It is that time of the year – for exams and feverish preparations for entrance exams. Preparations for medical and engineering exams inevitably entail the mandatory, intense tuition courses. A group of youngsters, all engineers, with a view to put an end to such anxiety, has created an online entrance exam portal entri.me.
entri.me offers help for those looking to crack the Kerala engineering and medical entrance exams. It offers a pack of 10 tests for each of the subjects. Based on how the student has answered the questions, it assesses the student, points out where he/she needs more practice and provides adaptive tests based on the assessment.
Besides suggesting ways to improve and what to learn (with suggestions of course material), it predicts the approximate rank based on the scores. Interesting features such as Dashboard keep the students posted on their progress. The Progress feature, in the meanwhile, shows where the particular student is placed vis-à-vis other users who would also be attempting the tests. The portal has been designed in such a way that students get detailed inputs about where they went wrong and the questions not attempted.
Predicting the rank may sound a bit far-fetched, but according to Mohammed Hisamuddin, one of the founders of entri.me, it is based on entrance scores of the past 10 years. The co-founders of entri.me are Manseel Mohammed and Rahul Ramesh.
Study material too has been incorporated. The content has been designed by teachers with years of experience in the field, Hisamuddin assures. Research has gone into the questions too, “over a lakh questions were patterned after processing data of the last 10 years,” he says.
This portal seeks involvement of parents too. They will get regular reports on the progress of their wards besides a feedback on the areas that need improvement.
The first 1000 to enrol will get the early bird offer of Rs.1000 which is priced at between Rs.2000-3000; there is also the cash-on-delivery option. For those who want to check out how it all works they can take the sample test and decide. For more details log on to www.entri.me
