Within this short period, NIIT.tv has also registered one of the highest customer engagement on the site, as compared to its Indian and International counterparts. The recent launch of Free CBSE Board Exam preparatory live classes for X and XII standard students have been highly appreciated by the users.

Speaking on this occasion, Udai Singh, Chief Strategy Office NIIT Ltd, said, “We launched NIIT.tv with an aim to make available cutting-edge skill based training to every digitally connected citizen of India, by removing the four constraints of time, space, language and money. Through this partnership with Tutorialspoint.com, we hope to provide our users with more options and content thus providing high quality training material to every digitally connected Indian for free.”
NIIT.tv is aligned to the Digital India and Skill India campaigns announced by Hon’ble Prime Minister, Mr. Narender Modi earlier this year. The initiative, which was launched on October 6, 2015, seeks to offer very scalable yet a highly economical model, thereby enabling much faster achievement of Skill India goals.

Students accessing NIIT.tv will be able to access a rich bouquet of high quality, value-added services from NIIT centres in future, e.g. training, professional certification, career counselling, and placement services.
