GMCS Training Programs mere mechanical process and money spinners than knowledge facilitators

Articled students are required to attend various GMCS programs during their training.  However there seems to be little in terms evidence to indicate the efficacy of the programs and its impact.  The issue has implications both for the student as well as professionals who are required to send them for

the same. 

 

It is critical for the institute to share with the student and professionals the following information.

 

1.      Evaluation of the student, in terms of scores, both before and after the program.

2.      Modal/average score of the batch/region/national level

3.      Moving average of the modal/average score in the batch/region/national level

 

Unless we spend quality time in evaluation we are going to reduce, before long if not already, these programs to a mechanical process and perceived as more money spinners than knowledge facilitators!
