Capabilities
What Compass does
-
Grades the answer the way an examiner would
Compass coaches terminology, structure and exam framing, so a student learns to write the answer that earns the marks, not only to know the fact.
-
A mastery profile per concept
Every answer updates the student's mastery for the concepts it touched. Gaps surface early, across subjects, and stay visible until they close.
-
Practice generated from the gaps
Instead of the same worksheet for the whole class, each student gets practice built from what their own profile says they are missing.
-
Your question bank stays yours
Each institute authors and tags its own questions on a shared concept taxonomy. Isolation is enforced in the data layer, not only on the screen.
-
Consent and guardians, by design
Parents are linked to students through Garuda Identity, with parental consent handled to DPDP requirements before a minor's data is processed.
Two ways to buy
Institutes subscribe to Compass for their students and tutors, with their own question bank, taxonomy extensions and reporting. Families can buy directly under the Garuda Northstar brand, and a student subscribed to more than one institute keeps a single mastery profile across them for shared concepts.
Assessment that understands handwriting
Most of the work students do is on paper. Compass accepts a photo of a handwritten answer, reads it, and evaluates it against the same rubric as a typed answer, so the tool fits the way exams are actually taken.
Determinism where it matters
AI grading is fail-closed: when the model cannot evaluate an answer to the rubric, the answer is queued for a tutor rather than scored by guesswork.
Where Compass sits
Every Garuda product shares one identity and one engineering foundation. The lit edges are Compass's.
