Topper will initially cover Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
A curriculum based TV channel, ‘Topper’ has been launched by Greycells 18 Media as part of its Topper integrated learning system. This TV channel will initially cater to Class Nine to Plus Two students and provide validated curriculum based content that will comply with CBSE and other related state boards. Topper will initially cover Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
‘Topper’ being launched in English, will be accessible to viewers through digital television and internet. ‘Topper’ initially will be a free-to-preview 24 hours television channel available on DTH platforms like Tata Sky and Dish TV. It can be viewed on channel 570 on Tata Sky and on channel 097 on Dish TV respectively.
The channel will telecast six fresh episodes daily, with four episodes based on the regular course and two episodes on the exam specials (pertaining to the upcoming board exams). For students’ convenience all fresh episodes, will have with four repeat telecasts over the week to allow them to catch up on what they may have missed. The modules complement existing tools of traditional classroom teaching and have the technological muscle to deal with concepts that are difficult to explain theoretically. Further, the unique problem solving style, along with useful examination tips which are also discussed, give the ‘Topper’ watcher a clear edge.
Sunil Khanna, Co-founder Greycells18 says, “We are happy to announce the launch of the first curriculum based learning system. Statistics show that there are approximately 300 million kids who enrolled in schools across India. With limited seats available in colleges and premium professional courses, it is imperative to have a strong primary and secondary education background. Thus there is a significant opportunity to supplement the existing school system for children to make the best of their secondary education. We hope Topper will provide a major impetus to the current education system. ”
Topper TV is part of the Topper Integrated Learning System which deploys technologies such as digital video, text and data. Interactive content of TILS on the DTH platforms, is through means such as Daily Quiz, Topic Tips and study pages.
