www.24x7guru.com launched
As the new school academic year gets on its way, BodhTree Consulting, a leading provider of SOA Consulting & Web Services Integration and Unified Council, India’s first ISO 9001 certified organisation, engaged in conducting the widely popular National Level Science Talent Search Examination across India and another eight countries has teamed up to launch www.24x7guru.com, a unique online diagnostic and self-assessment tool for the students studying from Class 3 to 10. 24x7guru.com combines Unified Council’s Education content and BodhTree’s online diagnostic and assessment engine to help students study more efficiently, evaluate their progress and scale better grades in science and mathematics subjects.
The focal point of 24x7guru.com is the accessibility of class and course specific information by which students can assess their learning and rate their progress everyday after school hours.
As students study subjects from their school, they can come back and evaluate their learning proficiency by answering questions about those subjects. 24x7guru.com then scores those answers and demonstrates to students their strengths and weaknesses.
