From that very moment the child has approximately -  …Two Million Minutes until high school graduation…Two Million Minutes to build their intellectual foundation…Two Million Minutes to prepare for college and ultimately career…Two Million Minutes to go from a teenager to an adult

In other words…. How a student spends their Two Million Minutes - in class, at home studying, playing sports, working, sleeping, socializing or just goofing off -- will affect their economic prospects for the rest of their lives. AND… Reality is :- We are NOW left with 1MM….

The Big Questions What is the IB? How does it work? How is it distinctive? What do universities and employers think? Who is it for? Shekhar Hardikar

What is the IB Diploma Programme? A two year course equivalent to any 12th Grade HSC/ ISC/CBSE/As- A level programme. Requiring students to study six subjects. Tested by coursework and final exams. Complemented by the theory of knowledge, an extended essay and a commitment to creativity, action and service . Leading to an internationally recognised qualification for university entrance.

Assessment in the Diploma Programme—External assessment Some assessment tasks are conducted and overseen by teachers without the restrictions of examination conditions, but are then marked externally by examiners. Examples include: world literature assignments for language A1 written assignments for language A2 essays for theory of knowledge and extended essays.

Assessment in the Diploma Programme—students are assessed both internally and externally in ways that measure individual performance against stated objectives for each subject. In most subjects at least some of the assessment is carried out internally by teachers, who mark individual pieces of work produced as part of a course of study. Examples include: oral exercises in language subjects projects student portfolios class presentations practical laboratory work mathematical investigations artistic performances.

Issues: INDIA Three major issues: 1. Timing of the Indian school year. The release of exam results on July 5th for May session exams is late as compared to the Indian HSC exam results which are issued in the first week of June. 2. The percentile equivalence to IB DP grades as there is a great demand for admissions in the leading Indian colleges. 3. Need to get predicted grades accepted by more universities. Need to ensure validity of predicted grades. Shekhar Hardikar

Progress: INDIA The Association of Indian Universities based in New Delhi has accepted the DP as equivalent to the +2 program in India. University of Mumbai / University of Pune /University of Delhi / Symbiosis / University of Bangalore and many more universities Accept students with IBDP grades. Shekhar Hardikar

For professional courses like engineering and medical, entrance tests are mandatory. IB DP students are eligible to sit for these tests provided they have opted for the right subject combinations. Comparative Curriculum Study (IB DP vs. ICSE vs. CBSE Board) underway with CIE, University of Delhi. Shekhar Hardikar

INDIA- Schools have two options; A) Indian school students could sit for the November Exam Session (Currently University of Mumbai accepts predicted grades and will take students with certificates 24+) This is sent by IBAP to schools latest by July 10th. Shekhar Hardikar

INDIA- Schools have two options b) Issue accurate predicted grades for provisional admission into Indian Colleges. Thus an additional mark sheet is being issued for students seeking admission in Indian colleges only if their schools make a request to IBCA on a B2 form. Shekhar Hardikar

Last But Not the Least…. Never Choose a Programme because MOST students follow that….or SEEMS popular There are Many a MORE options than we think that they exist…

Questions…. shekhar H
