STUDENT EXPERIENCE
SPI scores are calculated biannually at the end of each term, allowing students to track their progress and realign their developmental goals with career objectives. Top scorers in each term are also recognised and rewarded to demonstrate the importance of holistic development and the significance of leading their own transformation journey. Lastly, the scores are used towards the development of personalised indices in the newly launched Parivartan Portal, alongside those relating to nurturing potential. These highlight sectors and career paths that might be a strong fit for students’ individual strengths. Faculty play a crucial role in enabling students’ transformation journeys. Termed “growth catalysts”, they mentor approximately seven students each, facilitating their deep reflective learning sessions and mentoring them within the CARE framework outlined as follows: • Clarity: Gained from the process of creating a Parivartan Action Plan • Align: Where competencies selected for development meld with aspirations and industry‑readiness • Review: The process of checking and reflecting regularly on progress • Examine: Through which students gain greater self-awareness and ownership of their development journey
During the induction at the start of her first year, Roshni learns about Parivartan, undergoes psychometric assessments and receives her personalised reports and competency indices. She then learns how to understand and interpret them by attending debriefing sessions, gaining awareness about her strengths and areas in need of development. She chooses marketing as her area of specialisation and creates a Parivartan Action Plan (PAP) with the help of her faculty mentor. She also begins to recognise how diverse components of the school’s Student Progression Index (SPI) will help in her targeted development. For example, Roshni identifies that she needs to develop two core competencies: Analysing and Adapting & Responding to Change. She partners with her classmate Ali, whose strength is Analysing, and together, they participate in a case study competition. Although they do not win, Ali is impressed by Roshni’s commitment to developing her Analysing competency and is inspired to create his own PAP; something he had delayed at the beginning of the programme. Both students then take up a new sport to work on a common area for development identified in their assessments: Adapting & Responding to Change, with these efforts recognised as a part of SPI. Separately, Roshni’s mentor helps her see how participation in external events will assist in the development of Relating & Networking, a differentiating competency for the marketing specialisation and a crucial part of the toolkit for the sales role to which she aspires in the fast-moving consumer goods sector.
