"And it's hard to think of anything like IIT anywhere in the world. It is a very unique institution"
Bill Gates, Microsoft

I read this statement made by the worlds richest and the most famous person Bill Gates in a daily newspaper when I was in my early teens. From then my fantasy and dream has always been to some how enter the campus of IIT. I revealed my intention to my parents who gladly obliged and asked me to do my very best academically if I wanted my dream to come true. I started searching for resources online for my preparation for the IIT entrance coaching. I live in a small town in remote south Tamil Nadu where few people even know about IIT and its high standard of education.

After a lot of searching I came across one fantastic site which is a wholesome site for all possible resources regarding IIT and other major entrance coaching and learning material. I was surprised at the total commitment of fellow IITians and the dedication with which they worked to help other students excel in a field which they have treaded previously. Bill">All classes, tutoring and counseling are done by IIT students and so I could confidently register and start my dream program. The course material, 24x7 tutoring help, one to one interaction with real IIT students, 'solve it live' problem solving facility etc are all only a drop in the ocean as the site offers a wide range of online help which is very useful for students like me who had no hope to even aspire for an IIT coaching previously.

What surprised me was the minimum time frame within which I could get a tuition session with a real tutor. Flexible timings, instant problems solving help, clear my funda help through which I could learn my lessons from the fundamentals, online test series, and full compensation refund in times when the server is down etc are some of the great features which made me choose this online tutoring site for my dream project.

The site follows a white board technology wherein the student can work with his tutor in real time. I was able to get quick and clear guidance in all subjects because of this great feature. My parents were worried initially about the rates and the mode of payment. But this site is so user friendly that it receives payment through cheque, account to account transfer or through a credit card.

The fee for the course is very nominal keeping in mind the various excellent features which I could not see in any correspondence course. Even if I were to find a coaching center where would I get the real IIT's to help me through my problems and lessons. Moreover every rupee I pay is converted as points and as I progress I use these points to learn new things from the tutors. Rescheduling and canceling the tutoring session is not complicating as I was able to reschedule my class during a period of emergency.

I just can't wait for the live video feature through which I can watch live demo of all my problems solved online. This will create a virtual class room feeling and I am sure it will definitely help me with all my aspiration and very soon find me a place in one of the greatest institutions in India.
