Two best friends, Shyam and Ganesh, took their SEE exams together. They had been friends since class 1, and this was just another milestone in their journey. After their exams, they decided to move to Kathmandu to prepare for higher studies. They traveled on the same bus, stayed in the same hostel, and had the same goal—to make the most of their break before college.
Bridge Course vs. IT Skills – A Life-Changing Decision
As they settled in, the big question arose: What should they learn? To find the answer, they attended a career counseling session. Shyam was drawn to a bridge course after hearing inspiring success stories of students securing scholarships. Motivated, he immediately enrolled. Ganesh, however, remained skeptical. He wondered, “If I’m going to learn the same syllabus again, why not just revise it myself?”
One day, while walking back to the hostel, Ganesh noticed a poster advertising a two-month AI course. Curious, he visited the institute and was amazed to see students mastering web development, game development, graphic design, and AI. Inspired, he signed up for the AI course, feeling this was something he had always wanted to learn.
Results: Who Benefited More?
Both friends studied hard—Shyam focused on entrance exam prep, while Ganesh immersed himself in AI. As the exam approached, Ganesh revised his class 9/10 concepts and got some help from Shyam. When results were out, Shyam scored higher and secured a scholarship, while Ganesh ranked well but didn’t get a scholarship.
However, what happened next changed everything.
Ganesh’s AI skills made him stand out in college. He represented his college in hackathons and programming competitions and won multiple events. His classmates admired him for his knowledge, and he got exclusive opportunities.
Meanwhile, Shyam’s bridge course only helped him with the entrance exam. Once in college, he had no unique skills to set him apart.
Over time, Ganesh kept refining his AI knowledge, gaining new skills and industry experience. The 2-month AI course he took during his SEE vacation gave him a lifelong advantage, while Shyam’s bridge course was useful for just one exam.
The Choice is Yours!
Now, what will you choose? Will you be like Shyam, preparing only for an entrance exam, or like Ganesh, learning valuable skills that give you an edge for life?
