Cite Solutions Research

PhysicsWallah and Unacademy together accounted for 130% combined citation share in test prep today, with BYJU's continuing to fall outside the top three on every engine.

The move

PhysicsWallah was named in 68.7% of test prep answers and Unacademy in 61.3%, with both ranked first or second by every engine. PhysicsWallah was the unanimous engine winner.

Khan Academy was the biggest single-day mover, appearing 5.3% more often than yesterday. BYJU's lost 2% and stayed outside the top three by share. Vedantu added 2.7%.

What it means

Test prep edtech is now functionally a two-brand category in AI search.

PhysicsWallah plus Unacademy combine for 130% citation share, which only happens when both brands appear in the same answer routinely.

BYJU's was the default Indian edtech name in consumer memory for a decade, and the absence of BYJU's from AI recommendations is one of the most consistent stories we have tracked.

Khan Academy's gain is the more interesting move underneath: a global non-profit picking up Indian-context citation share suggests AI engines are pulling free-tier alternatives into competitive answers, which is a structural pressure on the paid-tier players in the long run.
