This means students can prepare for both school boards and India\u2019s toughest competitive exams\u2014such as JEE, NEET, CLAT, CUET, and IPM\u2014within one cohesive framework.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The program focuses on strengthening fundamentals in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, and Mental Aptitude (PCMB + MAT) for Science aspirants.
