The district Padho Punjab Padhao Punjab (PPPP) team has come up with a mobile application, ‘PPPP Jalandhar’ to cater to the educational needs of students from Classes VI to X. The application has an additional column for Class X students, aspiring to crack meritorious school entrance test.

The team has started instructing teachers to motivate students to download the app so that they can avail maximum benefit from it. It can be downloaded for free from the Google playstore.

Chander Shekhar, district mentor, English, and social studies, said the app had been developed for all students from Classes VI to X. But it has a special feature for students of Class X aiming to clear the meritorious entrance exam and wants to prepare for the National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) and the State Talent Search Examination (STSE).

“The app contains maths, science and English e-content as well as multimedia videos. The feature of weekly test has also been added to the app,” he said, adding that students these days were making much use of technology and were searching various websites, videos, etc, to prepare for upcoming competitive exams. Thus, to help them in their preparations, the Padho Punjab district team had come up with the idea of the ‘PPPP Jalandhar’ app.

He said through the app, the PPP team would provide free coaching to students.

“We have uploaded academic syllabus of all classes, old question papers and frequently asked questions in the app so that students do not have to make notes and can revise any topic by just clicking on it,” he said.

He said as many as 650 students had already enrolled themselves and downloaded the app. Shekhar said the app had interactive content and students could also take quizzes on the app. “One can also join the quiz room and compete with other students simultaneously. Various topics are provided in maths, science, social studies and English subjects, which students can go through any time they want. There are nearly 15 to 30 elements in each subject,” he added.

“After one month, we will organise a mock test of meritorious entrance exam and all students will participate via app only. Besides, it has many academic activities too through which students can enhance vocabulary and learn grammar,” he added.

How to register

Students of Classes VI to X need to register themselves under the ‘student’s corner’ option and those willing to register for free coaching for meritorious entrance, have to click on the ‘Online coaching’ option and fill their details such as name, school, phone number, e-mail and language.
