Cortex DeskCortex Desk powers educational institutes with state-of-the-art technology: courses, tests, mentoring and payments on one platform, under the institute’s own name.
We bring innovative learning solutions into everyday teaching, so an institute can reach more students and teach each of them better.
Why Cortex Desk
A good institute already knows how to teach. What it rarely has is technology built for the way it teaches.
We work in that gap: giving each institute a platform of its own, with the best of today’s learning technology inside it.

The platform
Timed papers in a proper exam interface, with negative marking, a ranking and a review of every question afterwards.
Students send handwritten answers as photos or a PDF and their mentor marks them. Typed drills are marked point by point against a rubric the faculty wrote.
A student books half an hour with a mentor from the site. Mentors get a desk of their own for calls, requests and answer copies.
Checkout by card, UPI, net banking or wallet, with coupons, receipts and refunds kept in order for the office.
The office manages courses, enrolments, class lists and orders, and sees how each lecture is being watched.
A word from the syllabus to guess each day, a leaderboard and a study streak give students a reason to come back.
How we think
Every institute teaches in its own way. The platform carries its name, its courses and its methods, not ours.
We use the newest technology where it makes teaching or learning better, and leave it out where it does not.
Our tools take routine work off the desk. The teaching, the mentoring and the judgement stay with people.
