What is Unacademy?

Unacademy is a Bengaluru-based online learning platform, run by Sorting Hat Technologies Pvt Ltd, focused on Indian competitive exams. It covers 200+ exams across 60+ categories, including UPSC CSE, IIT JEE, NEET UG, banking, SSC, CAT, CA and CBSE Class 12. The company says it has more than 10 crore learners, 14,000+ educators and about 1,500 live classes a day.

It is a consumer learning product rather than business software. Students join free and can watch some content, but structured batches, full live classes, mock tests and notes sit behind a paid subscription bought per exam goal. Live classes include chat, doubts and polls with the educator, and recorded lessons are available afterwards.

Unacademy does not show subscription prices on its homepage; prices vary by exam goal and duration and are shown at checkout after you pick a goal. Older third-party reports describe Plus and higher Iconic tiers, but we could not confirm current rupee prices on Unacademy's own pages, so compare the live checkout price against competitors such as Physics Wallah before paying.

What works well

+Very wide exam coverage, from UPSC and JEE to CA and state engineering exams
+Daily live classes with chat, polls and doubt clearing
+Large educator pool, 14,000+ according to Unacademy
+Free sign-up with some free lessons to test teaching style
+Learner app on Android and iOS, plus a parent app on Google Play

What to watch out for

−Prices are not shown until you choose an exam goal, which makes comparison harder
−Subscriptions are per goal, so preparing for two exams can mean two purchases
−Live-class quality depends heavily on the individual educator
−Self-paced online learning needs discipline that some students lack without a centre
−Not a course-hosting platform for coaching institutes or creators to sell their own courses

Best suited for: Students preparing for UPSC, JEE, NEET, banking, SSC or CAT · Learners in smaller towns without access to good coaching centres · Working aspirants who need recorded classes after live sessions
