The students can access the app by sitting anywhere across the state just by downloading the Diksha app from Google Play store or they can download by clicking the link http://bit.ly/KA-diksha.
The students can even access any content of any subject across all the boards by visiting the Diksha app. "There are even question banks, short answers, very short answers, MCQs available on the app which will be beneficial for students during this pandemic as they are preparing for board exams," said a senior official of the department.
