<< Looking for Volunteers >> Quick Background : There’s a school dropout (10th pass, 2020) who cannot afford to do her 11th/12th anymore (lost time and income in CoViD years) so she’s now thinking about directly going for a diploma in IT instead. She’s based out of Bengaluru and she needs help in understanding what her options are. So I was thinking who better to guide her on this than our own RI tribe 🙂 Anyone who’s interested in sparing 15-20mins for this (today or tomorrow) please DM me your number and time-to-connect. Ideally, we want to talk to someone who has specific knowledge about diploma options available for 10th pass students. Thanks 🙏

Hi Abhishek! Maybe this is also an option: Try checking in with folks at navgurukul?

@calm-grass-85557 I have few questions: 1. why IT- is this her choice? 2. If IT does she have funds to afford a simple desktop+internet so that she can practice at home and keep in pace with institute. there are ITIs accept 10th pass students.

Thanks Amit for recommending NavGurukul 👍 Amita, to answer your questions quickly: 1. Yes 2. We will make sure she has all the required support (laptop,internet) but looking to get clear steps on how to proceed with Diploma course. A diploma might provide her structure and routine to get some momentum.

If homeschooling is an option you want to consider: http://www.ignou.ac.in/ I am not sure if they have diploma, but I think if you want to do bachelors, you can do their 2 year course for very cheap and then pickup a bachelors course. Please do some research incase you want to go out of country because for VISA validation they will ask for a valid degree and sometimes IGNOU may not be available.

Hi, my experience with ignou was very bad. So won't be recommending it. I was enrolled in PG Diploma in computer application. No communication from them when exams are happening, when assignments are due etc.
