Ideas & updates
Security, piracy and engineering deep dives, plus practical ideas for growing your institute. From the team building Upclass.
CLAT 2027 is 120 passage-based questions, sat on paper. A mock platform needs the passage kept in view, one clock for the paper, passage-level flags and reports that count time per passage.
Beyond the plan price, coaching apps carry usage costs: streaming, storage, SMS and WhatsApp, live minutes and store commissions, plus set-up and GST. Compare quotes on one usage profile.
Fix the sound first: a soft room, the ceiling fan off and the right microphone. Then make the writing readable on a phone, and only then worry about the camera.
Your institute should own its student data, with the vendor processing it only on your instructions, but only the contract and a working export make that true. Here's what to check.
A scholarship test fills batches when it is a good test first and a discount second. Invite students who are already choosing, publish the slabs in advance and put your effort into the counselling call.
An app in your own name builds a store listing, reviews and student relationship you keep. A platform's app is quicker to start, but moving later means every student installs a new app.
GATE marks three question types three ways: a wrong MCQ loses a third of its marks, an MSQ scores only for the exact set of options, and a NAT answer must fall inside the key's range, or one of several.
Two devices per student, one playing at a time, with a few controlled device changes, suits most coaching courses. Here's how to tune it by course type without locking out honest students.
For most maths and science teachers on a laptop, a medium pen tablet without a screen is the best first buy, if you give it two weeks of practice. Paper under a camera needs none.
Before signing with an LMS company, get written answers on product, apps, security, data, money, contract, support and migration. Here are 25 questions and what good answers sound like.
Yes, if most of your students are under 18: parents want attendance, test results, fee dues and notices. For UPSC and other adult learners, skip it, because a parent login to an adult's scores is a privacy problem.
Courses leak through students' recordings and shared logins, films through cinemas, vendors and OTT streams, and sport as live restreams. Here is how each works and what the law says.
