COMPETITIVE EXAMS AT SCHOOL LEVEL:
At School level, there are various competitive exams which helps to identify the scholastic talent in
students. Identifying their skill level earlier is not the same as putting pressure on a student to
suddenly turn into a prodigy. In fact, Preparing for competitive exams is about helping your child be
the best he can.
The focus of competitive exams is to impart factual knowledge and develop the required intellectual
skills to apply that knowledge. The curriculum of these exams aims to concretize what was already
learnt and takes the students to the next level. This develops the ability for independent work, and
objective thinking in students. Appearing in these competitive exams also brings a discipline in most
students.
Most competitive exams follow a combination of an aptitude component and subject knowledge
component. The aptitude component is based on raw problem solving skills, analytical ability i.e. not
directly related to school curriculum. The question format also tests logical thinking. The subject
knowledge component focuses on advanced extension of regular mathematics and science school
curriculum that can be mastered only by regular practice.

An engineer is a professional practitioner of engineering, concerned with applying scientific
knowledge, mathematics, and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical, societal and commercial
problems. Engineers design materials, structures, and systems while considering the limitations
imposed by practicality, regulation, safety, and cost.
WHY CHOOSE ENGINEERING?
The key benefits of choosing a career in engineering are both financial and prospect based.
Financially, the starting salaries are among the best across all industry sectors. Engineering also
gives you a great base to branch into different sectors and also work your way up to high level
management.
Being an engineer means you get to be the first to develop or try out new technologies like artificial
hearts, developing and delivering better constructed environmentally sustainable buildings like the
first undersea house! Engineers design and build virtual reality worlds, soccer fields or new planets.
Engineers discover and patent new materials that can cure cancer or cure the common cold.
Engineers are involved in making the future a reality. There is growing demand for skilled engineers
across the globe.
BRANCHES IN ENGINEERING:
Aeronautical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering
Biotechnology or Bio-Engineering
Chemical Engineering
Civil Engineering
Computer Science and Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Electronics and Communication Engineering
Industrial Engineering
Materials and Metallurgical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering

2. MEDICAL:
A physician is a professional who practices medicine, which is concerned with promoting,
maintaining or restoring human health through the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disease,
injury, and other physical and mental impairments. Medical practice properly requires both a
detailed knowledge of the academic disciplines (such as anatomy and physiology) underlying
diseases and their treatment – the science of medicine – and also a decent competence in its
applied practice – the art or craft of medicine.
DEGREE AWARDED: Bachelor of medicine and Bachelor of Surgery engineering (M.B.B.S) is awarded upon successful
completion of the course which is of 5.5 years. Bachelor of dental surgery (B.D.S) is a professional
degree programme in dentistry .course duration is 4 years.
Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharma) is mandatory to get a medical shop license in india. Course
duration is 4 years. Candidates can opt for M.D. (Doctor of medicine) or M.S. (Master of surgery)
after M.B.B.S or Master of dental sciences (M.D.S) and gain further specialization. Course duration
is 3years.
WHY CHOOSE MEDICAL? Medicine is not necessarily for everyone. It is a challenging and often gruelling process. Not only is
the workload much greater than a lot of other degree disciplines, but the job itself, certainly in the
early, clinical stages, is challenging on both an intellectual and psychological level. Potential doctors
can be motivated by a sense of altruism ( practise of concern for the welfare of others), because of
academic achievement in the sciences, or because of their admiration for relatives or family friends
already working in the field. Among the reasons why people decide to become doctors, are the
desire for a steady career, a healthy pay-packet and a respected status in society.
CAREER PATH: For a professional course in medicine or dentistry, you have to pass 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry
and Biology to apply for the competitive entrance examination.
Admission in medical colleges is through a general, nationwide competitive examination. The All
India Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Entrance Exam conducted by the CBSE is common for both the
MBBS and the BDS. There are also private colleges that admit students on an all India basis. But to
be eligible for practice, you must ensure that the course chosen is approved by the Medical/Dental
Council of India.
JOB SCENARIO / FUTURE PROSPECTS: Excellent employment opportunities are available for physicians & dentists in medical & dental
departments in hospitals, nursing homes, dental clinics and health departments. You can also seek
a teaching job in any of the dental colleges spread across the country. Apart from this, as a
physician you can seek work in the research and advisory departments of pharmaceuticals.
Self-employment is also a promising avenue. With experience, you can start your own individual
clinic. Many doctors/dentists prefer private practice as it provides the best financial prospects along
with a greater level of independence.

Practical Learning: Learning by just textual reading is a great way to acquire specific skills, but it leaves peculiar gaps in one’s knowledge. Practical mode of learning, bridges those gaps, and is also a great way to make learning interesting and fun. The practical learning provides a platform which takes students beyond the text books. We, at Edventure, are firm believer that practical learning (i.e. the ability to do something) is just as important as academic learning (i.e. knowledge about something). Practical learning encompasses anything that helps someone master a skill or ability.

It is a good exercise where the students researches over a certain topic and make working model. Unlike schools science project, students are supposed to present their work in class and demonstrate the working.
Science Trip: We also take our students on a science trip to enhance the academic learning of students. A visit to a science museum or power plant is very useful to the students. This gives an exposure to real life applications of the academic curriculum to the students.
Mental Aptitude Development:
Aptitude is a natural talent for the performance of a particular mental task, which, to a certain extent, cannot be gained through knowledge, understanding or training. While focusing on the scholastic learning, aptitude development of students is neglected by the current education system.
For the proper and balanced learning with analytical and logical thinking, development of one’s mental aptitude is very important.
