32. Good Bad
Probably the Most Efficient in India
I have conducted quite a thorough research on my past while looking for a
good site for my nephew's studies. While most websites seem to be offering
really competent content, I was really impressed with how much Meritnation
is providing for its students. The website has a happy feel to it. All the
chapters in the course are so well illustrated and explained. I feel like going
back to school again! It's been a good experience, in all. Thanks to the Team
at Meritnation, if you're reading this!
Bad First Impression
I just took a subscription of 8990, but my computer is showing that I have
subscribed class 8 and 9 online course till APR 2015. And it is showing that
merit nation live for class 10 is till 2016 but it is showing that all inclusive
course for 10 is valid only till 2015. but I am now in 9th and I would need
that course after this time period. Please help me.
Very Good Site & Study Material
I was looking for a good education site for my child . While I came across
meritnation, the experience was wonderful, you get a full Q & A, videos and
interactive materials . I got so many ideas to teach my kid and so I finally
purchased the paid subscription. Till now, I am fully satisfied with thequality
and their customer support.
Education
Well meritnation was good, it was helpful for self-learning and sharing
educational resources but nowadays technology is increasing day by day
coming up with new innovations, learners demand which is convenient to
abstract the learning resource easily. I found one portal known by flinnt
which I think its suits to our generation. May be this video can give us better
overview
Good Online Material & Great Offline Sessions
The offline material I saw at their center was excellent. Prerna at Gurgaon
center helped me go through the process of learning - basically demonstrated
how each topic is assessed and trouble areas are taken care of. The ubuntu
based offline system was impressive. Excellent stuff.
People generally provide reviews when they are pissed off. They assessed my
child and provided me with the assessment and the areas my child needs to
improve on. As a complementary gift they provided me with some tests -
EVS and maths that would help in the upcoming Olympiads. I will definitely
try one of their systems - online or offline one day.
Meritnation Sucks
I had worked with this company and am very upset with this. and my boss
sucks . cold calling and nothing else . I just want to advise u dont waste ur
time in this company. people join this for training period only and after that
they do kick the job. they are hiring on bulk. and people are very upset with
this job
Meritnation is an Awesome Resource to Study Anytime Anyplace.
It has all the study material for my cousin's class 9 Maharashtra Board. In
addition to textual content they have really nice animated videos to explain
concepts & build foundations.They also have sample papers & practice
questions which are very helpful in prepping for exams.
My cousin uses them on his laptop as well as his android phone using their
app. He says Meritnation has replaced his entire bag full of books with one
simple application on the phone:)
Quality is Not Great
I did not find meritnation great. They answer questions but the quality of
answers for higher standards are not up to mark.
They are too simple and the answers given in English or Social Studies are
suitable for lower standards even if it was meant for 11th or 12th. They need
to improve a lot for the amount they charge.

Amazing Customer Service, Website is Pretty Good
I used meritnation only for one year in 12th but my younger brother has been
using it for 2 years. I must say more than anything, it has made our
homework sessions so exciting. That we used to fight over who would use the
lappy! haha!
I usually used it 4 d ncert solutions while my bro sees the videos and
animations for learning. He seems very happy to use a computer to study, I
can say one more thing, I was happy with how quickly I was able to start
using my account, only 1 or 2 calls with the meritnation people was enuf!
Meritnation - Cheating the Parents
I inquired about the Meritnation in World Book Fair 2014 in February for my
son for 11th Standard. Thereafter, I got repeated calls from Meritnmation to
get the subscription as soon as possible.
Every time I got a call, I replied firmly that we are waiting for his 10th results
to come. Still Ms. Priya kept on calling us mentioning the benefits and
discounts being offered. I repeatedly told her that we are not sure if he would
opt for Medical, Non-Medical or Commerce stream.
After an assurance from her that if we register even before the declarations of
the results they would provide the solutions for all the subjects he may
choose. He can at any given point of time may change his stream and
Meritnation will provide the solution for 11 standard.Whereas now, when he
is trying to open Biology it is found to be blocked. Even after repeated calls
to Meritnation executives we are unable to found the solution.
We have been cheated.Now they are asking us to pay extra amount to get the
biology section.
Made Studying So Much More Fun For Me!
I have used meritnation.com for Maths and Science only, but the kind of help
I got from the website impressed me very much.
My friend had told me about this website and that it provides lot of free notes
and stuff, so I went and checked myself. The NCERT solutions I saw were
too good and I became a paid member.
Nowadays, homework, and even revision for exam has become interesting.
Plus I made a lot of chatting friends on the website too. Good fun after a
tiring study session.
There are lots of sample papers, exactly like sample paper books. And the
chapters have audio too, which I prefer for studying.
Beware of Interacting With Meritnat Telemarketers
My son is in the ICSE VIII std, and we had reviewed the site and content.
Have not used the service/product - we stopped before that.
The offer from the marketing guys at Meritnation were content upgrade on
request, if required and Encyclopedia.
But the calls were too frequent and Vikas or someone who had kept asking us
for time kept pressing asking for a confirmation as this is a limited period
offer, as he said.
He began to sound desperate and aggressive and we doubt the orientation and
model of this product. Based on just their promises that it has the capability
and parent professionalism of the Naukri business house.
We looked up Mouthshut and found some similar negative reviews and
experiences and let the marketing person (Sr. educational consultant) know,
and he could only laugh it off.
So here is the review -ask them to take a walk back to Delhi/Noida. There are
surely better people and options available. Despite their silly ads.

