Independent Auditor's Report on Standalone Annual Financial Results of the Company pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) (cont'd)

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Statement

  1. This Statement has been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual financial statements and has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the net loss and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

  2. In preparing the Statement, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

  3. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement

  1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Statement.

  2. As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  3. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;

  4. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3) (i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and the operating effectiveness of such controls;

  5. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors;

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Statement or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern; and

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

  3. The Statutory Auditors have carried out the audit of the standalone financial results of the Company for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026. There are no qualifications in their report on these financial results. The figures for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, are the balancing figures between the audited figures for the full financial year and the reviewed figures up to the nine months ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

  4. Information in respect of operating segments have been disclosed in the consolidated financial results of the Group.

  5. In continuation of the notice received from the Directorate General of GST Intelligence in FY24 regarding intimation of demand amounting to ₹ 1,281.00 Lacs related to supply of books as a part of composite supply of commercial coaching services, the Company has received a demand order u/s 74 Central Goods & Service Tax ('CGST') Act 2017 for the same which includes an additional amount equal to the total demand amount as penalty. The Company appealed against the above order. The same was rejected by the appropriate authority.

Since the Company had won a similar ruling in the Supreme Court under the erstwhile Service Tax regime, and the Company believes that it has discharged all the relevant GST liabilities in compliance with the applicable laws, the Company has decided to appeal against the rejection in Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal ('GSTAT').

  1. CL Media Private Limited, a former wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has received an Order on 05 January 2026 in Original from the Office of the Assistant Commissioner of Central GST, Delhi South dated 26 December 2025 raising demand for tax and penalty amounting to ₹ 1,686.59 Lacs on CL Media Private Limited and its Directors pertaining to the period FY18-19 to FY21-22. CL Media Private Limited merged into CL Educate Limited in March 2022. The matter has been appealed with relevant authorities with the Company being advised by a well renowned Indirect tax legal counsel based on reasonably strong grounds and hence no provision has been taken in the financial statements.

  1. During the previous year ended March 31, 2025, the Company decided to discontinue its Engineering, Medical CA and Bank-SSC Product ('Cash Generating Unit') offerings in India. This strategic decision was taken to enable the Company's newly acquired subsidiary DEXIT Global Limited (formerly NSEIT Limited) to participate in the business opportunity for conducting examinations related to JEE, NEET, Bank-SSC, CA etc without any perception of conflict of interest despite the businesses operating in 2 separate legal entities. The market opportunity for DEXIT global broadly includes 50 lac tests for JEE & NEET and 100+ lacs test for Bank-SSC amounting to a potential market opportunity of ₹ 300-400 Cr+ per year currently. The Company pre-emptively decided to stop new enrolments for these product groups effective Jan 2025. The servicing of already enrolled students will be completed over the remaining period: -

(Loss) / Profit from Discontinued Operations (155.58) (21.46) (607.52) (449.81) (910.29)
  1. Exceptional items -

a. On 21 November 2025, the Government of India notified provisions of the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020 and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, ('Labour Codes') which consolidate twenty-nine existing labour laws into a unified framework governing employee benefits during employment and post-employment. The Labour Codes, amongst other things, introduces changes, including a uniform definition of wages and enhanced benefits relating to leave. The Company has evaluated the potential impact of these changes which has resulted in increase in gratuity liability by ₹63.44 Lacs arising out of past service cost and increase in leave encashment liability by ₹33.91 Lacs aggregating to ₹97.35 Lacs. Considering that, the impact arising out of an enactment of the new legislation is an event of non-recurring nature, the Company has presented this incremental amount under Exceptional expense in the financial results for the year ended 31 March 2026.

b. Pursuant to the acquisition of DEXIT Global Ltd., the Company had initially recognised a deferred consideration to NSE Investments amounting to ₹ 2,480.00 lacs payment of which was linked to release of Bank Guarantees by customers. During the year, upon further review of working capital adjustment and some of the tax implications, the Company has agreed a reduction ₹ 551.20 lacs with NSE Investments. Consequently, the Company has recognised the same as a one-time exceptional income.

Basis for Opinion

  1. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement section of our report. We are independent of the Group, in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('the ICAI') together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial results under the provisions of the Act, and the rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us together with the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in paragraph 12 of the Other Matter section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Statement

  1. The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual financial statements and has been approved by the Holding Company's Board of Directors. The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the consolidated net loss and other comprehensive income, and other financial information of the Group in accordance with the Ind AS prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.

preparation of the Statement. Further, in terms of the provisions of the Act, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group, covered under the Act, are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act, for safeguarding of the assets of the Group, and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively, for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial results, that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. These financial results have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Statement by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

  1. In preparing the Statement, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group, are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group, to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

  2. Those respective Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the companies included in the Group.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement

  1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act will always detect a material misstatement, when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error, and are considered material if, individually, or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Statement.

