For Educators & Institutes
Everything educators, tutors, and institute owners need to know — features explained with real examples, pricing, and how Pathshala replaces your current tools.
Pathshala is an all-in-one platform that replaces the 5–10 tools educators typically stitch together — Zoom for classes, Google Calendar for scheduling, WhatsApp for communication, Excel for attendance, and scattered drives for content. It's built specifically for solo tutors, coaching centers, training institutes, and universities. Think of it as a complete operating system for your education business: you teach, manage students and tutors, host courses, track attendance, collect fees, and even help students with their careers — all from one platform with your own branding and domain.
It's absolutely for you. Start with a 14-day free trial — no credit card needed. You get live classes, scheduling, student dashboards, attendance, AI Course Builder, and every feature the platform offers. Example: if you teach IELTS to 20 students, you can schedule your weekly sessions, students join via a link, attendance is auto-marked, and they can review recorded sessions later. You don't need to be a big institute to benefit — the platform scales from 1 tutor teaching 5 students all the way to large institutes managing thousands. After the trial, the single plan starts at ₹1,000/mo (India) or $100/mo (global) plus a per-student fee.
With Zoom + Drive + WhatsApp, nothing is connected. You schedule on Calendar, share the link on WhatsApp, teach on Zoom, take screenshots for attendance, upload recordings to Drive, and track fees in Excel. If a parent asks "how is my child doing?" — you scramble across 5 apps. With Pathshala: you schedule a session, students get auto-notified, they join the live class, attendance is marked automatically, the recording is saved to their dashboard, and you (or the parent) can see attendance history, course progress, and upcoming sessions in one view. Zero manual work.
The AI Course Builder lets you create a full structured course by just describing what you want to teach. Example: you type "Create a 10-week course on JEE Physics — Mechanics for Class 11" and the AI generates a complete syllabus with weekly modules (Newton's Laws, Work & Energy, Rotational Motion, etc.), lesson content for each topic, practice problems, and assessment criteria. You review it, edit anything you want, add your own videos or PDFs, and publish. What would take you 10–15 hours of planning is done in 15 minutes. AI Course Builder is included on every plan with unlimited generation.
Yes — multi-tutor management is included on every plan. You add each tutor, assign them subjects and batches (e.g., "Amit → JEE Physics, Batch A"), track their session hours, see student feedback, and even manage payroll — calculate hours, generate pay slips, store contracts and compliance documents. Each tutor gets their own login and dashboard, but you see everything as the admin. There are no tutor limits — the per-student fee scales with your institute.
It means students visit YOUR website — not some third-party URL. Example: if your institute is called "Apex Academy", students go to apexacademy.com (your custom domain). They see your logo, your colors, your name. There's no "powered by Pathshala" badge. To students and parents, it looks like you built your own professional platform — but behind the scenes, it's powered by Pathshala. This builds trust and makes you look established.
Career DNA is an AI-powered career engine built into the platform that helps YOUR students build resumes, write SOPs for university applications, optimize their LinkedIn profiles, and create portfolios — all personalized from their actual profile data. Why you should care: it's a massive enrollment differentiator. When you tell a parent "join my institute and your child also gets AI-powered career support — resume building, university guidance, portfolio creation" — that's something no competitor offers. It helps you enroll MORE students because you're offering outcomes, not just teaching.
Every educator on Pathshala is automatically listed on the Pathshala Network — a discovery platform where students and parents search for tutors and institutes. Think of it as "Google Maps for education." If a parent in your city searches for "NEET coaching" or "spoken English tutor", your profile shows up with your subjects, ratings, and a direct link to your platform. It's free visibility — no ad spend, no Instagram marketing. You're discoverable just by being on the platform.
One plan, everything included. India: ₹1,000/mo base + ₹50 per student/mo, billed annually (₹12,000 upfront). Global: $100/mo base + $1 per student/mo, billed annually ($1,200 upfront). Per-student fee is auto-charged at the end of each month. Every feature is included — AI Course Builder, Career DNA, white-label branding, custom domain, live classes, recordings, compliance tools, the works. Enterprise (1,000+ students): custom pricing. Start with a 14-day free trial — no card required.
Billing is annual-only (this is permanent, not just a launch thing). Here's why: education follows academic cycles — students enroll for semesters or years, not random months. Monthly billing creates 12 "should I cancel?" decisions per year, which doesn't match how education businesses actually work. Annual billing means you commit once, focus on teaching for the year, and we can invest in your infrastructure without worrying about month-to-month churn. The monthly price shown (e.g., ₹1,000/mo) is the equivalent — you're charged the annual total upfront (e.g., ₹12,000/yr for India).
Pathshala charges a 2% platform fee on student payments processed through the platform, in addition to the payment gateway's own processing fee (Stripe or Razorpay). Your subscription and features are unaffected by the platform fee.
Pathshala: ₹1,000/mo + ₹50/student vs Graphy ₹1,999/mo, Classplus ~₹667–4,167/mo. Plus: every feature included at one price — AI Course Builder, Career DNA, compliance, white-label branding. No tiers to compare. 14-day free trial to get started.
Pathshala: $100/mo + $1/student vs Teachable $39+/mo, Thinkific $49+/mo, Kajabi $143+/mo. The difference: Pathshala includes everything at one price — AI Course Builder, Career DNA, multi-tutor management, live classes, white-label branding. No feature gating across tiers. 14-day free trial.
There is no free plan — Pathshala offers a 14-day free trial instead. During the trial you get access to every feature: live classes, scheduling, attendance, AI Course Builder, student portal, Career DNA, white-label branding, and more. After the trial, the single plan starts at ₹1,000/mo (India) or $100/mo (global) base, plus a per-student fee.
If you can use WhatsApp and YouTube, you can use Pathshala. Setup: go to pathshala.co, click Get Started, enter your name and email, name your institute — done (2 minutes). Creating a course: open AI Course Builder, type your topic, review what the AI generates, publish. Scheduling a class: pick a date, pick a time, select the batch, save. Students joining: they click a link, enter the video call. No coding, no technical setup, no "configuration files." We designed this for educators, not engineers.
There's nothing to outgrow — every feature is included from day one. As your student count grows, your per-student fee scales with you. For institutes with 1,000+ students, we offer custom enterprise pricing. Reach out and we'll build a plan that fits.
Yes. The platform is fully mobile-responsive — students open it in their phone browser and see their dashboard: upcoming classes, course progress, recorded sessions, Career DNA tools, and announcements. A native mobile app (Pathshala Connect) is also available for download. Students don't need a laptop or desktop — everything works on their phone.
No lock-in. If you cancel, you get 30 days to export all your data — student records, course content, attendance logs, recordings, and financial history. After that, your account is deactivated but data is retained for 90 days in case you change your mind. We never hold your data hostage or charge you to export it.
No. Student access is included in YOUR subscription. Students log in for free — they see their dashboard, attend live classes, access courses, track progress, and use Career DNA. You can optionally sell specific courses or charge enrollment fees through the platform if you want, but student access itself costs them nothing.
Udemy and Coursera are marketplaces — you're one of millions of instructors, you compete on price, they take 50–75% revenue share, and you don't own the student relationship. Pathshala gives you YOUR OWN platform: your brand, your domain, your pricing, and you own every student relationship. You're not a vendor on someone else's platform — you ARE the platform.
Not necessarily. You can use Pathshala as your teaching and management backend while keeping your existing website for marketing. Students access their portal via a subdomain (e.g., learn.yourinstitute.com) or a custom domain. Alternatively, if your current website is just a basic landing page, you can replace it entirely with your Pathshala branded platform — it serves as both your public presence and your operational backend.
