Project Infinity

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.

C DAT

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.

Competency Movement

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.
