Physics Wallah ventures into undergraduate education, unveiling a four-year Computer Science and AI program. The PW Institute of Innovation (PW IOI) will kick off in September in Bengaluru, accommodating an initial cohort of approximately 100 students, according to Vishwa Mohan, Chief Investment Officer of Physics Wallah and President of PW IOI.
“What we essentially want to do is have experienced faculty and industry leaders, an industry-oriented curriculum, which will help students with relevant skills,” Mohan stated. The program, priced at ₹1.5 lakh per year for tuition and ₹1.25 lakh per year for accommodation, aims to equip students with practical skills for immediate industry deployment. The institute’s placement cell will facilitate job placement, with partners including Tata IQ, Siemens, and Amazon.
Physics Wallah’s foray into undergraduate education follows its acquisition of iNeuron.ai, subsequently rebranded as Physics Wallah Skills. The company has not disclosed its investment plans for the institute.
Established in 2020 by Alakh Pandey and Prateek Maheshwari, Physics Wallah secured $100 million in funding from WestBridge Capital and GSV Ventures in June the previous year, valuing the company at $1.1 billion.
