Understanding the nuances of laying a strong foundation, we work towards building the concepts of the students from a very early age. For this, we have Foundation Division which focuses on developing a child's personality. We regularly organize numerous Olympiad exams that are crucial in developing the reasoning and analytical abilities of the students and at the same time give them an idea of the competitive exams.

Why do you believe that the institute focuses on improving students' foundations by prioritizing quality over quantity of education? And please explain how.
It is a common saying that studying one thing 100 times is better than covering 100 topics one time. This itself establishes the importance of quality over quantity. For laying a strong foundation it is crucial that students develop a deep understanding of fundamental concepts, which is essential for their overall academic and personal growth. This indicates the importance of thorough learning laying emphasis on quality rather than quantity.

We focus on quality of education by providing students with practical knowledge with real-world application of concepts. This helps them excel in their future endeavors.

"Combining multiple subjects into a mixed curriculum can help in sustainable development and understanding of the topic or subject."

Which education technique enables the learners to obtain skills, knowledge, or behavior by involving in situations similar to real life?
Looking at how the world is changing at a fast pace along with the growing inquisitiveness of the students, experimental learning can be considered to be the way forward for a more immersive education system. This is an active approach for learners to experience real-world scenarios or situations where they can apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations. This type of learning is highly effective as it engages the students in a more meaningful way. Providing them with a deeper understanding of the subject, it helps in creating a long-lasting impact on their memory. At the same time, the innovative teaching technique enhances the skills needed to succeed in the real world.

Furthermore, integrating technology with experimental learning can replicate real-world scenarios, allowing learners to engage in virtual experiences. Technology allows students to practice and develop problem-solving skills by offering interactive video lectures, practice tests, and personalized feedback. It aids students in developing a deep understanding of the subjects and topics covered in the exam.

Combining multiple subjects into a mixed curriculum can help in sustainable development and understanding of the topic or subject. It allows students to see how different areas of knowledge are divided but at the same time, work collectively to create sustainable solutions. It has a major contribution to helping students understand complex issues and problems from a variety of perspectives. This comes in handy in solving lengthy questions involving a multi-faceted approach.

Do you think standardized testing is the most effective way to judge learning?
According to me, standardized testing is important because it sets a benchmark to evaluate the performance of the students. Though it should not be considered an effective way to judge learning but can help in identifying the weakness and strengths of the students. It gives an insight into the individual's hold on the topics or concepts to strategize better and prioritize their studies. Taking tests helps individuals to actively engage with the material they are studying, which can promote deeper learning and retention of information.
