Our Story

Parikshe began as a heartfelt initiative by the dedicated educators at SIFF Scholars. For over seven years, we’ve been coaching students from under-resourced backgrounds for the Karnataka SSLC Exams. Our commitment has led to remarkable outcomes: an average score of 85% and a 100% pass rate each year. Impressively, over half of our students have received distinctions in their board exams. Now, through Parikshe, this expertise is accessible to every student in Karnataka learning SSLC, PUC and KCET.
