Platform Use In Universities
Professors from institutions including The University of Texas at Dallas, University of Houston Clear Lake, San Jose State University, Santa Clara University, Troy University in Alabama, and Manipal University in India are using the AI platform for STEM education to create and grade assignments, exams, and projects.
Faculty feedback indicates that the tool supports early assessment of student understanding and reduces grading time. Some professors reported that teaching assistants were able to complete grading tasks more efficiently, allowing them to focus on academic research activities.
Students have reported improved understanding in technical subjects such as VLSI through video analysis and structured explanations provided by the system.
Focus On Academic Support In STEM
Vidya AI states that professors spend an average of 33 hours per week on grading and assessment related tasks, while students typically receive limited office consultation hours each week. The AI platform for STEM education is designed to address these gaps by providing automated grading support and on demand academic assistance.
The founding team has academic and technical backgrounds in electrical engineering and machine learning. Dr Goswami earned a doctorate in electrical engineering from The University of Texas at Dallas and previously worked in semiconductor and machine learning roles before focusing on the company. Dhritiman Talukdar serves as chief technology officer.
Vidya AI is part of the NVIDIA Inception Program and has received cloud credit support from Google, AWS Activate, and ElevenLabs. The company reports that it is working toward integration with Canvas to allow access within existing learning management systems.
The platform is positioned as a support tool for universities seeking to improve assessment efficiency and student access to academic guidance in STEM disciplines.
