Free official classes this week
Government channels and portals that teach for free: SATHEE (Ministry of Education and IIT Kanpur), SWAYAM PRABHA TV, NPTEL and the PM eVidya class channels. Shishya runs none of these classes; every time below is copied from the official schedule, with the day we read it. Times are Indian Standard Time. Tap a time to add it to your calendar.
Live means a teacher is on air at that time. Most SWAYAM PRABHA programmes are recorded lectures shown at fixed times and repeated during the day, so they are listed separately as TV telecasts.
Live sessions
PM eVidya class channels (Class 1 to 12)
Each NCERT class channel has a weekly live session with subject experts, as printed in CIET-NCERT's October 2026 schedules (read 22 Oct 2026).
The October 2026 schedules we read do not cover the coming days. Open CIET-NCERT's schedule page for this month's PDF for your class; the live session day and time are printed in it.
SATHEE (sathee.iitk.ac.in)
- NEET Achievers Batch – Evening Programme (12th Passout): started 3 Sep 2026, 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM. The notice prints no weekdays and no joining link. Ask SATHEE on its site or app how to join.
