The launch took place today across India simultaneously at 45 locations with the main event taking place at the JW Marriott Hotel, Aerocity in Delhi that was graced by J C Chaudhry, Chairman; Aakash Chaudhry, Managing Director and Abhishek Maheshwari, CEO, Aakash BYJU’S along with other company officials.

The top 2,000 students would be given free coaching to Aakash BYJU’s most sought after NEET and IIT-JEE coaching programmes, based on special considerations.
For identifying the beneficiary students, Aakash will partner with select NGOs, who can nominate students from economically weaker section, only girl child, and single parent (mother).
