A city of learning for centuries, now with a personal AI tutor in every student's pocket.
Varanasi is one of India's oldest centres of learning and home to Banaras Hindu University, which includes IIT BHU and the Institute of Medical Sciences. Students here study under the UP Board and CBSE with big goals. CogniGuru gives Class 9–12 students a tutor that explains any NCERT doubt in a minute, in Hindi or English.
Can you explain projectile motion? I don’t get why the path curves.
Let’s think through a basketball jump shot. The instant the ball leaves your hand, it keeps drifting toward the hoop at a steady speed while gravity pulls it down the whole time — those two motions happen together, and that’s what bends the path into an arc. Quick check: at the very top of the arc, is the ball still moving forward?
Yes — otherwise it would just drop straight down before reaching the hoop.
Exactly. Gravity only acts on the up-and-down motion — the forward motion carries on untouched. That’s projectile motion, and you just worked it out from a jump shot.
How studying works in Varanasi
Varanasi's school system is a mix of UP Board and CBSE schools, and Hindi is the language most students think in. That makes the Hindi version of CogniGuru's lessons especially useful here: concepts are explained in natural Hindi, with the English technical terms students must write in the exam kept in English.
Banaras Hindu University dominates the academic landscape. IIT BHU and the Institute of Medical Sciences are among the best-known aspirations in eastern Uttar Pradesh, and BHU's undergraduate admissions run through CUET, so preparation here often means board marks, CUET and JEE or NEET in parallel.
Varanasi's school year follows the UP Board and CBSE calendars, with a hot, long summer and a winter board-exam season. Many students study in Hindi at school and read English technical terms from NCERT, so bilingual explanations that name the English term while explaining in Hindi remove a common source of confusion.

Class 9 to 12 in Varanasi
What the school year asks of a student here, and where a personal tutor helps.
Class 9
Foundation year. Motion, force, atoms and cells are the first chapters worth understanding rather than memorising, and Hindi explanations make that easier for students who think in Hindi.
Class 10
Board year under the UP Board or CBSE. Electricity, light, chemical reactions and heredity are heavy chapters; short doubt lessons help before the pre-boards.
Class 11
The stream and entrance-exam decision year. NCERT Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Biology are a big step up; students aiming at BHU should also plan for CUET.
Class 12
Boards, CUET and JEE/NEET together. Prioritise concepts examined by more than one of them, like genetics, electrostatics and calculus.
