“#Amazon India launches online academy to coach engineers<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

BENGALURU \u2013 Amazon.com Inc has launched an online academy to train students for one of India\u2019s most competitive college entrance tests, the e-commerce giant said on Wednesday, as it taps a boom in virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmazon Academy\u201d, available as a website and an Android smartphone app<\/a>, will offer learning material, live lectures and assessments to help students prepare for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), which allows entry into top engineering schools across India.<\/p>\n

Content on the platform is currently available free and will remain free for \u201cthe next few months\u201d, Amazon India said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Each year, close to two million aspirants to coveted undergraduate engineering courses take the government-run JEE, for which some take additional classes with private tutors. Many of those tuition centers have either moved online or shut during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

India has seen a boom in online education, or ed-tech, a market which has only expanded as the pandemic forced schools to close.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s online education market for grades 1 to 12 should expand six-fold to $1.7 billion by 2022, while the market for students beyond grade 12 is set to nearly quadruple to $1.8 billion, consultancy RedSeer estimates.<\/p>\n

Indian ed-tech startups including Unacademy, Vedantu and market leader BYJU\u2019s raised $2.22 billion in 2020, about four times the amount raised a year earlier, according to the Indian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association and PGA Labs.<\/p>\n

BYJU\u2019s, backed by US investment firm Tiger Global and SoftBank-backed Unacademy raised the most capital last year, at $1.35 billion and $264 million, respectively.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
