Shubha might have become part of this statistic if not for the opportunity to receive "Education with Exposure." This paved the way for awareness and clarity, empowering her to shape a future aligned with her interests and abilities.

The programme's strength lies in covering both familiar and complex sectors across the STEAM spectrum in ways that pique curiosity and motivate students to pursue education objectively.
The Students to Professionals programme curriculum has three main parts:
