VidyaCenter – attempting to be the eBay for Education?

Started by ex-IITians, VidyaCenter is an online platform to connect teachers and students. Unlike other portals, VidyaCenter is not serving as a gatekeeper and is allowing students to post their queries (for free), and teachers (which could be an individual, coaching centers, or institutes) can post responses to students’s queries (and sell them study packages/materials/tution etc)

VidyaCenter is trying to create an ebay like marketplace for students and teachers and has ~400 individual providers and around 40 institutes maybe, an attempt to disrupt the walled-garden?

What’s your take?

      Very good new concept. It would take time but would surely make a mark.

      Keep up the good work guys.

      And probably make it easier for students to find ‘guide books’ and ‘kunjis’… more ways to memories responses for exams. How about something that will actually encourage original thought on part of students?
