Cognasium India, founded in 2022 by Nitiksha Tyagi, emerged from her extensive experience in educational startups. Having organized numerous national-level school tournaments and served as head of curriculum development in other organizations, Nitiksha integrated her passion for mind-stretching practices into the launch of Cognasium. She recognized that true growth happens when there are clear trajectories and objective ways to measure progress. Cognasium sets itself apart by innovating pedagogical tools and launching interactive curricula where we don’t explain as much as we nudge you to make the knowledge flow from you.

MAKE KNOWLEDGE BUILDING AN EXCITING PURSUIT – such that students run to our classes and look forward to them.
OFFER A HIGHLY STRUCTURED CURRICULUM – and course material such that prep kits are sent in advance and this is followed up with detailed weekly feedback reports.
PARENTS CAN MEASURE THEIR CHILD’S PROGRESS – using the quantitative data in the feedback reports and constantly reach out to work on areas of improvements through personalized recommendations.
NEP 2020 – The National Education Policy envisions to expand extracurricular potential at the K12 level and Cognasium collaborates with schools and educational institutions to impart debating lessons and critical skills based on a definitive curriculum.
STATE OF THE ART FACULTY – Professional debating is barely known or taught in India by trained and practicing debaters. We pride ourselves on having a faculty which has extensive experience across formats and tournaments in India and abroad. Our literary clubs are also run by people with degrees in literature and allied subjects from eminent institutions like University of Delhi, Cardiff etc.
ROBUST FEEDBACK MECHANISM – The feedback mechanism at Cognasium for any facility availed is objective and consistent. Feedback reports are divided into qualitative and quantitative sections which are populated with highly personalized feedback every week. Our research writing programs assist you in the development of a paper from scratch and the literary clubs are full of innovative exercises with one day designated for theory and the other for activities.
LEARNER CENTERED PEDAGOGY – We, at Cognasium, believe that the most effective type of learning happens when there are sufficient nudges for the student to think in the right direction. Our curriculum and the decks we use in the classes as a part of it are designed to invigorate thinking and not impart information in an obvious chronology. This excites students and gives them a sense of healthy competition.
PROMISED GROWTH – We do not just train but also actively make arrangements for students to stay updated on upcoming tournaments and aid with participation thereof. We promise success in the sense that your ward surely develops more confidence delivering speeches and is able to effectively do it after a few months. Send us a reluctant child and we will return an avid debater!
