Introducing the Varsity mobile app
Traders and Investors,
Education and sharing knowledge has always been at the forefront of everything we do at Zerodha. Over the years, we have done this relentlessly via various channels and formats – Varsity, Webinars, TradingQnA, Z-Connect itself, and through partner platforms such as LearnApp.
We are now pushing ourselves to take this effort to a whole new level.
After 14 months of painstaking efforts, we are finally happy to announce the launch of ‘Varsity Mobile App’. Zerodha Varsity, as you may know, is our flagship educational initiative, which provides you with highly structured and detailed notes about literally everything you need to know about trading and investing. This is available online and is free to access for all. We now have a mobile avatar of Zerodha Varsity, which retains the goodness of the rich content of the Varsity web version plus introduces several features which enhances your learning experience.
We are launching the Varsity app with two modules – ‘Introduction to stock markets’ and ‘Technical Analysis’, but over time we will add all the other modules as well. Here is a list of features that we think are really cool –
Content
Choose a difficulty level to start learning. Each difficulty level has several chapters with bite-size cards for the ease of learning.
All the content is neatly organized to ensure continuity in learning.
Goals and Streaks
Streaks help you figure out the consecutive number of days you’ve managed to hit your daily goals. Your objective should be to maximize your streaks.
Quiz
Make sure to give your best attempt at the very first shot. Subsequent quiz attempts will reduce the points scored per question, so it is in your best interest to give your best shot at your first attempt.
Certification
Besides, the certification quiz is timed and it is in your advantage to finish the certification quiz in one go. Good luck! 🙂
The Wall
Make sure you regularly check for updates on the Wall. Who knows – you may find your next trade or investment idea! 🙂
Themes
Switch to a theme you like. You can play around with the font size too.
And there are plenty of other features, which we are sure you’d appreciate. The app is available on both Google play store and the App Store for iOS.
Download the app on Google Play store, please share your reviews, Don’t forget to rate the app, hopefully with 5 stars! 🙂
Happy learning!
Hi Team,
Thank you for introducing Varsity. It is a great app to learn about the Capital markets. I had completed my certification exam and when I clicked on submit the app showed a dialogue box that it could not submit and asked me to try later. Now when I try to open the Certification exam, it is showing me a blank screen. I can’t see any button to submit nor to start the test. I did not even see the answers of the exam. Please help resolve the issue.
Thank you.
Hi Shashank, could you please provide details like Varsity app version, mobile OS version and model? We’ll have this checked.
Hi, I used the same email id to login, have completed the stock markets basics course but the app keeps crashing when i want to share the certificate. using iOS. Please fix.
Thanks.
Dear zerodha team,
Kudos to building amazing app with teaches about investing in such simplified manner. I am on personal finance chapter, don’t know if this will be covered or not in next chapters. But still want this to put out.
I do have one request which is one chapter or note guiding how to invest lumpsum amount (20 to 30 lakhs) for a long term. Been trying to churn some answer on internet but not able to find anything.
While going through varsity quiz I have a query on a question.
Q-At 11:30 AM, the trader shorts ICICI Bank futures at 383, the stock closes at 379 for the day and opens at 385 the next day. What is his M2M P&L?
App shows this, A profit of Rs.4/-, as a correct answer
But
Day 1 383-379 = 4 profit
Day 2 379-385= 6 loss
Loss of 2?
Im facing an issue while getting my certification of technical analysis course. I have completed all the 3 modules now i want to appear for the final quiz that is for certification but i am unable to get in the quiz, its showing me write the name that i want to publish on my certificate but its not working after that. Plz help me in this case
Hey Umar, you’ll have to use a name that is similar to the registered email ID. Could you please retry? If you still aren’t able to attempt the quiz please share the email ID and we’ll have it checked.
It would be really helpful for me. I am searching these kinds of learning material. Somewhere I found but that cost is 10,000 rupees. For those will prove milestone whose have no money.
I want to give you a big thank for which one have give this idea and proof that.
Thanks and regards

Didn’t received a certificate?
कृपया इसे हिंदी भाषा में भी उपलब्ध कराये
The quiz is changing my answers. Even in the certification quiz. I marked all the answers right but randomly 2-3 answers get changed. Maybe a bug. Must look into it.
Hmmm… That seems unlikely. Can you please share more details?
I already cleared the Stock market basics module but not able to where to get the certificate from. Can anyone guide?
I have seen that when there’s a breakout in options chart (ITM) there’s always a breakout in the index and Sometimes (Not always) When index gives breakout there’s no breakout in the option chart(ITM)?
Why?
What I’m saying is that even true?
4th December -Time frame 5Min- 2:50pm (Was a breakout in banknifty dec fut) but Option Banknifty 30000ce gave it’s Breakout on 2:55pm.
Why so?
Firstly thanks for such platform and easy learning

