Dear Rodinhooders,
I am researching how coaching classes (e.g. the ones for engineering and MBA entrance exams) are managing so many students and analyzing their performances? I understand they must be using OMR sheets for testing and grading but what do they use for reporting etc.
I and my friend are working on an eTesting platform and need to get some contacts into education/coaching business side who can give us insights about the needs of these institutes. Any leads/insightful advice will be really appreciated 🙂 Currently, we are looking for someone to test out our platform and give initial feedback in return for free trial.
Secondly, as an education startup, what are some events/conferences we can go to? I know there’s a VCCircle education summit in Nov.
P.S. if you are in Indore, lets meet!

Hello Nistha,
I have been working on a similar idea (Way2bank) , just that I was planning to do it for banking exams in India. I may not be able to help you with any contacts as such but we can surely discuss a lot as I have been researching on this for quite some time. Moreover, I am based out of Indore.
Here’s the facebook page of Way2bank for your reference – Way2bank

Hi Nistha,
I can give you the reference of my MBA Entrance class in Nashik, Maharashtra. You may contact the Director Mr. Sagar Nikam and speak to him to discuss your idea: https://www.elceducation.com/contact.php
Just FYI, One of my friend is currently in the execution phase of a very similar idea.
I am presently working at my startup in Indore and would be glad to share more info if required.
All the best !

Hi Nistha,
You may have a look at http://www.flexiguru.com, a nice learning platform. As a publisher you may get valuable feedback and new avenue for revenue….let me know if you need any help :))) Best regards , @mar
Nistha Tripathi
Hey Kunal, lets meet then! Please share your email, thx so much.
Nistha Tripathi
Thanks Amar, we are not publishing any content, so this is probably not for us (as far as I can understand). Is this your venture? I know another students venture for GRE and GMAT who might be interested in sharing the tests here with its students.
Amar Pratap Singh
Nistha, this is not my venture. We are working on an educational tablet which will have preloded contents and I know flexiguru founding team. Best regards, @mar :):)
