BIG-VISION PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN

NOTE: Under this program, we can take a maximum of 100 students in a city. If the demand is higher and we cannot meet it, we will conduct a selection.


This highly valuable program serves as the foundation for lasting success.


This is for mentoring children between 12 to 15 years to make them winners in future life. It is planned and delivered only by prominent alumni from institutions like IITs and IIMs.
To give a more holistic view, we also incorporate very prominent folks from all walks of life, while designing the course material.

We believe, as we have first hand experienced, that the formation of success ingredients happens much before a  child joins the rat race of coaching classes and competitive world.
The knowledge available is like the walls and paints of the home, but the strength to hold it comes from foundations and the pillars. And these are laid much before, when we are not watching and more worried how the house will look like later.

Most competitive examinations, and a few times even environments inside the home and the schools, ignore these in a child.
 
The proofs manifest themselves year after year - many of the IIT/ IIM/ IAS folks coming from a tough background or a brilliant scientist or a business leader overcoming the toughest of situations in life and lack of resources.


It focuses on four components of lasting success:
1. Situational skills ,
2. Mental power,
3. Critical skills ,
4 Hunger for knowledge and success

We evaluate each child under this program on all four and them take them to level much higher than their peers.

Situational skills:
These are required to handle tough and unexpected situations. A few children may face such things just before critical exams, say a family event or illness but ALL of them face it in exams that matter like IIT, IIM, AIIMS because to sift the top cream, examiners want to churn using seemingly tough and surprise scenarios. This helps them identify toppers from a vast group of folks with similar knowledge, coaching and intelligence.

The situational skills' areas of focus are :
- Emotional Intelligence and Application

- Stress management
- Values for success

In this module, we use situational tests, and build it through experiential learning. One offsite camp is also required.


Mental power:

These are required to handle complex and long problems. For example, most tough mathematical questions can be broken down in small steps, if one has the logical mind. Similarly, Chemistry required great logic and sharp memory. While History, economics, etc also require a good comprehension and at a speed.

The areas of focus are:
- Memory building
- Reading comprehension
- Analytics and problem solving logic


In this module, we use stepwise techniques, delivered through tests and their individual analysis by us.

Critical Skills

These are the languages - English and Mathematics. These two form the medium for every expression across subjects. A great foundation in these two is critical for success.

The areas of focus are:

- Building logic of languages - English and maths

-Comprehensive coverage of above

- Converting complex communication into fluently expressed English

- Converting complex mathematics into simple problems

This module involves some knowlegde on building blocks, tests and individual analysis.


Hunger for Knowledge and Success

This forms the part that motivates the child to perform, using above three. But the motivation is to be generated inside and not through external orders.

In this module, we increase the level of awareness of each topic and the paths to achieve more. For example, a child who decides when in 7th that he/she will be an IITian has 80% more chances of success than one who makes up the mind 4 years later. Same goes for a cricketer or an artist or a doctor. 

This is so because the mind thereafter actively works towards the pursuit of that bigger goal. And everything on the way becomes an enjoyable experience.
