Chitkara University Online Introduces Global Accounting MBA amid Rising Demand for International Finance Skills

Desk News — Tue, 12 May 2026 18:04:58 +0530

Acknowledging the global need for a significant shift in management education, Chitkara University Online has launched its Online MBA in Global Accounting. Due to the nature of the global economy, industries are recalibrating at unprecedented speed and professional benchmarks transcend national frontiers, the value of a business degree can no longer be confined to academic certification alone. Its real worth lies in its ability to integrate scholarly rigour with professional standards and global relevance. This launch represents institutional foresight grounded in data, trends, and a clear understanding of where the future of business education is headed.

The Growth of Indian Higher Education Sector

India has one of the largest higher education systems in the world. It comprises over 52,000 colleges and more than 1,300 universities. The sector is expected to grow from about Rs. 5.75 lakh crore (USD 68 billion) in 2024 to nearly ₹11.6 lakh crore (around USD 135 billion) by 2033. It will almost double itself in size over the next decade. This expansion signals qualitative transformation as students today are demanding flexibility, international alignment, and industry integration. Despite this modern-day transformation, the Master of Business Administration (MBA) has traditionally remained the flagship postgraduate qualification for aspiring leaders.

According to the India Skills Report 2025, MBA graduates now rank among India’s most employable talent pools. Their employability levels reach approximately 78% in 2025. It is notably higher when you compare them to other academic disciplines. However, global trends reveal moderation in conventional generalist MBA enrolments. Learners increasingly prefer specialised, practice-oriented, and professionally aligned programs that deliver demonstrable competence rather than broad managerial familiarity. The question is no longer whether one holds an MBA or not. The question now is: What global capability does that MBA validate?

The Rise of Professionally Benchmarked Credentials

Today, multinational companies, consulting firms, fintech organisations and global accounting networks are looking for professionals who are proficient across different regulatory systems, understand international accounting standards, and apply their knowledge from day one. Skills in analytics, compliance, global financial reporting and digital finance tools have become an essential part of the industry. In India, more students are choosing to pursue the Certified Public Accountant qualification offered by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The number of CPA candidates has grown from about 2,000 in 2020 to nearly 11,000 in 2024, an increase of almost 450% in just four years.

This clearly shows that many Indian finance professionals now want to build careers aligned with global standards, rather than limiting themselves to domestic frameworks.

The Digital Acceleration of MBA Demand

Parallel to this shift is the rapid expansion of digital higher education. There has been, thus, a sharp growth of online enrolments in India. MBA Programs consistently rank high when looked at the most sought-after course. Many people, including the working professionals, prefer online formats as it allows them to manage their professional workload accordingly. Their career does not need to be on halt for their MBA. The rise of stackable credentials and certifications reflects a broader global trend for professional relevance.

Chitkara University Online’s Strategic Response

It is precisely within this confluence of data, aspiration, and structural change that Chitkara University Online’s Online MBA in Global Accounting finds its significance. Rather than positioning professional certifications as just mere add-ons, the program is academically aligned with the CPA pathway.

International accounting frameworks, financial reporting standards, compliance systems, and global regulatory perspectives are embedded within the academic structure itself. The program integrates management principles with internationally benchmarked accounting competencies, thereby collapsing the traditional divide between university education and professional certification.

By doing so, Chitkara University Online now offers a pathway that aligns academic accomplishment with globally validated professional standards.

Strengthening India’s Global Talent Position

India’s growth as a global hub depends not just on how many graduates it produces, but on how skilled and competitive they are. When CPA aspirants grow by nearly 450% in four years, when MBA employability touches 78%, and when the higher education sector is projected to nearly double in economic value within a decade, the signal is clear: India is not merely expanding, it is recalibrating.

A Philosophical Reorientation of the MBA

In a borderless financial architecture, where regulatory standards, and reporting frameworks transcend geography, professionals must think beyond domestic constraints. Through its Online MBA in Global Accounting, launched with structural intent and data-driven clarity, Chitkara University Online stands at the intersection of academic rigour, digital accessibility, and global professional alignment.

For the past 77 years, NR Group (Makers of Cycle Pure Agarbathi) has been nurturing talent across India, and Deepika stands as a shining example of this legacy. Her journey from RMSD to the world stage is a testament to resilience, excellence and inspiration for generations to come.

Deepika T C, captain of India’s Women’s Blind Cricket Team, receives a warm hometown welcome after leading India to the historic T20 World Cup victory

A former student at Ranga Rao Memorial School for Differently Abled in Mysuru, Deepika led Team India to an unbeaten run throughout the tournament, demonstrating exceptional leadership, talent and determination at a global level. Her interaction highlighted the importance of perseverance and access to inclusive educational spaces.

Deepika has always stood out as a bright student with a strong passion for sports.

While her choice to pursue cricket may surprise some, her teachers recognized early on her determination and talent, making this step a natural progression in her journey.

At a special event organised following Deepika’s return at her home town, she spoke in detail about her journey starting from her early years at RMSD to leading the national side at a historic global tournament. She reflected on the challenges she overcame, the discipline and unity that defined the team’s campaign, and the pride of representing India in women’s cricket. Her address offered powerful insights into resilience, perseverance and the role of inclusive education in shaping her path.

Deepika T.C., Captain, Indian Women’s Blind Cricket Team, said, “This victory belongs to every girl who has ever been told that her limitations define her. It is proof that with the right support, opportunity and belief in themselves, any girl can dream without boundaries and excel in their career path. The education and values I received from Ranga Rao Memorial School for Differently Abled have shaped me not just into a cricketer, but into a better human being. This win is for my country, and I will continue to give my best to make it proud.”

Mr. R Guru, Chairman, NR Foundation added, “Deepika’s achievement reflects the power of inclusive education and sustained mentorship. When students are given the right environment and encouragement, they are able to discover their strengths and pursue their aspirations with confidence. We are very proud to host Deepika in her hometown who we know will inspire million girls like her.”

Supported by the NR Foundation, RMSD has for over three decades empowered visually challenged girls from economically disadvantaged backgrounds through free residential education and vocational training. Deepika’s success is a moment of immense pride for the institution and reinforces RMSD’s commitment to enabling visually impaired girls to excel in all spheres, including sport at the highest international level.

eCampus Edu Launches AI to help Students find the right Online Degree Program in under 60 Seconds

Desk News — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 17:00:11 +0530

New Delhi [India], April 21: With thousands of online degree programs and confusing eligibility criteria, students often struggle to find the right fit. eCampus Edu, an AI-powered platform, has announced that it has helped thousands of students across India and the Middle East discover suitable online degree programs in under 60 seconds.

The platform’s AI solves what it calls ‘decision paralysis’ — the overwhelming feeling students face when confronted with too many options, unclear eligibility requirements, and misleading information. According to eCampus, the AI matches students to best-fit programs based on four key parameters: eligibility, budget, career goals, and location.

How the AI works

A student inputs basic details such as qualification (12th, diploma, or graduate), budget range, preferred specialization (for example, MBA in Marketing), and career goal (job switch or promotion). The AI then performs three functions. First, it filters only UGC-approved programs from relevant universities. Second, it scores the shortlisted programs based on career alignment, return on investment, and flexibility. Third, it recommends top options with reasoning and also suggests alternative pathways the student may not have considered.

The company stated that the initial shortlist of recommended programs appears in 30 to 60 seconds. However, the final decision, which includes counseling and documentation support, typically takes one to three days on average.

Real student success stories

eCampus shared two anonymized success stories to illustrate the platform’s impact.

In the first case, a working professional earning ₹3.5 lakh per annum approached eCampus Edu to grow in his career. Based on his profile, the AI recommended an online MBA in Marketing. Within a year of completing the program, he transitioned into an Area Manager role with a salary of ₹6 lakh per annum — a near 71 per cent increase.

In the second case, an MBA professional based in the Middle East was struggling to move into a higher role due to lack of a doctorate degree. Through eCampus Edu website, he enrolled in an online DBA program designed for working professionals. After completion, he secured a leadership position with better pay and job stability.

A third example involved a diploma holder working in logistics who was only considering lateral B.Tech options. The AI recommended an online BBA followed by an MBA pathway, which fit his eligibility, was more cost-effective, and opened management career opportunities. He later transitioned into a supervisory role.

Hybrid model: AI plus human advisors

eCampus Edu employs a hybrid model where advisors work alongside the AI. The company explained that the AI handles data-driven tasks — analyzing student profiles, filtering eligible programs, and generating personalized recommendations within seconds. Advisors then step in to add human insight, helping students evaluate options, resolve doubts, and make confident decisions.

One notable example involved a working professional who had been rejected by multiple universities due to eligibility confusion. He had a diploma plus work experience but no traditional bachelor’s degree. An eCampus advisor carefully evaluated his academic background and experience, identified a UGC-recognized pathway he was actually eligible for, recommended an alternative progression plan involving a bridging program followed by a degree, and assisted with documentation and university communication. Within a week, the student secured admission into a suitable program. Today, he continues his education and has moved into a higher-responsibility role at work.

Upcoming AI features

The company said upcoming features include an AI career roadmap generator for degree and job path planning, a salary outcome predictor based on course selection, a smart comparison engine comparing universities against ROI and placement records, and a voice-based counseling assistant.

eCampus Edu also noted that it is actively exploring micro-credentials, short-term certifications, and corporate partnerships to support employee upskilling.

University partnerships

The platform partners with multiple UGC-approved Indian universities and select international institutions, with growing interest from US and European B-schools. Partner universities value eCampusEdu for high-quality, pre-qualified leads, better student-program fit leading to lower dropout rates, and stronger conversion through counseling combined with AI matching.

IvyEdgeSOP: Most Indian Students Don’t Get Rejected Because of Their Profile, They Get Rejected Because of Their SOP

Desk News — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 21:30:07 +0530

New Delhi [India], April 20: In the highly competitive world of study abroad admissions, most Indian students grow up believing a simple formula: strong grades, good test scores, and a few achievements should be enough to secure an admit. On paper, that assumption makes sense. But in reality, thousands of capable students face rejection every year despite having profiles that meet and sometimes exceed university expectations.

So what’s really going wrong?

According to IvyEdgeSOP, a fast-growing EdTech platform focused on admit strategy and SOP development, the problem is not the student’s capability. It is how that capability is communicated. After working with thousands of applicants across Germany, the US, the UK, and Europe, the team has identified a clear and repeatable pattern. Students are not getting rejected because they lack potential. They are getting rejected because they fail to present that potential in a way admissions committees recognize.

To understand how modern admissions actually work, IvyEdgeSOP breaks this down in detail on their platform:
https://ivyedgesop.com/

They also explore the decision-making logic of admissions committees in depth here:
https://ivyedgesop.com/blogs/sop-decision-theoretic-model-graduate-admissions

The Shift No One Is Talking About

Over the last decade, global admissions have evolved significantly. With more applicants achieving high scores and building impressive resumes, universities are no longer relying only on marks and test scores. Instead, they are placing increasing importance on qualitative factors like clarity of purpose, consistency of goals, and long-term direction.

This is where the Statement of Purpose (SOP) has quietly become one of the most decisive parts of an application.

Yet, most students still treat it as a last-minute writing task.

They approach it like a simple essay or a summary of their CV. The result is SOPs that sound generic, repetitive, and disconnected. For an admissions officer reviewing hundreds of applications every week, there is no strong reason to pause or remember that candidate.

SOP Is Not Writing, It Is Positioning

IvyEdgeSOP challenges this outdated mindset by introducing a crucial idea. Writing a strong SOP is not just about language or grammar. It is about positioning.

A powerful SOP is not about using difficult words or impressive sentences. It is about answering one key question clearly. Why does this applicant make sense for this program at this point in their journey?

This requires structure, clarity, and alignment, something most applicants are never trained to do.

The A.C.C.E.P.T. Framework

To solve this problem, IvyEdgeSOP developed its proprietary A.C.C.E.P.T. framework, a six-point evaluation system designed to reflect how top admissions committees actually assess candidates.

A – Academic Direction: Does the background logically connect to the chosen field?
C – Coherence: Is there a consistent story from beginning to end?
C – Capability: Can the student handle the academic demands of the program?
E – Evidence: Are claims supported with real examples?
P – Purpose: Does the applicant clearly understand their goals?
T – Trajectory: Is there a clear future path that the program fits into?

IvyEdgeSOP has observed that most rejected SOPs fail in at least two or three of these areas without the applicant even realizing it.

The Real Turning Point

The direction behind IvyEdgeSOP was not shaped by a single moment. It came from a pattern the team kept noticing.

Students with strong academic profiles, relevant experience, and clear potential were getting rejected from universities they were qualified for. Initially, it seemed like there might be issues in the profile. But after reviewing thousands of applications, a different reality became clear.

The profiles were not the problem.

The way those profiles were presented was.

Students who had built meaningful journeys were submitting SOPs that did not reflect their depth or direction. There was no narrative, no clarity, and no positioning. This gap between actual potential and perceived potential became the foundation on which IvyEdgeSOP was built.

Changing a Deep-Rooted Mindset

One of the biggest challenges has been changing how students and families view the SOP.

For years, it has been treated as a low-priority task. Something to complete quickly rather than build strategically. Convincing applicants to invest time in it required more than explanation. It required proof.

Instead of simply explaining, IvyEdgeSOP showed the difference. When students compared a standard SOP with a strategically developed one, the impact was immediately visible.

Built on Experience and Results

Before IvyEdgeSOP was formally established, the founding team had already built strong experience in the admissions space. Together, they had guided over 6,000 students, created more than 14,000 SOPs, supported applications across 200+ universities, and maintained a 99 percent visa success rate.

This experience helped them build a structured, consistent, and strategy-driven approach that goes beyond generic editing.

A New Standard for Admissions

Today, IvyEdgeSOP is working to redefine how students approach study abroad applications. By introducing admit strategy as a core concept, the platform is shifting the focus from basic document editing to strong candidate positioning.

They also offer a free Admit Chances review, allowing students to understand how their profile and SOP currently stand and what improvements are needed.

The Bigger Reality

As competition continues to grow, having a strong profile alone is no longer enough. Universities are increasingly relying on qualitative signals to differentiate candidates.

And the SOP is the most powerful tool to communicate those signals.

Students who understand this and approach their SOP strategically consistently outperform others, even those with stronger raw profiles.

Because in today’s admissions landscape, success is not just about what you have achieved.

It is about how effectively you present it.

University of Design, Innovation & Technology (Formerly IIAD) Sets New Milestones By Establishing A University For Creators

Newsvoir Press Release — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 15:00:13 +0530

University built around a single philosophy: learning by making

University of Design, Innovation & Technology (UDIT) established on the foundation of IIAD’s 10 year legacy

Established through an Act of the Haryana State Legislature, building on a decade of design excellence

The University of Design, Innovation and Technology (UDIT) has been formally established in Gurugram through an Act of the Haryana State Legislature. Conceived as a university for creators, UDIT brings together design, technology and management within a single, practice-led framework to enable impactful, real-world outcomes.

University of Design, Innovation and Technology (UDIT)

UDIT builds on the foundation of the Indian Institute of Art & Design (IIAD), founded in 2015, which pioneered studio-based design education in India and demonstrated what becomes possible when learning is built around making. The studio culture, the craft ethos and the deep industry engagement underpins a university where design, technology and management are not separate streams but integrated dimensions of a creator-centred education.

“We are not simply growing an institution, we are reimagining what a creator’s education can look like. UDIT is built on the belief that the most consequential people of this century will be those who can move between disciplines, make things with both hands and mind and lead with purpose. We want our graduates to leave with a body of work, and the disposition to keep making things that matter,” – Dr. Jitin Chadha, Pro-Chancellor, UDIT.

The University is anchored in an interdisciplinary approach across its three schools offering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across a diverse range of disciplines. The School of Design comprises the departments of Fashion, Visual Communication, and Product & Interior Design. The School of Management includes the departments of Fashion & Luxury Business Management and Technology Business Management. The School of Technology offers B.Tech and M.Tech programmes in Computer Science, AI and Design. A unified approach to learning, where multiple ways of thinking converge to shape thoughtful, well-rounded creators.

“The studio is the core at UDIT. It is where learning happens, where critique sharpens ideas, and where students discover what they are truly capable of making. Our curriculum is organised around real challenges. Students encounter problems first, then build the skills to solve them. That is the difference between an education that prepares you for existing jobs and an education that prepares you to create what comes next,” – Professor Usha Nehru Patel, Pro-Vice Chancellor, UDIT.

The academic framework is designed to facilitate movement across disciplines, allowing learners to build a more connected and expansive set of competencies over time. The curriculum responds to evolving industry contexts, integrating studio-based practice, project-led modules and collaborative work to bridge theory with application, supported by well-equipped labs and studios.

Led by faculty who bring together academic depth and professional experience, the approach remains grounded in current practice while staying attentive to emerging shifts. As the university begins to define its academic contours, the plan is to expand academic pathways, strengthening research and building deeper, more meaningful partnerships with industry and international institutions.

UDIT builds on IIAD’s academic foundation, expanding it to equip students to navigate and shape contemporary practice across design, technology and management. This progression reflects a continued effort to engage with the evolving demands of industry, positioning UDIT among institutions shaping the future of higher education in India.

About UDIT

UDIT—the University of Design, Innovation and Technology—is India’s first university built for creators, located in Gurugram. Emerging from over a decade of studio-led learning at IIAD, it brings together design, technology, and management within a unified, practice-led framework. The School of Design offers programmes in Visual Communication, Fashion, Product and Interior Design. The School of Technology offers B.Tech and M.Tech in Computer Science, AI and Design. The School of Management focuses on Fashion & Luxury Business Management and Technology Business Management.

While Denis Alipov, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Republic of India and Juan Antonio March Pujol Ambassador of Spain to India were the Chief Guests, Manoj Gupta, Provost Chair Professor, National University of Singapore was guest of honour on the occasion.

The global conclave witnessed participation from high-level delegations representing prestigious universities from across the world including Australia, Canada, France, United Kingdom, United States, Singapore, Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, South Africa, Colombia, North Macedonia, Philippines, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Ethiopia among others.

