1. Studying for exams such as JEE, NEET, GRE, or UPSC has nearly become a test of endurance. I've witnessed friends (and myself) waste hours and hours digging through books or coaching classes, only to find out later half the questions we were rehearsing weren't even the type we had been struggling with. Coaching centers, though beneficial, are costly and make everyone learn the same — whether you're weak in fundamentals or targeting the very top.

That is why I came up with an AI-driven Personalized Tutor App. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach with all students, it would learn your weaknesses and your strengths through practice tests and create a learning trajectory specifically for you. Picture an app that not only informs you where you are doing wrong, but also breaks concepts down step by step, provides the correct amount of practice, and even replicates the stress of the actual exam — all on your phone.

I envision this being particularly potent for students in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where there are few coaching opportunities. Parents also would have peace of mind, knowing that their child is learning smarter, not harder, and without investing lakhs in large institutes.

• This is important to me because I know from my own experience how stressful it can be taking competitive exams. Students often aren't lacking ability — they're lacking the right advice. With AI, I think we can provide every student with an individual tutor in their pocket, and make high-quality learning available for all.
