of their child such as toys, dress etc. But only a few will keep their academic
records such as their diary, progress cards, the appreciation they received from
their teachers etc. Ellipse can be used to keep all these things of your child as

9. Will ellipse be helpful for my child to find a proper job?
Ellipse helps employers in finding students with proper track record. Employers
believe that the performance or aptitude of a candidate cannot be assessed by evaluating
through a single examination or interview. This is the reason why most employers
ask for the academic records from small classes onwards. The employers are not only
interested in the marks the candidate scored for examinations but also they are
interested in knowing all the activities and achievements they received from the
curriculum. But while preparing a resume it is very difficult for a candidate to
include all these details.
Ellipse helps the candidate to keep all these records in an organized manner. Most
of the records are automatically created from schools or colleges and are certainly
reliable for employers. The employers registered with ellipse will be able to find
out candidates suitable for their work and environment and also allows them to voluntarily
approach the candidate for that job.
10. How ellipse can help my child in his/her studies?
The ultimate intention of ellipse is to provide better technologically advanced
educational environment for the students. For that ellipse is allowing the students
to Share, Gather and Filter (SGF ™ educational methodology) knowledge. Students
can share their knowledge with their friends, can gather knowledge from friends
or other sources experts and can filter the knowledge with the help of experts.
Ellipse has registered subject experts who have proved their knowledge in various
subjects. Students can contact them to clarify their doubts. Also ellipse provides
them with useful resources which they can read to improve their knowledge.
11. My child is having behavioral problems. Can ellipse help?
Academic period is the right time to fix any behavioral issues of children. Many
children show behavioral issued during the initial stages of education. If properly
attended, these issues can be resolved and we can save the future of that child.
If unattended, these issues can get sediment and can evolve as a defect in their
character.
Generally speaking, all normal children are born with same range of intelligence.
But then why some children are having good records and others are having average
or bad records? These are due to the influence of the environment in which they
grow (family, schools, friends etc). The result of this influence will definitely
be indicated in their behavior. Most of the time parents ignore these issues. In
some cases, these issues will be much serious. During later stages this will affect
their character, education and ultimately their future.
So parents need to know whether these issues requires attention or not. For that
advices from experts are important. Ellipse helps the parents to have private one
to one communication with registered consultants who are experts in this field.
