Joining your institute and classes

For students and parents — how to accept an invite, find your dashboard, and start learning.

Students & parents

Getting invited

Your institute admin or tutor sends an invitation to your email. The email contains a link to join your institute’s portal (e.g. academy.pathshala.co).

  1. Open the invitation email
  2. Click the link
  3. Create a Pathshala account (or log in if you already have one)
  4. Accept the invite — you’re now a Student at that institute

If approval is required, you may wait in Pending status until an admin approves you. You’ll get access once approved.

Your student dashboard

After logging in, go to Dashboard. You’ll see:

Student menu

Enroll in a course

  1. Dashboard → Browse Courses
  2. Open a course that interests you
  3. If enrollment is open, click Enroll on a batch (class group)
  4. You’re enrolled — the course appears on your dashboard

Some courses are admin-enrolled only — you’ll see them on your dashboard without self-enrolling.

Book a session with a tutor

  1. Dashboard → Tutors → open a tutor’s profile
  2. Click Book
  3. Choose subject, date, and time
  4. Submit — either Confirm booking (instant) or Request to book (tutor must approve)

See Session approval and booking.

Complete your profile

Dashboard → Profile (or student profile page)

Compliance documents

If your institute requires signed forms (policies, consent, etc.):

  1. Dashboard shows a compliance alert
  2. Go to Compliance
  3. Read and sign each document

Need help?

Contact your institute admin first. For platform issues, email support@pathshala.co or use Dashboard → Support if available.
