If you are confused with some specific topics in any subject, go ahead and read about it on this website. If you cannot find that specific topic, contact us and someone will surely answer you. If you are not able to get additional help outside your school/ college, this is a very good place for you.

• Open Teaching Project (OTP) is not a comprehensive study guide. It is an evolving process and more information will be available over the time. However, it will never become one and only place for study materials. So, do not stop going to school/ college !

• Open Teaching Project is not an academic institution. We do not award any degree.

We have started with high school standards (higher secondary, joint entrance examination, etc.) but we will also include undergraduate levels. We are willing to include secondary and school level education in near future.

Our primary language for discussions will be English. We understand that many students in India study in their own regional languages. Therefore, we aim to have discussions in other languages as well. We have started with Bangla as the other regional language.

Students like you are the backbone of Padakshep. You can help in both ends of this project:

• You can share your own study materials with us for publishing online. You will be duly acknowledged. If you haven’t created your own study materials, you can start working on it now. However, contact us to know what we need at this point.

• You can visit this website once in a while to learn more on what you have already known. If you find this website useful, please share with your friends. Share as much as you can.

We need you to spread education. You can write study materials for this website. Your knowledge in the field of your expertise will not be limited to your institution anymore. You can educate anyone from anywhere.

Send us an email via our contact page about your intentions. We will then send you a guideline which you should stick to. If you have already written discussions on your subject, please reformat them according to our guideline. You can get your article reviewed by your friends and peers before submission. Once submitted, your article will be reviewed by our reviewers and you should communicate with them accordingly.

Unfortunately, we cannot offer you any compensation for your service in order to keep this website free for all. However, you will be duly acknowledged.
