AdaptIQ : NCERT-Aligned AI Learning Platform for Indian Students

AdaptIQ V2 demonstrates that a NCERT-native, AI-driven adaptive learning platform is technically feasible using modern open-source tooling. By anchoring every interaction — question selection, daily plan, AI explanation — to a specific chapter and page in the actual NCERT textbook, AdaptIQ V2 creates a study experience genuinely relevant to a student’s board examination requirements. The integration of IRT 2PL ability tracking, SM-2 spaced repetition, and RAG-powered AI tutoring into a single bilingual platform represents the first of its kind for the Indian school education segment. The system is deployed using Supabase Cloud, OpenRouter, and Vercel/Railway — a fully managed, horizontally scalable stack accessible to any student with a web browser. Future work includes expanding the curriculum to Classes 6–7 and Classes 11–12 (JEE/NEET founda-tion), enabling full pgvector semantic retrieval across all NCERT pages, building parent/teacher dashboards, and implementing a board exam simulation mode with CBSE marking scheme awareness.