The prominent academicians from prestigious global universities who attended the conclave included Mihaela Gjorcheva, Vice President of Management Board International Slavic University, North Macedonia, Prof (Dr) SaifulIslam, Vice Chancellor American International University, Bangladesh, Dr Julie Ciancio, Vice President and Dean of Global Engagement Westcliff University, United States, Dolly Bhatia, Regional Manager-South Asia, University of Newcastle, Australia, Liyana Binti Bhaludin, International Partnerships Manager, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK, Dr Kimberly Reeve, Dean Saint Peter’s University, USA, Radhia Gaddouri, Director of IPSA Expertise Institut Polytechnique des Sciences Avancées Gaddouri Radhia, France and Dr Gebeyehu Ashagrie, Academic vice President, Bule Hora University, Ethiopia.

Speaking during the occasion, Denis Alipov, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Republic of India said, “The foundations of mutual trust and understanding between Russia and India were laid long before the establishment of formal diplomatic relations in 1947, our documented connections date back to the 15th century which were strengthened over time through the contributions of great thinkers and visionaries such as Leo Tolstoy and Mahatma Gandhi. These deep civilizational and cultural bonds, built on strong people-to-people connections, continue to define our relationship even today. This enduring strong foundation explains why our comprehensive partnership has remained resilient in the face of global challenges and continues to serve as a pillar of stability in international affairs.”

On strong bilateral ties between India and Russia, Denis said, “The trusted and forward-looking engagement between President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Narendra Modi reflects continuity and confidence amid global uncertainty. Russia and India are working closely to advance reforms in global governance, reflecting the growing voice of the Global South, and Russia firmly supports India’s candidacy for permanent membership in the UN Security Council.

Among the various areas of engagement, education has emerged as one of the most dynamic pillars of our partnership. Today, over 30,000 Indian students are pursuing higher education in Russia, with numbers increasing. Academic exchanges, joint degree programs and research collaborations are expanding rapidly, while new initiatives, including the establishment of Russian university branches in India under the National Education Policy 2020 are opening new avenues for collaboration. The bilateral education summits launched in 2024 have further strengthened institutional partnerships, paving the way for a more vibrant and future-oriented engagement between the two nations.”

Juan Antonio March Pujol Ambassador of Spain to India said, “In today’s world, we must remember that those who decide wars and those who fight them are often very different, decisions are taken by the old while the young bear their consequences. This is why we must resist the growing normalization of rearmament which is not only a waste of resources but also a dangerous path that divert vital investments away from healthcare, education, culture and human development.”

The humanity today stands at the threshold of transformative change driven by artificial intelligence and technological progress. AI will democratize creativity, enabling more individuals to express themselves while also reshaping sectors such as media, employment, healthcare and mobility. The aerial mobility holds the potential to become a major revolution for countries like India. Over the past decades, the world has rightly prioritized environmental protection, recognizing its direct impact on our shared future.

As we move forward, we must ensure that technological and economic progress does not come at the cost of peace, sustainability and human well-being.

The education sector will undergo one of the most profound transformations in the years to come. Having largely overcome illiteracy over the past century, the focus will now shift from mass, uniform systems of learning to identifying and nurturing the unique talent of every individual. Just as no two fingerprints are the same, every human being possesses distinct potential and the future of education lies in personalized, talent-driven learning models. The educators will play a crucial role not only as teachers but also as mentors and coaches, guiding individuals to realize their fullest capabilities in a rapidly changing world.”

Manoj Gupta, Provost Chair Professor, National University of Singapore said, “A strong focus on image-building reflects the importance of perception in shaping global institutions. Drawing from my journey at the National University of Singapore, I have seen how a clear national vision combining a knowledge-based economy with fundamental civic priorities such as construction of toilets can transform a country into a global benchmark. Progress whether for a nation or a university is driven by visionary leadership, strong policies and an incentive-based system that recognizes and nurtures talent. Talent exists everywhere but the real challenge lies in identifying it supporting it, and giving it the right environment to grow. Chandigarh University has immense potential and I see no reason why it cannot rise from its current position to the top 100 and eventually the top 25 globally. It all comes down to attitude, hard work and the collective determination to excel. Every individual here is capable the key is to channel that intelligence with the right mindset and ambition to achieve greatness.”

Deep Inder Singh Sandhu, Senior Managing Director Chandigarh University said, “The Global Partnership Conclave is a unique initiative by Chandigarh University is aimed at strengthening global partnership network to enhance the academic experience of our students by providing them international exposure. The primary objective of the conclave is to promote international student mobility, faculty exchange and collaborative research, thereby fostering knowledge exchange and encouraging innovation.

Why Top IIT & IIM Graduates Are Trying to Fix Higher Education?

Desk News — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 12:30:11 +0530

India produces millions of graduates every year, yet a growing concern among employers is clear, the gap between academic learning and real-world skills is widening. While students spend years earning degrees, many still struggle to meet the expectations of today’s fast-changing job market.

This disconnect has led to a larger question: is the current higher education system equipped to prepare students for the future of work?

A group of graduates from some of India’s top institutions, including IITs, IIMs, NITs, XLRI, BITS and FMS, believes the answer lies in rethinking how students learn, shifting the focus from theoretical knowledge to practical skills, real-world exposure, and career outcomes.

Quad’s model is built around this shift. Students are encouraged to move beyond passive learning and actively engage in projects, hackathons, and collaborative

problem-solving, helping them develop skills that align with industry expectations.

Programs Designed for Emerging Career Paths

Quad, an Industry Skilling partner has a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs, including:

• 4-year UG in Computer Science (AI & ML)

3-year UG in Management (with Applied AI)
BCA at Trisha College (affiliated with Mangalore University)
2-year PGP in Management (with Applied AI)

Across programs, students gain hands-on exposure through live projects, internships, and practical assignments. This ensures that they graduate not just with academic knowledge, but with real-world experience and a strong portfolio.

Industry-Integrated Learning and Mentorship

At Quad, learning goes beyond textbooks. Students gain access to 50+ mentors from leading organizations, including professionals associated with FAANG, Amazon, Flipkart, Google, and more. These mentors provide insights into how real work happens, how to approach problem-solving, and what companies truly expect from candidates. This level of industry exposure gives students a significant advantage over traditional learning models.

Creating a High-Performance Learning Environment

Quad follows a selective admission process, admitting a limited number of students to maintain a focused and high-quality learning experience.

This isn’t just about exclusivity, it’s about the environment.

Students learn alongside peers who are equally driven, curious, and serious about building their future. This creates a culture where:

Learning is active, not passive
Students push each other to improve
Collaboration and competition go hand in hand

Instead of getting lost in large classrooms, students get more attention, better mentorship, and a stronger sense of direction.

Over time, this kind of environment plays a huge role in shaping confidence, discipline, and long-term growth.

Infact, the limited batch size and high focus approach has led its students to become National Finalists in the first year itself at competitions at IIT Bombay, ISM Dhanbad and BITS Pilani.

Designed Backwards from What Companies Actually Want

Most colleges design courses first—and hope they match industry needs. Quad does the opposite.

They first work with employers to understand exactly what skills companies are hiring for. Only then is the program designed—so students are learning what actually matters in real jobs.

This reverse-engineered approach ensures that students are not preparing blindly. Instead, they build skills that directly align with real roles in companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Google and other leading organizations.

As a result, students graduate not just with knowledge but with practical skills, experience, and a much stronger fit for internships and job opportunities.

Expanding Access to Industry-Aligned Education

Quad is expanding its presence across cities such as Bangalore, Mangalore, and Patna, enabling students to access industry-aligned education across multiple regions.

Bangalore offers proximity to India’s leading technology ecosystem, while emerging hubs like Mangalore and Patna allow Quad to extend high-quality learning opportunities beyond traditional metro centers.

Preparing Students for the Future of Work

As industries continue to evolve, the expectations from graduates are changing rapidly. Success is no longer defined solely by degrees, but by the ability to apply knowledge, solve problems, and adapt to new challenges.

By combining practical learning, industry exposure, and a strong peer ecosystem, Quad is contributing to a broader shift in higher education—one that prioritizes skills, adaptability, and long-term career readiness.

In a compelling and forward-looking address, Dr Tharoor urged graduates to redefine success beyond personal advancement, positioning management education as a foundation for meaningful societal impact. Emphasizing the enduring relevance of values in a rapidly evolving world, he described ethics as a form of long-term capital.

Encouraging graduates to embrace the ‘triple bottom line’ of profit, people, and planet, he noted that while careers built on accumulation may impress, only those anchored in purpose endure. He further underscored that integrity is a strategic asset, and that education serves not as a shield against uncertainty but as a compass guided by empathy, courage, and sound judgment.

Congratulating the graduating cohort, Dr Atish Chattopadhyay, Director of IMT Ghaziabad, reflected on the structural transformations reshaping organisations and societies. He noted that the role of managers is evolving—from controlling processes to collaborating with intelligent systems, from executing plans to navigating ambiguity, and from pursuing efficiency to balancing purpose with performance.

Highlighting a defining institutional shift, he emphasized IMT Ghaziabad’s transition to a Role–Competency framework, aligned with emerging industry realities where organisations increasingly hire for roles rather than generic functions. He noted that this approach is designed to ensure that graduates are ‘role-ready from Day One,’ combining targeted technical capabilities with behavioural and managerial competencies, while retaining the agility required for long-term career evolution.

Reaffirming the institute’s vision of being ‘a professional school contributing to the knowledge economy,’ he highlighted IMT Ghaziabad’s strategic focus on knowledge, innovation, tech-readiness, entrepreneurial mindset, and sustainability. Emphasizing the essence of leadership, he remarked, “Leadership is not a position, but a practice,” adding that the institute is deliberately transforming into a globally engaged, future-ready institution committed to shaping leaders with capability, character, and sound judgment.

As caps soared into the air, the ceremony concluded on a note of pride, celebration, and optimism, marking not just the culmination of an academic journey, but the beginning of a new chapter for the Class of 2026.

Lighting Lives Through Education: KP Group and PP Savani University Launch Urjanoor Scholarship for the Underprivileged

Desk News — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 22:00:18 +0530

Surat (Gujarat) [India], March 30: KP Human Development Foundation, the philanthropic arm of KP Group, in collaboration with PP Savani University, has launched the Urja Noor scholarship programme, aimed at supporting underprivileged students pursuing education in renewable energy and related fields.
The initiative was launched on March 24, the 55th birthday of KP Group Founder, Chairman and Managing Director, Dr. Faruk G. Patel. It will provide fully funded education, including tuition fees, hostel accommodation, meals and transportation, to deserving students enrolled in B. Tech and diploma programmes.

The scholarship program is designed to build a skilled workforce for the clean energy sector while ensuring access to quality education for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. As many as 92 students have already availed themselves of the scholarship, with plans to expand its scale in the coming years. On the same lines, presently 30 students from Botswana take the benefit of this newly launched program. A total of 120 students this year will get the scholarship, out of which 30 will be from Botswana, where KP Group is already investing $4 billion, and will also be enrolled under this initiative.
Commenting on the initiative, KP group CMD Dr. Faruk G. Patel said, “Our aim has always been to support young people who have the potential to succeed but lack access to the right environment. At KP Human Development Foundation, we focus on enabling underprivileged students to pursue their aspirations. The purpose is not just to fund studies, but to nurture skills and talent and build a strong renewable energy workforce for India.”
The Urja Noor scholarship aims to strengthen this vision by creating an inclusive model that provides education as well as job opportunities without any religious, caste or social barriers. It also seeks to go beyond education and ensure long-term financial stability for students.
Sneh Savani, Managing Director, PP Savani University, said, “We want to provide students not only with the means of education but also the means of income after their education. Our responsibility does not end with imparting education, but with how students use it to support themselves and their families. This thinking led to the institution of Urja Noor scholarship in partnership with KP Group.”

For many beneficiaries, the programme marks their first exposure to a university environment, with access to classrooms, laboratories and structured learning. The scholarship ensures a stable ecosystem with accommodation, meals and transport, enabling students to focus on academic and practical skill development in areas of energy, sustainability and technology.

Dr. Parag Sanghani, Provost, PP Savani University, said, “The purpose of education is to ensure a confluence of hands and hearts to prepare the best engineers for the country. This is our small effort in the field of sustainable energy, offering students an opportunity to build careers in this growing sector.”

The programme also includes industry exposure and employment pathways, with a focus on preparing students for careers in the renewable energy sector. KP Human Development Foundation will provide continued mentorship and support throughout the students’ academic journey.
“Our ultimate goal is to ensure that students stand on their own feet, support their families, uplift communities and contribute to the nation’s progress. When a child is educated, a family rises, and when a family rises, society grows, and the nation moves forward,” Dr. Faruk Patel added.
The Urja Noor scholarship programme reflects KP Group’s vision to create a pipeline of skilled talent that will drive the nation’s clean energy transformation.

At the same time, growing awareness around mental health has opened new career avenues in psychotherapy and counseling. GTI’s specialized programs in this field aim to equip learners with the knowledge and practical exposure required to meet this emerging demand.

A defining feature of the institute is its practical approach—nearly 60–70% of training is dedicated to hands-on learning, lab sessions, and real-life case exposure. This ensures that students graduate not just with certificates, but with confidence and competence“

Our mission is to empower individuals through industry-aligned education that directly translates into career opportunities,” said Mrs. Moumita Roy Chowdhury, Principal. “We are focused on creating professionals who are not only academically strong but also practically skilled to meet real-world challenges.”

Echoing this vision, Mrs. Poulami Chowdhury, Vice Principal, added, “Today’s market demands more than theoretical knowledge. At GTI, we emphasize practical exposure, soft skills, and industry interaction so that our students are truly job-ready and can secure meaningful employment.”

Backed by experienced faculty and operating under the Gita Chowdhury Education Society, the institute continues to maintain strong academic standards while adapting to evolving industry needs.

Desk News — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 15:30:07 +0530

Greater Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], March 30: Galgotias University successfully organised its 10th Convocation Ceremony, bringing together distinguished dignitaries, eminent guests, faculty members, parents, and graduating students in a celebration of academic achievement and future aspirations.

The ceremony was graced by Padma Shri Dr. A. S. Kiran Kumar, former Chairman of ISRO, as the Chief Guest. Other notable dignitaries included Padma Shri Uma Shankar Pandey, renowned social activist and water conservationist; Dr. R. G. Agarwal, Chairman Emeritus, Dhanuka Agritech Limited; along with special guests Shri Nagendra Goyal, Joint Commissioner, Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, Government of India, and Mr. Vinit Goenka, Secretary, Centre for Knowledge Sovereignty.

Degrees were conferred upon 73 Ph.D. scholars, 3,953 undergraduate students, 2,250 postgraduate students, 199 diploma holders, and 181 students from integrated programs, marking a significant milestone in their academic journey.

Addressing the graduating students, Chief Guest Dr. A. S. Kiran Kumar emphasised the importance of continuous learning in a rapidly evolving technological world. He noted that while students graduate today, the process of learning must remain lifelong. Highlighting the rapid pace of technological advancement, he urged students to stay adaptable, curious, and future-ready.

SRH University and SAP Labs India Ink Agreement, Extending Strategic Partnership to Bridge German Academic Excellence with India’s Tech Ecosystem

Desk News — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 18:00:10 +0530

Signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with SAP Labs India in Bangalore

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], March 28: SRH University, one of Germany’s leading private universities of applied sciences that serves over 11,000 students from more than 140 countries, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with SAP Labs India, SAP’s largest R&D centre outside its Walldorf headquarters. Grounded in a practice-oriented approach, the partnership aims to equip Indian learners with globally relevant digital competencies while strengthening the exchange of expertise between India and Germany. This opens new avenues for learners across India’s growing digital economy and into the German and international hiring markets.

Dr. Thorsten Bagschik, Managing Director of SRH University, and Sindhu Gangadharan, Managing Director of SAP Labs India, inked the academic-industry partnership in the presence of Jeannine Koch, Member of the Board of SRH University and CEO of medianet berlinbrandenburg. This agreement marks an extension to the SRH – SAP partnership launched in Germany in December 2025. Notably, SAP is already the number-one employer of SRH University graduates in Germany, highlighting how practice-oriented education and academic-industry cooperation can bring tangible career outcomes for students.

SRH University is one of the most popular private universities in Germany for Indian students, with over 2,000 Indian students currently enrolled among more than 140 nationalities on campus. The partnership includes deeper integration of SAP learning content and certifications into existing programmes, as well as the joint development of new degree programmes. Through this partnership, students work with real SAP technologies, live industry projects, and sector-specific applications from the outset, significantly improving their employability in the global digital economy.

“The extension of our existing partnership with SAP SE to India brings together two of the world’s most important hubs of innovation. We are combining our practice-oriented German higher education with the dynamism of the Indian technology markets,” said Dr. Thorsten Bagschik, Managing Director, SRH University.

Sindhu Gangadharan, Managing Director, SAP Labs India, said, “Industry and academia must work closely together to prepare talent for a rapidly evolving digital economy. By extending our partnership with SRH University to India, we are creating new opportunities for students to build enterprise technology skills that are directly relevant to the needs of global businesses. Initiatives like this are central to SAP’s ambition to equip 12 million people with AI-ready skills by 2030 and to build a strong pipeline of future-ready technology talent.”

“Companies today are looking for talent that can bring together processes, data and technology and actively shape change. Universities like SRH University, which integrate SAP competencies hands-on into their study programmes, prepare their graduates specifically for these demands.” said Andre Bechtold, President SAP Industries & Experiences.

The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 delivers a stark forecast. By 2030, automation will eliminate 92 million jobs while creating 170 million new roles. Employers will render 39 per cent of skills they prize today obsolete by the end of the decade. Universities and companies, therefore, face a shared challenge: aligning qualifications more closely with the global demand for digital skills. Through this extended partnership, SAP SE and SRH University address this directly, enabling Indian students to work with real technologies during their studies and acquire applied SAP competencies that translate into stronger career outcomes.

A key foundation for this practice-oriented approach is SRH’s exclusive CORE principle (Competence-Oriented Research and Education). This teaching model relies on project-based learning in small cohorts, where students tackle real-world problems. The integration of SAP content and certifications further enriches this approach with industry-specific competencies.

