# Shishya — platform context (context.md)

> Shishya (https://shishya.in) is one smart place to study for students in India: a free, AI-supported practice platform with independent sections for school (CBSE/NCERT and CISCE, Classes 1-12), entrance exams (JEE, NEET, CUET, NDA, olympiads), government exams (UPSC, SSC, banking, railways, state PSCs, police, teacher-eligibility tests), colleges and scholarships, and careers. It covers 192 entrance and government exams with 34,800+ practice questions answer-checked by AI before they are shown, mocks, previous-year-pattern sets and exam dates marked official, reported or expected; 1,146 NCERT chapters linked to the official books, 230 of them with Shishya's own notes and checked practice; 77 colleges from NIRF 2025 rankings, 186 scholarships and 94 career guides; and an AI tutor in English and 18 Indian languages — every study feature is free, with no paywall.
> This file: a token-cheap map of Shishya's independent sections — each with its hub page, its computed counts and its own context file. Data as of 2026-10-07 (IST). Free to cite; link back to https://shishya.in.
> Honesty: every number here is computed from Shishya's database or data files when this file is built — none is typed. Practice questions are Shishya's own, written with AI, and most have passed an automated answer check; exam dates carry their tier (official, reported or expected); school pages link the official books and never copy them.
> Languages: pages are in English, with Hindi and Telugu editions of the interface; practice questions can be read in English and 18 Indian languages (Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Konkani, Kashmiri, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Odia, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu) inside a mock.
