PAL solutions that are already making a difference.

One Classroom,
Many Learning Levels
In many Indian classrooms, students sit side by side but learn at vastly different levels—some are up to five grades behind. This wide variation makes it nearly impossible for teachers to teach a single curriculum effectively. As a result, academically weaker students often make no progress at all, despite regular attendance. Without targeted support, the gap only grows each year.
Students in the same grade can be five to six grade levels apart in actual ability, making it nearly impossible for teachers to follow a one-size-fits-all approach.
Research shows that weaker students often learn nothing at all under the status quo—despite regular school attendance.
In reality, most students fall behind early and continue to fall further every year.
Impact
Proven Results Backed by Rigorous Research
Adaptive learning boosts maths understanding
A 2013 study shows how adaptive logic helped Year 5 students overcome maths misconceptions—especially in fractions.
Tech-aided learning yields big gains
A large-scale J-PAL study found Ei Mindspark’s adaptive instruction improved maths and Hindi skills among grades 6–9 in Delhi.
Struggling students gain from adaptive maths
A Rajasthan-based study showed low-performing students benefit most from computer-adaptive maths tools.
Personalised remediation helps students catch up
In model public schools, a Mindspark-based study found meaningful gains among students below grade level.
PAL is already making a real difference. In rigorous studies, students using PAL improved test scores over 2x more than peers. The evidence is clear: PAL works, and it’s ready to scale.

What Users Say About PAL
PAL helps to meet student-specific learning needs by adapting educational content through technology.
I have seen many students light up with enthusiasm in Swift PAL Lab. I am amazed at how PAL identifies the learning gaps of each child and provides the right level of exercises and content. I know students who were struggling with basic Math and Hindi but are confidently improving in my class exams. I am happy with PAL.

Subject Teacher – Maths and Hindi
In Mind spark, I get questions that match my level. When I make a mistake, it explains it to me. That’s why I learn better.
I wait for Mindspark class every day. It feels like a game but I learn so much from it.

Mindspark has helped me improve in studies. I even started doing it at home because it makes learning fun.
