East countries for years together,” says Prashant Ranjan, founder of Kshitij Education India. Prashan, himself as an IIT aspirant and cracked IIT JEE in 2008 and also realised that how difficult it is for the students to travel to Kota for the preparation of JEE and that was the time when the idea of E-learning in the form of live online classes was sown in his mind. Prashant identified the underlying factor which drove the crowd to Kota, the IIT trained teachers, who were otherwise not available to the students in remote areas of the country.
In the early years of formation, Prashant also identified a new cohort of JEE and PMT aspirants who were completely deprived of quality training - the OCIs and NRI students. Every year several thousand students take JEE Mains from the locations abroad especially from the Gulf and Far East locations. Kshitij presently the sole provider of live online classes of JEE and PMT to the NRI students have garnered a solid reputation in the space. With the new funding, the online academy will explore more geographic locations, capitalise the knowledge of pulse of the Gulf region and replicate the same on other foreign locations.
