What is C DAT?

CIGI Differential Aptitude Test (C-DAT) is one of the most successful and sensational inventions by our Faculty of Research and Analysis. Came into being in 2008 after running standardisation tests in over 4000 students comprising both high school and higher secondary,  it soon developed to become one of the best of its kind in the country.

Significance of C-DAT

Choosing a career option that suits one's skills and interests is necessary for smooth sailing in professional life. Disinterest in a career can cause many problems that can even cause psychological distress like depression so it is indeed essential to ensure the profession corresponds with passion. This shows the significance of an Aptitude Test. C-DAT is designed in a way to effectively discover the inner traits and inclinations of the student using a series of tests. It helps in clarifying students' doubts on  choosing a better career path according to their strength and potential.

How do we do that?

C-DAT is perfect for students who aren’t sure or confused about their future or present career choices. It facilitates the assessment of one's abilities in different fields such as verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, mechanical reasoning and space relations. This in terms creates your path to your career by generating ideas and more suitable options to choose from after analysing the skills and interests accordingly. It helps in shaping their decision making capacities as well.

Why C-DAT?

CIGI Differential Aptitude Test is a perfectly organised systematic series of tests where items of the test tool were analysed under the Item Response Model framework to establish item properties. The standardisation process was supported by Parisons Group, Calicut. Our experience over the years has proved that CDAT is the right tool to identify the basic inherent capacity of high school and higher secondary students.

In 2020, amidst the pandemic, we were able to successfully transform the CDAT process into a completely online model. The uniqueness of C-DAT Online is that it is not an automated test, our counsellors stay with the students throughout the test. The results are then elaborated to the students and parents through personal counselling. This whole process can be completed sitting in the comfort of your homes. The candidates may also visit CIGI Campus at Kozhikode for an in-person CDAT counselling experience.

WHAT IS A CENTRE FOR COMPETENCY DEVELOPMENT

Centre for Competency Development is an innovative project established as a part of celebrating CIGI's  two decades of meaningful intervention in empowering the weaker segments of society. In 2016 CIGI took the initiative to set up 100 Centres for Competency Development (Mission 100C4C) at grassroots level in various parts of the state. The idea of Mission 100C4C is an end result of deliberations and constant dialogues among think tanks of CIGI on lack of competence in students and job seekers from all streams who are pursuing their higher studies or looking for a job.

The project was built on a belief that the accomplishment of this mission would provide a solution for this affecting condition and lead to a massive transformation in the current occupational and educational state of the community.  By 2019, CIGI successfully completed this mission of implementing 100 centres and the project is still continuing through various activities for developing competence among the community.  

 A Centre for Competition instituted under C4C is basically an independent centre accredited to and monitored by CIGI and is envisioned to enhance the competency of students, nurture their talent, develop their skills, and direct them in their pursuit of better life and career. 

As the pandemic swept through the globe, we decided to create a novel model of competency development through ‘C-Circle’s (Competency Circles’. The C-Cirlce’s are WhatsApp based online groups through which regular aspirants are prepared to face competitive examinations. This is done through regular updates of study materials and daily, week and monthly tests.

Started in 2020, our mission was, ‘1000 C-Circles’ , which was accomplished in a short span of time with people from across the state joining this initiative.

CENTRE FOR COMPETITIONS (C4C Centres)

WHO CAN ACCREDIT AS A CENTRE FOR COMPETITIONS?

 Any local chapter of CIGI, Colleges, Schools, Orphanages, Panchayats, NGO’s or any similar institutes can apply to get accredited as a Centre for Competition under the project, Competency Movement.  Interested institutes/organisations have to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with CIGI to operate the centre. The project works with the objective to examine the academic personal and career excellence of young aspirants aiming at ensuring general competency development of those with qualification of 10th or above.  Any institutions that meet the requirements mentioned below are eligible to accredit as a Centre for Competitions under the project:

1. An office space (preferably with internet connection)
2. Class Rooms/ Training Hall (preferably with Audio Visual Equipments
3. Co-ordinator (Full time/Part Time)
4. Committee to supervise the centre

 THE ELIGIBILITY TO ENROL IN CENTRE FOR COMPETITIONS?

• Preparation of the manuals, course modules, and study materials.

Career counselling is a part of behavioural science. It is the process of helping the candidates to select a course of study that may help them to get into a solid profession. A career counsellor helps the candidates to get into the career that is best suited to their aptitude, personality, interest and skills. So it is the process of making an effective correlation between the internal psychology of a candidate with the external factors of employability and courses.

 This discipline is intended to help our younger generation to cope up with ups and downs of life in such a way that they attain positive mental health, self sufficiency, productivity, efficiency, and also create their own position in the world of work. The course contains principles, concepts, and theories of social importance for career development. It also nurtures practical insight about guiding the younger generation towards the pursuits of excellence.

There are numerous educational institutions available in the country but not all of them assure the best quality education to the students enrolled with dreams and aspirations. Students select colleges mainly according to their field of interests and thus college is an important platform where their passion and ambition is to be nurtured so as to guide and place them  to their fixed passion. Thus it becomes necessary to provide them with the best quality education possible not just in academics but for their overall evolution as better people.

The project aims at overall development of institutions covered, in both academic and non-academic domains. The actions to be implemented in each college will be determined based on the report of assessment made in each domain.

Objectives of the Project

 To develop Educational Institutions as Centres of Excellence, nurturing quality education and research and creating knowledge hubs where students emerge as global leaders capable of meeting the challenges of time.

What is it about?

 No child should be denied the equality in education and the opportunities it provides, because of factors far beyond their control. Our constitution ensures equality in all areas to all law abiding citizens, education being the most important of all. There are students who face problems in learning and they are not equally accepted most of the time. They are mistreated in the classrooms and their problems are left unsolved. It is clear that just as there are ramps built at strategic locations for the benefit of the physically handicapped, invisible ramps of support should be provided for the learning disabled to overcome their invisible handicap.

Studies show that every classroom is likely to have two or three children with learning disabilities. Moreover, many of these special children are likely to have more than one learning disability (LD). The most common learning disabilities in classrooms are dyslexia (the inability to read or interpret lessons and symbols), autism (a neurological disorder in which the child has poor social skills) and attention-deficit hyperactive disorder. CIGI is here to provide support and help to the students in need. Our Learning Clinic established in 2015 is designed exclusively for children with learning disabilities.

Significance of the Project:

 In India, the LD movement is nascent with schools and education boards having made concessions for LD students less than a decade back. Popular Indian schools, even those in well developed cities such as Mumbai, still lack adequate special teachers to handle such children in classrooms. Experts working in the field also complain that the idea of inclusion - including children with LD in classrooms with other children who don't have LD - isn't being implemented in its true spirit. LD children still lose out, especially when they enter the critical Grade IX. According to directives to promote all children to the next class till Grade VIII, most children with LD manage to reach higher classes. But many of them are asked to leave the school in Grade IX due to poor scholastic performance. Thus clinical support for children with LD has become a necessity. But the clinics proving LD care are very few to count. CIGI makes sure no student is left unnoticed or unguided as we are here with solutions to all such problems helping you to identify and solve the disabilities as well as  provide with proper guidance.

How do we do that?

The following are the services provided in the CIGI Learning Clinic:

• Screening & Counselling for poor performers
• Clinical Childhood assessments
• IQ and LD Assessments
• Regular remedial coaching /Training
• Parent education courses
• Awareness and Training for school resource
• Course for teachers in management of LD

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY

1. PRE-MARITAL COUNSELLING

Number of failed marriages is increasing day by day. What could be the possible reasons for unhappy marriages and increasing divorces? There can be many. But one of the major red flags in any relationship is the lack of understanding. Marriage is a huge step in every individual’s life. Married life is of course not a bed of roses, it has all the complications that come along when two people from two different backgrounds, having diverse tastes come together as a couple. This mutual settlement demands a great deal of patience, understanding, adjustment and commitment from both sides.

Here arises the relevance of premarital counselling. CIGI Premarital Counselling is a form of couples therapy that can help you and your fiancé prepare for marriage. This will reduce friction in married life and help in better understanding between the spouses. Our Pre-Marital Counselling Wing will help you have a better awareness of marital life before stepping into the path together.

2. FAMILY COUNSELLING

Lack of communication and commitment among blood relations is a common flaw of today's generation. People are shrinking into a world of their own which would eventually lead to fractures in family relations. CIGI is here with our family counselling scheme to help those in need.  Our counsellors will help you improve the flow of communication inside the family and thus develop a pleasant atmosphere at home. 

3. COUNSELLING & THERAPY

Trauma and depression are the trending words among the younger generation these days. Mental health is equally or more important than the physical health of a person which, left unnoticed, can lead to serious problems. Counselling or therapy is a way to help people with a broad variety of psychological and emotional difficulties. Keeping a track on one’s mental health is an essential factor which can be done by means of therapy. There is no shame in seeking expert help to address your personal issues or to check on your mental health. CIGI Learning and Better Life Clinic can be considered as a perfect option for such Counselling and Therapy sessions. Our expert counsellors will help you find yourselves and support in finding solutions for your most difficult problems. Do not hesitate to address your inner problems and talk about them

The students who fail in public examination are reported with the onset of any unnoticed cognitive, behavioural or learning disorders. Either the disorders or the environment in which they were brought up lead to the failures. We believe that those students who fail in 10th exams are not the ones who are innately unable to pass the examination; rather it is a result of negligence in identifying their learning disorders at an early stage.

CIGI has set up a Learning Clinic and its main focal area is to help the children with difficulties in learning. We have a good resource pool containing clinical psychologists, counsellors, special educators, trainers etc. The project is a remedial learning process headed and executed by specialists in learning.

Methodology followed:

• At the outset school visits are conducted
• Interaction with teachers
• Individualised data collection
• Parent’s meet
• Two days workshop for the students.
• An individualised remedial plan will be prepared from the workshop.

The project team will also prepare individualised plans for the institutions or organisations who want to associate with us. Such custom made plans prepared by experts have been appreciated widely.

Analysing the economic progress in countries such as Japan and the Republic of Korea, we find that rapid industrialization and growth in exports have been driven by scientific innovation and a powerful coalition between government, industry, research and academia. Soon after independence India's leadership realised the value of developing our science and technology (S&T) infrastructure, and it was with this in view many autonomous institutes and organisations like Council of Scientific and Industrial Research were set up. The budding generation in our country are capable of becoming critical contributors in the progress of a nation if they are guided and mentored properly. Here comes the relevance of an organisation that can help guide the students to the path of science and technology inspiring them to indulge in scientific activities. PROJECT INFINITY is an initiative by CIGI in order to implement a special platform for the students with innovative and scientific temper.

What is Project Infinity?

Project Infinity is an initiation from the part of CIGI with an intention to instil scientific interests in school children as a means to inspire and guide them to pursue a profession in science education and research. We envision the creation of more scientists like our founder Dr. KM Abubacker, who was a senior scientist at BARC (Bhabha Atomic Research Centre), serving our nation remarkably all through his life. CIGI is here to support the innovative and unique ideas of the younger generation.

Objectives of the project

• To develop a desire for scientific learning among the new generation and guide them to attractive careers in research fields.
• To bring out a creative twist in the prevailing career planning tendencies of the community.
• To produce young scientists with passion to experiment and commitment.
