WHY PAY FOR THE PROGRAM IF YOU ARE A NON-PROFIT? WASN'T IT FREE BEFORE?

Yes the Course was free until now. The reason for starting a small fees is because there are thousands of students and more we are not able to serve. They are girls just like yourself. The fees, help us reach those girls and provide this course for free to them. The fees goes into supporting the IT systems and operations personnel who help in running the program for thousands of girls. We have unlimited scholarships, literally. If you need to apply for one click HERE.  This can be made only possibly if some who can afford pay for 5 more. Remember you are not only accelerating your career, but by paying you are doing good in this world. Congrats.!

WHAT ARE THE TIMELINES OF THE PROGRAM? IS IT REALLY HEAVY? 

The actual load of the course varies from person to person- but by average should not take more than 5 hours/week. It is a 2 month incubation program starting on the 2nd of July, and you will have 3.5 months to complete it (with assigments, tests etc). Every week has 1 module and it is self-paced, you can do it according to the time that suits you.
Every week also has a 1 Live MasterClass AND 1 Live Inspirational Speakers

WHAT IS THE COST OF THE PROGRAM IN THE MARKET?

The actual cost of the incubator (Self-Paced + numerous live master classes + numerous live talks by global experts) is more than 25,000 INR (300 US$). This pricing is  calculated from other Ed-tech platforms as well as Govt. Platforms  (National skill deveolpment initiative) that charge fees (check it yourself on google). 
The cost of the accelerator is more than 40,000 - 80,000 INR (600-1000US$) - Large part of that is the time of the mentor. Thanks to the Mentors and Experts who volunteer for free with us, the program is made possible for everyone.

HOW IS IT SUBSIDIZED, AND WHAT ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE COURSE? 

The program is subsidized 1) By experts who "donate" their time and provide world-class coaching for free or very low rates. The world is filled by extremely talented mentors who want to do good. 2) VigyanShaala is a non-profit, and there are no shares/stocks or business valuation, so no one can pocket profits.
The lectures and content are created by experts many of whom including the core of team of VigyanShaala come from Top 0.1% global universities. We live world-class quality everyday and internalize quality day-in day-out.

HOW MANY LIVE SESSIONS ARE THERE? WHAT IF I MISS ONE?

There are 2 Live sessions every week (MasterClass and Inpsiraitonal speakers) of which at-least 1 session every week must be attended live. We have numerous live sessions happening paralleley, attendance of which are as per our choice. For the live sessions we recommend listening to the MasterClasses and Inpsirational speakers live. Talk to the speakers, ask doubts, questions etc.
However for any reason if you miss the live class, the recording of the MasterClass will be available. It is mandatory to attend the MasterClass or watch the recorded version if you missed it for certification.

WHEN WILL THE ACCELERATOR START AND WHAT IS THE COST OF THE ACCELERATOR?  

The dates of the next batch of accelerator is not finalized and will depend on the number of students finishing the incubator. But we expect the next batch to start in Sept-Oct 2022.

The accelerator is our Flagship program in Kalpana. It is not automated, as human connections are made. Due to this fact, the cost even after being subsidized by donations is yet to be fixed. But the ball park would be around 6,000 - 10,000 INR. Of course it will be COMPLETELY FREE for all who really can not afford it (<5Lacs INR per annum) OR face any other challenges.!
