Frequently asked questions

Create an account and register your child, or ask the admission team to call you first. The team reviews every registration and calls you. After that you add your child's photo and documents, complete the online formalities, and receive your child's login. The steps are set out in From account to first class.

The admission team tells you the fee, what it includes and how to pay when they speak with you, before enrolment. It is paid online at enrolment, and nothing is paid before the conversation.

Nothing is taken away. The after-school pathway your child follows today continues, and the full school day is a second pathway on the same platform, for families who want iGurukulam to be the school itself. One account will cover both. [UNIFIED PLATFORM DETAILS: when present logins move, and whether the after-school courses are included for full-day children]

Yes. Children of 3 to 11 join at the level that suits their age, whatever school they come from; the admission team places them after speaking with you. Records are kept in the form the board requires, so a child who later moves to another board carries a clear account of what they have learnt: a learning record, a portfolio of their work and a transfer letter.

Yes. Sessions run on Indian Standard Time through the day, and the book kit ships within India. The admission team will tell you what the timings are in your city, and how the books reach you, before you decide. [OVERSEAS DETAILS]

Children aged 3 to 5 (Bala) can join a morning batch or an evening pathway. [MORNING BATCH: TIMINGS, DAYS AND WHAT IT INCLUDES] [EVENING PATHWAY: TIMINGS, DAYS AND WHAT IT INCLUDES] The admission team helps you choose when they speak with you. See the two pathways.

Yes. Self-paced after-school learning lets a child who stays in their own school learn the Indian Knowledge Systems after school hours, at their own pace. [SELF-PACED AFTER-SCHOOL LEARNING: AGES, HOW IT WORKS AND THE FEE] Ask us to call you to find out which suits your child.

Yes. iGurukulam prepares a child for the 10th and 12th on CBSE or NIOS, both national boards under the Ministry of Education whose certificates are recognised for admission to universities and for the national entrance examinations: JEE for engineering, NEET for medicine, CLAT for law, the CA and CS foundations for commerce, UPSC later on. Every pathway stays open, including AI and computing, the Indian Knowledge Systems and Anaadi's own 17+ pathway. Each examining body sets its own eligibility rules; the admission team walks you through them for the path your child has in mind.

In the sample days, about five and a half hours are live: four one-hour subject sessions, guru pooja and yoga, pārāyaṇa and yoga nidra, broken by breakfast and lunch. Swādhyāya and krīḍā, four hours, are off the screen. [SCREEN TIME BY LEVEL: confirm against the real timetables]

Yes. Watch the two-minute introduction, and join an online open session, where an acharya takes a short class and the admission team answers questions: [OPEN SESSION DATES]. One session each month is timed for families abroad.

Classes are taught in [LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION]. English is taught as a subject at every level, and Samskritam from the first year. The platform's own screens come in English, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi, so the family can follow the day in the language it prefers.

Nothing to sit, for years. A young child simply learns, through the four levels, and the school keeps the records the board requires. The first board examination is the 10th, on CBSE or NIOS, with the 12th after it, and iGurukulam prepares children for both when the time comes.

The day runs in the gurukulam rhythm, 8:00 to 7:00 Indian time: guru pooja and yoga, four one-hour live sessions with breakfast and lunch between, pārāyaṇa and yoga nidra, then two hours of swādhyāya (self-study from the book kit) and two of krīḍā (play) off the screen, and guru pooja to close. The exact timetable for each batch is shared before the year starts.

Every class is live, and the class teacher tells you what was covered and which pages of the book kit to work on. [RECORDING POLICY: whether a recording is kept for children who missed the class, and for how long]

Yes. CBSE, the Central Board of Secondary Education, and NIOS, the National Institute of Open Schooling, are both national boards under the Ministry of Education. Their 10th and 12th certificates are recognised for university admission and the national entrance examinations. [CBSE AFFILIATION DETAILS]

Both boards are offered on the same school day, with the same acharyas and the same Indian Knowledge Systems beside them. The admission team helps you choose the board that suits your child when they speak with you. [HOW THE BOARD IS CHOSEN: who follows CBSE, who follows NIOS, and whether a child can move between them]

English is taught as a subject at every level, alongside Samskritam and the Indian Knowledge Systems stream, so a child reads, writes and speaks it with confidence whatever the language of instruction.

Teachers mark every assignment and leave a comment. Over time the marks build a topic-by-topic picture of your child's strengths and the areas that need practice, and you see it on your dashboard alongside attendance and feedback.

Yes. Your dashboard shows attendance, assignments and teacher feedback, and you can message any of your child's teachers. Your child also gets a login of their own, for the timetable and assignments.

Acharyas rooted in the traditions they teach, strong in their subject and at ease with young children, chosen through selection, training and evaluation by the gurus of the Anaadi Gurukulams (see How the acharyas are chosen). The names for 2027 are announced to families before the year begins. The curriculum behind them is built by a team of IIT graduates, PhD holders and people with master's degrees from India and the United States, together with the gurus. Every batch has one class teacher for the year, and you can message any of your child's teachers from the app.

The child rejoins from the same Join button when the connection is back; the class goes on, and the class teacher notes who dropped out so nothing is held against the child. If it keeps happening, the team helps you check the connection. A wired line or 5 GHz Wi-Fi of 10 Mbps both ways is enough.

A laptop, or a tablet of 10 inches or more, and internet of 10 Mbps both ways. Also a headset with a microphone, and the Chrome browser with an email address. Phones are for notifications and chat, not for classes. More under What we ask of your home.
