February 18: “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world” – Nelson Mandela. Education is the first step for people to gain the knowledge, critical thinking, empowerment, and skills to make this world a better place.

At the same time, the world of education is said to be too complicated. One can easily get trapped if they do not get a good mentor to provide the right direction towards their dreaming goal.

Many students dream of cracking pre-medical / pre-engineering exams but fail to find a suitable helping hand after seeing all the aspects of students Synthesis Group of Education took the step to establish an institution that shall help students pursue their dream career, and that too within an affordable range.

The establishment of Synthesis Institute became true because of three partners;  Dr. Shwet Goswami (Academic Director), Mr. Manoj K. Bajaj (Management Director), Mr. Jethmal Suthar (Administration Director). The synthesis started its inception in the year 2006 with around 120 students, but today they cater 2000+ students in fetching their goals per year.

In the booming education system, the Synthesis Schooling Generated 2000+ Toppers of Medical and IIT in the last 16 years. The reviews provided by the students indicate that the institute offers an excellent platform to crack the exam through perfect teaching methodology.

To date, the institute has given the society two thousand doctors and two hundred fifty engineers.

All India 3rd Rank by Khushboo Bhambhu in AIIMS, Ajay Meena’s first rank in his class in ST category in AIIMS, Palak Meena’s first rank in her category in the ST category in NEET, Ayushi Daga’s All India 102 rank with XII in NEET, and Yash Karnani’s All India 121 Rank With XII in NEET are the feather in cap to prove that education method of Synthesis provides quality and trust to build student’s position in his or her dream career.

Initially, Bikaner lacked a well-organized NEET and IIT JEE coaching, and students from here went to other districts to prepare for these exams.

The conception of Synthesis Institute by the three partners in Bikaner paved a path for local students preparing for pre-medical and pre-engineering.

Due to different subjects of the three, the partnership proved fruitful. From the very beginning, they gave importance to emotions more than a legal agreement so that there was no rift in the partnership.

Also, in 2019 Synthesis Coaching Institute jointly started completely free coaching “Pragyanam” in collaboration with Dr. K.D. Sharma, who runs Sushila Keshav Educational Institute, thought that no talented student should be left behind due to financial incapacitation.

In Pragyanam, free coaching is provided to the students of class 11th and 12th of science stream for the preparation of NEET and IIT JEE.

During the pandemic, Synthesis Coaching provided an online coaching system and helped in remote preparation for students to get selected in NEET, JEE, and other courses. According to Academic Director Dr Shwet Goswami, ‘Today we can proudly say that students from Shri Ganganagar, Shri Hanumangarh, Churu, Jhunjhunu, Sikar, Jodhpur, Ajmer, Jaisalmer, Nagaur districts come to study in Synthesis institute & fulfil their dreams. To fetch great results, the institute offers students different test centres to make them comfortable at that location.

According to administrative Director Jethmal Suthar- ‘After a student gets enrolled to the Synthesis Institute, we nurture their growth. We make it our priority that the decision of getting enrolled with us makes him/her confident of his/ her selection in the future. With us, students are under the guidance of professional and experienced tutors. We also provide multiple options of scholarship programs, and some students can get free education as well.

As per Management Director Manoj k Bajaj- ‘if any student is unable to attend our classes offline, then he/she need not worry as we have started our online classes also through the Syndigi App maintained by our expert developers. Students can easily attend online classes and solve their queries through this.

Syndigi app helps you to get high ranks in medical, IIT, NEET etc. courses. In addition, we are working on getting more students from Haryana, Punjab, Delhi, Gujarat, Maharashtra, etc.’

Today in 2022, thousands of children are taking advantage of Synthesis’s Classroom Coaching, Distance Learning Program and Test Series. Students can also take advantage of the Syndigi app to improve their skills and learn various topics in rural areas. In 2022 the institute has started the expansion of Counseling sessions along with test centres over the country so that every child gets more centres for giving tests and come to the course nearby their location.

LawSikho has broken previous placement records in the month of January by providing jobs, freelance work and internships to over 400 learners in a period of 1 month.

A variety of factors have led to the record-breaking success of LawSikho’s placement efforts. The legal sector is seeing a rapid recovery from the slowdown caused by the pandemic, and there is a great deal of demand for trained legal talent. Also, more businesses are formalising in India thanks to the growth of UPI and e-commerce, leading to an entirely new clientele emerging for professionals like lawyers, accountants and company secretaries. Additionally, there is a great deal of demand for Indian lawyers and paralegals in countries like the USA, Canada, UAE and Australia. There is a similar demand in Europe also, although language barriers can play a spoilsport in those countries.

120 learners bagged freelance opportunities from 38 startups and 2 international law firms. They got an opportunity to work on general contract drafting and review, investment documents such as SAFE, term sheets, privacy policy etc. Some of them were also engaged in legal blogging, academic writing, and other tasks.

65 law students who are yet to learn sufficient legal skills launched their freelance journey by working on projects such as legal transcription, translation, content writing and virtual assistantship roles.

