WHY STUDENTS SEEKING ADMISSIONS ABROAD?

Indian colleges reporting admissions cut-offs at almost 100%.

There are 370 million school aged citizens in India.

125 new universities and 6250 new colleges per year is needed.

So some of the millions of deserving Indian students are relocated abroad.

HOW IB IS HELPFUL FOR RELOCATION SEAT? Students, need to be competitive and

prepared for an international education. IBDP inculcates the skills needed to excel in

an international world. Indian students from IB schools are well

prepared for college level work. University admissions generally look for:

deep extracurricular interests leadership skills.

WHY CHEMISTRY?

Chemistry is the science of matter.

The Chemistry component of the IB is designed to fulfil the requirements of universities both here and internationally.

It is the central science which links Biology, Physics and Maths into a logically complete science and impacts on all aspects of our lives.

11

WHAT MAKES THE CHEMISTRY SPECIAL?

People with Chemistry transform the everyday materials around us into amazing things:

Some work on medicines for cancer Others monitor the ozone protecting

us from the sun. Still others discover new materials to

make our homes warmer in the winter. Or what new textiles to be used in the

latest fashions? The knowledge gained through the

study of chemistry opens many career pathways.

EVEN IF YOU DON’T WANT A JOB IN CHEMISTRY, YOU LEARN:

The experimental skills of planning, measurement, analysis and evaluation. Decision making and the skills of listening and constructive criticism. The skills of research and data processing. Presentational and communication skills. Application and reasoning skills. Students of chemistry are able to solve any

problem in life. Their approach will be always analytical and critical.

These skills are useful for any career and life.

INTERNAL ASSESSMENT (IA)(WORTH 24%)

The IA component consists of an interdisciplinary Group 4 Project, as well as a mixture of short-term & long-term practical work.

Students work is internally assessed by the teacher & externally moderated by the IBO.

The performance in the IA is marked against five assessment criteria that include :

Design (D), Data Collection & Processing (DCP), Conclusion & Evaluation (CE), Manipulative Skills (MS), & Personal Skills (PS).