My Maths Has Really Improved with Meritnation!!
My maths had always been so-so, but in the last class, my marks
were very low. I had to practice a lot to make my maths better, and
this is where meritnation.com came to my rescue. For maths, and
also some science subjects, meritnation is the best option. Just enter
the site and you will see so many features. there are sample
questions, and online quizzes also. when you have doubts, you can
open the explanation notes as well. The special part is the videos
which have made mylife easier.
Advanced way to study
Long term offers from meritnation -A big NO NO....
Meritnation had called up the day I posted on mouth shut and extended the course till class IX.
I won't say I am a loser for the money I had spent but it ended up as a breach of trust. I did not
request them for any extension to class X although I know it was my right as a customer.
I will be cautious in future.
I had taken a three year course for my daughter(ICSE Class VIII, IX and X) under a offer from
meritnation. It was started in 2013 and was supposed to be valid till 2016 and renewed every
year. When I made the payment I just received a mail that the payment has been received and
your course is active. the duration of validity was not confirmed anywhere.
I had however taken a confirmatory email from the meritnation staff just to ensure that I have a
mail saying clearly that the course was valid for three years and will be valid till 2016.
In 2014 the course automatchandru021y got renewed for class IX but we got transferred and I
requested the change of board to CBSE as my daughter had shifted to CBSE school. That is
when the problem started. First the staff could not activate the course for almost a week when
my daughter was giving a unit tests and then I got a shocker from their staff that the course that
was registered was only valid till class VIII and no further extension was possible. It was also
told first meritnation at best offers only 10-15% discount and nothing more than that.
I sent them the mails clearly showing the offer( 50% discount) and the confirmatory mail from
meritnation staff confirming the three year validity. I even told that the validity in meritnation
system also got renewed to 2015 as well and there seemed to be some error in their
understanding. The counselor also confirmed that what I said was right but the mail was not
from @meritnation.in instead it was sent from the personal account of the meritnation staff and
hence was not valid.
I wrote to the meritnation customer care but instead of going in depth with half an hour received
a mechanical reply just confirming that the course was no longer valid.
I therefore warn all the users to refrain from choosing any promotional event from meritnation
or a long term course as it is likley that their internal systems are not tuned to keep the database
and there is a high probability that it may get cancelled without any prior notice or call from
meritnantion .

The Colorful Pics & Videos Are Good
I have been using Meritnation.com as an additional guide for my son, who is
studying in class 5. There are so many things one can do on this website! The
English part is only grammar, but the Maths and Science subjects notes,
videos are great. Plus, I am happy to be paying what I did as the facilities
received are much more.
Forced to register!
The website forces you to register by providing your email. Further you are
asked to send a missed call to their number so that your mobile number gets
registered with them. And finally when your in, they tell you that you have
toPAY to get the sample worksheets n other stuff!
This is totally unprofessional. Provide the customer with details of your
product/service before you glean information from them. Let the customer
decide if they want to register with you after you have given them all relevant
information (like in this case, that the worksheets are to be paid for).
I hope the website reads this review and does not disturb me on my email or
mobile number.
Besst 4 Homework
If you are looking 4 homework help, go 4 it! Many answers for almost all
Science subjects and found some for SST as well. The videos are interesting
2 see. Good pass time too! Lol! But seriously, meritnation English is very
simple in all answers, so that students dont struggle in understanding what is
written. Thanks Meritnation.com 4 makin everyday studying simple.
Meritnation - Fraudulent
Totally a fraudulent company. I worked in the con company for 12,000 per
month. But at the time of salary collection, they deleted my record and did
not paid me anything. The sales department is totally pathetic consisting of
fake cons. They don't pay extra for stretch timings. 0% growth and the HR
vice president Mansi Battacharya don't shows any power or ethical
responsibility. HR members Ashwarya, Kundan, Ankita, Kunwar all are
culprits. Team incharge Abhiraj Bakshi and Coordinator Churandip don't
show any respect to freshers. They flirt with fresher girls and for fresher
boys, they make fun of them. Smoking in the office. Adverse environment.

Boosts your morale and builds your confidence
Well I have a younger brother in 8th class. he used to score 70% but after
subscribing to it he has improved drastically. now he's getting around 85%.
and I hope till 10th he clears his concepts and top the board examination. I
am very much satisfied with the overall performance of my brother.
Its cool and user friendly website. Plus so many extra add-ons are added in
this like vedic maths and general knowledge.
Questions Answered Well
Hi my name is Varun. I'm student of class 7. I was going through the site
Meritnation, because I wanted sum guidance in Maths subject.
I saw this ask n answer thing and entered it. I was amazed to see so many
questions being answered. Some of them were the very questions that I was
looking for!
Homework jaldi se kar liya.
Much Better Than Other Sites For CBSE
I have gone and checked other websites for my ward’s class 4 course.
Though there are many other sites, on comparing I found out that
Meritnation.com gives most complete answers. I also tried to make my son sit
with me and was happy to see that he was excited to see all the animations.
Also, I find mostly all the topics in my son's course being covered.

have to call another student on that time coworkers will help out.
It’s a sales job so hardest and challenging part was closing the deal.
