About Eklavya

Eklavya is a free AI tutor for JEE, NEET, and NCERT. It teaches with clear explanations and worked examples, builds real understanding with retrieval-first practice, and helps you remember with spaced revision before exams.

Who is behind Eklavya

Dr. Aniruddha Malpani

Eklavya is the brainchild of Dr. Aniruddha Malpani, a physician, angel investor, and education reform advocate who champions democratizing access to knowledge.

His mission is to level the playing field so students from all backgrounds can prepare effectively for competitive exams like JEE and NEET with high-quality study tools at zero cost.

There are no human teachers on the platform. Explanations, hints, and study plans are produced by AI systems that improve continuously as students learn.

Funded by Malpani Ventures.

Why it is free

We are mission-first, so we keep the product free for students. Free access maximizes impact, and anonymized usage signals help us improve explanations, practice, and revision timing for everyone.

Mission First

We believe every student deserves access to the best learning support - not just the ones who can afford to pay exorbitant fees.

Research driven

Anonymized and responsible usage data improves learning science and algorithms for all students.

Supported Growth

Supported by Dr. Aniruddha Malpani, an IVF expert, lifelong learner, and philanthropist, as well as grants to always keep learning free.

Opportunity Cost

Students do not fail from lack of effort. They fail from wasted time.

While we wait for better systems, learners keep circling the same material - working hard without moving forward. The cost is silent, daily, and enormous. Eklavya exists to turn effort into mastery - not repetition.

The Learning Science Behind Eklavya

Rooted in proven cognitive science research for lasting exam success

1

Retrieval Practice

Testing strengthens memory better than re-study. Our retrieval-first approach builds lasting knowledge through micro-checks and exit tickets.

Roediger & Karpicke (2006)

2

Spacing Effect

Distributed practice beats cramming. AI-powered scheduling spaces reviews optimally for exam-date retention.

Cepeda et al. (2006), Cepeda et al. (2008)

3

Interleaving

Mixing problem types improves transfer. Practice sets combine target concepts with related topics for deeper understanding.

Rohrer & Taylor (2007)

4

Worked Examples

Scaffolded solutions help novices learn. Self-explanation prompts deepen understanding and transfer.

Sweller & Cooper (1985)

5

Formative Feedback

Immediate correctness + batched explanations optimize learning. AI provides personalized guidance when you struggle.
