About Clear Concepts
What is Clear Concepts?
Clear Concepts is an online coaching platform for tutors and coaching institutes in India. It gives you your own branded academy website where you sell courses and test series, run timed mock tests with negative marking, manage batches and take payments by UPI, cards or netbanking.
Who is Clear Concepts for?
Independent tutors, coaching institutes and test-series creators who want to teach and sell online under their own name. It suits competitive-exam preparation such as JEE, NEET, UPSC, SSC and banking, as well as school tuition and skill courses.
Do I need technical skills to set up my academy?
No. You create courses, upload videos and write questions from the tutor dashboard; your academy website is ready on a free subdomain as soon as you sign up. Connecting your own domain takes one DNS record.
Is there a mobile app?
Not yet. Your academy works in any mobile browser, so learners can watch lessons and take tests on their phones today. Dedicated Android and iOS apps are on the roadmap.
Teaching and courses
Can I teach live classes?
You can hold one-to-one video coaching sessions, booked from a calendar, on the Pro and Scale plans. Group live classes are on the roadmap; until then, recorded lessons with drip scheduling and batches cover most courses.
Can I release lessons on a schedule?
Yes. Each lesson can unlock on a fixed date or a number of days after a learner’s batch starts or they enrol. Locked lessons show learners when they will open, and preview lessons are always open.
Can I give certificates to students?
Yes. A certificate is issued automatically when a learner passes the course’s final test. Each one has a public verification page, so employers or parents can confirm it is genuine, and you can revoke it if needed.
How do I bring my existing students over?
Upload a CSV file of email addresses. Learners who already study with you are enrolled directly; new learners get an account and an email to set their password. Anyone else receives an invitation to accept.
Mock tests and test series
Can I create a test series with negative marking?
Yes. Timed exams can have sections, each with its own time guidance and negative marks per wrong answer. Bundle several tests as a test series and sell it, or charge per attempt for premium mock exams.
Do all students get the same question paper?
Only if you want them to. With a question bank, every sitting draws its own random paper, which discourages sharing answers. The paper a learner sat is frozen, so grading and review always match what they saw.
What results do students see after a test?
Their score, percentile against everyone who took the test, section-wise performance and their rank on a leaderboard where other learners’ emails are masked. You decide whether and when solutions and explanations are shown.
Payments and pricing
How do my students pay?
Through Razorpay, with UPI, debit and credit cards or netbanking. Access to the course or test series is granted as soon as the payment is captured, and every order is recorded for your accounts.
Can I offer discounts?
Yes. Create coupon codes for a percentage or flat amount off, limited to one product, a date range or a number of uses. Each learner can use a coupon once.
Can I record cash or bank-transfer payments?
Yes. Grant a product to a learner by hand when they paid offline; the grant is recorded alongside online orders.
Your brand and team
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Every academy gets a free yourname.clearconcepts.app address. To use your own domain, add a CNAME record and a TXT record for verification; learners then see only your domain.
Can my teachers and staff log in?
Yes, on the Pro and Scale plans. Staff accounts manage your courses, tests and learners on your behalf, while billing, domains and staff management stay with the owner.
