The School Integrated Program (SIP) – Your School’s One-Stop Solution for Competitive Exam Preparation

In today’s fast-paced educational landscape, schools serve as much more than academic institutions; they’re hubs of excellence that foster holistic and comprehensive learning. Moving beyond the scope of conventional textbooks, new-age schools are trying to cultivate creativity, critical thinking, emotional intelligence and practical knowledge to nurture well-rounded individuals who are prepared to thrive in a dynamic world. 

After completing their schooling, a crucial phase in every student’s academic journey involves gearing up for entrance examinations. Navigating these state-level or national-level entrance exams can pose a formidable challenge.  The intensity of preparation, societal pressure, competitive nature of the exam, finding the right coaching center, etc. can create a high-stress environment. In fact, traditional coaching centers often demand relocation and impose exorbitant fees, putting a significant burden on families. 

But, what if there was an alternative solution that could provide students with top-notch coaching, without the need to relocate or spend a fortune? The School Integrated Program by Extramarks is that solution. In this blog, we discuss the key features of this comprehensive program and outline the benefits that make it an absolute game-changer for schools.

Each lecture is conducted by expert teaching staff who have been specially trained in competitive exam preparation. These expert mentors conduct regular doubt-solving sessions to resolve any doubts and ensure complete conceptual clarity. When teachers use the Extramarks Learning App to enrich their lessons, students can use the ‘Ask a doubt’ feature to clear their questions whenever needed.

This makes it convenient for both teachers and students to keep pace with constant updates and elevate the teaching-learning experience.

How SIP Can Benefit Educational Institutions 

Extramarks recognizes the importance of individual student progress and the need for adequate resources to empower schools in becoming student’s preferred choice for exam preparations. Each year, a significant number of students drop school and enroll in full-time coaching institutes to prepare for competitive exams like JEE and NEET. Consequently, schools lose their top-performing students. Additionally, the high cost and limited availability of reputed coaching centers creates a barrier for students, restricting their preparation.   

SIP can help schools retain top talent by providing students with cutting-edge preparation material, focusing on individual students’ academic journey and nurturing high-achieving performers. Let’s take a look at the advantages of adopting SIP in schools:
