If you click on the tabs of the various Subject Areas, you will find the list of chapters of the corresponding areas as follows:

Please note that each chapter of Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Biology has been divided into subtopics to enable you to develop an in-depth understanding of each subtopic. In order to develop this level of understanding, the following contents are provided for each subtopic.

1. Detailed explanation of theory of the concepts along with the solved examples. 
2. Interactive Exercise: The objective of this exercise is to help the student to test his comfort levels with fundamentals of the subtopic. Also, these questions help in quick review of the concepts learned.
3. Skill-Builder Exercise: This is aimed at reinforcing the concepts learned in the subtopic already discussed. This exercise is designed to help develop Knowledge, Understanding, Application and Analytical skills of a student. The objective of this exercise is to develop clarity in fundamentals and to easily understand the application of concepts.
4. Practice Worksheet: It is meant for additional practice for the student.

If you click on any chapter of the subject Videos, you will find the corresponding videos in a sequential order. For example, if you click on the Number Systemfrom Mathematics, you will find the corresponding videos as follows:

You need to click on the link “View Video” to attend a particular topic. 

Please note that these are the same videos that you were directed to when you navigated through the study plan.

While watching a video on the basics of a topic, ensure that you are attending the topic with the required stationery at hand to quickly make a note of the important points discussed in the video.

Study Material: Clicking onthistab takes you to the page that contains the notes, exercises, and solutions in the PDF format.

Once you answer all the questions, to ensure that you are right in your answers, approach, and logic, please watch the Exercise Videosfor the answers. You can validate your answers by watching these videos since the answers to all the questions are discussed in these videos elaborately.

Important:

• While attending the sessions of the exercise part, you need not worry about the question part, as it is available on the screen. 
• You need to focus well on the explanation given by the faculty when the questions are being discussed, to understand the logic and approach to the solution better.
• You may pause the session in the middle and go back to the required solution to go through the same again.
• While re-viewing the video related to the solution part, you may drag the pointer in the seek-bar to the timestamp where the solution you wish to revisit appears. 

Online Tests:

Once your understanding of the concepts is complete, the only way to ensure your holistic comprehension of the topic is to take a test. Tests can be accessed on the SHP; you have tabs for online tests which can be found on the landing page. 

Tests should be attempted online and submitted as per the instructions provided after launching the test. Please note that there are two tests on each chapter. The questions that are given in the tests will also be discussed in the video sessions. These videos help you understand the kind of errors that usually creep in,l and how to avoid them in the tests you take subsequently. The video solutions of a test will be activated once you submit the test. Please make sure to watch the video solutions to grasp the right approach of a question given in the competitive exams.

To get the best out of the online Program, you must have an active participation in making notes, working out exercises, validating your answers, and consolidating your learning through tests along with attending the video sessions regularly.
