Hey,
“Apavarga” means to be liberated from the mortal plane of existence, and we aim to liberate our students from these shackles, and empower them to make the most of the opportunities available to them, as well as seek new ones.
Our History, Methods & Plans
We first started back in December of 2020 with weekly classes conducted at no cost to any student who was interested. Since we were all relatively new to initiatives like this, we chose to initially restrict our scope to our college alone.
​
-
Our classes deviate from a lecture-like structure and focus on building a comfortable, judgement-free environment, ideal for expressing ideas.
-
These interactive sessions act as an open forum for JAMs, debates and more, building conversational and public speaking skills.
-
Mentoring by fellow college students creates a unique opportunity to relate and fraternize with students in a way that normal teachers cannot.​
​
Since then, we have made continuous improvements to our formula based on student feedback.
​
-
Weekly skill checks to maintain student engagement and help in self-evaluating progress via a dedicated Google Classroom.
-
Fully-fledged course structure, covering absolute basics of English Communication to professional competency, plus recorded prerequisite videos for next batch.
-
Events, competitions and panels to encourage public speaking and enhance the network of our students.
-
Future expansion plans to expand scope in a 3-phase strategy.
-
What is Apavarga Shiksha?At its core, Apavarga Shiksha is a student-first initiative that aims to liberate its students from all barriers to learning, such as lack of prior coding experience and a weak grasp over the English Language, regardless of reason. All our services are designed with absolute beginners in mind and are priced very affordably, with the goal of providing our students with in-demand skills and professional competency in their chosen subject.
-
Why choose Apavarga Shiksha?Apavarga Shiksha has a unique mentorship style where students are taught and guided by qualified seniors and/or batchmates from their very own college. We have an unparalleled focus on community building, cooperative learning, networking and creating a judgement-free learning environment. Our business model is highly beneficial to all concerned parties and is scalable nationwide. Both students and mentors are incentivized to perform well with project and internship opportunities within the company. Our fees are some of the most affordable anywhere, both online and offline.
-
How much does we charge?The first batch of students were taught absolutely free of cost. The upcoming batches will be charged a meagre Rs. 300/month for Programming in C or Python, Rs. 250/month for English and Rs. 500/month if they enrol in both courses.
-
How will live classes be conducted?At least 2 live classes including a doubt-clearing session will be conducted every week. Student interaction and progress checking will be done through skill checks and projects administered via Google Classroom. Competitive spirit and networking will be promoted with events and contests every month. WhatsApp groups will allow students to constantly be in touch with mentors, learn from and motivate each-other.
-
Who can register and how?Currently we are only accepting students from within our college, i.e., Institute of Engineering & Management (IEM), Kolkata. However, we have a 3-phase plan to expand to all colleges in Kolkata, then West Bengal, and eventually, other states.
-
What are our future plans?We plans to eventually expand to the whole country in a staggered, phase-wise fashion. We will start with IEM’s neighbouring colleges, then other colleges in Kolkata, then the whole state and finally, other states. This growth will be supported by our increasing capital, reputation and an extensive online marketing campaign.
