What Annex Institute of Technical Education (Annex Education) does

Annex Institute of Technical Education (Annex Education) is a privately held vocational and technical education provider incorporated in 2011 and headquartered in Hajipur, Bihar, India. The company organizes its operations into two business lines: the Corporate Training Group (CTG), which delivers managed training services to enterprise and institutional clients, and the Skills and Careers Group (SCG), which offers individual learners certificate, diploma, and degree programs spanning IT, management, accounting, hardware and networking, animation, and database administration. The SCG catalog comprises 150+ courses with one-time fees ranging from ₹1,460 to ₹19,500 per program, and has been extended to include university-affiliated degree courses such as MBA, BBA, B.Com, BCA, and MCA.

Annex Education delivers its programs through an online learning platform (built on Drupal) and a franchise-operated network of hundreds of physical study centers. The franchise model has supported broad geographic coverage across Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, New Delhi, and Chhattisgarh, with extension into Nepal as its first cross-border market. The SCG catalog also spans safety management and other adjacent vocational categories beyond core IT training.

The revenue model rests on three streams: individual-learner course fees, franchise licensing and royalty arrangements with center operators, and corporate training engagements under CTG. The company is founder-owned, with no disclosed institutional funding, revenue, headcount, or named enterprise customers. It holds a registered trademark for the Annex Education brand, ISO 9001:2008 certification (January 2015), ISO 9001:2015 certification (March 2018), and MCA recognition (January 2015), which together constitute its formal regulatory and quality baseline.
