Conceptualised by Dr. Suborno Bose and his team and designed with the help of advanced technology and expertise at IBM, the ECPT promises to change students’ lives by helping them find positive direction based on their aptitude, interest and skills. “Sometimes children write all sorts of exams and choose something where they have qualified without thinking whether it is suitable for them or not. We want to change that mindset,” said Dr. Bose. “If someone’s skills is towards accounting, engineering, data science or cyber security, we want to give them suggestions and not force it upon them,” he added.
“I think all of us have gone through that predicament, what is the right career, this would be an invaluable tool that would enable all these kids at least to get some guidance,” said Sandip Patel, the MD of IBM, India and South East Asia.