What This Means for Indian Students

This partnership gives Indian students access to SRH’s SAP-integrated degrees, with certification pathways built in from day one. Students work inside live SAP environments throughout their studies, tackling real enterprise challenges. What they carry out of the classroom is a German degree and an SAP credential that global employers already trust. With this, the opportunity that lies ahead is considerable. Over 25 per cent of all EU Blue Cards issued in 2023 went to Indian nationals.

About SRH University

SRH University is a private university with 18 locations across Germany, nearly 11,000 students from more than 140 countries, and a portfolio of around 120 degree programs. It is part of the non-profit foundation group SRH, one of Germany’s largest providers of education and healthcare. With more than 50 years of experience in higher education, SRH University aims to provide access to high-quality education and train the skilled professionals of tomorrow. SRH University places great importance on openness, diversity, and contemporary educational concepts that combine in-person and online teaching. Together with SRH Distance Learning University and EBS University of Business and Law, more than 20,000 students are currently enrolled at SRH universities.

About SAP Labs India

SAP Labs India is SAP’s largest research and development centre outside Germany, headquartered in Bengaluru with additional presence across India. SAP Labs India plays a central role in developing SAP’s next-generation cloud, AI, and enterprise software solutions, and actively engages with academia to build the digital talent pipeline that the global SAP ecosystem requires.

How Canada, UK and Australia’s New Visa Rules Are Changing the Game for Indian Students in 2026

Desk News — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 20:30:10 +0530

New Delhi [India], March 26: Recent immigration policy changes in Canada, the UK, and Australia are beginning to reshape how Indian students and professionals plan for their first milestone abroad. Whether for study abroad or international career pathways, these aforementioned countries have been the most preferred destinations for Indian applicants. But new regulations are gradually making immigration systems more targeted toward the workforce needs of each country.

Across these destinations, governments are introducing stricter eligibility requirements, higher financial thresholds, and targeted selection systems. The rationale behind these changes is to give preference to applicants whose skills match domestic economic demands. As a result, Indian students and professional cohorts are increasingly required to bolster their profiles in order to remain competitive.

According to Kush Malik, Founder of Transglobal Overseas Education, the recent policy shifts reflect a broader global trend toward skill-based migration systems.

“Countries are increasingly focusing on candidates whose education and professional experience align with their labour market requirements,” Malik said. “While immigration pathways remain open, applicants now need stronger profiles, better planning, and a clearer understanding of policy changes before applying.”

Canada Introduces Changes to Student and Immigration Programs

Canada has recently enacted several changes affecting international students and skilled migrants. In 2024, the country introduced strict, multi-year caps on international study permits with 437,000 permitted in 2025, down from 2024 levels. This was instigated to manage housing pressures and maintain the quality of education for international students.

Alongside changes to study permits, Canada’s Express Entry immigration system has also evolved. The system now conducts category-based selection draws favouring candidates working in sectors facing labour shortages such as healthcare, science and technology, engineering, and skilled trades.

Canada remains one of the most popular destinations for Indian students. According to data from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), more than 427,085 Indian students were studying in Canada in 2025.

As a result, Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores have become increasingly competitive. Many Indian applicants are responding by improving their language test scores, gaining additional work experience, and ensuring that their documentation adheres to immigration standards.

UK Tightens Skilled Worker Visa Rules

The United Kingdom has also introduced significant reforms to its immigration policies. Under updated regulations announced by the UK Home Office, the minimum salary threshold for the Skilled Worker visa has increased significantly, requiring employers to offer higher salaries in order to sponsor foreign workers.

Additionally, the UK government has introduced stricter rules regarding dependent visas for certain categories of international students. These changes form part of a broader effort to control migration while continuing to attract value-creators professionals.

Despite the tightening policies, the UK continues to attract a large number of Indian students. Data from the UK Home Office shows that nearly 118,000 Indian students received study visas in 2022. Additionally, the UK’s sponsored study visa acceptance rate for Indian applicants for the year ending 2025 is 97%, which makes India the largest source of international students in the country.

For Indian graduates and professionals, these changes mean that securing employment opportunities afterstudy in the UK increasingly depends on strong job offers, competitive salaries, and skills aligned with industry demand.

Australia Focuses on Addressing Skill Shortages

Australia has also revised several aspects of its migration framework to resolve workforce deficits in essential industries. The updated migration strategy introduced by the Department of Home Affairs Australia focuses on mobilising skilled professionals to meet domestic demand.

The country has introduced updated occupation lists and stricter skills assessment requirements for applicants seeking skilled migration visas. At the same time, state and territory nomination programs—an important pathway for skilled migrants—continue to evolve depending on regional workforce needs.

Indian students and professionals remain a significant part of Australia’s international education sector, consistently ranking among the largest international student groups in the country.

A More Competitive Global Migration Landscape

Although the policies differ across Canada, the UK, and Australia, a common trend is becoming clear: immigration systems are placing greater emphasis on skills, financial preparedness, and long-term employability.

Mr. Kush Malik believes that applicants who prepare strategically will still find strong opportunities abroad.

“By choosing relevant academic programs, language proficiency, and gaining meaningful work experience, students and professionals who start planning early will continue to remain competitive in the international education and migration arena,” he said.

As international mobility becomes increasingly competitive, experts emphasise that staying informed about policy changes and making well-planned decisions will be essential for Indian applicants seeking opportunities overseas.

NIELIT and Shri Khushal Das University Sign MoU to Boost Skill Development: AI, Cyber Security and Data Science to Reach Rajasthan

Desk News — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 20:30:06 +0530

A five-year partnership with MeitY’s premier tech institution puts national-standard technology education within reach of students in Rajasthan and near by states

Hanumangarh (Rajasthan) [India], March 26: Shri Khushal Das University (SKD University), Hanumangarh, has signed a five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology (NIELIT), New Delhi — an autonomous scientific society under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. The agreement was executed at NIELIT Bhawan, Dwarka, New Delhi on March 20, 2026, and opens a direct pathway for students in Rajasthan to access nationally recognised programmes in Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, Data Science, Internet of Things (IoT), Computer Science, Engineering and Semiconductor Technologies — without leaving their region.

Dr. Alok Tripathi, Director (Scheme/Skilling) and Chief Controller of Examinations, NIELIT, and Dr. Ramawatar Meena, Vice Chancellor, SKD University, signed the MOU on behalf of their respective institutions. Mr. Girish Kumar, Director General, SKD University, along with other senior officials from both organisations, was present at the ceremony.

Under the agreement, the two institutions will jointly design and deliver certification courses, Faculty Development Programmes, workshops, seminars, and training aligned with national skill frameworks and industry standards. NIELIT’s specialised curriculum on Cyber Forensics and Cyber Crime will be introduced for SKD University students on mutually agreed terms. A Centre of Excellence with state-of-the-art laboratories is planned on the university campus, where students will receive not just theoretical instruction but hands-on training. The partnership further provides for collaborative research, co-publications, innovation initiatives, student internships, industrial exposure, and joint participation in government-funded national and international projects. A Joint Coordination Committee will be constituted to oversee implementation and conduct periodic reviews.

Vice Chancellor Dr. Ramawatar Meena called the MOU a turning point for the university and its students. The partnership, he said, would bring NIELIT’s nationally recognised curriculum and government-backed programmes directly to students on campus, with new batches, Faculty Development Programmes, and skill-based courses set to roll out shortly.

Chairperson Mr. Varun Yadav described the MOU as a defining moment for SKD University. “This partnership reflects where SKD University is headed — toward national relevance and global readiness. Our students deserve the best, and we will ensure they get it,” he said.

Managing Director Mr. Dinesh Juneja pointed to the tangible regional impact of the agreement. “Students from Rajasthan and nearby states no longer need to travel to metro cities for quality technology education. We are bringing that opportunity to their doorstep,” he said.

Located at the confluence of Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana, SKD University draws students from across the tri-state region. Through a growing portfolio of national partnerships and institutional reforms, the university has steadily made the case that quality higher education need not remain confined to India’s larger cities. The MOU with NIELIT — a Government of India body with a mandate spanning formal and non-formal education in Information, Electronics and Communications Technology — marks a significant step in that direction, and is expected to strengthen the university’s standing in national ranking frameworks including NIRF.

Your Guide to Finance Certifications at Zell Education with Special Offers

Desk News — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 14:00:18 +0530

New Delhi [India], March 25: Selecting the appropriate finance certification is one of the most significant actions to take when pursuing a career in finance, accounting, investments, and/or management. Candidates reviewing programmes often consider similarities in the content of programmes, their cost-effectiveness and how they will add to their overall value as a finance professional when deciding what programme to enrol in.

The first step for many candidates looking to pursue the ACCA course fees and the CMA Foundation syllabus information is determining whether those types of certifications will help them move forward in their careers.

Zell Education has positioned itself to act as a complete partner for students pursuing international finance certifications. This includes providing students with ACCA and CMA, CPA, CFA, and FRM; and structured educational training through mentorship and placement-related learning to prepare graduates to begin careers in global finance.

Understanding ACCA Course Fees and Career Value

The acca global is one of the qualifications recognised internationally as a standard for developing proficiency in audit, taxation, accountancy, and finance. For ACCA candidates, there are frequently asked questions regarding how much it costs to do an ACCA course.

Fees associated with an ACCA course are generally made up of an application fee, an annual registration fee which is valid for a period of 1 year and must be paid each year thereafter to maintain registered status, the examination fee that is dependent on the number of examinations taken and coaching costs which may either be incorporated into the overall cost of the course or charged separately.

By using structured training programmes, aspiring ACCA students are usually guided in their preparation, study support, and career progress towards completing the qualification through structured preparation methods, reducing the costs associated with repeated examination attempts.

Students taking ACCA courses with Zell Education are taught by highly experienced tutors using a structured approach to learning that provides industry-relevant, case-based, and project-based methods of teaching.

CMA Foundation Syllabus: What Students Should Expect

The CMA Foundation syllabus is based on fundamental concepts that allow students to learn the way Businesses run, as well as how Financial Data assists in making Business Decisions. There are different areas of study within the syllabus: Accounting Fundamentals, Economics, Quantitative methods and Business Law. Each of the areas will provide students with a strong foundation for the next level of CMA.

Students who are studying through the CMA pathway will benefit by learning about concepts that will directly correlate to their future careers in Corporate Finance or Management Accounting.
Students will learn how to analytically evaluate data, develop budgets, manage their performance and make strategic decisions.
Zell Education provides students with the necessary tools to adequately prepare for the CMA Foundation syllabus through a structured approach to instruction.
Through this structured approach, students develop an understanding of the concepts based on their real-life experiences and in line with what will be on the CMA exams.

CMA Special Offer for New Registrations

To enhance the availability of CMA certification for new candidates, we have introduced an ongoing limited-time benefit:

New CMA Registrations (Before 27 March)

Students who complete their registration for CMA before 27 March can receive up to 60% off the cost of the exam when fees are paid by that date.
Students who do not pay by 27 March will receive a 15% discount on their exam fees. This offer will be available until 30 June 2026.

This is a huge opportunity for candidates to decrease the total cost of certification while starting early.

Other Global Finance Courses Offered by Zell Education

Many candidates compare the costs of taking an ACCA course vs. the Syllabus of the CMA Foundation. However, many other certifications can help build finance specialists within each of these different career paths. Zell Education has created many global career paths that can be obtained from various programmes.

1. Certificate Public Accountant (CPA)

The CPA qualification is a good option for those interested in accounting, auditing, taxation, and financial reporting based on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The CPA designation will be valuable to anyone who wants to work for multinational organisations, working with the “Big 4” firms, and/or supporting a global accounting practice.

2. Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA)

The CFA program prepares individuals for a career in investment banking, portfolio management, equity research, and financial analysis. The CFA program emphasises the use of investment tools, the valuation of investments, the management of portfolios, and an understanding of financial markets.

3. Financial Risk Manager (FRM)

The certification of FRM is for those interested in risk management, banking, treasury, and/or financial risk analysis. Risk management focuses on the following areas of risk: market risk, credit risk, operational risk, and risk modelling.

Why Students Choose Zell Education for Finance Certifications

Prior to deciding if a finance certification program is a good fit for them, students typically consider various aspects surrounding their selection of a finance certification program such as:

Zell Education provides a structured learning environment that supports both academic success and career development.

Some of the key benefits of this certification program are:

Professional instructors from the finance business
Structured study plan and exam prep support
Doubt-solving sessions and revision classes
Placement assistance and career services
Flexible learning for students and working professionals
Real-life example-based (case method) curriculum.

By taking advantage of these attributes, students will learn not only the theoretical aspects of finance but also how to apply those principles in the real world.

Start Your Global Finance Career with the Right Guidance

The demand for finance professionals who have world-recognised options for qualifications is on the rise. This means international qualifications such as ACCA and CMA will continue to see increased popularity.

By knowing ACCA course fees and the CMA Foundation syllabus, students can create an informed choice when it comes to entering their future careers.

Zell Education will provide these students with structured learning, help from experienced mentors, and career-specific training on many different finance qualifications. The special offer to register for the CMA at this point in time has given students a chance to begin their finance career at a lower cost with direction.

How VIBGYOR World Junior Ensures Safety and Emotional Wellbeing in Early Childhood Education

Desk News — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 18:30:07 +0530

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], March 25: As parents increasingly prioritise safety, hygiene, and emotional wellbeing in early childhood education, preschools across the country are re-evaluating how they support children during their first school experience. Education experts highlight that a child’s initial exposure to structured learning environments plays a critical role in shaping confidence, emotional security, and long-term learning habits.

Recognising this need, VIBGYOR World Junior continues to focus on creating a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate preschool environment designed specifically for young learners.

Safety as the Foundation of Early Learning

For preschool-aged children, safety extends beyond physical infrastructure. Secure campuses, supervised classrooms, and child-friendly spaces are essential in helping children feel protected and comfortable in a new environment.

At VIBGYOR World Junior, safety protocols are embedded into everyday operations. From secure entry and exit systems to constant adult supervision, campuses are designed to ensure that children remain within a protected and closely monitored environment throughout the school day.

Education specialists note that when children feel physically safe, they are more likely to explore, participate, and engage positively with peers and teachers.

Trained Educators Supporting Emotional Development

Early childhood educators play a vital role in helping children transition smoothly from home to school. Trained teachers who understand child psychology are better equipped to manage separation anxiety, encourage social interaction, and respond to individual emotional needs.

VIBGYOR World Junior places strong emphasis on trained early childhood educators who combine professional expertise with warmth and sensitivity. Teachers focus on building trust and consistency, helping children feel secure while gradually developing independence and confidence.

According to early learning experts, such emotionally responsive teaching approaches are key to a child’s overall wellbeing during the formative preschool years.

Structured Routines That Create Stability

Predictable daily routines are another important factor in early childhood education. Structured schedules help children understand expectations, reduce anxiety, and develop a sense of stability.

Preschools that follow a balanced routine—integrating play-based learning, creative activities, rest, and social interaction—are more effective in supporting emotional regulation and positive behaviour. VIBGYOR World Junior follows structured yet flexible routines that allow children to thrive at their own pace.

Hygiene and Healthy Habits from an Early Age

In today’s context, hygiene has become a significant concern for parents choosing a preschool. Clean classrooms, sanitised play areas, and guided hygiene practices contribute to a healthy learning environment.

VIBGYOR World Junior integrates hygiene practices into daily routines, helping children develop healthy habits while ensuring a clean and safe campus environment.

A Thoughtful Approach to a Child’s First School Experience

Experts agree that preschool education should prioritise emotional security alongside learning outcomes. A nurturing environment during the early years helps children build resilience, curiosity, and a positive attitude towards education.

By focusing on safety, trained educators, structured routines, and emotional wellbeing, VIBGYOR World Junior aims to provide children with a confident and reassuring start to their educational journey—one where learning begins with trust, care, and comfort.

In line with its early childhood philosophy, VIBGYOR Group of Schools ensures continuity of care and quality education as children progress into formal schooling through VIBGYOR High School. The group’s K-12 institutions build upon the strong emotional and developmental foundations established at the preschool level, offering a seamless transition into structured academic learning. Parents exploring long-term schooling options can learn more about the group’s holistic approach, academic framework, and nationwide presence on VIBGYOR High official website, which further reinforces the brand’s commitment to consistent quality education across all stages of a child’s journey.

Step-by-Step Guide to Enrolling in the Best CBSE Schools in Mumbai

Desk News — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 23:00:35 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 20: Enrolling your child in a CBSE school in Mumbai can feel complicated because you are balancing academics, distance, timelines, and documentation all at once. The simplest way to handle it is to follow a clear sequence, so you are making decisions in the right order and not rushing at the last moment. This step-by-step guide will help you plan your admission journey with more clarity and less stress.

Step 1: Fix Your Must-Have Requirements Before You Call Any School

Before you start enquiries, decide what matters most for your family. This prevents you from being swayed by features that look impressive but do not fit your routine.

Focus on:

Commute comfort and realistic travel time.
Your preferred learning approach, concept clarity and regular practice.
Co-curricular exposure is part of the routine.
Safety systems, supervision, and predictable parent communication.

Step 2: Build a Shortlist That Matches Your Locality

Mumbai admissions often become easier when you shortlist by area first. A great school that requires an exhausting daily commute can quickly become difficult for a child to sustain. When comparing the best CBSE schools in Mumbai, treat commute and daily schedule as core selection criteria.

Step 3: Use the Enquiry Call to Filter Quickly

Your first call should not be a long conversation. It should help you confirm whether the school is worth visiting.

Ask clearly about:

The admission process flow for your child’s grade.
Documents required and when they are needed.
How the school handles parent interaction and child interaction, if applicable.
Transport availability and communication practices.

Step 4: Visit With a Simple Evaluation Plan

A campus visit is where you verify what brochures cannot prove. Focus on the spaces your child will use daily, and the routines that affect comfort and safety.

What to Look at First

Classrooms that feel organised and learning-first.
Labs, library, and activity spaces that look actively used.
Supervision during movement, corridors, and common areas.
Clean washrooms, drinking water access, and general upkeep.

