Finishing school (India)

For other uses, see Finishing school (disambiguation).

Finishing school is a supplementary training school popular in India that attempts to compensate for the deficiencies of low-tier colleges by providing specialized vocational training in technical fields such as computer programming and information technology. These IT finishing schools cover technical skills as well as communication and problem solving skills. Finishing schools can also make up for deficiencies in the Indian secondary education system with regards to math and science education by helping to bring students to a level necessary for gaining admission to University. Over-prepared and well-connected Indian students, may have a competitive advantage over their Western counterparts where added tutoring in schools, like Indian finishing schools are less common, particularly in Engineering and Medicine, areas that the Indian Finishing schools focus on. Elevate Finishing School is one of the well known ones in India.
