Not a formula sheet. Three modules that take you from mental-calculation techniques through the number system and into the divisibility problems aptitude papers lean on.
Quantitative Aptitude Mastery is a structured course designed to build your core mathematical aptitude and your confidence in solving quantitative problems with speed and accuracy. It is written for campus placements and for competitive exams like CAT, GMAT, GRE and government and banking exams - starting from scratch rather than assuming you already have the basics.
Built with both tech and non-tech undergraduate students in mind, it takes a step-by-step approach: simplify complex calculations, strengthen logical problem solving, and apply proven mathematical techniques. You explore Vedic Math for shortcut techniques, master the Number System, and work through practical strategies using LCM, HCF, algebraic identities and divisibility rules.
The shape is consistent across all three modules: video tutorials, reading material, practice quizzes and graded assessments. Conceptual clarity first, then the speed techniques that make it usable under exam conditions.
No prior math expertise is required, and the course is built for tech and non-tech backgrounds alike.
Preparing for on-campus and off-campus placement tests, where a quantitative section is usually the first gate.
Preparing for CAT, GMAT, GRE, SSC and banking exams, where speed matters as much as method.
Building confidence in mathematical and quantitative problem solving, from the basics up.
Strengthening quantitative skills for management or data-related roles that assume a numerical grounding.
These are the four outcomes Coursera lists for the course. Each one maps onto the module that teaches it.
Master shortcut techniques using Vedic Math to perform calculations faster than a calculator: multiplication tables, perfect squares and cubes, powers of 2 and 3, and seven types of one-line multiplication.
Build a rock-solid foundation in Number Systems: classification of numbers, recurring decimals, even and odd patterns, prime and composite numbers, and the divisibility rules behind them.
Apply algebraic identities and formulas to solve aptitude problems quickly and accurately, including the summation formulas for N natural numbers and for their squares.
Strengthen your ability to tackle HCF, LCM and divisibility-based problems - frequent favourites in placement and entrance tests - alongside divisor, quotient and remainder work and factor strategies.
Board Infinity's 1:1 coaching pairs you with an industry coach while you work through the course - someone to take your questions to when a method will not click.

The step you keep getting wrong, explained by someone who has taught it before.
Not just whether the answer is right - whether the approach will hold up under time pressure.
Problem sets chosen for you, then reviewed, so a technique turns into a habit.
Which sections to prioritise for the test you are actually sitting, and in what order.
Two weeks at ten hours a week, fully self-paced. Every module lists its learning objectives, exactly what is inside it, and every lesson with its duration.
This module introduces students to the powerful techniques of Vedic Mathematics, enabling rapid mental calculations, efficient multiplication strategies, and intuitive handling of perfect squares, cubes, and approximations. Learners develop the ability to solve problems with speed and precision, crucial for competitive exams and placement tests.
This module builds a strong conceptual base in number systems by exploring classifications, recurring decimals, even/odd patterns, prime numbers, and divisibility rules. It also reinforces key algebraic identities and summation formulas - foundational tools in any quantitative reasoning toolkit.
In this final module, learners dive deep into the concepts of divisibility, HCF, LCM, and factorization techniques. By mastering these applications, they become better equipped to tackle problems involving ratios, multiples, and remainders - frequent topics in aptitude exams.
Module durations are Coursera's own estimates for each module. The course-level estimate is 2 weeks at 10 hours a week — .
Nothing to install and no textbook to buy. Every module runs on the same four-part format.
Step-by-step explanations, worked on screen. Every method is demonstrated before you are asked to use it.
One per module, for concept clarity - the part you come back to when a technique needs re-reading.
Reinforcement after each topic group, so a method is tested while it is still fresh.
One per module, to evaluate mastery. These are what the certificate is awarded on.
The five skills Coursera lists for this course, grouped the way the work actually splits - the arithmetic you run in your head, the reasoning you apply to it, and the algebra underneath both.
The calculation you can do without reaching for anything.
Reading a question and knowing which method it wants.
The identities and formulas the shortcuts are built on.
Complete the required course work and you earn a shareable certificate, awarded through Coursera - ready for your LinkedIn profile and your CV.
Awarded on completion of the course's certificate requirements, which include the graded quizzes in all three modules.
Coursera adds it straight to your profile, where recruiters actually look.
A credential you can list on your resume alongside your degree.
The certificate is shareable, so anyone you send it to can open it.
Board Infinity as the provider, Coursera as the platform.
These are the places the skills in this course actually get used. None of them are guaranteed by finishing a course - but all of them assume this grounding.
Quantitative aptitude is commonly used in recruitment assessments and placement tests, usually as the first screening round.
The course covers concepts relevant to exams such as CAT, GMAT, GRE, SSC and banking exams.
Quantitative reasoning supports the analytical thinking management-oriented careers are built on.
Strong mathematical foundations support quantitative and analytical work of every kind.
Every topic in this course exists free somewhere on the internet, and plenty of it is taught well. Nobody is pretending otherwise. What a course adds is the order you learn it in, the checking that makes it stick, and something to show at the end.

Four things, in the order the modules build them. You'll master shortcut techniques using Vedic Math to perform calculations faster than a calculator; build a rock-solid foundation in Number Systems, including classification, primes, divisibility and factors; apply algebraic identities and formulas to solve aptitude problems quickly and accurately; and strengthen your ability to tackle HCF, LCM and divisibility-based problems, which are frequent favourites in placement and entrance tests. That's 3 modules, 41 video lessons, 3 readings and 11 assignments.
College students preparing for on-campus and off-campus placement tests; aspirants preparing for CAT, GMAT, GRE, SSC and banking exams; non-tech students who want to improve their confidence in mathematics; and professionals aiming to strengthen quantitative skills for management or data roles. It is built with both tech and non-tech undergraduate students in mind.
No. The course is beginner-friendly and no prior math expertise is required. It takes a step-by-step approach from the basics - module one starts with why Vedic Math is useful and multiplication tables, not with an assumed background.
It is tailored for campus placement tests and for competitive exams including CAT, GMAT, GRE, SSC and banking exams. To be clear about what that means: the course covers concepts relevant to those exams. It is an independent educational resource created by Board Infinity and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any of those exam bodies, and no course can guarantee a score or a seat.
Coursera's guidance is 2 weeks at approximately 10 hours a week. The schedule is flexible and you learn at your own pace, so evenings and weekends will stretch it out, and that's fine. The individual module estimates Coursera shows are 8 hours, 6 hours and 4 hours.
3 modules and 11 assignments - 8 practice quizzes for reinforcement and 3 graded assessments, one closing each module. Alongside those there are 41 video lessons, 3 readings and 1 plugin (a short course check-in in module one).