21 lawyers and compliance professionals have received jobs in law firms, MNCs, and other organisations, including Gartner, Persistent System Limited, AARC Partners, Peritum Partners, LegalEase Solutions LLC, etc. 2 of these were international jobs from The Cowlitz Law Group, Washington and Helvetia Human Performance Group, Geneva. The student who bagged the opportunity from Helvetia in Geneva also bagged the biggest annual package at $24,000.

2 students received assessment internships at Wadia Ghandy & Co. and Lexygen Law. 102 more students received paid internships in India, the UK, USA, Australia and other countries in law firms and other organisations. 98 law students accepted unpaid internships, which may lead to paid opportunities/ jobs soon.

Since 2021, in light of the shifting job market and the rise of the gig economy, LawSikho has been training learners to take advantage of international remote freelance work. The LawSikho team has helped many lawyers to transition into international remote freelance work through platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and People Per Hour. 

“We have really stepped up our efforts on generating international opportunities for our learners. In February, we are beginning extensive marketing campaigns targeting law firms and remote startups in the USA. We hope to double our placement numbers by May. However, the next big challenge for us is how fast we can upskill more students to take advantage of these incredible opportunities.”, said Ramanuj Mukherjee, CEO and Co-Founder at LawSikho.

“With the help of the LawSikho team, I was able to consult an e-commerce company based in Kenya”, said Advocate Surekha Gajakos from Mumbai.

This record-breaking quiz was hosted by the most celebrated quizmasters of the country, Dr. Navin Jayakumar and Avinash Mudaliar.

“I have never seen a quiz of this large a turnout in my entire life.

We wanted to completely change that entire format and encourage students from across the globe to participate,” says Mr. Mudaliar.

Many participants found the Grand Finale to be more challenging than the Prelims. Sanjay Senthilnathan who stood second in the Finale of the quiz, said, “The questions in the Grand Finale were tough. However, the manner in which they were presented by the quiz masters made all the difference for me. They kept us motivated throughout the contest. My biggest takeaway from ClassAct 2022 has been the fact that it has motivated me to participate in more quizzes now.”

According to the Arush Aroh, who grabbed the third spot in the Grand Finale, what set ClassAct 2022 apart from others in the ilk was the way it was conducted. “The hints shared by the quiz masters were so helpful that even if someone knew 5% about the topic, they would be able to get to the answer. I also gathered quite a few fruitful insights during the whole process,” he said.

The junior champions from the Prelims also seemed to be equally thrilled. Bhuvana Kumar Gopal, who was the topper in this category, said, “It was very encouraging and a great learning opportunity for me.” Echoing a similar spirit, Dhruva Meghashyam Shirodkar, who grabbed the 3^rd position in the junior category, said, “It’s actually my first solo quiz and I feel really good about coming third in it.”

New Delhi (India), February 2: Genius students across the globe compete to win Champion, Gold and Silver titles at the 7th International Brainobrain Abacus Competition 2022, held on 29th January, online.

Brainobrain conducted the most acclaimed global event of the year on skills and mathematical ability assessment. On this online event, 23537 students from 72 countries participated to win various winning titles. This competition is designed for the students of Brainobrain International, who are part of Brainobrain’s abacus course for kids.

Kids participating in the Brainobrain International Online Competition solves sixty complex sums within four minutes. Junior kids derive the answers using the abacus tool, while elder children derive answers through mental arithmetic skills. Children who present the answers with maximum speed and accuracy are declared as winners in this international competition.

“When my son Jaden’s teacher suggested about Brainobrain Course, I could easily locate their abacus class near me, as they have lots of branches. He is a student of Brainobrain for the past one year. Needless to say, this has become one of the best extra-curricular activities of Jaden. I have observed that his confidence and concentration skills have increased manifold, especially during the practice sessions of Brainobrain Abacus Competition. This is something that caught my curiosity. Because, normally, kids would get nervous and be afraid during any exam. But, Brainobrain’s competition itself is strengthening their skills. In these unfortunate times, children need such events to reinstate their winning spirits”, says Mr Gerald, a parent from Dubai.

Pandemics has brought in far-reaching changes in all aspects of our lives. Education is one of the sectors which underwent a paradigm shift with innovative strategies, in implementing quick alternatives and in reaching out the students all across the globe. Assessment methods were reinvented, evaluation processes were reformed and active participation methodologies were approached even by conventional institutions. This transformation has been phenomenal in terms of adaptation from the students and implementation from the institutions.

Brainobrain was way ahead in identifying the potential of e-learning platforms in reaching out to a larger student base and also in effectively introducing its personality development programme for kids to some of the untapped pockets of the globe. Brainobrain’s unique approach was well received all over, which continues to yield astounding results by bringing out the best in every student and by keeping their performance levels high despite the pandemic circumstances.

Mr. Anand Subramaniam, CEO, Brainobrain Kids Academy said, “Unlike being a mere catalyst, we at Brainobrain continuously push ourselves in understanding young minds. When we started to create franchisee opportunities, within no time, it became an ideal part-time business opportunity for women. Our women entrepreneurs have been quite successful in providing differential methodologies that ensure active voluntary participation from the young leaders. Brainobrain research team will continue to strive hard in bringing out the best from the young aspiring leaders. Our handholding will certainly help in shaping them for the future”.
