Possible transitions from an alternate curriculum, and the general ambiguity around college admissions, contribute a lot to confusion in a student\u2019s mind. The IB diploma programme and career programme being global programs, are popular choices for students who wish to study overseas at some of the top Universities as well as for students looking to engage in critical and innovative thinking, to be able to actively engage in the increasingly globalized world. What subjects should I take? What courses should I look at? How do I build my profile to target my dream course and college? These questions and more, faze through a student\u2019s mind.

The IB Diploma Programme (DP)\"Ib-board-syllabus\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

The IB Diploma Programme is especially curated for students in the age bracket of 16 \u2013 19 years, and focuses on extended learning in selected subject areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

In-line with the ideology of the IB, a student is exposed to higher studies and a deeper understanding of different subject groups, thus facilitating holistic development, and development of a broad knowledge base. The IB intends for students to be aware across subject domains, even if they specialize in some.<\/span><\/p>\n
