PhysicsWallah extended its test prep lead to 74.2% citation share, with Vedantu posting an all-time high and BYJU's giving back its brief recovery.

The move

PhysicsWallah was named in 74.2% of test prep answers, up 4.2% since the previous edition, and was named first by ChatGPT and Google AI Mode. Gemini named Unacademy first.

Vedantu gained 7.2% to an all-time high. BYJU's slipped 2.3%, undoing the all-time high it reached one edition earlier. New sources included pw.live, unacademy.com, and allen.in.

What it means

Test prep is consolidating into a two-brand category.

PhysicsWallah and Unacademy together account for more than 130% combined citation share, meaning the two appear in the same answers routinely, and the only engine-level question is which of the two leads.

BYJU's giving back its recovery is the more instructive story: a one-edition all-time high that does not hold is noise, not a trend, and it shows how the daily cadence separates a real reversal from a blip.

Vedantu's all-time high arriving alongside pw.live and unacademy.com entering the cited pool suggests the engines are grounding edtech answers more in the brands' own course pages, which rewards the players keeping their catalogues most visible.
