# Tuition vs worksheets: what ₹499/month buys

In India, private tuition for CBSE/ICSE students often costs ₹2,000–₹8,000+ per month per subject, while Mingi Starter plan is ₹499/month with up to 60 AI generations including graded worksheets from 20–100 marks. Tuition excels at explanation and doubt-clearing; AI worksheets excel at on-demand practice, instant grading, and topic-level mastery tracking. A hybrid model keeps tuition for hard concepts and uses Mingi for daily weak-topic drills between classes.

## Key facts

- Mingi Starter plan: ₹499/month with 60 AI generations.
- Mingi Pro plan: ₹1,299/month with unlimited generations (fair-use).
- Typical metro tuition: ₹500–₹2,000+ per subject per month.
- Mingi provides instant AI grading with per-question feedback — tuition feedback is weekly at best.
- Mingi complements tuition; it does not replace teacher-led conceptual teaching.
