KITE VICTERS channel
A dedicated portal, entrance.kite.kerala.gov.in, has been introduced to provide free content access to higher secondary and vocational higher secondary students from government and aided schools. The platform offers broad variety of resources, including sample papers, assignments, and mock tests, uploaded for students after live daily classes. These live sessions broadcast on the KITE VICTERS channel on September 30, which will be broadcast on two PM eVidya channels specifically allocated for Kerala. Students who can’t attent the session live can access the lecture from the KITE’s YouTube channel.
Initially the programme will initially cover a wide range of subjects, including Chemistry, Physics, Botany, Zoology, Mathematics, History, Political Science, Business Studies, English, and Geography, having goal to increase the number of subjects in future.
With every session, students have a chance to evaluate themselves so that they can track their development and focus on the areas that still require work. To make ensure learning objectives are achieved, online sample tests will be used for continuous assessment.
The Director of General Education (DGE) has issued prospectus to all schools to make the necessary technical arrangement available for students for the smooth implantation of the initiative.
K Anvar Sadath, CEO of KITE, said that the program is Kerala’s largest public training system for entrance exams, accessible almost 800,000 students. He pointed the success of last year’s “Crack the Entrance” crash course, which witnessed great participation and fantastic outcomes for students preparing for entrance examinations in engineering and medicine.
