Hello Gradians,
In this article, we will be talking about the most talked over or pondered over topic among students, i.e. what mode should they opt for in their preparation phase? Let's start with mentioning the queries that we received on our platform. You might be having some queries in your mind or might still be in "trying to make a decision phase" about the same. We will be answering all these queries and mentioning some important points one should keep in mind while choosing between the two (online classes or offline classes).

Differences between online and offline classes
- First and foremost, let’s mention the differences between the two. In offline classes, students need to be present physically at the centre location, while online learning can be done from anywhere in the world.
- One of the major differences is flexibility in learning schedule or period. In offline mode, students have a fixed schedule of classes, fix sessions for clearing doubts, while in online classes, students can learn as per their own time convenience and pace.
- In offline mode, feedback from peers and teachers is direct, while only some online platforms provide the option of interaction among students or between Faculty and students.
Which one is better or what to choose?
- The answer to this depends on respective individuals, some prefer learning from their home while some still prefer traditional classroom experience. But over the last decade, a change in trend has been observed all over India, with the growing interest of students in learning through an online platform. Merging of technological tools with the education sector have provided a more efficient way of learning.
Students are choosing to learn through online classes for both long term courses as well as crash courses. We are mentioning some of the reasons stated by our students for choosing to learn through BYJU'S Exam Prep's live classroom programs. Going through that might help you in getting over this dilemma.

Reasons for choosing online classes over offline classes
- Cost-Effective
- Time-Saving, i.e. no need for commuting from one place to other. One can learn from sitting at home.
- Easy Accessibility, i.e. one can watch lectures any number of times and anytime. While in offline classes one can’t revisit the same class again.
- Use of analytics and other tools like graphs and 3D figures make learning easier and interesting.
- Usually, the study material is provided as PDFs, so losing material and work on it again gets out of the picture.
- Students can learn at their own pace.
- Some platforms even provide self-analysing tools, where you can see your progress as you move forward which in turn motivates a student for putting more effort.
- Features such as interactive classes, interactive quizzes facilitate communication between faculty and students.
The decision of choosing the mode one wish to prepare from is very crucial. Truly said, CHOICE, when combined with a five-letter word RIGHT, increases its importance by many folds. So, choose the right mode for preparation and the right faculty for guiding you through that phase. Choosing to prepare in a SMART way will definitely make you reach BETTER RESULTS, FASTER.
