The state-run Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE) has launched an ambitious initiative to provide support and guidance to over 8,00,000 public school students in preparing for various undergraduate entrance exams.

KITE is the technology arm of the General Education Department, Government of Kerala.

The program titled ‘Key to Entrance’ was inaugurated by General Education Minister V. Sivankutty here on Saturday.

The main aim of the initiative is the state’s commitment to expanding educational opportunities and supporting students in the fields of science, humanities and business, an official statement said here on Sunday.

The dedicated portal for the initiative, www.entrance.kite.kerala.gov.in, provides free login access to students of higher secondary and vocational higher secondary schools in government and aided schools and enables them to access a wide range of learning materials, including questionnaires, assignments and mock tests, it said

All these resources will be available after the daily live classes broadcast on the KITE VICTERS channel from September 30, with simultaneous broadcast on two PM eVidya channels exclusively reserved for Kerala.

Students who miss the live sessions can watch them later via KITE’s YouTube channel.

The program will initially cover a comprehensive range of subjects, including chemistry, physics, botany, zoology, mathematics, history, political science, business administration, English and geography, and there are plans to expand it to more subjects in the future, it said.

There will be self-assessment opportunities in each class, allowing students to assess their progress and identify opportunities for improvement. The statement further said that continuous assessment will be facilitated through online mock exams to ensure effective learning outcomes.

To ensure smooth implementation of the initiative, the Director of General Education (DGE) has directed all schools to provide students with the necessary technical facilities.

K Anvar Sadath, Chief Executive Officer, KITE, said this is the largest public entrance examination training system in Kerala, reaching nearly 800,000 students.

“Our aim is to replicate the success of last year’s Crack the Entrance crash course, which saw excellent participation and impressive results for students preparing for the medical and engineering entrance exams,” he added.