Step 5: Ask About Learning Support and Progress Tracking

Many parents only ask about facilities. Instead, ask how the school supports learning in the real world.

Good questions include:

What happens if a child needs extra support in Maths or Languages?
How is progress shared with parents throughout the year?
How are projects, activities, and co-curricular learning scheduled?

Step 6: Prepare Your Documents Early and Submit Calmly

Most delays happen because documents are scattered. Keep a neat folder ready so submission feels easy.

Schools commonly request:

Child’s age proof and photographs.
Parent identity and address details.
Previous school records were applicable.

Step 7: Finalise Only After Checking Daily Operations

Before you commit, re-check the everyday factors that decide how smoothly your child will settle.

Confirm:

Dispersal routine and on-ground supervision.
Transport handover responsibility and update the system.
Communication channels for announcements and urgent updates.

Final Thoughts

The best admissions decisions are made with structure, not urgency. If you shortlist by fit, verify teaching and routines during the visit, and keep documents ready early, enrolling in the best CBSE schools in Mumbai becomes a far more manageable process.

Exploring the Learning Environment at Texila American University’s Guyana Medical Campus

Desk News — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 23:00:28 +0530

New Delhi [India], March 24: Medical education is often discussed in terms of degrees, examinations, and professional outcomes. Yet behind these measurable milestones lies another important factor: the learning environment where future doctors are trained. The atmosphere of a medical campus, the way students interact with faculty, the exposure they receive in laboratories and hospitals, and the diversity of their peers all shape how they develop as healthcare professionals.

At Texila American University, the Guyana campus provides a setting where academic discipline, international diversity, and practical medical training come together. Rather than focusing solely on classroom instruction, the campus environment reflects a broader effort to prepare students for the responsibilities and realities of modern medical practice.

A Campus Built Around Medical Training

Walking through Texila’s Guyana campus, it becomes clear that the environment has been structured specifically to support medical education. Laboratories, lecture halls, learning spaces, and student facilities are arranged in a way that supports both academic study and practical learning. Medical training requires more than theoretical instruction, and the campus infrastructure reflects that requirement.

Laboratories play a central role in the early stages of medical education. Students spend considerable time studying anatomy, physiology, and other foundational sciences that form the basis of clinical practice. Access to laboratories and learning resources allows them to observe and understand complex biological systems before they begin interacting with patients.

Libraries and digital learning platforms complement this environment. Medical education relies heavily on continuous reading and reference material, and access to journals, textbooks, and research databases helps students remain connected to current medical knowledge.

A Multinational Student Community

One of the defining characteristics of the Guyana campus is its international student population. Students arrive from different parts of the world, bringing with them varied cultural backgrounds, languages, and healthcare perspectives. This diversity shapes daily academic life in ways that extend beyond lectures.

Classroom discussions often include viewpoints influenced by different healthcare systems. A conversation about public health or patient care might include perspectives from multiple countries, allowing students to consider medical challenges from more than one angle. This exposure helps broaden their understanding of how healthcare operates globally.

Living and studying alongside peers from other cultures also builds important interpersonal skills. Medical professionals frequently work in diverse teams and treat patients from varied backgrounds. Learning to communicate effectively and respectfully across cultures becomes an essential part of medical training.

Faculty Engagement Beyond the Lecture Hall

Faculty members at Texila’s Guyana campus play roles that go beyond traditional classroom teaching. In many cases, educators serve as mentors, academic guides, and professional role models. Students interact with faculty during lectures, laboratory sessions, discussions, and academic consultations.

This level of interaction supports a learning environment where questions are encouraged, and guidance is accessible. Medical education can be demanding, and having faculty members who engage with students regularly helps maintain academic focus and confidence.

Many faculty members bring experience from different healthcare systems and academic institutions. Their perspectives often enrich classroom discussions, providing insights into clinical practices and professional expectations in various parts of the world.

Learning That Connects Theory and Practice

Medical education requires students to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical application. At Texila’s Guyana campus, this transition begins gradually during the academic program. Early coursework focuses on understanding the scientific principles that underpin medicine.

As students progress, they begin to apply this knowledge through clinical exposure and practical learning. Observing patient care, understanding diagnostic processes, and interacting with healthcare professionals help students see how classroom concepts translate into real medical decisions.

This connection between theory and practice is central to the learning environment. Rather than treating academic study and clinical experience as separate stages, the campus culture encourages students to view them as interconnected elements of medical training.

The Role of Technology in Medical Learning

Technology has become a vital component of modern medical education, and Texila integrates digital resources into the student learning experience. Learning management systems provide students with convenient access to course materials, assignments, and academic resources. Digital libraries and online research databases provide access to current medical literature. This exposure helps students develop habits of evidence-based learning, encouraging them to explore new research and stay informed about developments in medicine.

Technology also supports communication between students and faculty. Online platforms make it easier to share feedback, discuss academic questions, and manage coursework efficiently.

Life Beyond the Classroom

While academic training remains the central focus, campus life also contributes to the overall learning environment. Student activities, social interactions, and informal discussions often provide opportunities to reflect on academic experiences and build lasting professional relationships.

Living in Guyana exposes students to a new cultural and geographic setting. For many international students, studying in the Caribbean region represents their first experience living abroad. Adjusting to a different environment encourages independence, adaptability, and resilience.

These personal qualities often become just as important as academic knowledge in medical careers. Doctors regularly work under pressure, adapt to changing circumstances, and communicate with patients from varied backgrounds. The campus experience helps students begin developing these skills early.

Preparing Students for Professional Responsibility

A medical campus is not only a place of learning but also a place where professional habits begin to form. Students are expected to approach their studies with discipline, responsibility, and respect for the ethical standards of healthcare.

At Texila’s Guyana campus, the academic structure encourages this mindset. Regular assessments, clinical exposure, and interaction with faculty reinforce the idea that medical education carries significant responsibility. Students gradually begin to see themselves not just as learners but as future healthcare professionals.

This shift in perspective is an important part of the learning environment. Understanding the impact of medical decisions and patient care prepares students for the seriousness of their future roles.

A Learning Environment Shaped by Purpose

Every medical campus develops its own character, shaped by its students, faculty, and institutional philosophy. At Texila’s Guyana campus, the learning environment reflects a commitment to academic discipline, international collaboration, and practical medical training.

Students studying here experience more than a sequence of lectures and examinations. They participate in a structured environment where knowledge, clinical exposure, cultural exchange, and professional development intersect. For many aspiring doctors, this environment becomes the foundation on which their medical careers are built.

By combining academic rigor, an international student community, and practical learning opportunities, Texila’s Guyana campus provides an environment where future doctors can begin developing the skills and perspective required for modern medical practice.

Mapping the World from Gujarat: Navrachana University and Heritage Trust Launch Parekh Lecture Series

Desk News — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 10:30:27 +0530

“Mapping the World from Gujarat” by Dr. Samira Sheikh. First edition of the Parekh Lecture Series

Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], March 18: Navrachana University, in collaboration with Heritage Trust, hosted an illustrated lecture titled “Mapping the World from Gujarat” by Dr. Samira Sheikh. The event marked the first edition of the Parekh Lecture Series at Navrachana University and was also presented as a Viraasat Lecture by the Heritage Trust.

Smt. Tejal Amin, Chairperson of Navrachana Education Society and member of the Board of Management, Navrachana University, said, “Such lectures are very important for the city and society, as they bring in different disciplinary perspectives from history, arts, urban studies, and geography, at one place. I am very glad that Navrachana University, as part of the Parekh Lecture Series, has hosted this important lecture, and once again, I am very grateful to Lord Bhikhu Bhai Parekh for a generous book donation. I am sure Navrachana University will attract a lot of scholars who would come to our library to conduct research.”

The lecture was graced by Chief Guest Lord Bhikhu Parekh, in whose honour the Parekh Lecture Series has been instituted. Lord Parekh also generously donated his personal book collection to the Navrachana University Library, significantly enriching its academic resources.

Dr. Sheikh, Associate Professor of History at Vanderbilt University and the Obaid Siddique Chair (2025–26) at National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bengaluru, is also a distinguished alumna of the Navrachana campus. In her keynote lecture, Dr. Sheikh presented three central arguments that reframed the understanding of mapping traditions in India. First, she proposed that mapping should be understood as a living tradition and practice, rather than merely a technical or scientific product. Second, she highlighted Gujarati communities as historically active traveller and navigators whose trade networks extended across regions, including Afghanistan, East Africa, and South Asia. Third, she compared European scientific cartography with Indian mapping traditions, demonstrating how Indian maps often prioritized narrative detail, cultural context, and ecological knowledge over strict scale or proportion.

Through examples ranging from Jain cosmological diagrams and Mughal route scrolls to the sophisticated eighteenth-century nautical charts of Kutch, Dr. Sheikh illustrated the diversity of mapping traditions in India. She explained that while modern audiences often associate maps with standardized atlases or digital platforms such as Google Maps, earlier Indian maps frequently depicted landscapes through narrative elements, cities, temples, trees, animals, and water bodies, often accompanied by explanatory texts and travel instructions.

The lecture also brought to life remarkable historical tales, including that of a Buddhist mariner from Bharuch and the Yantraraja, an astronomical instrument used by Jain monks to measure latitude. Professor Sheikh also explained how Gujarati seafarers, including those who helped Vasco da Gama, relied on grid-based navigational systems and extensive botanical knowledge to travel across the Indian Ocean.

Highlighting a mid-eighteenth-century mural map preserved at the Baroda Museum and Picture Gallery, she demonstrated that Indian cartography represented a sophisticated synthesis of mathematical astronomy, artistic expression, and practical navigation. Dr. Sheikh concluded by urging audiences to view maps not as static objects but as dynamic processes of knowledge-making. By integrating Jain cosmological thought, Mughal administrative mapping, and the practical travel charts of merchants and sailors, Gujarat developed a unique knowledge system that sustained centuries of global trade and cultural exchange.

Reflecting on the insights shared during the lecture and Professor Sheikh’s association with the Navrachana campus, Provost Prof. Pratyush Shankar remarked,

“A map, much like science, cannot exist without a fair understanding of people and societies. It is not only about geography or history; it also speaks of economies, business, literature, and art. In many ways, maps bring together the entire domain of social sciences and humanities. Universities, therefore, remain incomplete without such interdisciplinary ways of understanding the world.”

The lecture offered audiences a renewed perspective on Gujarat’s intellectual and maritime heritage, reaffirming the region’s long-standing engagement with the wider world.

Highlighting the role of the pharmaceutical sector during the pandemic, he remarked, During the COVID-19 pandemic, when most sectors were shut, the pharmaceutical industry continued working relentlessly to ensure the availability of life-saving medicines and vaccines. This dedication truly demonstrated the invaluable role pharmacists play in safeguarding global health.”

Dr. Patel highlighted the national outreach of the initiative and said, Through 25 Pharma Anveshan programmes organised across India, we aim to create awareness among students about the vast career opportunities in the pharmaceutical sector and the government’s initiatives to keep pace with this rapidly evolving field. The platform also enables students to interact with industry experts, gain valuable insights, and bridge the gap between academia and industry.”

He further added, ” The PCI is actively strengthening pharmacy education and practice through skill development programmes, curriculum reforms aligned with the National Education Policy 2020, technology-driven inspections, and initiatives such as GPAT scholarships, national exit examinations, and clinical pharmacy training, ensuring pharmacists in India are well-equipped for the evolving healthcare ecosystem.”

Addressing the students, Lalit Goel said, Earlier, only 17 medical devices were covered under regulatory rules, but with the new Medical Device Regulations, more than 5,000 devices are now included in different categories. This expansion highlights the tremendous growth and career potential of the medical devices industry and the scope for pharmacy students in medical devices.

A key highlight of the event was a panel discussion featuring eminent experts from the pharmaceutical industry and academia, moderated by Dr. Vijay Bhalla, Registrar, SGT University. The panel deliberated on emerging trends, regulatory developments, and the role of innovation and collaboration in shaping the future of the pharmaceutical sector.

The event also included “Chaai Pe Charcha,” an open interactive session that enabled meaningful interaction among industry representatives, academicians, and students. A parallel principals’ meeting with representatives from the PCI and state pharmacy councils facilitated discussions on strengthening pharmacy education and regulatory coordination in the Delhi-NCR region.

Participants also showcased their research and innovation through poster presentations, patents, and innovation displays, highlighting novel ideas and technological advancements in pharmaceutical sciences.

The valedictory session concluded with oral presentations, prize distribution, and a vote of thanks, celebrating the contributions of students, researchers, and industry partners.

IIM Calcutta, TimesPro Launch 32nd Batch of Executive Programme in Business Management to Build Strategic, Future-Ready Leaders

Desk News — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 14:30:08 +0530

A 12-month blended executive education programme designed for mid-to-senior professionals to sharpen strategy, leadership, and decision-making through digital learning and immersive campus modules.

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], March 10: The Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIM Calcutta), in collaboration with TimesPro, has announced the launch of the 32nd batch of its flagship Executive Programme in Business Management (EPBM). The 12-month blended learning programme equips professionals with essential capabilities in strategy, leadership development, and high-stakes decision-making, enabling organisations to respond to rapid technological and organisational change while helping learners reset and accelerate their leadership agendas.

Designed for mid-to-senior professionals and emerging leaders, EPBM helps learners analyse business models in the context of broader environmental, political, and social realities. The programme strengthens the skills and judgement required to operate as an effective manager, challenges preconceptions to unlock new ideas, and builds the ability to lead and deliver change by responding to the dynamic expectations of internal and external stakeholders with clear strategic direction.

Over the years, the Executive Programme in Business Management has consistently drawn an experienced cohort, with over 40% of participants bringing more than 15 years of work experience. The programme attracts senior professionals, Senior Managers, Directors, Vice Presidents, General Managers, COOs, and Consultants, from sectors such as IT, BFSI, automotive, FMCG, healthcare, logistics, hospitality, and e-commerce. EPBM remains a preferred route for managers who want to step up into broader enterprise leadership responsibilities.

As organisations navigate rapid technological shifts, polarised workplaces, and heightened stakeholder expectations, leadership capability has become a differentiator, yet trust and readiness continue to erode. DDI’s Global Leadership Forecast 2025 notes a sharp fall in trust in immediate managers and warns of rising pressure on leaders, including a sizeable proportion who contemplate leaving leadership roles altogether. The World Economic Forum echoes this urgency, arguing that traditional leadership models no longer match today’s complexity and calling for a redesign of leadership systems—selection, development, decision-making, and legacy, so leaders can rebuild trust and deliver change with credibility.

Speaking at the announcement, Prof. Ritu Mehta and Prof. Megha Sharma, Joint programme director, EPBM, said, “The Executive Programme in Business Management equips experienced professionals to step back from functional silos and lead with enterprise-wide judgement. Through rigorous learning in strategy, finance, marketing, operations, and leadership, learners strengthen decision-making, stakeholder orientation, and change capability, skills that organisations today need amid technological disruption and shifting expectations. We designed this 32nd batch to deliver immediate relevance and lasting impact.”

Sridhar Nagarajachar, Business Head – Executive Education, TimesPro, said, “Leaders cannot rely on experience alone when trust, speed, and complexity redefine business. With the EPBM, we bring a blended learning journey that fits demanding schedules while preserving classroom rigour through on-campus modules, simulations and peer learning. This helps managers translate frameworks into action from day one, sharpen strategic thinking and build confidence to steer teams through ambiguity and transformation.”

The EPBM curriculumv offers a robust exploration of foundational and advanced domains, including Financial Reporting & Cost Accounting, Marketing, Operations, Leadership and People Skills, Strategic Management, Decision-Making, Digital Transformation and Business Analytics, among others. Through a blend of rigorous pedagogy, simulations, peer engagement, and faculty insights, participants build the mindset and capability to move from functional excellence to agile business leadership. The programme also includes a capstone project in which learners collaborate to address real-world business challenges and apply the theories and frameworks covered across the programme.

TimesPro delivers the programme through its Direct-to-Device learning platform and complements the digital learning experience with two immersive five-day campus modules at IIM Calcutta. These modules enable deeper peer learning, richer faculty engagement, and meaningful professional networking. Applicants must hold a recognised bachelor’s degree with a minimum of 50% marks and must also bring at least five years of full-time work experience after graduation.

About the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta:

Established in November 1961 by the Government of India in collaboration with Alfred P. Sloan School of Management (MIT), the Government of West Bengal, the Ford Foundation, and Indian Industry.

With the Government of India’s Urban Challenge Fund encouraging cities to prepare investment-ready and bankable urban projects, there is a growing need for senior officials to adopt integrated planning, innovative financing, and climate-resilient design approaches.

In response to this emerging demand, CEPT Professional Programs (CPP) at CEPT University has launched a specialised Leaders Program on Creative Redevelopment of Cities (CRC), aimed at equipping urban decision-makers with the knowledge and tools required to reimagine existing cities, unlock land and infrastructure potential, and deliver future-ready, sustainable urban development.

The programme is designed as India’s first dedicated professional development course focused on the creative redevelopment of cities, responding to the growing need for innovative approaches to transform existing urban areas through strategic planning, infrastructure renewal, and climate-responsive design.

Speaking about the program, Dr. Sejal Patel, Program Lead, CRC, said, “The five-day programme will introduce participants to global examples of successful city transformation, including adaptive reuse and waterfront regeneration initiatives in cities such as large-scale urban redevelopment strategies implemented in Japan, Germany, South Africa and East Asia. These international experiences will be discussed alongside Indian case studies to provide practical insights relevant to city governments and private sector finance mobilisation across the country.”

The Leaders Program is particularly suited for senior and mid-level officials from the Private Sector Agencies engaged in Urban Redevelopment, Urban Development Departments, Municipal Corporations, Development Authorities, State Town Planning Departments and International Financial Institutes.

Due to the interactive format of the course, participation will be limited, and government departments and institutions are encouraged to nominate suitable officers at the earliest.

RDash and NICMAR University, Hyderabad launch industry-integrated digital construction management learning program

Desk News — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 12:30:18 +0530

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], March 09: NICMAR University of Construction Studies (NUCS), Hyderabad, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with RDash, an AI-powered construction management software, to equip students with industry-ready digital project management capabilities and real-world construction execution skills.

