SpeEdLabs Partners with CH EdgeMakers to Expand Test Prep Programs for IPMAT / similar entrance exams for IIM Undergraduate courses

Mumbai, [April 21, 2026]: SpeEdLabs, a leading EdTech Company revolutionizing personalized learning has partnered with CH EdgeMakers to help students prepare for entrance exams like IPMAT, CLAT and CUET. They aim to make this support available in schools in smaller towns.

SpeEdLabs is helping more than 150,000 students through engineering and medical Test Prep oriented programs through 750+ schools. With this partnership, they will expand the Test Prep programs for management colleges and other career pathways. These aptitude exams test the students for quantitative, verbal and logical reasoning knowledge; and shortlisted students are invited for group discussion and personal interview rounds. The students living in small towns don’t get equal opportunities for such preparation due to limited exposure.

SpeEdLabs and CH EdgeMakers aim to make it effective and affordable for the students to prepare for these exams within their existing school environment. They plan to do this by working closely with schools and integrating structured preparation into regular learning through structured program, books, adaptive learning app, national test series, algo driven personalized improvement study plans and GD/PI preparations.

“We want to make sure students have affordable access to quality programs for all career and skill aspirations. This partnership will enable thousands of students living in Tier 2 / 3 towns to work towards their dream careers beyond STEM fields.” said Vivek Varshney, the Founder of SpeEdLabs. “ Now that many IIMs are offering UG programs in management and analytics, we need to empower the students in small towns to prepare well to compete at national level. Working with schools makes it easier for students to enroll in national level Comprehensive programs. They can prepare in a more structured way as part of their regular learning. We see this as an important step in making high quality preparation more accessible to a larger number of students.”

Some IIMs, like IIM Indore and IIM Bangalore are starting undergraduate programs. These programs are seeing strong interest from students, but it is still difficult for many of them to access structured preparation outside larger cities. The number of students taking these exams is increasing exponentially in line with the growing number of seats for such programs.

SpeEdLabs and CH EdgeMakers want to address this gap by bringing preparation directly into schools and making it more accessible. This partnership reflects a broader shift in education in India. More students are exploring diverse career paths beyond STEM and need structured support to prepare for these entrance exams. SpeEdLabs and CH EdgeMakers aim to make this support more accessible and easier to access within the school system.
