Physics Wallah, or PW - JEE/NEET | Boards | 8-12, is a freemium app founded by Alakh Pandey. First starting out as a YouTube channel in 2014, it gradually evolved into one of the best educational platforms in India. With the goal of providing accessible education for Indian students from classes 6 to 12, the app ensures that all resources are not only affordable but also well-structured and comprehensive.

Apart from physics, Physics Wallah provides learning materials on other disciplines, including biology, chemistry, engineering, and many more. Although it’s an exam preparation app, learners can use it to improve their academic performance.

With lectures and mock exams

Whether you’re trying to understand a complex topic for an upcoming quiz or reviewing for a competitive exam, Physics Wallah has everything you need to help make learning easier and pass all examinations with flying colors. With live and engaging in-app lectures, students from across the country can answer polls and submit or react to comments from the comfort of their homes.

There are also recorded lectures, downloadable notes, and assignments, allowing learners to hone their skills as well as revisit and understand more difficult topics. Like Testbook Exam Preparation App and Exam Preparation: Live Classes, the app contains mock tests—albeit curated for your learning needs—for psyching up your mind for the real exam and assessing your strengths and weaknesses in a subject.

On the other hand, this app has its drawbacks. For instance—despite the presence of a “Download” button—some users are unable to save recorded lectures as the videos are stuck at the processing stage. There are also cases of students not being able to attend live lectures on their iPads. What’s even worse, though, are the instructors who make disrespectful remarks about their students.

Teacher professionalism needs more work

From a YouTube channel with an ever-growing subscriber count to a top EdTech platform, Physics Wallah is a strong contender in the exam preparation market. With affordable, comprehensive educational materials, engaging lectures, and mock tests, learners can prepare for any competitive examination with ease. However—given the unprofessional work ethic of some teachers—the app should work on ensuring a safer learning environment for students.
