Preparing for JEE and NEET with SpeEdLabs: A leap forward to success
Exam fever is common among students of all ages and grades, especially when it comes to career-building, tough competitive exams such as JEE and NEET. The fear of facing unknown and out-of-syllabus questions is something that leaves most aspirants of IITs, NITs (for engineering) and AIIMs (for medical) pretty much terrified.
Now imagine an exam that doesn’t feel like an exam. What if there are no marks involved and no anticipation of report cards? Instead, there are lucrative rewards and performance assessment reports at the end, and the whole thing feels like a game. To top it all off, it facilitates healthy competition, makes one agile, boosts confidence as well as improves knowledge base in specific subjects such as mathematics and science. In one word, it prepares you for high pressure exam situations in a fun and interesting way. Yes, we are talking about Olympiads here. Take for example the Hindustan Olympiad which is back with its 8th edition. One of the largest national level Olympiads in India scheduled for March, Hindustan Olympiad 2023 has SpeEdLabs as its knowledge and powered-by partner.
SpeEdLabs is an adaptive, personalised and engaging learning platform that combines technology with education. It helps students get a head start in preparations for competitive exams like JEE and NEET, that is from the school level itself, just like Olympiads do. In fact, to make this possible, SpeEdLabs has its own Learning App and other exam preparation resources such as Foundation Classes and Hybrid Learning Centre to enable students start off their JEE and NEET journey much ahead of the rest.
Why prepare in advance?
Preparing in advance offers an early insight into the world of future competitive examinations and boosts performance at schools. It also helps students understand that school exams and competitive exams are altogether different ball games and so are their preparations.
In addition, early exposure enables students to grasp concepts better and understand their real-life applications properly and take a lead in their career. In fact, those who do not get such exposure at an early stage often find themselves out of race. It becomes hard for them to match with their peers who are involved in early coaching.
Moreover, there are many students from small towns who have no guidance or exposure at the school level and eventually move to Kota, Delhi, Kanpur, Indore, Jaipur or other bigger cities to join a reputed coaching class during their high school days. Unfortunately, most of them find it extremely difficult to cope with the advanced stage of studies due to insufficient exposure to concept and analytical learning at the school level. As a result, they do not succeed further. Some even succumb to the study pressure and the level of competition as they have never gone beyond the school syllabus. This happens because in most cases proper coaching centres are unavailable in their hometowns. This is where online coaching centres such as SpeEdLabs’ Learning App and Hybrid Learning Centre come into play. They ensure not only good performance in school exams but also provide sufficient exposure in advance to succeed in competitive exams like JEE and NEET.
In the current scenario, less than 15 per cent of aspirants get such exposure to become future ready, courtesy, lack of qualified and experienced mentors and guidance. So, the aim is to offer them ready access to senior faculty who are qualified enough to guide them towards competitive exams through right study pattern and analysis. It also means giving such students the chance to maximise their time for upcoming career building exams.
Some of the fringe benefits of preparing long ahead of JEE and NEET include developing enhanced problem-solving ability, critical/ logical thinking, and improving overall aptitude. It also reduces added pressure during high school and lays a solid foundation overall. Above all, it gives a detailed idea about the kind of competition around and prepares for what awaits through non-stop practice and periodic mock tests.
With massive changes going on in the field of education in these unprecedented times, SpeEdLabs ensures that it infuses technology with learning to offer students the ideal platform(s) to study, practise and test themselves ahead of career-building competitive exams such as JEE and NEET. This also gives them a strong foundation to excel in future competitive exams widening their chance of making it to the top medical, engineering and similar educational institutes in the country.
SpeEdLabs Foundation Classes
SpeEdLabs offers Foundation Classes for students of grades 6 to 10 who want to take a lead in their JEE and NEET preparation journey. It is mainly designed for those who stay in small towns and do not get early exposure or access to subject and industry experts such as seasoned IITans and NITans.
SpeEdLabs Foundation Classes are meant to build a strong foundation for their careers from a younger age, giving them exposure to concept and analysis-driven (step-by-step) learning in the hands of qualified and experienced faculty, which their schools do not provide.
In fact, these foundation courses are often synced with the comprehensive curriculum of schools as well as that of Olympiads and certain Talent Search Scholarships at state, national and international levels. With a 360-degree approach, these classes help in building a strong foundation for future competitive exams like IIT-JEE, NEET or CUET.
So, these classes make the students future-ready for all upcoming and challenging competitive exams helping them emerge with flying colours. Moreover, kickstarting preparations with the SpeEdLabs Foundation Classes lets the students spread out the syllabus and learn at their own pace, utilise maximum time and resources at hand, build rapport with mentors at each level and find ideal study pattern and a proper strategy suitable for them. Students who practise years in advance hardly ever have any knowledge or information gaps. This ensures a stronger chance of admission in top institutions of their choice.
SpeEdLabs Learning App
SpeEdLabs has their popular AI-based learning app known as SpeEdLabs Learning App designed for test preparation and practice of different kinds of school, PU-college level and competitive exams including grade 6 to 12 (CBSE, ICSE, & NCERT-based syllabus), IIT-JEE and NEET-UG. It is a one-stop learning platform that offers a safe space for students to kickstart their preparations for competitive exams through personalised learning and knowledge-acquiring solutions. Here, students can access well-curated text (20000 plus concept notes in PDF formats) and audio-visual (5000 plus video lectures) content, and practise with access to instant feedback/ reports. The app also has performance tracking, a subject-wise self-test/ practice section, previous year question papers (3 lakh plus MCQs) with solutions and a bunch of sample papers for revision. Besides, there are individual improvement plans, national level accuracy, analysis and comparisons, 24×7 assistance in doubt resolutions from experts and more. Additionally, the app provides access to their career-oriented webinars conducted by experts apart from conducting frequent career counselling and guidance sessions.
Students who live in semi-urban and rural areas and often do not have access to equal learning opportunities can also unlock their dream careers by joining the Hybrid Learning Centre, another initiative by SpeEdLabs to make quality education accessible to one and all.
