Professor Vaidehi Dongare has completed B.Sc in Geology from Sinhgad College Of Science, Pune and M.Sc. in Geology from Ferguson College Of Science, Pune. She has even published engineering geology book prakshan and one research paper for the topic- “Ground water investigation by electrical resistivity method,” in international journal. With four years of experience of teaching engineering students, she encourages her students by providing proper guidance for their better development to make them future ready. She believes that the whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards; curiosity itself can be vivid and wholesome only in proportion as the mind is contented and happy. Benevolence alone will not make a teacher, nor will learning alone do it. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. Good teaching must be slow enough, so that it is not confusing, and fast enough, so that it is not boring. In an effective classroom, students should not only know what they are doing, they should also know why and how.

Thank you Ekeeeda for providing all the academic courses at such a low price during the Covid-19 pandemic. All the courses are well organized and cover the content perfectly as per the syllabus. Even professional courses included in this app are great and industry oriented. All the academic and professional courses are at the same place which makes learning rather easy and quick. Thanks Ekeeda!
Ekeeda is the best learning platform for engineering students. It provides recorded as well as live lectures to clear your doubts on favourite subjects in the best qualities. It is the most useful app for engineering students and I would like to recommend Ekeeda for all the students. Please download this app at least once on your smartphones. I use the app for the purpose of learning and its very helpful for me.
I was worried about my semesters as there is a lockdown and most online lectures are very complex. Also, Coaching is too expensive with Rs 7000 per subject. So I googled for free online engineering subjects and found the Ekeeda app. I installed it & got 1000 study coins. I took Engg Maths 3 with it and started watching the video. I found it very easy as the teachers had special teaching techniques. All the subjects are affordable & best quality. I got all of them and I'm very happy. I can say engineering is easy, sirf right guidance chahiye. Thanks, Ekeeda!
