This partnership marks the first time an Indian ed-tech company has collaborated with CTY, offering talented students from India the opportunity to participate in the centre’s online and on-campus summer programs.
Established in 1979 at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore (USA), CTY has been a non-profit dedicated to identifying and developing the talents of advanced elementary, middle, and high school students from around the world through its acclaimed programs, research, counselling services, and advocacy. By partnering with CTY, Ei offers Indian students the unique opportunity to experience learning at an institution that boasts an impressive list of alumni including the founders of Facebook and Google, popstar star Lady Gaga, journalist Ronan Farrow, and tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee (MKBHD).
Under this partnership, Indian elementary, middle, and high school students who score in the 98th percentile or higher in Math or English on Ei ASSET and Ei ASSET Talent Search can now submit their scores to qualify for admission to CTY courses. CTY offers hundreds of online and on-campus courses including Global Politics: Human Rights and Justice; Human Nature and Technology; Aeronautical Engineering; Scratch Programming; Java Programming; Macroeconomics; Microeconomics; Calculus; Physics; Biology; and languages such as Spanish, Chinese, and English. Students will also gain access to expert instructors who are capable of addressing the specific needs of gifted students, and a network of peers from around the globe who share their interests.
Pranav Kothari, CEO and Ei said, “CTY’s acceptance of the Ei ASSET assessment is a testament to the faith that top global education institutions have in Ei ASSET Talent Search (Ei ATS) and Ei ASSET, our scientifically designed assessment tools. It also recognizes the exceptional talent of Indian students and aims to provide them with the resources, support, and global exposure they need to excel in their chosen fields. The evaluation process for Ei ASSET Talent Search (Ei ATS) is extremely demanding with only the top 15 percentile making the cut out of the 4 lakh students that take Ei ASSET test every year. This means that only the most accomplished students from India will receive the opportunity to apply to CTY.”
