Among the standout achievers is Daksh Tayalia from Bangalore, who secured All India Rank 15, scoring a perfect 120 in Mathematics, and emerging as the Karnataka State Rank 1. Also making the Vedantu family proud is Prakhar Singh from Gorakhpur, who secured AIR 92. From Tamil Nadu, 54 Vedantu Students cleared JEE Advanced 2025.
These achievements are not isolated. Vedantu students have demonstrated strong, consistent performance, with 8 students ranked within the Top 100, 20 within the Top 500 and 83 within the Top 5,000 —reaffirming the success of Vedantu’s personalised, outcome-oriented learning methodology.
Achieving Success Online & Offline
Vedantu’s journey began with a bold vision: to make high-quality, personalised education accessible to every learner online. Over the years, this model has delivered remarkable success — and this year is no different. Many of Vedantu’s top achievers, including Daksh and Prakhar, come from its Long Term Batches, demonstrating the power of consistent mentorship, focused learning, and student-first academic support.
Building on this strong foundation, Vedantu expanded its fully offline Learning Centres (VLCs) across India. These centres combine rigorous academics, structured programs, and deep mentorship in a tech-enabled environment — with the highest personal attention at their core. And in just their first full academic cycle, these VLCs are already delivering impressive results.
Founders Reflect on the Incredible Results
“Seeing our students succeed at this level is both humbling and energising,” said Anand Prakash, Co-founder & Head of Academics at Vedantu. “What makes it even more special is knowing that behind every rank is a story of persistence, belief, and smart, hard work. These outcomes reflect the strength of our model — where personalised support, comprehensive study resources, and genuine mentorship come together to create real impact. Congratulations to all our students and teachers who made this moment possible.”
Vamsi Krishna, Co-founder & CEO of Vedantu, added: “These results are more than just numbers — they’re a reflection of potential unlocked and confidence built over time. Daksh’s Karnataka Rank 1 and AIR 15 are standout moments — but so is the quiet determination of every Vedantu student who faced this challenge head-on. We’ve always believed in delivering the highest personal attention — first online, and now in our Learning Centres. With 35+ VLCs and counting, we’re scaling what matters most: belief, mentorship, and learning that lasts. I couldn’t be prouder of what our students and teams have achieved.”
Chennai, 15 October 2025: A 13-year-old boy from an economically disadvantaged background made a remarkable recovery at Madras Medical Mission (MMM) Hospital, Chennai, after facing life-threatening complications from a chronic heart condition. His condition rapidly worsened, leading to a dramatic drop in heart function, unresponsive blood pressure, kidney failure requiring dialysis, and liver congestion. A heart transplant became the only viable option. With his father working as a driver and unable to afford the high cost, financial support was arranged through MMM’s Social Works Department and a major Trust. Just as doctors considered temporary cardiac support, a donor heart from a young adult became available through TRANSTAN, far sooner than expected. The match was excellent, and the transplant was scheduled immediately. Moments before surgery, the boy suffered cardiac arrest, but was successfully resuscitated, allowing the transplant to proceed. Post-surgery, his kidneys resumed f...
