Systematic Learning & Assessment

Samskrita Bharati uses a well-established, multi-level system to guide students and accurately assess their knowledge.

The Learning Process

Our system ensures success by following three clear steps:

  1. Syllabus: We define a clear learning path for each level.
  2. Study Material: We provide materials that directly follow the syllabus.
  3. Exams: We conduct exams to assess proficiency based on the material and syllabus.

Systematic Levels of Study

Students progress systematically through five established levels. We’ve included an introductory level to ensure a strong foundation in script and pronunciation:

Level Purpose
Pallavam (Pre-Pravesha) Foundational introduction to script and pronunciation.
Pravesha First core level.
Parichaya Second core level.
Shiksha Third core level.
Kovida Final, advanced level.

These levels must be pursued in succession.

Support for Each Level

For every level of study, Samskrita Bharati USA provides:

  1. Guided Self-Study: A program designed to help students understand the material and practice for proficiency.
    • Note: This program is currently optional but will become mandatory to ensure student success.
    • For Children (18 and under): Balapathashala
    • For Adults (over 18): Praudhapathashala
  2. Proficiency Exam: A formal test to certify the student’s mastery of the level.
