Narayana Schools’ AI-Powered Learning Tools: Revolutionising Student Progress and Personalised Support

In today’s dynamic world of education, where every child’s learning journey demands both precision and flexibility, tools that integrate artificial intelligence in education with deeply personalised support can transform outcomes. The nLearn application, ASTRA (Advanced Student Tutoring & Resource Assistant) and AutoGrade at Narayana Schools embody this vision. These are carefully engineered innovations designed to deliver personalised learning, instant doubt resolution and measurable academic growth.

nLearn: Online Self-Learning App
nLearn is Narayana’s flagship educational application, bringing together animated video lessons, concept cards, question banks, mock tests and performance analytics. The platform allows students to revise and practise at their own pace while providing parents with data-driven insights into speed, accuracy and ranking. This ensures targeted support rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, reducing learning gaps and boosting confidence.

ASTRA: AI-Powered Personalised Doubt Solving
ASTRA (Advanced Student Tutoring & Resource Assistant) is Narayana’s AI-powered learning tool for instant doubt clarification. Integrated into nLearn, ASTRA provides answers across subjects in seconds and even maintains a repository of peer queries for revision. Its biggest strength lies in being trained on Narayana’s own curriculum, ensuring every response aligns with classroom learning. With a 91% satisfaction rate among students, ASTRA is revolutionising concept clarity and saving valuable study time.

By adopting Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) frameworks, ASTRA goes beyond generic AI responses by pulling answers directly from curated school content. This means students receive reliable and context-specific explanations that perfectly match their syllabus, reducing confusion, strengthening concept clarity and saving time that would otherwise be spent verifying answers from scattered sources.

AutoGrade: Transforming Answer Evaluation with AI
While multiple-choice tests are easy to grade, descriptive answers have always posed challenges for both students and teachers. Students often miss out on timely feedback and teachers face heavy evaluation loads. Narayana’s AutoGrade system solves this problem through AI-powered descriptive answer evaluation.

With AutoGrade:

• Teachers can review hundreds of handwritten answer sheets in minutes.
• Students receive detailed and personalised feedback on conceptual understanding, structure, clarity and accuracy.
• Subject-specific nuances are supported, from formulas in Physics to diagrams in Biology and comprehension in English.
• Educators remain in control, with the ability to override and refine AI-generated suggestions, ensuring accuracy while also helping the system learn.
• Evaluation time and teacher workload are drastically reduced.
• Most importantly, students can practise answer writing more frequently and receive instant insights, preparing them for board exams with confidence.
• AutoGrade also tracks performance subject-wise, topic-wise and individually, enabling teachers to identify learning gaps and provide targeted mentoring.
• For students, this means timely intervention and personalised guidance, ensuring stronger conceptual mastery and consistent progress.

Intensive real-world testing has demonstrated that AutoGrade achieves both accuracy and scalability, setting a new benchmark in AI-powered education. This AI is designed to empower, assist and never to replace or dictate.

Building with Purpose: Innovation That Matters
At Narayana Schools, innovation has never been about chasing trends. From smart classrooms to digital platforms for parents, every advancement has been about impact. Educational research consistently highlights the importance of timely and specific feedback (Hattie & Timperley, 2007) in boosting student achievement. By combining nLearn, ASTRA and AutoGrade, Narayana ensures that students not only learn but also reflect, correct and grow. Parents, meanwhile, gain clarity into their child’s progress, and teachers find relief from administrative overload, allowing them to focus on meaningful mentoring.

The integration of AI in schools represents a commitment to helping students realise their aspirations with greater clarity, confidence and support and not just technological progress. By embedding tools that are practical, purposeful and aligned with student needs, we are reimagining education not just for today but for the future. Every innovation is built with one goal in mind and that is to turn dreams into achievements, because at Narayana Schools, your dreams are our dreams.
