9 years ago Shalini BOn your marks…get..set..go..
In the rat race for marks and grades the essence of education is being lost. The vast syllabus, limited time and the quest for top grades may come with its share of negative impact. Schools and teachers are definitely concentrating on imparting knowledge to the students and helping students to improve their talents, but the question here is – Are the children really grasping those concepts?
This is a common problem that today’s kids are facing. Keeping this in mind, Harish Venkatesh and Nikhil Kurugant came up with this innovative startup called the Neo Quotient – a knowledge and skill improvement platform. The duo are using modern technology and techniques to disseminate knowledge and aid in skill building for the students.
Students will be quizzed and tested across innumerable topics and is then provided with feedback on his test along with the solutions. They also have an access to a vast knowledge bank that will help the students improve their skills. Students can engage in group studies and share viewpoints using the discussion forums. Game zone helps the students in playing interactive games with other students that helps in overall neural development.

Leader boards: One of the best ways to improve and succeed is by encouraging healthy competition not only against others but also against oneself. This platform has created a podium where students from various schools across multiple geographies compete in the same level playing platform to succeed. Thy have also created a reward system for those who lead the leader board on a monthly, quarterly and an annual basis.
Knowledge Bank: Usually when a student answers a question, whether right or not, they move on to the next question because most of the time the solution is not given and in cases where solution is given there is no scope for children to understand the logic behind a solution or gain additional information which will enable them to perform better in the subsequent tests, not only at Neo Quotient but elsewhere. At Neo Quotient they have a Knowledge Bank which contains the solutions for each question and additional resources to utilize the knowledge available for subsequent challenges.