  2. As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  3. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;

  4. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3) (i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Holding Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls;

  5. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors;

  6. Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group, to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Statement or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern;

  7. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation; and

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial results of the entities or business activities within the Group, to express an opinion on the Statement. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the Statement, of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Statement, which have been audited by the other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

  • We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the Statement, of which we are the independent auditors, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

  • We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

  • We also performed procedures in accordance with circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33 (8) of the Listing Regulations, to the extent applicable.

Other Matters

  1. We did not audit the annual financial results of nine subsidiaries included in the Statement whose financial information reflects total assets of ₹ 43,767.39 lacs as at 31 March 2026, total revenues of ₹ 28,708.17 lacs, total net profit after tax of ₹ 1,913.99 lacs, total comprehensive income of ₹ 2,484.67 lacs, and net cash inflows of ₹ 3,467.91 lacs for the year ended on that date, as considered in the Statement. These annual financial results have been audited by other auditors whose audit reports have been furnished to us by the management, and our opinion in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries is based solely on the audit reports of such other auditors, and the procedures performed by us as stated in paragraph 11 above.

Further, of these subsidiaries, three subsidiaries (including two step-down subsidiaries), are located outside India, whose annual financial results have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries, and which have been audited by other auditors under generally accepted accounting principles applicable in their respective countries. The Holding Company's management has converted the financial results of such subsidiaries from accounting principles generally accepted in their respective countries to accounting principles generally accepted in India. We have audited these conversion adjustments made by the Holding Company's management. Our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries located outside India, is based on the report of other auditors and the conversion adjustments prepared by the management of the Holding Company and audited by us.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter with respect to our reliance on the work done by and the reports of the other auditors.

  1. The Statement includes the annual financial results of two subsidiaries (including one step-down subsidiary) which have not been audited, whose annual financial results reflect total assets of ₹ 49.87 lacs as at 31 March 2026, total revenues of ₹ 14.42 lacs, total net loss after tax of ₹ 88.49 lacs, total comprehensive loss of ₹ 81.43 lacs for the year ended 31 March 2026, and net cash inflows of ₹ 9.60 lacs for the year then ended. These financial results have been furnished to us by the Holding Company's management. Our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of aforesaid subsidiaries, is based solely on such unaudited financial results. In our opinion, and according to the information and explanations given to us by the management, these financial results are not material to the Group.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter with respect to our reliance on the financial results certified by the Board of Directors

  1. In continuation of the notice received from the Directorate General of GST Intelligence in FY24 regarding intimation of demand amounting to ₹ 1,281.00 Lacs related to supply of books as a part of composite supply of commercial coaching services, the Parent entity has received a demand order u/s 74 Central Goods and Service Tax ('CGST') Act 2017 for the same which includes an additional amount equal to the total demand amount as penalty. The Parent entity appealed against the above order. The same was rejected by the appropriate authority.

Since the Parent entity had won a similar ruling in the Supreme Court under the erstwhile Service Tax regime and the Parent entity believes that it has discharged all the relevant GST liabilities in compliance with the applicable laws, the Parent entity has decided to appeal against the rejection in Goods and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal ('GSTAT').

  1. CL Media Private Limited, a former wholly owned subsidiary of the Group, has received an Order on 05 January 2026 in Original from the Office of the Assistant Commissioner of Central GST, Delhi South dated 26 December 2025 raising demand for tax and penalty amounting to ₹ 1,686.59 Lacs on CL Media Private Limited and its Directors pertaining to the period FY18-19 to FY21-22. CL Media Private Limited merged into the Parent entity in March 2022. The matter has been appealed with relevant authorities with the Parent entity being advised by a well renowned Indirect tax legal counsel based on reasonably strong grounds and hence no provision has been taken in the financial statements.

