KITE rolls out AI-integrated entrance training programme for higher secondary and VHSE students

Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE), the technology wing of the General Education department, has launched the latest phase of its ‘Key to entrance’ special training programme, now integrated with artificial intelligence (AI), for higher secondary and vocational higher secondary education (VHSE) students in the State’s public schools.

The initiative will assist 8 lakh students across Science, Commerce, and Humanities streams as they appear for competitive examinations, including KEAM, NEET, CUET, CA Foundation, and PSCs.

This marks the first time a State government is providing free entrance coaching for students of all streams by leveraging AI technology, KITE chief executive officer K. Anvar Sadath said in a statement on Thursday (February 12, 2026).

Personalised study plans

Since practical experience is vital for competitive exams, extensive mock tests have been arranged on the portal for self-practice.

Mr. Sadath said the AI system implemented this year through KITE’s ‘Samagra AI Learning Room’ generates personalised study plans based on each student’s learning pace and exam performance.

The system analyses the progress of every test taken by a student and provides question sets across three levels – Beginner, Intermediate, and Excellent – tailored to the student’s specific aptitude. In addition to the AI-driven features, over 20,000 questions verified by expert teachers are available on the portal.

Training for subjects including Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Botany, Zoology, Economics, Accountancy, Business Studies, and Political Science is available on the portal starting Thursday.

The second phase, beginning on February 25, will include training in English, reasoning, and general awareness. Schools have been directed to disseminate information about the training at all levels, including school PTAs, to ensure that all students can participate in it.

Students of Classes XI and XII can access these services via the portal www.entrance.kite.kerala.gov.in using login details provided by their schools. The student’s higher secondary or vocational higher secondary application number serves as the User ID, which is already available on the portal.

Principals or nodal teachers will generate passwords accordingly. Detailed user guides and video tutorials are also provided on the portal.

In addition to the classes aired on the KITE Victers channel, students can watch the sessions anytime through the entrance portal and the KITE Victers YouTube channel (youtube.com/itsvicters).

School Principals have been instructed to provide necessary facilities within schools for students who lack personal digital devices or internet access. For further technical assistance, the respective district offices of KITE may be contacted.