The MoU was signed on 25 February 2026 at the NICMAR University Hyderabad campus in the presence of senior leadership from both institutions, followed by a formal launch event where RDash leadership addressed students directly on the future of AI-driven construction management.

“At NICMAR, our focus has always been on industry-aligned education for the built environment sector. Partnering with RDash enables our students to engage with contemporary digital construction practices and strengthens their readiness for evolving industry expectations,” said the Vice Chancellor, NICMAR University, Hyderabad.

Under this three-year collaboration, all NICMAR University, Hyderabad students across programs will receive enterprise access to the RDash platform throughout their course duration and for 12 months after course completion — ensuring continuity of learning as they transition into their professional careers. The initiative also includes the launch of a dedicated RDash Students’ Guide, a practical learning resource grounded in real construction case studies and practical insights from industry veterans, designed to give students an immediate working understanding of how construction projects are executed on the ground.

“Hands-on exposure to enterprise construction management platforms and real project scenarios significantly enhances student learning. This collaboration integrates practical digital workflows into academic training and prepares our graduates for technology-enabled project environments,” added the Dean-Executive Education, Industry Relations & Placements, NICMAR University, Hyderabad.

Preparing students for the AI-driven future of construction

A defining pillar of this collaboration is RDash’s commitment to AI literacy for the next generation of construction professionals. Construction is at an inflection point — repetitive site reporting, procurement tracking, cost monitoring, and progress documentation are increasingly being handled by AI, fundamentally reshaping what project managers will be expected to do.

As part of the engagement, RDash will deliver dedicated AI-focused workshops covering three critical questions every future construction professional needs to answer: which construction jobs and workflows are getting automated first, how AI will reshape career trajectories in project management and site execution, and what students can do today to position themselves ahead of the disruption rather than behind it.

These workshops will be complemented by hands-on exposure to RDash AI — RDash’s proprietary AI layer that is actively shaping how construction businesses manage projects, predict delays, control costs, and drive decisions in real time. Students will learn not just how to use the platform, but why AI-augmented project management is becoming the baseline expectation across contractors, developers, and infrastructure companies globally.

“Construction is undergoing a fundamental shift toward data-driven, digitally managed project delivery. The question for the next generation isn’t whether AI will change their jobs

— it’s whether they’ll be equipped to lead that change or simply adapt to it. Through our collaboration with NICMAR University, Hyderabad, we want every student who goes through this program to graduate with both the practical skills and the AI fluency to be a force multiplier on any project they touch,” said Amit Bansal, CEO, RDash.

Structured learning, certification, and a direct path to global opportunities

RDash will deliver a four-part annual industry curriculum — one session per quarter — covering end-to-end construction management, BOQ-driven execution, digitisation of construction businesses, and AI’s role in shaping the future of the industry. The year culminates in a “Smart Project Manager” capstone case competition, evaluated by esteemed industry professionals, where participants will receive certificates of participation, and top performers will receive special recognition.

Critically, certificate holders from the RDash case competition will automatically qualify for consideration with RDash’s top clients in the UAE and other international markets — creating a direct, structured pathway from the NICMAR campus to global career opportunities. RDash will actively redirect its premium international clients to hire from this certified talent pool.

“This isn’t just a software access program. We’re building a pipeline of construction professionals who understand AI, think systematically, and are ready to deliver on real projects from day one. That’s the kind of talent our clients in India and the UAE are actively looking for,” added Amit Bansal.

About the Collaboration

The NICMAR–RDash collaboration is designed as an ongoing industry engagement platform to develop Construction 4.0-ready professionals through:

Enterprise RDash platform access for all students — during studies and 12 months post-completion
Launch of the RDash Students’ Guide covering construction fundamentals and real-world case studies
Quarterly industry workshop series, including dedicated AI literacy and RDash AI sessions
Hands-on exposure to AI-powered construction management workflows
Digital project management certifications
Industry-evaluated “Smart Project Manager” capstone competition
Fast-track hiring consideration with RDash’s UAE and international client network for competition certificate holders

The MoU will be implemented across NICMAR University, Hyderabad’s built environment programs.

The Global Edge: Why an International Curriculum is the Best Gift You Can Give Your Child Today

Desk News — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 17:00:19 +0530

New Delhi [India], March 09: Today, your child’s early learning needs to do more than cover letters and numbers. It needs to build curiosity, foster clear communication, and enable learning with others. That is why many families explore an international preschool in India when they want a wider learning approach from the start.

This blog explains what an international curriculum means, how it supports global readiness and skills, and what to consider before deciding if it suits your child.

What Does an International Curriculum Really Mean?

An international curriculum is a structured programme used across different countries and schools. It sets age-appropriate learning goals and focuses on understanding rather than memorisation. In the early years, learning is usually built around language, early maths, creativity, movement, and social skills through guided activities.

When parents consider an international preschool in India, they often look closely at how teachers support curiosity, routines, and steady progress.

How International Education Prepares Children for a Global World

A global outlook begins with everyday classroom habits. International programmes often focus on communication, collaboration, and openness to new ideas.

Builds clear speaking and careful listening
Encourages curiosity through questions and discussion
Supports teamwork with shared tasks and turn-taking
Strengthens adaptability by linking ideas across subjects

Why Skill-Based Learning Matters More Than Rote Learning

Skill-based learning helps children apply knowledge rather than merely repeat it, supporting deeper understanding over time.

Develops reasoning through simple problem-solving steps
Improves memory by connecting ideas to meaning
Builds language by explaining answers in full sentences
Supports progress through feedback and practice

How International Curricula Build Confidence and Independent Thinking

Confidence grows when children are guided to try, adjust, and try again. International classrooms often support this with clear routines and supportive teaching.

Encourages independence through age-appropriate choices
Builds resilience by treating mistakes as part of learning
Supports self-expression through speaking and creative work
Develops self-management through planning and completing tasks

Academic Flexibility and Global Recognition

International curricula are often organised in clear stages, which can help families understand what comes next as children move through school. This structure may support smoother transitions between schools and learning pathways.

Recognition depends on the curriculum and the level, so it is important to review how assessment works and how learning outcomes align with future education plans, including within India.

How Early Exposure Creates a Strong Learning Foundation

Early childhood shapes language, attention, and social skills. International early-years programmes often combine guided play with structured activities, helping children learn to listen, follow directions, and complete tasks with care.

Over time, these habits can support reading readiness, clearer expression, and better concentration. Strong foundations also reduce stress when academic demands increase later.

Is an International Curriculum the Right Choice for Every Child?

An international curriculum can suit many children, but fit matters. Consider your child’s temperament, learning support needs, and comfort with new environments, along with your family’s longer-term plans.

Also, review how teachers support different learning speeds and how emotional well-being is managed alongside academics. The right choice is one where your child feels secure, appropriately challenged, and steadily supported at home and in school.

Conclusion

An international curriculum can be a valuable asset because it aims to build strong fundamentals alongside communication, adaptability, and independent learning habits. The real difference comes from the quality of daily instruction and how well the approach matches your child’s needs. When those elements align, children can grow into confident learners with a wider outlook and steady academic readiness.

The Reality of Studying Abroad: Challenges and Smart Solutions

Desk News — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 17:00:13 +0530

New Delhi [India], March 09: Studying abroad offers students a unique chance to immerse themselves in new cultures, gain global exposure, and develop essential life skills. Yet, this trans-formative experience often comes with unforeseen hurdles before, during, and after the journey. By recognizing these challenges and preparing strategically, students can turn potential obstacles into opportunities for growth.

At Edu Masters, we believe that proper preparation helps students confidently navigate these challenges and make the most of their global education journey.

Preparing Before You Travel

Thorough preparation extends far beyond securing admission. Start with practical essentials: obtain a valid passport, apply for the appropriate student visa early, and research the host country’s customs, traditions, and social norms. For instance, in Japan, bowing is a common greeting, while in the Middle East, modest dress may be expected in public spaces. Consider how your cultural background, gender, religion, or personal identity might influence interactions. Review local laws on topics like alcohol consumption or public behavior to avoid issues.

Academic and financial planning are crucial. Consult resources like Edu Masters to confirm that credits earned abroad transfer to your home institution. Budget carefully for tuition, housing, food, and transportation. University cost calculators can provide realistic estimates.

Health and safety preparations include verifying insurance coverage. Many programs offer basic plans, but supplement with comprehensive travel insurance for emergencies. Check regulations on medications through resources like the destination country’s embassy website. Mentally, set realistic expectations: read accounts from past students on forums like Reddit’s studyAbroad to anticipate homesickness or isolation.

Adjusting While Living Abroad

Arrival often brings an initial thrill, quickly tempered by culture shock. Language barriers, unfamiliar foods, differing academic expectations (for example, more independent learning in the U.S. versus lecture-based systems elsewhere), and social norms can overwhelm. Combat this by pacing yourself. Spend the first weeks observing rather than over-committing to travel or events.

Integration accelerates adaptation. Join university clubs, attend local festivals, or volunteer to build friendships with host-country peers. For example, in the UK, pub quizzes offer casual ways to connect. Combat homesickness, which affects up to 70% of international students per studies from the Journal of International Students, by establishing routines: exercise daily, journal gratitude, personalize your dorm with photos, or schedule video calls home.

Most universities provide free counseling, peer mentoring, or international student offices. Use them proactively for academic or emotional support. Budgeting apps like Mint can help manage finances amid rising costs.

Returning Home and Reverse Culture Shock

Reverse culture shock surprises many. After adapting to new norms, everyday life at home can feel alienating. Friends may not grasp your stories, or you might miss abroad conveniences like efficient public transit. Symptoms include frustration, boredom, or disconnection, lasting weeks to months.

Ease the transition by staying linked: join alumni networks or apps like InterNations for global meetups. Apply your skills. Pursue internships highlighting international experience or lead campus diversity events. Journaling pre-return goals helps process changes.

Turning Challenges into Growth

Ultimately, studying abroad fosters resilience, independence, and cultural competence. Challenges like navigating bureaucracy or solitude build adaptability valued by employers. Edu Masters notes that international experience boosts job prospects by 20%, per LinkedIn reports. With foresight, students emerge more confident global citizens.

Preparation transforms hurdles into stepping stones. Research thoroughly, seek support networks, and embrace flexibility for a rewarding journey.

Global University And Business School Rankings 2026: Exploring The New Era of Education And Global Academic Excellence

Desk News — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 17:00:04 +0530

New Delhi [India], March 05: Youth Incorporated, in association with media partner The Times of India, is back with the annual Global University and Business School Rankings 2026.

Two years ago, university faculty were still arguing about whether students should be allowed to use ChatGPT. Today, that argument looks almost quaint. In 2026, AI tools will be standard at leading universities, woven into how students learn, how assignments are assessed, and how institutions manage everything from admissions to academic support. The debate has not disappeared entirely, but it has moved to a more interesting place: not whether AI belongs in higher education, but whether universities are actually getting anything useful out of it.

The honest answer is: some are, many are not. Universities that have rebuilt their programmes around AI — rethinking assessments, retraining faculty, redesigning curricula — are producing graduates who are genuinely better prepared. Universities that bolted a chatbot onto the same courses they were running a decade ago are not. Students are sharp enough to tell the difference, and increasingly, so are employers. Sixty-five per cent of organisations worldwide are now hiring on demonstrated competencies rather than the name on a degree certificate. That is not a trend. That is a structural shift, and institutions that have not noticed it are going to feel it.

None of this makes a degree less important. It makes the choice of degree far more consequential than it has ever been.

February 2026 drove that point home in a way that was difficult to ignore. Roughly $830 billion in market value evaporated from global software stocks in a matter of weeks. AI is not just assisting knowledge workers anymore; it is beginning to replace them in certain functions. Anthropic recently launched a suite of specialised AI agents targeting finance, engineering, legal, accounting, and HR work. These tools will not hollow out entire industries overnight. But they will reshape job categories that millions of students are currently training to enter. That is precisely how a university prepares its graduates, not just what degree it hands them, matters more in 2026 than it ever has before.

India’s economic position adds its own dimension to that choice. In mid-2025, India overtook Japan to become the world’s fourth-largest economy. The Economic Survey 2025-26 projects GDP growth of 7.4% for FY26, the fourth consecutive year India has been the fastest-growing major economy among its peers. In January 2026, India and the European Union finalised a free trade agreement that had been 20 years in the making. In August 2025, S&P upgraded India’s sovereign credit rating for the first time in 18 years. These are not just headlines. For a student sitting their entrance exams today, they mean that the economy waiting for them on the other side of graduation looks meaningfully different and more promising.

The demand for international education remains enormous. Over 1.8 million Indian students were enrolled at overseas institutions in 2025, and spending on that education is expected to hit approximately USD 70 billion in 2026. India is, by a significant margin, the world’s largest source of international students. That number is not going to shrink. But where those students are going — that has changed quite a bit.

Canada was, until recently, the destination of choice for Indian students. That has collapsed with striking speed. Rejection rates for Indian study permit applications hit 71% through 2025. The US has not been much better: F-1 visa issuances to Indian students dropped 44% in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Australia is still processing Indian students but applying considerably more scrutiny to new applications. The net result: the number of Indian students actually leaving for overseas study fell nearly 31% between 2023 and 2025, according to government immigration data.

What has filled that gap is genuinely interesting. Germany, Ireland, and Spain have all seen sharp increases in Indian enrolments. France, in particular, has made no secret of its ambitions — it has set a formal target of 30,000 Indian students by 2030 and is actively running recruitment campaigns in India. The draw is real: tuition that is a fraction of what students would pay in the US or UK, programmes taught in English, and post-study work rights that actually function. For a lot of students, this is not settling for second best. It is a considered choice that makes more financial sense.

That is the bigger point, really. Choosing where to study in 2026 requires a different kind of calculation than it did even three years ago. Rankings matter. But so does visa stability, post-study work rights, employability data, and the total cost over the life of a degree. A university that sits higher on a prestige list but sits in a country where your visa application has a coin-flip chance of approval is not obviously the better choice.

That is exactly what these rankings are designed to help with.

Youth Incorporated, in association with The Times of India, has released the Top 100 Global Undergraduate and Business School Rankings for 2026. The rankings cover top undergraduate universities and business schools for MBA, Master’s in Finance, Marketing, Management, Online MBA, and Executive MBA. After collecting unbiased responses from 2,700 institutions and over 9,800 recruiters, students, and alumni, we ranked the top 100 global universities and business schools. Below is an analysis of how undergraduate universities and business schools have fared in 2026.

Undergraduate Rankings

The Global University Rankings 2026 tell a story of consolidation at the top. Harvard holds first place, Princeton second, Stanford third — a trio that has now been a fixture at the summit for several consecutive years. Their consistency is not accidental. Deep research funding, faculty quality, and decades of institutional investment are not advantages that shift quickly, and the rankings reflect that. These universities are not climbing because they had a good year. They are staying put because the foundations beneath them are simply stronger than almost everything else.

The tier immediately below follows much the same pattern. Columbia, Penn, and Yale occupy fourth through sixth place. Oxford holds seventh, Cornell eighth, with the London School of Economics and Caltech completing the top ten. There is movement if you look closely — a position gained here, one conceded there — but the defining characteristic of this year’s undergraduate rankings is stability rather than disruption. Rankings are shifting by inches, and for the most part, that reflects the reality of how slowly genuine institutional quality changes.

MIT at eleventh is a notable data point, less for the number itself and more for what it illustrates: the margins separating universities in this range are extremely thin, and even institutions of MIT’s standing are navigating a remarkably competitive space. Cambridge and Imperial College London also hold strong positions in the top 20, and the UK retains its pull for international students despite the visa environment making it a considerably more complicated destination than it was a few years ago.

India’s performance requires a more measured reading. IIT Bombay at 20th globally remains the country’s strongest result, with IIT Delhi close behind. Both placements confirm that India’s leading technical institutions are competitive internationally — that is not in question. What is in question is the depth of that competitiveness. Beyond those two, the rankings fall away sharply. IIT Kanpur and the University of Delhi sit considerably further down the table, exposing a gap between India’s elite institutions and the broader higher education system that has not meaningfully closed.

That gap sits at the centre of a larger tension. India is now the world’s fourth-largest economy, produces more graduates annually than almost any country, and sends more students abroad than any other nation. Yet outside a small cluster of institutions, the domestic higher education system is not yet strong enough to retain students who have the means and the grades to look elsewhere. Policy investment is visible — new IIT seats, updated curricula, international branch campuses beginning to take shape — but structural improvement at scale takes time. The rankings, for now, reflect where the system actually is, not where it is trying to go.

Global Business School (MBA Rankings)

The Global Business School Rankings 2026 reflect a year of relative stability among the world’s elite institutions. Stanford University and Harvard University continue to hold their first and second positions in the MBA rankings as both institutions demonstrate strong academic standards, influential alumni networks and their graduates achieve successful career results. This year, Stanford University has reclaimed the first position, climbing from the second place in 2025 and third position in 2024. Harvard University has dropped to second place after leading the first place last year. INSEAD University has moved to the third position from its fourth place in 2025, while IE University has reclaimed the fourth position compared to its fifth position in 2025 and 2024. The University of Pennsylvania (Wharton) has shown remarkable progress by now standing in the top 5 at the fifth position compared to its sixth and seventh in the previous years.

MIT college has secured the sixth place up from the eleventh place in 2024. However, London Business School, which ranked first in 2024 and third in 2025, has fallen to seventh place in 2026. Within the top ten, Columbia University remains stable at the eight position as last year, while HEC Paris now continues to be at the ninth place and Dartmouth college rounds off the top ten list by securing the tenth place.

Beyond individual movements, the 2026 rankings highlight a broader shift in business education. Institutions are increasingly being evaluated not just on legacy and academic rigor, but also on employability outcomes, recruiter recognition, global exposure, and curriculum innovation. Strong employer pipelines, international mobility opportunities, and measurable career advancement are now key differentiators.

Among the Indian Institutions, the performance between IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta remains steady but competitive as they stand among the top 20 global business schools.

