Many times, the outcome of a process is easily predictable. For example, the probability of team A winning over team B can be predicted given data of past encounters and other related statistics. Even though you cannot make an emphatic statement about that event because there is no certainty in life, probability gives complete control
Students at AIMS are trained to cultivate the habit of giving back to society through various activities and initiatives.
