About Aakash EduTech Private Limited

Quality education is not accessible to everyone in India. Especially, the students preparing for competitive exams like NEET and JEE. They either have to shift to a different city or have to adjust with average coaching centres in their cities.

We are empowering students with live online classes, recorded video lectures and online practice tests for preparation of NEET UG, NEET PG, IIT-JEE and class 8-12 board as well as competitive exams. The perfect blend of highly-qualified teachers, cutting-edge technology and well-researched content provide students a great learning experience to achieve their goals.