  2. During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Group decided to discontinue its Engineering, Medical CA and Bank-SSC Product ('Cash Generating Unit') offerings in India. This strategic decision was taken to enable the Group's newly acquired subsidiary DEXIT Global Limited (formerly NSEIT Limited) to participate in the business opportunity for conducting examinations related to JEE, NEET, Bank-SSC, CA etc without any perception of conflict of interest despite the businesses operating in 2 separate legal entities. The market opportunity for DEXIT global broadly includes 50 lac tests for JEE & NEET and 100+ lacs test for Bank-SSC amounting to a potential market opportunity of ₹ 300-400 Cr+ per year currently. The Group pre-emptively decided to stop new enrolments for these product groups effective Jan 2025. The delivery to already enrolled students will be completed over the remaining period of delivery: -

9. Exceptional Items-

(a) On 21 November 2025, the Government of India notified provisions of the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020 and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, ('Labour Codes') which consolidate twenty-nine existing labour laws into a unified framework governing employee benefits during employment and post-employment. The Labour Codes, amongst other things, introduces changes, including a uniform definition of wages and enhanced benefits relating to leave. The Group has evaluated the potential impact of these changes which has resulted in an increase in the gratuity liability by ₹391.65 Lacs arising out of past service cost and increase in leave encashment liability by ₹114.74 Lacs aggregating to ₹506.39 Lacs. Considering that, the impact arising out of an enactment of the new legislation is an event of a non-recurring nature, the Group has presented this incremental amount under Exceptional Item in the financial results for the year ended 31 March 2026.

(b) There are trade receivables due to Career Launcher Infrastructure Private Limited ("CLIP") from the Nalanda Foundation of ₹ 525.00 lacs, who had licensed school infrastructure from CLIP in Indore and Raipur but failed to meet its payment obligations. Due to a considerable delay by the Nalanda Foundation in meeting its obligations, despite repeated reminders, CLIP had initiated legal proceedings against them for recovery of dues and return of assets, with the Honourable Delhi High Court. The Honourable Delhi High Court had instructed Nalanda Foundation to return the assets to CLIP and appointed an arbitrator to hear the dispute. The arbitrator had issued an interim order in favour of the Company but at the time of the final award refused to adjudicate the merits of the claim on technical grounds. CLIP has challenged the said decision before the High Court of Delhi. The matter is currently sub judice.

Considering significant delays in the resolution of the matter, as a prudent measure, the Group has decided to write-off the entire amount of ₹ 525 Lacs. The same amount is currently placed under exceptional one-time loss. The Group, however, continues to pursue legal action against Nalanda Foundation.

(c) Pursuant to the acquisition of DEXIT Global Ltd., the Group had initially recognised a deferred consideration payable to NSE Investments amounting to ₹ 2,480.00 lacs. During the course of the year, certain legal expenses incurred by the Group amounting to ₹ 213.97 lacs on behalf of NSE Investments during the previous year were adjusted against the aforesaid payable. Subsequent to the completion of the true-up exercise between the Group and the seller, and after payment of ₹ 850.00 lacs to NSE Investments, the outstanding deferred consideration payable has been revised to ₹ 1,369.98 lacs. Consequently, the Group has recognised a one-time exceptional income aggregating to ₹ 551.20 lacs during the year.

CL Educate Announces Q4 & FY26 Results

FY26 Revenue from Operations grows 53% Y-o-Y; Operating EBITDA up 116%

Delhi, May 13, 2026: CL Educate Ltd (BSE: 540403 | NSE: CLEDUCATE) today announced its audited consolidated results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026. FY26 marked an important year for the Group, reflecting the first full year of integration of DEXIT Global Limited (DEX) and a significant expansion in the scale of operations across the portfolio.

On a consolidated basis, Revenue from Operations grew 53% year-on-year to ₹548.1 crore for FY26, compared to ₹358.1 crore in FY25. Operating EBITDA rose 116% to ₹47.96 crore (vs ₹22.26 crore in FY25), underscoring meaningful improvement in operating leverage as the acquired DEX business completed its first full year as part of the Group. Net Cash generated from Operating Activities meanwhile grew nearly 5x from ₹16.36 crore in FY25 to ₹79.06 crore in FY26.

Finance costs for the year stood at ₹43.64 crore (FY25: ₹8.34 crore) and depreciation & amortisation at ₹41.44 crore (FY25: ₹20.16 crore), both reflecting the full-year impact of the DEX acquisition completed in February 2025 and the associated acquisition financing. As a result of these higher non-operating charges aggregating ₹85.08 crore (FY25: ₹28.50 crore), the Group reported a Net Loss of ₹26.05 crore for FY26 (FY25: net loss of ₹11.29 crore), notwithstanding the strong operating performance.

