Physics Guru — Original Problems in Physics

Physics Guru — Original Problems in Physics Original Problems. Unconventional Thinking. Deeper Understanding. Physics Guru is a website dedicated to original problems in Physics, founded by Manish Verma, an IIT Madras alumnus. Its purpose is to explore Physics through interesting questions, unfamiliar situations, creative applications of physical principles and detailed solutions that reveal the reasoning behind the answers. What happens when a familiar physical principle is applied in an unfamiliar situation? Can a simple observation lead to a surprising result? How can we solve a problem that does not resemble anything we have encountered before? These are the kinds of questions that inspire Physics Guru. The website is built around the belief that original problems are among the most powerful ways to develop a genuine understanding of Physics. Rather than merely repeating standard exercises or presenting familiar formula-based questions, the aim is to create and explore pr...

School Education & Specialised Preparation - Hybrid Approach

School education has academic & extra curricular components both. School education is not only meant for learning academic subjects but also is meant for the overall personality development of the student. In academics, there may be laboratory experimentation part also and therefore in-person system which is prevalent can effectively address the current requirements of synchronous education. However, these schools may be more efficient if they use online system for asynchronous education. Using this asynchronous system to conduct tests, for forum discussions, for assignments etc. they can reduce paper work and may extend the access timings. Specialised education is meant to excel in a particular area. A very common example of specialised training is for entrance examinations which are primarily theoretical (there may be questions related to experiments but actual laboratory experiments are not required to be performed for most). For this one requires highly focused approach unlik...
