Byju’s Offers 30% Discount on Aakash Courses, Sheltering Manipal Students
By ETF Desk
Byju’s has announced a partnership with Aakash Institute, pledging to offset 30% of the fees for students in Manipal who enroll in Aakash’s competitive exam preparation courses. The move is part of a broader effort to make high‑quality coaching more affordable for families across Karnataka.
Both Byju’s and Aakash are leading names in educational technology and coaching, respectively. Byju’s, known for its app‑based learning, is leveraging its subscription platform to subsidise Aakash’s structured offline and online curriculum, which includes coaching for JEE, NEET and other entrance examinations.
According to the announcement, students from Manipal and nearby districts who register for Aakash courses this quarter will receive a 30% discount on tuition, potentially saving up to ₹30,000 per course. The partnership is expected to increase enrollment, particularly among students from lower‑ to middle‑income families, and to widen access to top‑tier exam preparation. Source: Google News – Manipal.
