Increasing Internet and Smartphone Penetration
According to the data provided by the PIB, as of March 2024, among a total of 954.40 million internet subscribers in India, there are 398.35 million subscribers in rural areas. Moreover, the overall number of internet subscribers in the nation has risen from 251.59 million in March 2014 to 954.40 million in March 2024, reflecting a CAGR of 14.26%. The expansion of internet connectivity and low-cost smartphones is contributing to the availability of online test preparation throughout India. As 4G and 5G networks extend to isolated regions, students are able to access digital learning platforms without location limitations. The low cost of mobile data is further motivating students from various socio-economic backgrounds to choose online preparation instead of conventional coaching centers. The ease of studying at any time and from any location via mobile apps and online platforms is changing how candidates get ready for competitive exams. Live lectures, recorded sessions, and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered customized learning resources are allowing students to learn at their own pace. The presence of adaptive learning technologies guarantees that students obtain personalized study plans tailored as per their performance, boosting engagement and retention. The increasing dependence on mobile learning tools is leading to a preference for online test preparation.
Rising Competition in Competitive Exams
The growing number of aspirants appearing for national and state-level entrance and government job examinations is catalyzing the demand for online test preparation. With limited seats in prestigious institutions and government jobs, students are seeking advanced preparation tools to gain a competitive edge. The online format provides access to high-quality study materials, mock tests, and performance analytics that improve exam readiness. AI-driven analytics and real-time feedback mechanisms help students track their progress and identify weak areas, enabling focused learning strategies. The availability of structured curriculum-based courses designed by subject matter experts is attracting students who want an efficient and result-oriented approach to exam preparation. The flexibility of learning schedules, cost-effectiveness, and wider reach of digital coaching platforms are making online test preparation a preferred choice over traditional coaching institutes. This rising demand is encouraging edtech companies to introduce innovative offerings, driving continuous growth in the sector. In 2024, Gagan Pratap, a renowned educator, launched Test Ranker, an online platform aimed at enhancing preparation for SSC, Railway, and competitive exams. It offered a real exam experience, topic-specific tests, real-time performance evaluation, and all-India ranking. The platform was designed to provide students with a comprehensive mock test preparation experience.