Student Innovation at MRIS IB Sector 46 Gurugram Highlights the Power of Inquiry-Based Learning

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], March 05: Air pollution is no longer a distant environmental issue. It affects daily life – on roads, in neighbourhoods, and even inside classrooms. At Manav Rachna International School (MRIS) IB, Sector 46 Gurugram, a student’s curiosity has transformed this global concern into a meaningful innovation.

Sabir Singh, a Middle Years Programme (MYP 1) student, has developed a functional air quality monitoring device as part of a design thinking project. His innovation measures air quality in real time and communicates results through a simple, intuitive visual alert system, making complex environmental data instantly understandable.

A Young Mind, A Real-World Question

The project began with a powerful question:

How can we know the quality of the air we are breathing at any given moment?

Rather than limiting his learning to textbooks, Sabir chose to address a real-world challenge. Guided by the inquiry-driven framework of the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), he engaged in observation, research, experimentation, and critical problem-solving to develop his solution.

Such experiential learning is a hallmark of leading IB board schools in Gurugram, where students are encouraged to think independently and act responsibly.

Turning Data into Understanding

Sabir’s air quality device uses a colour-coded indicator system:

Green Light – Good air quality
Blue Light – Moderate air quality
Red Light – Presence of harmful pollutants

The strength of the project lies in its simplicity. Air quality metrics, often technical and abstract, are transformed into immediate visual signals that anyone – student or adult – can easily interpret.

The device not only demonstrates technical understanding but also reflects thoughtful, user-centric design – a key component of inquiry-based education.

Design Thinking in Action

The project is a strong example of design thinking embedded within the IB curriculum at MRIS Sector 46. Sabir followed a structured and reflective process:

Identifying a real-world environmental problem
Researching factors affecting air quality
Designing and building a functional prototype
Testing and refining the solution based on outcomes

Such learning approaches distinguish progressive educational institutions from traditional rote-learning environments. Students move beyond memorisation toward deeper conceptual understanding. They apply interdisciplinary knowledge, analyse real-world contexts, and reflect on the broader impact of their ideas.

Speaking about the achievement, Ms Sangeeta Kapoor, Principal of MRIS IB Sector 46, Gurugram, shared:

“At MRIS, we believe education must empower students to think critically and act meaningfully. Sabir’s project reflects the true spirit of the IB philosophy – inquiry, innovation, and responsible action. Our aim is not only academic excellence but nurturing globally minded learners who can address real-world challenges with confidence and empathy.”

This vision reinforces why MRIS is recognised among the most progressive IB board schools in Gurugram, committed to developing future-ready leaders.

ZELL Education Drives Career Success in ACCA, CFA, CMA, FRM, CPA and IFRS Programs

Desk News — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 22:30:09 +0530

New Delhi [India], February 27: The evolving finance and accounting professional qualification environment continues to evolve at rapid rates, with various students, including those entering the workforce, not only wanting an auto-discount of time spent in a qualification programme but also desiring globally recognised credentials (i.e., CMA, FRM, ACCA, CFA, CPA, and IFRS) to provide knowledge required to be successful and create career flexibility and earning potential.

ZELL Education’s mission and vision include the continuing development of learning partnerships worldwide, allowing for academic, industry, and student development.

Why Professional Finance Certifications Matter Today

The worldwide labour market is changing so drastically that employers often prefer specialised skills over degrees. ACCA, CFA, CMA, FRM, and CPA are the standard tools used worldwide to measure excellence.

CMA and FRM are in particularly high demand due to their emphasis on practical applications of financial management, strategic decision-making, and risk analysis.
Businesses are looking for employees who can help them with both accounting and developing financial strategies to mitigate risks.
Zell Education understands this demand and has developed its programmes to meet industry standards.

ZELL Education: A Structured Approach to Career Success

Education through ZELL is widely recognised as having a unique teaching model with a focus beyond examination preparation, as they include components of concept understanding, hands-on experience, and career development in its course offerings.

Benefits of ZELL include:

Structured study plans supporting working & studying adults
Faculty members with real-world experience
Live & recorded classes with interactivity built into the lectures
Case studies are used to facilitate learning
Mentorship & assistance with crafting/resolving questions
Job placement and career development assistance are offered to students

A systematic approach to create an environment in which students who are prepared for CMA/FRM can also be prepared for the workforce.

CMA: Building Strategic Financial Leaders

CMA is mainly targeted at individuals who wish to work in areas such as corporate finance, cost management, budgeting, and strategic decision-making.

Due to the increasing demand for qualified CMA professionals within multinational corporations, consulting firms, and rapidly growing businesses, the CMA programme has been developed with emphasis on:

Financial planning/analysis.
Cost control/performance management.
Internal controls.
Strategic Financial Management.

The CMA programme offered by ZELL Education focuses on providing students with practical learning experiences, enabling them to analyse financial data, use that information to make business decisions, and assist in helping organisations grow.

Further, because of the flexibility of the CMA programme, graduates will find themselves able to complete the programme much more quickly than most other professional courses, making the CMA programme a popular choice for career-focused students.

FRM: Shaping Experts in Risk Management

Currently, FRM is an essential component in every financial institution due to the uncertainty of the economy and the regulatory environment. The FRM designation is internationally recognised as a certification of an individual’s capability to assess and mitigate financial risk.

The FRM programme encompasses the areas of:

Market Risk
Credit Risk
Operational Risk
Investment Risk
Quantitative Analysis

With the ongoing complexity of the financial markets, organisations are searching for professionals who have an understanding of the methodologies associated with risk assessment and risk management. A large part of ZELL Education’s FRM coaching is comprised of providing students with the conceptual and analytical skills necessary to succeed in this field.

ACCA and CPA: Global Accounting Credentials

If you’re looking for a career in auditing, taxation, and International Financial Reporting Standards, obtaining the ACCA and CPA certifications can help you establish your credibility, as they are both globally recognised.

ZELL Education provides an organised framework for students wishing to gain their ACCA or CPA certification by providing programmes that will break down complex accounting standards to help students understand international financial reporting standards.

As a student at ZELL Education, you will have:

1. Comprehensive preparation for the exam

2. IFRS-specific training modules

3. Mock exams and revision strategies

4. Ongoing academic support

With these credentials, you will have access to potential employers such as large multinational corporations and the Big 4 accounting firms, as well as opportunities to fill leadership roles in finance departments.

CFA: Excellence in Investment and Finance

The CFA qualification is considered to be one of the highest recognised credentials in both investment management and financial analysis.

The CFA programme covers various financial topics, including:

Equity Research
Portfolio Management
Corporate Finance
Financial Modeling
Ethical Standards

ZELL Education’s CFA Preparation Program is designed to provide conceptual clarity and analytical reasoning. Students will receive step-by-step instruction and will be provided with all the necessary study materials to endure the rigours of completing the CFA programme.

IFRS: Mastering Global Reporting Standards

As companies grow internationally, it has become a necessity for companies to understand International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Therefore, ZELL Education provides alignment for both students and businesses as they are being trained in accounting to comply with their local and global compliance needs.

IFRS will help create more career opportunities in multinational firms and will give finance professionals greater professional stature.

What Sets ZELL Education Apart?

Instead of helping students pass the CMA/FRM exam, Zell Education emphasises the importance of being successful in their future careers.

1) Career-Focused Education: Zell Education provides career-focused, skill-based learning to support students in being ready for an employer. The goals of the education component are to prepare students with tested skills, knowledge, and free time to achieve the desired results.

2) Mentoring for Success: Students at Zell Education receive ongoing mentoring by a dedicated mentor as they prepare for their individual careers. Mentors enable the use of positive, supportive encouragement, guidance, and motivation throughout the student’s preparation.

3) Keeping Up With Industry Trends: The curriculum will be updated regularly to reflect the changing trends in the job market so that graduates will be familiar with the current working environment.

4) Career Services & Placement Help: Students will receive career support from advisers and placement help along the way to help them map out their transition from certification to a successful job.

A Growing Preference Among Students

In recent years, a significant percentage of students have moved away from postgraduate degrees to professional certifications such as CMA, ACCA, CFA, FRM, and CPA for reasons such as:

Accelerated career progression
Global opportunities
Higher salary potential
Specialised knowledge

By providing structured preparation and ongoing support throughout the student’s career, ZELL Education has carved out a niche for itself as a conduit for students to fulfil their academic aspirations while also addressing their professional needs.

Conclusion

As competition among financial organisations intensifies, professional finance certifications have become essential, representing strategic investments in your career. Programmes like the CMA and FRM have redefined the role that finance professionals contribute to organisations. The breadth of ACCA, CFA, CPA, and IFRS experience gives you continued access to job opportunities worldwide.

Think the US Visa Interview Is Tough? The DS-160 Form Decides Your Fate First

Desk News — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 22:30:04 +0530

New Delhi [India], February 27: For many applicants, securing a U.S. visa appointment feels like the most critical step in the process. However, what truly shapes the outcome often happens much earlier, while filling out the DS-160 form online.

At a time when visa slots in India can take months to become available, travel companies like Akbar Travels provide faster appointment options such as US Visa Appointment in 20 Days. Yet, regardless of how quickly an appointment is secured, the accuracy of the DS-160 Form plays a decisive role in how the application is assessed.

The DS-160, formally known as the Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application (DS-160), is not just a routine form. It becomes the primary source of information that visa officers study before meeting an applicant face to face.

Why the DS-160 Application Form holds more weight than the US Visa Interview

When applicants attend their U.S. visa appointment, the officer already has access to their complete U.S. visa application online. Details such as employment history, travel records, and the purpose of the visit are reviewed in advance. The interview mainly serves to confirm whether spoken answers match what was submitted digitally, This is the reason why the DS-160 form holds more weight than the Interview.

Errors that weaken your USA Visa Application

A most common reason for US Visa rejection is inconsistency. Inconsistencies in passport data and form responses, ambiguous travel plans, or unreported work information may cause doubts. Applicants applying for a US visa for Indians category must be especially careful when declaring their job profile and financial background.

Even choosing the wrong US visa type or writing vague reasons for travel can affect how the application is perceived.

Impact on Appointment waiting periods

With rising demand, US visa appointment wait times have increased across several cities. In some cases, applicants may find earlier slots in locations other than their home city.

For instance, travellers based in Mumbai who are unable to secure an appointment locally often look at Delhi as an alternative. In such situations, planning travel early includes booking Mumbai to New Delhi flights in advance to avoid last-minute price surges and scheduling issues.

While the DS-160 Form does not reduce waiting periods, a correctly completed application prevents delays caused by technical errors or resubmission.

Travel planning after approval

After approval of the visa, travelers start organizing their trip by searching for Cheap Flights to the United States to grab the best airfare for their journey. Some people like to have organized travel plans and look for USA Tour Package deals that include accommodation, transport, sightseeing among other aspects.

Applicants who have interviews in metro cities like Mumbai, may also require short stays, many applicants prefer booking the top Hotels in Mumbai if their interview city is not their home city.

Honesty and clarity matter most

The DS-160 application form functions as a legal declaration. Any effort to conceal previous refusals, distort travel history, or overstate financial circumstances could undermine credibility. USA Visa officials would find it far more impressive to see consistency between the written application and the responses during the interview.

Applicants who consider the US DS-160 form as the basis of their application tend to be more confident and better prepared for the interview.

Conclusion

Although it is common to assume that the final decision is made during the US visa interview, the actual assessment begins with the Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application (DS-160). Starting from the personal circumstances to the travel purpose, the DS-160 form creates the applicant’s profile, which visa officials assess long before the applicant faces the counter.

For those planning to Apply for a U.S. Visa, careful attention to the form DS-160 can be just as important as interview preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions – DS-160 For for US Visa

A structured curriculum that equips students to pass international exams.
Faculty who have both educational and professional backgrounds.
A mix of in-classroom and at-home learning options.
Regularly scheduled sessions for resolving doubts and reviewing material.
Assistance with finding jobs and building careers.

By combining all of these elements, Zell students have access to a seamless transition from studying to working. As such, anyone studying for the CMA (to secure employment in corporate finance) or for the FRM (to focus on risk management) will receive ongoing support through every stage of the employment journey.

Student-Centric Approach for Long-Term Success

Many factors can make the path to becoming a student overwhelming; therefore, it is important to have good support systems. Zell Education provides great support to students by:

1) Offering academic counselling before enrolling;

2) Helping students create individualised academic plans

3) Monitoring students’ progress for success in their courses

4) Guiding, interviewing and preparing a resume.

While traditional education focuses primarily on passing tests, Zell enables students to become successful by developing skills that are relevant to today’s workforce.

Strategic decision-makers who make financial decisions
Risk assessment experts
People who understand global accounting
Analysts who know regulatory compliance

CMA professionals support the strategic management of costs and business planning, while FRM professionals support companies in managing financial uncertainty and risk. Zell has developed specialised training programmes based on the current market demand for CMA and FRM certifications.

Inside India’s School Innovation Movement: How RoboSpecies Technologies Is Turning Classrooms into Real-World Problem-Solving Labs

Desk News — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 20:30:28 +0530

New Delhi [India], February 26: On a weekday morning in a typical Indian school, something new is happening. Instead of copying notes from a blackboard, a group of students is wiring a sensor. Another team is debugging code. A younger batch is navigating a small programmable robot across a mat, learning sequencing without staring at a screen. This is not a future concept. It is part of a growing shift inside Indian schools toward innovation labs that focus on practical, hands-on learning. As conversations around employability, artificial intelligence, and digital readiness intensify, schools are beginning to rethink a basic question: Are students being prepared to think, or just to remember? At the centre of this shift is a new generation of structured lab ecosystems, including those implemented by RoboSpecies Technologies Pvt. Ltd., which works with schools to embed robotics, AI, coding, and systems-based learning into everyday academic schedules.

From Syllabus Completion to Skill Development

For decades, Indian classrooms have been defined by syllabus coverage and exam performance. Academic rigour remains important, but industry leaders and policymakers increasingly acknowledge a gap between knowledge and application. Reports from global economic forums regularly highlight that future jobs will demand analytical thinking, systems understanding, creativity, and digital competence. These are not skills developed by memorisation alone. They emerge from applied practice. Innovation labs are designed to bridge this gap. Instead of treating science and technology as purely theoretical subjects, labs create environments where students experiment and iterate. When a circuit fails or a programmed instruction misfires, students must identify the cause. That process, more than the final working model, becomes the lesson.

What Happens Inside an Innovation Lab

A functional school innovation lab typically includes robotics kits, electronics components, coding interfaces, and guided curriculum frameworks. But the hardware is only one part of the structure. The real emphasis lies in structured progression. Students start with foundational ideas such as motion, balance, sensing, and sequencing. Over time, they move into automation concepts, logic building, and basic artificial intelligence principles. They learn how individual components interact within a system.

RoboSpecies Technologies has built its approach around this progression model. Its proprietary RobotriX Kits allow students to physically construct mechanical and automation-based models while exploring real-world principles like movement control and response mechanisms. The kits are designed to move from basic mechanical builds to more complex system-based interactions, ensuring students develop layered understanding rather than isolated exposure.

Coding as Logical Thinking, Not Just Syntax

In many schools, coding is introduced as a technical subject. However, structured lab ecosystems increasingly treat coding as applied logic. Through TinkerBrix, the AI and coding platform developed by RoboSpecies, students begin with visual sequencing and gradually transition into deeper programming concepts and electronics simulations.

Younger learners understand how instructions lead to actions. Older students see how conditional logic, loops, and system responses shape outcomes. Importantly, coding is connected to physical application. When logic drives a moving model or automated system, the connection becomes tangible. This integration strengthens comprehension and reduces the abstraction often associated with programming.

Starting Early: Innovation Beyond Screens

Innovation exposure in many systems begins late, often in secondary or higher secondary grades. RoboSpecies has extended its model to foundational levels through Tinker Bot, a screen-free programmable learning robot designed for Anganwadi and primary classrooms. The emphasis here is cognitive development rather than device dependency. Students learn sequencing, spatial awareness, and cause-effect relationships through physical interaction. The absence of screens ensures that early learning focuses on reasoning rather than digital consumption. This early introduction aligns with research suggesting that curiosity and exploratory behaviour are strongest during foundational years. Structured exposure during this stage shapes long-term attitudes toward STEM learning.

Beyond Metro Cities: A Wider Shift

While innovation labs were once associated primarily with elite urban institutions, structured models are increasingly appearing in Tier 2 and emerging cities. Schools outside major metros are actively exploring partnerships to modernise infrastructure and align with competency-based education goals. RoboSpecies Technologies positions its work within this broader national shift. Rather than offering occasional workshops, the company integrates innovation labs into school timetables, accompanied by facilitator training and curriculum alignment. The aim is sustainability rather than short-term activity. Teachers receive support to guide projects confidently. Students engage in year-on-year learning progression rather than isolated interventions. This continuity is critical. Skill development, especially in systems thinking and automation, requires repetition and gradual complexity.

The Systems Thinking Connection

One of the most significant outcomes observed in structured innovation labs is the development of systems thinking. Modern industries do not operate in isolation. Supply chains, digital platforms, healthcare technologies, and financial systems all involve interconnected components. In lab environments, students learn to consider multiple variables simultaneously. A programming error can affect mechanical output. A structural flaw can impact stability. Students are encouraged to trace issues methodically rather than guess randomly. Such exposure builds analytical discipline. It also mirrors professional workflows where troubleshooting and iterative improvement are daily realities.

Confidence as a Measurable Outcome

Educators working with innovation lab ecosystems frequently point to one consistent outcome: increased student confidence. When children regularly build, test, and present projects, they become more comfortable articulating ideas.

Failure is reframed as iteration. Rather than fearing mistakes, students treat them as feedback. This mindset often carries beyond STEM subjects. Participation in regular classrooms improves. Communication strengthens. While exam scores remain part of academic life, confidence and adaptability increasingly influence long-term success.

A Movement Still Taking Shape

India’s school innovation movement is not uniform. Infrastructure disparities remain. According to national school data, access to integrated science labs and digital tools is still uneven across regions. Yet the direction of change is clear. Schools are gradually acknowledging that real-world readiness begins with applied exposure. Structured lab ecosystems like those implemented by RoboSpecies Technologies illustrate how this can be done systematically, rather than experimentally. The future of education may not lie in replacing textbooks, but in complementing them with environments that encourage building, analysis, and iteration.

