It should be about Additive learning and experiential learning, and we have a lot of technologies that enables organizations to ascertain this. This will help to engender skilled candidates who can be absorbed by the industries and who could help transform the country,” said Krishnan CA.

“Proper learning needs individualization. If a student is good at programming, but is week at other subjects, what should we do? There should be a way to sharpen his/her skills. This makes individualization important. This is where skill mapping and learning path comes in. If we can map all skills of a student across the week, we can understand the learning path, and can be followed. NLP can help in this regard,” adjoined Dipyaman Sanyal.
