Goiit Gives IIT JEE Tutorials Online

Students preparing for IIT and other engineering entrance exams now have help from the online medium.

Noida-based Vriti Education has launched Goiit.com, an online education portal to serve as a platform for students preparing for their Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) as well as other competitive entrance exams like AIEEE, BITSAT, WBJEE, etc.
What is interesting about the venture is that it comes for free, sans subscription fees, and is intended as a huge advantage for the student community.

Developed by alumni of IIT Mumbai and IIT Delhi, Goiit.com will provide engineering aspirants with expert advice and guidance through an expert panel comprising IIT students, graduates, and engineering coaching professionals.

The portal intends to bring together students, teachers, and the IIT community in general so that they can collectively put some of the best brains in the business to constructive use.

Swapnil Shrivastav, chief executive officer of Goiit.com, said Goiit comes as a great advantage for students who've been craving for personalized help but cannot afford it due to cost or demographics.

Shrivastav voiced the view that from Gurukul to online mode, education has come a long way to become an ever-changing sector -- now breaching geographical boundaries to reach out to people across the globe.

Pankaj Vermani, vice president of Goiit.com, said Goiit is possibly the only Web site (and supposedly a 'cool' one) that gives a unique platform for engineering aspirants to prepare for JEE, and use the online community, forum, online tutorials, study materials, and all of that for free.

As of now, Goiit has a 50-strong team, made up of IIT alumni, engineering graduates, and engineering coaching professionals.
