Interview with

Dr. Gaurav

Jaiswal, IBCP

Coordinator

1. What is the IBCP, and how is it different from the

IBDP?

The IBCP, or IB Career-related Programme, offers a refreshing mix of

academic learning and practical experiences. Unlike the IBDP, which focuses

intensely on preparing students for university through six academic subjects,

the IBCP takes a more flexible, real-world approach. It pairs some IB

Diploma subjects with hands-on career-related studies, all while including a

thoughtful core programme that encourages personal growth, ethics, and

readiness for the workplace. This programme is perfect for students eager to

learn through practical action, not just theory.

2. Why did our school decide to introduce the IBCP, and

what does this mean for our students?

We recognize that each student is unique. Some flourish in traditional

academic settings, while others excel best when their learning feels authentic,

meaningful, and linked to their future aspirations. That’s why we created the

IBCP—to offer a pathway that aligns with the individual passions, strengths,

and career ambitions of students who thrive through hands-on experiences

and practical application. For our students, it translates to greater choice,

increased relevance, and a clear sense of direction that connects their

education with the professional world they aim to enter.
