With the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) and other engineering colleges only 45 days away, officials at the Ministry of Education (MoE) on November 21 said they would write to all States to encourage aspirants to utilise the newly launched portal for exam preparation — SATHEE (Self Assessment Test and Help for Entrance Exams). The online coaching platform has been launched by the MoE and IIT-Kanpur.
Whereas private coaching centres and portals seek payment, SATHEE is an open learning platform available to students at no cost. “A barrier for students who could not pay to access any such training programme has been bridged now,” Prof. S. Ganesh, Director, IIT-Kanpur said.
SATHEE has launched a 45-day crash course for aspirants to test their level of preparation. “SATHEE hosts live and recorded lectures, expertly designed curriculum, and doubt-clearing sessions [for students] to brush up their knowledge,” Prof. Ganesh said.
