About us
Taught by IITians. Mentored by people who care.
Vidya was started in 2011 by three IIT graduates who'd been through Kota themselves and remembered how lonely it could be (sample story).
We keep batches to 60 students, give every student a mentor, and treat sleep, food and stress as seriously as physics. Results follow when students are well.
What we believe
Small batches
60 per batch, so teachers know every student.
Mentors, not monitors
A weekly one-to-one about studies and well-being.
Concepts first
Understand it, then practise it, then test it.
Honest counselling
We'll tell you if a different path suits you better.

From students and parents
The mentor calls every Sunday kept me going in the worst months. I wasn't just a roll number.
Aditya Raj, AIR 412, now at IIT Kharagpur (sample)
Doubt counters till 8 pm meant I never went to bed confused. That's what made the difference.
Sneha Kumari, AIR 1,208, now at IIT Roorkee (sample)
As a parent far away, the weekly report and the mentor's number gave us real peace of mind.
