Kerala has introduced a groundbreaking initiative through the Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE), aiming to provide support for over 800,000 students in government and aided schools as they prepare for various undergraduate entrance exams. Titled ‘Key to Entrance,’ this programme was launched by General Education Minister V Sivankutty to enhance learning opportunities for students across the Science, Humanities, and Commerce streams.
New ‘Key to Entrance’ Programme for Kerala Students
The initiative, part of the state’s commitment to quality education, offers students access to a vast array of learning resources, including question papers, assignments, and mock tests. These materials are available via the official portal www.entrance.kite.kerala.gov.in, providing free login access to higher secondary and vocational students from public schools.
Live Classes and Accessible Learning Materials
Starting from September 30, live classes will be broadcast daily on the KITE VICTERS channel and two PM eVidya channels dedicated to Kerala. Students who miss live broadcasts can access the recordings through the KITE YouTube channel, ensuring flexibility in learning.
Subjects covered include Chemistry, Physics, Botany, Zoology, Mathematics, History, Political Science, Business Studies, English, and Geography, with plans to expand into additional areas over time.
Self-Assessment and Continuous Evaluation
Each class within the ‘Key to Entrance’ programme will feature self-assessment opportunities, enabling students to gauge their understanding and track their progress. Continuous evaluations will also be facilitated through online model exams, ensuring students are prepared for their entrance exams.

State-Wide Support and Implementation
To ensure smooth implementation, the Director of General Education (DGE) has instructed all schools to provide the necessary technical infrastructure for students to participate in the programme effectively. KITE’s Chief Executive Officer, K Anvar Sadath, emphasised that this is Kerala’s largest public entrance exam training system, aiming to reach nearly 8 lakh students.
Sadath also noted the success of the previous ‘Crack the Entrance’ course, which saw impressive results for students preparing for Medical and Engineering entrance exams, setting high expectations for the new programme.
