Why online entrance?

In today’s world, everyone has been busy with their schedules due to which continuously the circumstances arise when one must skip their interest or even the need. Despite the interest of a huge number of students in joining the entrance classes to strengthen their capabilities to tackle an entrance exam, there have been several reasons that restrict them to attend live entrance classes. Basically, in this scenario of a global pandemic, it is just impossible to gather and have live entrance classes.

This bitter scenario influenced us to think- “what can be done in consideration of the need of those thousands of students?” With constant research and discussions with entrance experts, we came up with an initiation of Nepal’s 1^st online optometry entrance classes for master’s level where one can upgrade their knowledge for their upcoming entrance being at home itself, just by sparing some hour from their day. This can be a huge platform that helps to step forward across the barrier that has been restricting. Thus, upgrading your knowledge and leading your path towards ultimate success.

You can STAND OUT in the Crowd!!
