CINEC introduces foundation programme leading to an international degree

CINEC now offers a six-month foundation program leading to International BSc Degree. The students need not have to pass any subjects at their G.C.E. (Advanced Level) Examination. If students have 5 Credits in their G.C.E. (O/L) including 2 Credits for English, Mathematics or Science in one sitting and have sat for A/L in any stream namely, Science, Commerce, Technology or Arts. In the past, students those who fail the G.C.E. (Advanced Level) Examination should re sit the examination in the following year. Some students are unable to pass the 3 subjects even in the second or third attempt and very crucial time in their life is wasted. Accordingly, the academic process during the two years in the G.C.E. (Advanced Level) is given due recognition when enrolling students for CINEC Foundation Program. The foundation program replaces need the students be qualified in the G.C.E. (Advanced Level) Examination and provides sufficient knowledge to bridge the gap. It contains degree relevant subjects such as Transport Management, Logistics & Supply Chain Management, Economics, Concepts of Information and Communication Technology, Mathematics, Business Statistics, English language, and Fundamentals of Management.

Other advantage is that students, irrespective of the stream they followed in their Advanced level classes, CINEC foundation links them to a science degree which is a rare opportunity. Although the subject selection in the G.C.E. (Advanced Level) should be a learned decision, there are students/parents who make a misjudgment when selecting the subject stream in the G.C.E. (Advanced Level) due to poor SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis. Unless students carry out a systematics SWOT analysis and to identify the academic strengths and weakness of following intended subjects under respective streams it may create a lifelong barrier in the progression path both academic and professional.