Looking Ahead

As artificial intelligence and automation continue reshaping industries, education must respond thoughtfully. Preparing students solely for predictable pathways is no longer sufficient. Preparing them to analyse, adapt, and improve systems is more realistic. Innovation labs represent a shift from passive instruction to active engagement. Students do not simply learn about technology. They understand how it functions and how it can be shaped. India’s education system is in transition. Inside a growing number of schools, classrooms are slowly transforming into structured problem-solving labs. The change may not always be loud, but it is measurable. And it may prove foundational in preparing a generation that is not only digitally aware, but technologically confident.

Strengthening Grassroots Innovation: How Project Vigyasa Is Reimagining School Science Education

Desk News — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 20:30:16 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 26: On February 2, 2026, a Science Festival and Quiz Competition brought together students, educators, corporate leaders, and community stakeholders at Sharada English High School. Organized by Seva Sahayog Foundation in partnership with Alivus Life Sciences under Project Vigyasa, the initiative illustrates how cross-sector collaboration can meaningfully influence science education at the grassroots level.

While school science exhibitions are common, what distinguished this event was its strategic intent: to move beyond textbook learning and cultivate applied scientific thinking among students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.

From Engagement to Applied Learning

The festival began with a traditional lamp-lighting ceremony and Saraswati Poojan—symbolic of knowledge and inquiry—followed by cultural performances that reinforced community participation. But the core of the event lay in its design: 160 students participated, including 110 in the Science Festival and 45 in the Quiz Competition, presenting 49 working models across primary (Grades 5–7) and secondary (Grades 8–10) levels.

The projects addressed real-world challenges—electricity from vegetative waste, renewable energy, pollution control, waste management, satellite launching, and agricultural innovation. Demonstrations such as foot rockets, fire rockets, telescope observations, DIY experiments, and 3D projection models converted abstract scientific principles into tangible learning experiences.

This experiential approach aligns with contemporary research on STEM education, which emphasizes that conceptual retention improves significantly when students apply theory through experimentation.

Corporate–NGO Collaboration in Action

The exhibition was inaugurated by school leadership alongside representatives from Seva Sahayog Foundation and Alivus Life Sciences, signaling a unified approach to educational development.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Abhinandan Sah, Senior Manager- Projects – Science & Technology Vertical, Seva Sahayog Foundation, emphasized the importance of access and confidence in rural science education:

“Scientific temperament cannot be built through textbooks alone. When students design, test, and present their own models, they begin to see themselves as innovators. Project Vigyasa is about creating that shift—from passive learning to active problem-solving.”

Senior leaders from Alivus Life Sciences, including Dr. Ramesh Senaiar (General Manager – Process Research) and Ms. Soumi Rao (Sr. General Manager – Corporate Communication & CSR), reinforced the corporate commitment to long-term educational impact rather than one-time sponsorship.

Their presence underscores a broader shift in CSR philosophy—from cheque-writing to capability-building.

Recognition as Motivation

Projects were evaluated across categories, with awards presented for excellence in both primary and secondary sections. Sungrace English High School emerged as the Champion Trophy winner, while other institutions were recognized for innovation in natural farming, waste-to-energy, satellite launching, and sustainable practices. A quiz competition further strengthened conceptual rigor and competitive spirit among participants.

Importantly, participation certificates were distributed to all students—reinforcing inclusivity and encouragement rather than limiting recognition to top performers.

Operational Leadership and Execution

The program’s seamless execution reflects strong operational coordination. The event was led by Ms. Mansha Kumari, Project Coordinator, Seva Sahayog Foundation, supported by a multidisciplinary team including Mr. Kishor Moghe (Director), Mr. Aakash Gupte (Head of Operations – Mumbai), Mr. Rajesh Shetty (Project Manager), Kalpana Mhatre (Assistant Manager – Science Vertical), science educators, coordinators, and community facilitators.

Such structured execution highlights an important lesson for development initiatives: impact at scale requires systems, not just intent.

Beyond the Event: Long-Term Implications

The Science Festival and Quiz Competition was not merely an academic exercise—it was a demonstration of how corporate–civil society partnerships can strengthen foundational competencies in STEM education.

By combining local school ecosystems with industry-backed resources, Project Vigyasa is contributing to:

Increased exposure to applied science
Improved confidence among students
Enhanced teacher engagement
Community-level awareness of scientific solutions

In an era where innovation is a national priority, nurturing scientific curiosity at the grassroots level is not optional—it is strategic.

As initiatives like this expand, they offer a replicable model for integrating CSR investments with measurable educational outcomes. The true success of such programs will ultimately be reflected not in trophies, but in the number of young learners who go on to see science not as a subject, but as a pathway.

KollegeApply introduces predictive AI tools as admission season gathers pace

Desk News — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 16:49:40 +0530

New Delhi [India], February 19: KollegeApply rolled out a set of predictive AI-based tools aimed at helping students navigate the college selection process as India’s admission season gathers pace.

With thousands of institutions, multiple counselling processes and changing cut-offs, students often struggle to convert ranks into practical choices. KollegeApply said its new tools are designed to bring greater clarity to this critical stage of the admission journey.

The platform’s predictive AI system draws on historical admissions data, counselling trends and programme-level demand to estimate realistic admission possibilities and shortlist colleges that align with a student’s academic profile and preferences.

Among the tools introduced are an AI Rank Predictor, which estimates admission ranges based on past cut-off behaviour, and an AI College Predictor, which suggests institutions based on rank, programme demand, location and budget.

The company has also launched an ROI Calculator that allows students to compare programme costs with typical placement outcomes, along with an Education Breakeven and ROI Calculator that helps students understand how long it may take to recover education costs under different earning scenarios.

KollegeApply said the tools are intended to support counselling efforts rather than replace them.

Arpit Verma, a member of KollegeApply’s founding team, said students today often face the challenge of interpreting large volumes of admission-related information within tight timelines.

“Students are expected to make high-stakes choices in a short time frame, often using fragmented information. Predictive AI tools bring these elements together and offer a clearer view of what lies ahead. The goal is to help students take more informed and confident decisions,” Arpit said.

Industry observers note that hiring patterns are increasingly focused on skills, project work and practical exposure, making outcome-oriented admission planning more relevant.

KollegeApply said it plans to expand its predictive AI framework beyond engineering into other streams such as management, medical and law.

As admissions become more data-driven, platforms that help students interpret information rather than simply access it are expected to play a larger role in how students make academic decisions.

Class ON Launches AdvancHolistic ed Progress Card Software to Help Schools Implement NEP 2020 Assessment

Desk News — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 21:30:07 +0530

New Delhi [India], February 17: The education sector in India is undergoing a major transformation as schools adapt to the assessment guidelines introduced under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. One of the key changes recommended by education authorities is the adoption of the Holistic Progress Card (HPC), a modern evaluation framework that measures a student’s overall development instead of focusing only on exam marks.

To support schools in implementing this new assessment system, Class ON App, a leading school ERP solution provider in India, has developed a comprehensive Holistic Progress Card software designed to align with CBSE and NEP 2020 guidelines. The platform allows schools to create structured, professional, and meaningful progress reports with ease.

A Shift Toward Holistic Assessment

Traditional report cards have long been limited to academic marks and grades. However, modern education systems now recognise that true learning involves much more than exam scores. Skills such as communication, creativity, problem-solving, participation, and behaviour play an equally important role in a child’s development.

Holistic Progress Cards aim to capture this broader perspective by providing a 360-degree evaluation of students, covering academic performance, co-curricular activities, life skills, attendance, and teacher observations.

Education experts believe that this approach not only reduces exam pressure but also encourages students to focus on continuous improvement and real learning.

Class ON’s Digital Solution for Schools

Implementing holistic assessment manually can be time-consuming and challenging for schools. Recognizing this challenge, Class ON App has designed an easy-to-use digital platform that simplifies the entire process of assessment and reporting.

With Class ON’s Holistic Progress Card software, schools can:

Generate CBSE-aligned holistic report cards
Record competency-based assessments and observations
Track student progress across multiple parameters
Customize report card formats as per school requirements
Share progress cards digitally with parents

The system is designed to be user-friendly so that teachers can manage assessments efficiently without increasing their workload.

Designed for Indian Schools

One of the key advantages of the Class ON platform is that it is specifically developed for Indian schools and education boards. The software is built to support the structure, grading patterns, and evaluation methods commonly followed by CBSE and other boards adopting NEP 2020 guidelines.

According to the company, the goal is to make holistic assessment practical and accessible for schools of all sizes, including small and mid-sized institutions that may not have large administrative teams.

Any school in India can now implement a professional Holistic Progress Card system and align its assessment practices with modern education standards using a simple digital solution.

Benefits for Students, Teachers, and Parents

The adoption of Holistic Progress Cards offers significant benefits for all stakeholders in the education ecosystem.

Students benefit from reduced academic pressure and greater recognition of their skills and talents. Teachers gain a structured framework to evaluate multiple aspects of learning, while parents receive deeper insights into their child’s progress, behaviour, and strengths.

Digital systems like Class ON further enhance transparency and communication by allowing parents to access reports and updates through mobile applications.

Growing Demand for Digital Assessment Tools

With schools increasingly moving toward digital management systems, the demand for assessment tools that support NEP 2020 reforms is rising rapidly. Many institutions are looking for reliable platforms that can help them modernize their evaluation process while saving time and improving accuracy.

Industry experts believe that digital Holistic Progress Card systems will soon become a standard feature in school ERP solutions, as competency-based assessment continues to gain importance in Indian education.

Supporting the Future of Education

As education evolves to meet the needs of the 21st century, schools are focusing not only on academic excellence but also on developing well-rounded individuals who possess essential life skills and critical thinking abilities.

By providing a practical and efficient way to implement holistic assessment, Class ON App aims to help schools take a step forward in building a more meaningful and future-ready education system.

ATLAS ISDI Brings Design-Led AI Discourse to Campus at AI Impact Pre-Summit

Desk News — Sat, 14 Feb 2026 15:30:12 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 14: ATLAS SkillTech University and ISDI – School of Design & Innovation, in association with the Government of India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Digital India and IndiaAI, hosted the Official Pre Summit of the AI Impact Summit 2026 at its Mumbai campus. The pre-summit established the ATLAS ISDI campus as a dynamic forum for advancing design-led thinking and future-focused skill development in an AI-driven world, while accelerating national and global dialogue on inclusive, responsible and high-impact AI ahead of the main summit scheduled in New Delhi on 19–20 February 2026.

Highlighting the significance of ATLAS SkillTech University and ISDI’s association with the AI Impact Summit, Siddharth Shahani, Co-Founder and Executive President, ATLAS SkillTech University, said, “India’s AI moment cannot be built on technology alone. This association reflects our shared belief that intelligence must be designed with human intent, strong governance and real social impact. By bringing these conversations into the university ecosystem, we are preparing future designers, technologists and leaders to engage with AI not just as a tool, but as a responsibility.”

The pre-summit, themed “Human-First Intelligence: Learning, Leadership and Social Impact,” featured lightning talks, panel discussions, masterclass and an AI Agent Buildathon, bringing together leaders from academia, industry and policy. Speakers included Sameer Rawal (Digital Impact Square – a TCS Foundation initiative), Neha Shivran (Kissht), Indranil Chandra (Upstox), Arushi Sethi (HurixDigital), Kirti Poonia (Caimera.ai), and Aryan Singh and Rohit Ghosh (Livespace.ai), among others.

The pre-summit opened with a keynote address by Siddharth Shahani where he articulated how Design + AI together form India’s new power stack. Emphasising that AI brings speed, scale and optimisation while design provides direction, restraint and human alignment, he reinforced that human-first intelligence is not a feature, but a design choice. He also highlighted the growing importance of multidisciplinary AI talent and reframed data governance as a trust architecture rather than a compliance exercise.

A panel discussion titled ‘Building India’s Impact AI Stack: Data, Design and Governance’ featured Arushi Sethi, Kirti Poonia, Neha Shivran and Sameer Rawal, exploring how India can build scalable, responsible and impact-driven AI systems by aligning thoughtful design, robust data practices and strong governance frameworks.

Industry insights were further strengthened through two lightning talks. Neha Shivran, Co-Founder, Kissht, spoke on measuring the success of AI interventions by linking design and innovation to tangible organisational outcomes. Indranil Chandra, Architect – ML & Data Engineer at Upstox, delivered a session on data governance in agentic AI systems, highlighting governance-by-design, accountability and the risks of ungoverned autonomy.

Hands-on learning formed a core part of the pre-summit through an AI Agent Buildathon led by LYZR.AI, where participants ideated, designed and built autonomous AI agents addressing real-world challenges, demonstrating the critical role of design in shaping intent, behaviour and ethics in intelligent systems. The day concluded with a Livespace.ai Masterclass led by Aryan Singh and Rohit Ghosh, showcasing how AI is transforming spatial design across physical and digital environments.

As the Official Pre-Summit to the AI Impact Summit 2026, the event underscored ATLAS SkillTech University’s commitment to advancing national and global AI discourse through education. By bringing human-first AI conversations into the classroom, the university is actively shaping a generation of leaders equipped to build ethical, inclusive and high-impact AI systems for the future.

How International Finance Qualifications Are Influencing Career Mobility

Desk News — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 00:30:26 +0530

New Delhi [India], February 12: As the world economy changes quickly, professionals are increasingly looking for ways to move between countries, industries, and jobs throughout their careers. A growing number of people are pursuing international finance certificates like the CFA and CMA as a means of demonstrating competency in areas such as:

Understanding how financial systems function outside the U.S. and across multiple regions.
Becoming familiar with different methods of risk management used in various parts of the world.
Learning about the regulations applicable to all functions associated with the international financial markets.
Understanding how businesses make decisions that have an impact on their operations globally.

The CFA and CMA credentials increasingly provide graduates and working professionals with the qualifications needed to achieve global career mobility.

The Growing Importance of Global Finance Credentials

The finance sector is now fully globalised, eliminating distinctions between local and international companies. Services and investments extend across borders, following globally accepted accounting principles.

Professionals with CFA qualifications excel in investment management, portfolio management, equity research, and financial analysis.
CMA qualifications are valued in management accounting, financial planning, and corporate strategy.
Both certifications are recognised worldwide, easing access to international job opportunities.
Employers trust candidates with CFA or CMA certifications due to their adherence to global standards.
Career mobility for holders of CFA and CMA designations has increased significantly due to these opportunities.

CFA: Opening Doors to Global Investment Careers

The CFA programme is widely recognised to have a strong emphasis on Investment Committee Work, Ethics, Portfolio Management, and Financial Markets. CFA charterholders exhibit a high level of knowledge regarding global finance and are usually employed in the following areas by institutional and individual consumers:

Investment Banking
Asset Management
Equity Research
Risk Management
Wealth Management
Private Equity

The CFA Programme’s global standards enable individuals to work in major financial centres like London, New York, Dubai, Singapore, and Mumbai.

Employers prefer candidates with the CFA designation for their analytical skills and understanding of global finance, highlighting their commitment to completing the CFA Requirements.

Many multinational companies seek CFA candidates for positions with global responsibilities, showcasing the CFA’s significant impact on employment mobility.

CMA: Powering Careers in Corporate Finance and Strategy

While the CFA is primarily concerned about investments, the CMA is aimed at those with an interest in corporate finance or management accounting.

Achieving a CMA certification will provide you with expertise in:

The budgeting process
Financial Planning
Cost Management
Performance Analysis
Internal Controls
Making Strategic Decisions

The CMA designation is highly valued, especially among individuals wanting to work for multinational companies. Globalisation means companies need professionals who can execute financial strategies and manage business performance.

CMA candidates often receive job offers in the following positions:

Financial Analyst
Financial Manager
Cost Accountant
FP&A Specialist
Corporate Controller

CMA’s global market recognition gives CMA candidates all over the world access to new job opportunities in the U.S., the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.

The strategic emphasis of CMA lends itself to opportunities for faster career advancement and leadership mobility, making CMA a great option for flexible career mobility across sectors and industries.

Why Employers Value CFA and CMA for Career Mobility

Today’s employers want workers who can function well in a global workplace. Certifications such as the CFA and CMA indicate to employers that a candidate has proficiency in international finance standards and compliance with ethics.

Here is why CFA and CMA certifications are valuable to employers:

The CFA and CMA have a global curriculum and curriculum framework.
The CFA and CMA examinations are uniformly designed to have the same content and rigour internationally.
The CFA and CMA certifications represent extensive technical competencies in finance.
CFA and CMA certifications are used interchangeably by employers as a benchmark across multiple countries.

When an applicant holds a CFA or CMA designation, they have shown that they have the skills necessary for financial work. Consequently, employers will have an increased level of trust in a worker’s ability to complete work opportunities that cross borders.

Higher Salary Potential with CFA and CMA

Salary growth is an important factor that affects one’s ability to move ahead in their career. If professionals are offered higher salaries, they are usually more than happy to relocate.

There is a high degree of salary competition among CFA charterholders working in the investment banking and asset management industries, as well as among CMA professionals in corporate finance at multinational companies.

CFA and CMA certificates are globally recognized so companies will often pay a premium for CFA or CMA credentials. These higher salaries will therefore result in CFA and CMA holders seeking international positions.

Having a CFA or CMA certificate provides a significant financial advantage over non-certified professionals and contributes to an individual’s ability to progress within their respective profession.

Flexibility Across Industries

Career mobility in the field of finance is also greatly affected by the fact that finance professionals can be employed in a large number of industries and types of organisations.

Those with a CFA designation can work in any of the following industries:

Banking
Insurance
Investment Firms
Consulting
FinTech

Those with a CMA designation can work in any of the following industries:

Manufacturing
Information Technology
Healthcare
Retail
Multinational Corporations

As a result of having such broad industry options, CFA and CMA designation holders can change jobs easily based on current market trends, without being limited to their respective sectors.

Building Global Professional Networks

CFA and CMA offer access to extensive global professional networks.

CFA has societies in many countries and organises events, conferences, and other opportunities for networking to help CFA candidates build relationships with financial leaders worldwide.
Similarly, CMA members have access to the CMA International Chapters and CMA Professional Communities.