DEXIT Global Limited delivered a strong first full year under the CL Educate umbrella, achieving a complete rollover of key contracts from its earlier NSE Group structure. Importantly, marquee clients such as IRDAI renewed long-term engagements with meaningful pricing improvements, reinforcing the strength of the business and client confidence in its execution capabilities.

The MarTech business continues to also grow steadily, registering an 11% topline growth with continued trust from leading global technology and enterprise clients like Dell, Salesforce, AWS and Google. International growth contributed strongly to the overall performance of this business with Singapore adding Moody's, Adobe, Autodesk and H2O as new clients. The Indian business too saw marquee brands like Deloitte, PWC, Hilton, Emirates, etc. empanel us to work with them for the first time.

The EdTech business continued to operate in an evolving market environment marked by increasing adoption of modular, flexible, and digital-first learning formats. While this transition has impacted average realizations across certain categories, the Company maintained market share across key segments and continued to strengthen its product mix through technology-enabled and AI-supported learning solutions. The benefits of ongoing cost optimization and operating efficiencies are expected to become increasingly visible through FY27

  • Revenue from Operations grew 53% to ₹548.1 crore (FY25: ₹358.1 crore).

"The Group delivered strong growth in revenue, operating EBITDA, and operating cash flows during the year, supported by improved execution across businesses and a meaningful contribution from Digital Assessments. We are particularly encouraged by the operational performance of DEX, including the continued strength of client relationships and renewal of key engagements."


"While the reported profitability for the year reflects elevated finance costs and depreciation associated with the DEX acquisition, the underlying operating trajectory and cash generation of the business strengthened materially during FY26."

CL Educate empanelled by EDCIL to partner with Universities for Online Degree Programs

200+ University and 25 million student opportunity

New Delhi, India | 13th May 2026

CL Educate Limited (BSE: 540403), (NSE: CLEDUCATE), one of India's leading education and knowledge services companies, today announced that it has been empanelled by EdCIL (India) Limited, a Mini Ratna Category-I CPSE under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, as a "Partner for Online Degree Programs/Trainings with Recognized Institutes."

The empanelment marks a significant strategic milestone for CL Educate and strengthens its position in India's rapidly expanding Online Program Management (OPM) ecosystem. CL Educate intends to leverage its integrated higher education ecosystem — spanning digital learning infrastructure, assessment capabilities, student acquisition, and nationwide academic support infrastructure — to build scalable university partnerships across India.

The empanelment enables CL Educate to collaborate with universities and higher education institutions for online degree programs, executive education, learner support systems, digital delivery infrastructure, student acquisition, assessment solutions, and related academic services in alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 vision.

India's higher education sector is expected to witness unprecedented expansion over the coming decade as the country works toward increasing its Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) from 28.4% to 50% under NEP 2020. Industry estimates suggest that nearly 60% of the incremental GER expansion could come through online and distance learning models, potentially adding over 2.5 crore students to online higher education over the next 7–8 years, representing an estimated ₹18,000 crore opportunity for the sector.

CL Educate believes that scalable, technology-enabled online learning models supported by strong physical student-support infrastructure will play a pivotal role in bridging this access gap. Through its nationwide Career Launcher physical center network, the company intends to provide academic counselling, student engagement, mentoring, and learner support services alongside digital delivery models.

The Group also intends to leverage its broader ecosystem including DEXIT Global's assessment infrastructure, mySATHI learner support ecosystem, 361DM's OPM expertise, and its established student reach to build an integrated higher education enablement platform for universities across India.


Commenting on the development, Mr. Satya Narayanan R, Chairman, CL Educate Limited, said, "This empanelment by EdCIL is an important validation of CL Educate's long-term vision in the higher education and digital learning ecosystem. India is entering a transformative phase where technology-enabled education will become central to achieving the goals outlined under NEP 2020. With our strong digital capabilities combined with our nationwide physical student support presence, we are uniquely positioned to help universities scale high-quality, accessible, and outcome-driven online programs across the country.

"We believe this partnership framework can significantly accelerate our contribution toward India's GER expansion journey while creating a strong and scalable growth engine for CL Educate in the years ahead."

CL Educate believes the EdCIL empanelment will further strengthen institutional trust, enhance access to leading universities and educational institutions, and create opportunities for long-term strategic partnerships across central universities, state universities, private universities, and executive education ecosystems.

The company also sees strong synergies between this initiative and its existing assessment, student engagement, and digital learning capabilities, particularly through DEXIT's nationwide assessment infrastructure and CareerLauncher's large student ecosystem.
