As per Shiksha poll, 52% of respondents voted that they relied on YouTube for study materials and exam guidance, which shows a clear indication of candidates' growing dependency and over-reliance on digital resources.
Apart from YouTube tutorials, the poll included four major preparation methods. Here’s a breakdown of what students responded:
- YouTube Tutorials – 52%
- Self Study – 30%
- Group Study with Friends – 15%

This poll result showcases a significant shift from traditional classroom or coaching-based learning to self-paced, online study formats.
We believe that online studying has benefited students as it is affordable, easy to access, and flexible.

This shows how future exam preparation strategies will be formulated, both by students and educators, with online platforms playing an important role.
