Sikshya LMS

Sikshya is a free WordPress LMS plugin available on WordPress.org, making it accessible to new course creators and schools with tight budgets. It includes a course builder, quizzes, assignments, and automatic certificate generation, plus Stripe and PayPal payment gateways so you can monetize immediately. Students get a clear dashboard where they track their assignments, quiz scores, and overall progress through each course.

It's ideal for nonprofits, schools, corporate training teams, and independent instructors who want to keep hosting costs low. The plugin avoids vendor lock-in and lets you control everything from your own WordPress dashboard, so there's no risk of losing access to your course content if a service shuts down.