How to intepret Central Pivot point
Actually, I failed the exam on the varsity app 3 times.
So, can I ever again give the exam?
Hello, is the amount and quality of content we get from the app same as that on the website? After reading the 1st module, I think the size has been reduced. Just need to know whether I’ll miss out on anything if I use the app?
Hey how can i apply for the certification program.
There is no application, simply install the app and get started.
Hi,
Many thanks for the free app and material to learn about the market.
I was reading Fundamental Analysis and after giving quiz i have encountered this question “the two parameters required to calculate EPS of a company” my answer was ‘PAT and number of outstanding shares’ and app shows ‘PBT and number of outstanding shares’.
Whereas i read on the cards that Dividing the total profit after number by the outstanding number of shares.
Now, please tell me what is the currect answer ?
I am Using Zerodha Pi
I am interested in studying the Risk Reward Ratio, while analysing the charts
Kindly suggest where & how to study Risk Reward Ratio

Hey Sameer, if you click on the “show answers” option for the certification test, you can’t attempt it again.
Thank you for great learning. I am trading for a couple of decades but your advanced options chapter is very useful.
I am just wondering how to get my certificates as I have passed all the quizzes with flying colors.
And are they of any use afterwards
Kudos on releasing the iOS app!
Few issues I am facing (on iOS) are :
1. whichever post/expert opinion I am bookmarking is not being shown under the bookmarking tab.
2. The back button seems to be very small, so sometimes it doesn’t work as expected.
Other than that, I am enjoying the app!
Thank you
When will the iOS version for this app be released?
Currently testing the iOS app.
Please provide bracket order in commodity
When can we expect IOS VERSION?
Why there is no sign of Zerodha varsity iPad iOS?
Working on the iOS version of the app. We’ll publish it in some time.
Dear sir
i want a clarification reagding STT charged by zerodha .
as per my state- Uttar Pradesh it should be 0.002% but it is charged at much higher rate.
Stamp duty for UP is 0.002%. STT is the same for all traders. You can check out the rates here.
Sir thank you for providing app. I am thankful for this. But sir can you tell me the benefit of Certificate which will you provide after passing quiz ??

Launch date for iPad?
We’re working in an iOS app. Can’t comment on a launch date though.
Great initiative but could you quote any dates on iOS app launch
We are working on the app, can’t comment on a release date though.
Hi Karthik
First of all big thanks to you & your team for putting such a nice effort to launch this varsity app which encompasses nitty gritty of the capital market in best consized manner possible. Kudos.
Having said that , module 3 on fundamental analysis is still not available on the app… Kindly upload the same ASAP.
Regards
Debdutta Bhunia
Refactoring the content to fit the app takes some time. More modules should be up in a couple of weeks.
Hope to see them soon.
Also, please guide how to place order for shorting a stock and where to look for if you want to deal in Futures.
Regards,
Sunil

Simply place a sell order for the stock you want to short. For Futures, simply add the Futures scrip to your market watch and place orders.

Is Zerodha Varsity app is abailable on ios ??
I feel that zerodha should start separate app like Coin for Govt Bonds & T bills.
The idea is to make Coin the go-to app for all longterm investments other than stocks.
Please connect!!
Good app and good initiative.May I know when we will get IOS version.
I can’t understand that why you are cut your brokarege two time,
Please. Explain mi,
Rest all service is best,
Thanks.
Hey Mahesh. best create a ticket on our Support Portal for this.
Great going Zerodha!!!! Thank you very much……
Dear sir,
your brokarage is very high sir showing 0.01% and taking 100% my benefits.
Today i trade with BO ORDER and win 599/- but app showing brokarage for trade is 677/-
Is this doing froad with customer.
Please check my account for brokarage.
You’ve placed nearly 600 orders, and you were charged Rs. 68.21 as brokerage for them. I think there’s an error in your calculations here. Please check your contract note.
Team ZERODHA,
You are really a great.

An investment in knowledge always pays the best returns – Thanks Varsity

Working on it. Should be out soon.
I am beginner to stock trading and I hope this APP will help me to learn and understand about stock market, technical analysis and investing in all segments. Thanks to Zerodha for launching this learning platform in mobile APP.
Lots of thanks and Congrats for achieving another milestone
Thanks to Karthik and Zerodha team for bringing it to the app. It would be an amazing source of learning for beginners.
Zerodha is best , please don’t change the way you are.
Very helpful app for learning .
Kudos to Zerodha for their efforts towards investor education.
You stand out. Salutes to Zerodha
Any plan for lauching it on IOS.
Hi Karthik, and Nithin…. Congratulations to both of you on this new milestone. Zerodha rocks !!
Karthik & Team,
You folks rock! – seriously. The passion and zeal with which you have built the community over years – giving baby hand holding lessons to providing computational excel sheets for people to use… trust me – your legacy is now bigger than you all can fathom. I am a living example of how I have benefitted immensely from the forums, the old message boards, meticulously drafted chapters on topics people were not sure where to look for…
I am firmly of the belief that – you die the day you stop learning – this app will empower a lot of others to seek, to understand , and more importantly to test the waters (hopefully without meeting a shark)
I can go on… but Kudos to you for the passion with purpose.
Do what is necessary… Do what is possible – and Soon… You will do the Impossible.
Cheers!
thank sir , i am waiting for very long time.
