Abstract
Achieving eminence in STEM domains requires the development of intellectual and academic abilities, creativity, and the cultivation of psychological and social skills. The value of talent development, nurture, and training is key to achieve success in science. Using the mega-model of talent development as the theoretical basis and embedded mixed-method design, the present study examines attainment levels of 622 STEM professionals aged between 29 to 77 years who are awardees of Jagadis Bose National Science Talent Search (JBNSTS), India's oldest science talent search organization. The efficacy of the program towards nurturing pathways of eminence and expertise amongst scholars is explored through mapping longitudinal archival data and analyzing scholar interviews across four generations and three talent development stages. Findings throw light on key factors and experiences highlighting the role played by JBNSTS in facilitating the scientific journeys of its scholars over six decades. Differences in career trajectories and life choices of JBNSTS scholars are explained in terms of contributing factors related to their overall experience including transformational moments.
