Byju's Offers 30% Discount on Aakash Coaching to Support Manipal Students
By ETF Desk
Byju’s, the Indian online education juggernaut, has announced a partnership with Aakash Institute to offer a 30% discount on admission fees for students preparing for competitive exams in Manipal and the surrounding areas. The move, announced earlier this week, aims to lighten the financial load on families and broaden access to high‑quality coaching.
Aakash Institute, one of the country’s leading coaching centres for JEE and NEET exams, has historically charged premium rates that can be a barrier for many aspirants. Byju’s will provide the discount through its own digital platform, enabling students to enrol at a reduced cost while still receiving the same curriculum and faculty support that Aakash is known for. The initiative coincides with a broader push in Karnataka to increase educational affordability and has been welcomed by local schools and parents alike.
The 30% price cut is expected to benefit thousands of students across Udupi District, offering a cost saving of up to ₹12,000 per enrolment. Educational analysts predict that this collaboration will help retain a larger pool of talent in the region and could stimulate greater participation in competitive examinations.
