New Delhi: Now, any
students from any corner of the country, aspiring to join the Indian Institutes
of Technology (IITs) will get free online lessons from the prestigious
institutes’ professors.
A portal called IITPAL
(IIT Professor Assisted Learning) will provide free online lessons soon. It
would serve as an interactive platform where lecture videos and questions
papers would be available. The subjects include physics, chemistry, and
mathematics. Apart from this, assignments and queries can be exchanged between
student and professor. Questions and answers from the IITs’ JEE of the past 50
years will also be uploaded.
Former IIT Bombay director, Ashok Mishra,
will lead the development team. There are also talks of developing a mobile app,
with the help of which, students can watch lecture videos on the move.
Coaching classes for Joint Entrance
Examinations (JEE) and other entrance exams have attained as much importance in
a student’s life as it is in school. In recent years, there has been a debate
to get rid of the ‘coaching class culture’ in India, so as to inspire original
thinking and aptitude among aspirants.
Students can send their queries
online to individual professors. Apart from these, students will also be given
assignments.
Studies have revealed that last year almost
50 percent of the accepted entrants to IIT had not gone for coaching classes.
It reassured the belief that coaching classes are not the only way through
which a student who has potential can get admission into IIT.
