Mumbai, October 14, 2025: Education company PhysicsWallah (PW) has partnered with the Border Security Force (BSF) to make quality learning opportunities more accessible for the families of BSF personnel. The collaboration is aimed at enabling children and dependents of serving, retired, and martyred personnel to pursue academic goals through structured scholarships and fee waivers.
Under this initiative, dependents of BSF martyrs and personnel who lost their lives in service will receive a complete tuition fee waiver for PW’s online and offline courses. For families of serving and retired BSF members, scholarships of 35% on offline courses and 25% on online programs will be available. The partnership also seeks to ensure transparent verification, with applications jointly reviewed by BSF and PW teams.
Eligible candidates can apply for support across multiple exam preparation programs, including JEE, NEET, UPSC, SSC, Banking, and other competitive tests offered through PW’s digital learning platforms and nationwide network of offline centres.
Alakh Pandey, Educator, Founder and CEO of PhysicsWallah, said, “The Border Security Force represents one of the nation’s strongest symbols of service and duty. During my travels, I had the opportunity to speak with an armed forces personnel who shared how, despite their tireless commitment at the borders, many worry about their children’s education back home. That conversation stayed with me. This initiative is our humble effort to recognise their sacrifice by extending educational support to their families. We believe that learning can be a lasting way to empower their children and honour the legacy of BSF personnel.”
Daljit Singh Chaudhary, Director General of BSF, shared, “BSF has always focused on welfare initiatives that help BSF families move forward with strength and stability. Through our association with PhysicsWallah, we are creating a channel for our children to access quality education and a wide range of digital and classroom resources that can support their academic aspirations.”
Through this collaboration, PW will work towards providing sustained learning pathways that span its diverse academic offerings, ranging from test preparation and skill development to higher education and overseas education programs.
