Coaching and test series cost a lot, and it is hard to know which exam, college or school is right for you. Shishya is India's free education map and AI study partner. Search any school, college or exam, or pick your stage of life, and you land on its page. Not sure which government exam you can apply for? Enter your age, education and state, and Shishya lists the exams you are eligible for. Every exam has its own page, with the syllabus, dates marked official or expected, cutoffs, and free practice. Take a full mock test, a subject test or a short topic quiz. After each test you see your score and your weak topics. Stuck on a question? Ask the AI tutor in English, Hindi, Telugu or other Indian languages. Your first answer needs no account. Sign up free with Google, and the coach builds a day by day plan to your exam date, rebuilt every morning around what you did. Parents can find schools from government data, check RTE admission seats, and compare the options after class 10 or 12. Every study feature is free. No trial, no card and no premium plan. Start at shishya.in.