These networks create improved job referrals, increased opportunities for mentoring, and greater exposure to international work experience. Networking can significantly enhance mobility within your career; therefore, by obtaining either a CFA or CMA credential, you will reap many rewards.

A Competitive Edge in a Crowded Job Market

There are many graduates entering the finance job market with just a basic degree; however, they may not have had the opportunity to earn their CFA or CMA certification.

Employers use these credentials to differentiate between candidates when evaluating applicants.
A candidate with a CFA clearly demonstrates a high level of investment expertise, while a candidate with a CMA demonstrates a high level of expertise in management accounting.
Recruiters will typically focus on sourcing globally certified candidates as their first choice when hiring internationally, as this can drastically increase that candidate’s chances of obtaining a career mobility opportunity.

Why Graduates Are Choosing CFA and CMA Early

Recent graduates have been planning for their futures, with aspirations for jobs in different countries and opportunities to increase their earnings and secure employment with proven companies that recognise them.

Therefore, many graduates have begun their pursuit of obtaining the CFA and/or CMA as soon as they graduate (or shortly thereafter).

Preparation for the CFA and/or CMA allows candidates to:

Develop their skill set quickly
Enhance their chance of obtaining high-paying positions
Achieve global recognition
Advance faster within their chosen profession

Since both CFAs and CMAs provide structured approaches to developing professionals, they are an excellent option for anyone who wishes to have a successful career.

How International Qualifications Reduce Career Barriers

Historically, when professionals wanted to apply for jobs overseas, there were restrictions on them based on their degrees being recognised only in their home country, but neither the CFA nor the CMA has this restriction.

Employers will quickly recognise the value of CFA and CMA credentials since both of these certifications are recognized across multiple countries.
Confusion regarding the academic credentials of an applicant is diminished, thus creating additional confidence that the applicant is qualified to perform the job for which they are applying.
As globalisation increases, certification based on testing, such as the CFA or CMA, will continue to impact career mobility across countries.

The Future of Career Mobility in Finance

There is a growing need for professionals to help fill these roles across many industries. The CMA and CFA certification programmes also provide a very good match to trends surrounding globalised financial services.

The CFA provides a more comprehensive analysis of the market around the world, and the CMA oversees the finance and accounting function of a multinational company.
With these two internationally recognised certifications, there is an optimistic view regarding careers available to people looking to establish themselves in the international financial services industry.

Conclusion: Why CFA and CMA Are Shaping Global Careers

For ambitious careers seeking international exposure and movement, having an international finance qualification is essential.

If you are looking to work in investment or financial markets, you should get a CFA. If you want to work in corporate finance/management roles, CMA would be the best choice. Both certifications provide worldwide recognition, increased earning potential, flexibility across industries, and professional credibility.

As businesses become more global, they will seek professionals with global certification. CFA/CMA-certified professionals can build their careers without geographic boundaries; obtaining either certification can be strategic.

IIM Lucknow, TimesPro invite applications for the 10th intake of the Chief Strategy Officers Programme

Desk News — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 22:30:18 +0530

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], February 11: In a world of sharper geopolitical faultlines, faster technology cycles and heightened scrutiny, strategy has become a continuous discipline. Organisations increasingly need senior leaders who can read signals early, make hard trade-offs with analytical rigour and translate ambition into execution across functions and geographies. Against this backdrop, the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (IIM Lucknow), in association with TimesPro, has begun accepting applications for the 10th batch of its Chief Strategy Officers Programme, designed for experienced professionals shaping enterprise direction and driving multi-region transformation.

Spanning 10 months, the programme develops end-to-end capability, from diagnosing external disruption to translating strategy into measurable execution. Participants learn to build advantage in fast-changing environments, integrate digital and AI into decision-making, embed ESG into long-range planning and manage risk through sharper capital allocation and scenario thinking. Designed for aspiring CSOs, COOs and CEOs, as well as senior managers and vice-presidents leading large change agendas, the programme builds the confidence to influence boards, guide business units and mobilise stakeholders around coherent strategic priorities.

As organisations navigate uncertainty and disruption, they need leaders who can ground strategy in evidence while acting with speed and clarity. PwC’s Global CEO Survey 2026, based on responses from CEOs across 95 countries and territories, shows that the foremost concern for many leaders is whether their organisations are transforming quickly enough to keep pace with technological change, including AI—42% cite this as their top concern. Gartner’s 2024 CEO and Senior Business Executive Survey echoes’ this urgency: 62% of CEOs rank growth as their highest business priority, while 34% identify AI as the leading theme for the next wave of business transformation after digital.

Aimed at professionals with 10+ years of full-time work experience, the programme is anchored in three interconnected modules: Sensing Opportunity, Crafting Competitive Advantage and Execution & Realising Competitive Advantage. The curriculum covers strategic decision-making, emerging disruptions, corporate and business strategy, international strategy, mergers and acquisitions, corporate entrepreneurship, strategic communication, change and transformation and design thinking, enabling participants to move from insight to action with rigour.

Commenting on the 10th batch, Sabayachi Sinha, Professor, IIM Lucknow said, “Strategy now demands both range and discipline; leaders must read uncertainty early, choose where to compete, and execute with clarity across functions and geographies. This programme develops that capability through structured frameworks, contemporary cases and peer learning that mirror boardroom complexity. Participants leave with sharper strategic intuition, stronger analytical tools and the ability to translate ambition into resilient, measurable growth.”

Sridhar Nagarajachar, Business Head – Executive Education, TimesPro, said, “Senior leaders rarely need more information, they need better synthesis, decision discipline and execution velocity. Our collaboration with IIM Lucknow brings that together through live, faculty-led learning, applied assignments and a capstone that turns frameworks into outcomes. The programme fits demanding calendars while building credible strategic capability that leaders can deploy immediately across transformation, growth and stakeholder alignment.”

Over the years, the Chief Strategy Officers Programme has drawn professionals from BFSI, manufacturing, FMCG, IT, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, and other sectors. Cohorts typically include C-suite leaders, vice presidents, directors and senior managers responsible for enterprise priorities and transformation roadmaps.

IIM Lucknow faculty deliver the learning through TimesPro’s Direct-to-Device platform, combining live sessions with case discussions, simulations, quizzes and graded assignments. A three-day on-campus immersion at IIM Lucknow enables deeper reflection and peer exchange. Participants also complete a capstone project, applying digital transformation, AI and innovation toolkits to a real strategic challenge. On successful completion, learners receive an IIM Lucknow certificate and alumni credentials.

Why Italy is a Top Choice for Students?

Italy is rapidly emerging as a preferred global destination for Indian students seeking internationally recognised degrees and global exposure. YES Italy’s Pune operations help students secure admissions in Italian public universities known for low or income-based tuition fees and generous scholarships, with several prestigious institutions offering strong financial support for international students.

Key highlights for students:

• Government and university scholarship opportunities
• English-taught degree programs for international students
• Globally recognised European education system

Studying in Italy follows a unique admission and visa process that requires careful planning — from choosing the right public or private university to completing pre-enrolment, scholarships, and visa formalities. Each step must be handled accurately to avoid delays or rejections.

YES Italy’s Pune centre offers complete Italy-focused guidance, helping students move smoothly from counselling to university enrolment with confidence.

Students receive comprehensive support including:

• Profile evaluation and course shortlisting across Italian universities
• University applications and admission confirmation
• Universitaly pre-enrolment process
• Scholarship and financial planning
• Italy student visa documentation and filing
• Pre-departure and post-arrival Assistance

This structured Italy-specific approach makes YES Italy one of the most trusted study abroad consultants in Pune for Italian university admissions.

Scholarships & Financial Aid

Students can benefit from a wide range of regional and merit-based scholarships offered by Italian authorities and universities. These funding opportunities include tuition fee waivers, subsidized accommodation, and monthly living stipends, significantly reducing the overall cost of education. Italy has emerged as an affordable and high-value study destination for Indian students, with education that can be nearly free through public universities and scholarships.

Tuition fees at Italian public universities are income-based; for eligible students, fees can be as low as €150–€600 per year, while standard fees generally range between €900 and €4,000 annually, far lower than in the US or UK.

Popular scholarship options for 2026 include:

MAECI Italian Government Scholarship: Provides a stipend of €9,000 per year (disbursed as €900/month), full tuition waivers, and health insurance.

Additionally, over 60% of international students in Italy benefit from some form of financial aid. Regional DSU scholarships are particularly impactful, as they base eligibility on the ISEE Parificato (family income) rather than just grades, often resulting in a 100% fee waiver and a significant cash stipend to cover living costs.

NUV YUVA 5.0 – Navrachana University’s Youth Festival Legacy

Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], February 10: Navrachana University proudly concluded NUV YUVA 5.0, the fifth edition of its flagship youth festival, marking a significant milestone in a legacy that began with the vision of creating an inclusive, student-centric platform for creativity, collaboration, and holistic growth.

Since its inception, NUV YUVA has steadily evolved—from a university cultural initiative into a prominent inter-university youth festival. Each edition has expanded in scale, participation, and impact, reflecting Navrachana University’s sustained commitment to experiential learning beyond academics. By the time it reached NUV YUVA 5.0 in 2026, the festival had firmly established itself as a vibrant annual tradition that celebrates youth potential, leadership, and cultural exchange.

The fifth edition witnessed enthusiastic participation from six reputed universities across Vadodara, engaging over 400–500 students across cultural, literary, and sporting domains. The Navrachana University campus was transformed into a lively hub of performances, competitions, and collaborative energy—embodying the spirit of youth-led innovation.

A defining feature of the NUV YUVA journey has been its student-driven planning and execution. From the first edition to the fifth, students have been at the forefront of conceptualising, organising, and managing the festival—developing leadership skills, organisational competence, teamwork, and professional confidence.

Adding prestige to NUV YUVA 5.0 was the presence of eminent personalities from the Gujarati film and cultural fraternity. The inauguration ceremony was graced by film producer Vaishal Shah, known for landmark Gujarati cinema such as Chhello Divas, whose association highlighted the festival’s strong connection with contemporary youth culture and regional creative industries.

The Grand Finale was honoured by the presence of noted performer Kairavi Buch, whose engagement added artistic richness and cultural depth to the concluding celebrations, further elevating the festival’s stature.

Among the many crowd-pulling events, Élan – the Fashion Show emerged as the signature attraction of NUV YUVA 5.0. Featuring 100+ student performers and designers, Élan recorded the highest inter-university participation, representing the maximum number of universities on a single stage and drawing an audience of over 1,200 attendees. The showcase stood out for its originality, confident performances, and strong creative expression.

From its first edition to NUV YUVA 5.0, the festival has consistently promoted healthy competition, cultural dialogue, and meaningful connections among young minds. More than a celebration, NUV YUVA has become a reflection of Navrachana University’s values—nurturing talent, encouraging collaboration, and empowering students to lead with creativity and purpose.

World Fashion University Announces Its Establishment — A New Global Platform for Creative Education

Desk News — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 11:00:04 +0530

World Fashion University (WFU) has officially announced its establishment

New Delhi [India], February 07: World Fashion University (WFU) has officially announced its establishment, marking a significant milestone in the global creative education landscape. Developed with a vision to connect academic learning with real-world industry practice, the institution has been created to serve students, professionals, and creative communities across international borders.

The University emerges from years of collaborative groundwork involving educators, industry leaders, and professional organizations operating within fashion, beauty, and craft sectors. Its establishment reflects a growing global recognition that creative industries require structured academic ecosystems capable of integrating innovation, technology, sustainability, and cultural knowledge.

Legal Formation and Regulatory Position

World Fashion University has been incorporated under the Companies Act of the Republic of Uganda through the Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB). Academic development activities are structured with awareness of the regulatory framework governed by the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE), Ministry of Education & Sports.

The institution recognises that institutional licensing, programme accreditation, and degree authorization are subject to regulatory approval processes, and it continues to advance its development within these structured compliance pathways. This approach reflects a long-term commitment to transparency, academic responsibility, and adherence to international governance expectations.

Recognition and Institutional Standing

As the University enters its operational phase, its structured governance and academic positioning have begun receiving acknowledgement across international platforms.

In the IFA Africa Rankings 2026, World Fashion University was placed:

#1 among Uganda’s Top Ranked Private Fashion Universities

Overall Rank #19 across the regional evaluation

This placement reflects the institution’s emerging visibility within specialized fashion education assessments.

The University has also been honoured with the title:

Best Fashion University — 2026

Presented by the International Award Forum

The recognition cited the University’s academic framework, global orientation, and contribution toward advancing creative education initiatives.

Additionally, institutional policy execution and governance structuring were evaluated by International Quality and Standard Certifications Private Limited, resulting in:

Global Ranking Position — #3

This evaluation highlighted the implementation of ISO-aligned policy systems, structured governance practices, and compliance-oriented institutional planning.

These acknowledgements represent developmental milestones during the University’s early establishment phase and are viewed internally as encouragement for continued institutional growth rather than endpoints of achievement.

Academic Scope and Educational Direction

World Fashion University has been structured to address the diverse and evolving needs of the global creative economy. Its academic areas span design, textiles, beauty sciences, craft traditions, and creative entrepreneurship — fields that collectively contribute to employment generation and cultural preservation worldwide.

Programmes are designed across multiple learning levels including certificate training, diploma education, advanced professional pathways, and higher academic tracks. The University’s approach emphasises skill application, conceptual thinking, and industry awareness rather than purely theoretical instruction.

By combining structured coursework with practical exposure, the institution aims to prepare learners not just for employment, but for meaningful participation in creative sectors.

Industry Ecosystem Integration

A defining characteristic of the University is its active connection with industry bodies and professional networks. Through collaborative engagement with global organisations and sector alliances, the institution provides students with opportunities to interact with working professionals, participate in forums, and observe real-time industry dynamics.

This integration reflects a deliberate educational philosophy — that relevance to industry practice is essential for contemporary creative education. Exposure to global platforms enables learners to contextualise their training within broader economic and cultural environments.

Research, Culture, and Sustainability

Beyond teaching programmes, World Fashion University encourages research that connects creative disciplines with technological innovation and sustainable practices. Areas of focus include material innovation, digital design environments, heritage craft documentation, and ethical production awareness.

The University views research as both intellectual contribution and social responsibility — particularly in supporting traditional artisan communities and environmentally responsible practices.

Founder’s Perspective

Commenting on the announcement, Founder & Chancellor Dr. Aravind Lakshminarayanan noted that the establishment of the University represents a continuation of long-standing efforts to empower creative professionals through structured education.

He emphasised that fashion and creative sectors extend beyond aesthetics — contributing to livelihoods, identity, and economic mobility — and that educational institutions must evolve to support these realities.

His vision for the University centres on building an inclusive platform that encourages innovation, confidence, and global engagement among learners and practitioners.

Looking Ahead

With its foundational structure now established, World Fashion University intends to expand academic offerings, deepen international collaboration, and develop specialised research initiatives. The long-term objective is to position the institution as a meaningful contributor to global creative education while maintaining accountability to regulatory and academic standards.

About World Fashion University

World Fashion University is an international academic institution focused on advancing education within fashion, beauty, and creative industries through interdisciplinary learning and industry engagement. It seeks to support creative professionals, preserve cultural knowledge, and promote sustainable innovation across global communities.

From Frustrated Parent to Founder: How One Dad Built ActivityKidz to Solve Weekend Planning

Desk News — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 16:00:16 +0530

Suraj, Founder of ActivityKidz, at a partner venue in Gurugram

New Delhi [India], February 04: If you’ve ever Googled “play area near me” only to find the top result closed down a year ago, Suraj feels your pain. That exact experience drove him to build a platform that now helps over a lakh parents in Delhi NCR figure out what to do with their kids on weekends.

The Weekend Struggle

When Suraj and his wife moved to Gurugram in 2021 with their then five-year-old daughter, they faced the classic newcomer problem: no local network, no school parent groupyet, no neighbours to ask for recommendations.

“Our daughter would want to go somewhere fun, and we had no idea what was actually open, what was good, what was age-appropriate. We’d spend an hour researching together, find something that looked promising, drive there, and it would be unavailable or closed for an exclusive birthday party. Or worse, it had permanently shut down and no one had updated Google.”

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. The kids’ entertainment industry in Delhi NCR is booming. Trampoline parks have literally doubled in the past year, arcades have grown similarly, and play areas are up 50%. But reliable information about these places remains frustratingly scattered.

Think about where the restaurant industry was in the early 2000s. Before Zomato and Swiggy, you had to call a restaurant to check if they were open, ask about timings, inquire about table availability, and hope someone could read out the menu. It sounds absurd now, but that’s exactly where kids’ entertainment is today. No single platform tells you which play area is open, what the pricing is, whether it’s suitable for your child’s age, or if it’s booked out for a private party.

One Platform for Everything

ActivityKidz, the platform Suraj launched in September 2024, attempts to solve this by aggregating everything in one place: trampoline parks, indoor kids play areas, arcades, bowling alleys, escape rooms, go-karting and more. Each venue is verified, with updated information on timings, pricing, and what ages they’re suitable for.

The platform covers Gurugram, Delhi, Noida, Faridabad and Ghaziabad, with 50,000 parents using it every month. And unlike the usual startup story of burning money on ads, Suraj says 70-80% of users arrive organically. “They find us through Google, social media, word of mouth and now even ChatGPT and Perplexity are recommending us,” he adds.

“Parents tell us they can’t believe it exists,” he laughs. “Like, why hasn’t someone done this before? That reaction is the best feedback we could ask for.”

What Parents Actually Get

Beyond just discovery, the platform offers deals. If you’ve priced a trampoline park birthday party lately, you know these can add up quickly. The idea is simple: venues want footfall, parents want value, and a platform in the middle can create wins on both sides.

The platform also tracks what’s new. That expansion of Skyjumper from two to four outlets in Gurugram? The arrival of The Pink Falcon from Jaipur? New spots like Boombastic and Rumble Zone? It’s all there. So is the unfortunate news when places close, because yes, about 10% of venues shut down every year. Better to know before you’ve loaded the kids into the car.

Coming to More Cities

ActivityKidz expanded from Gurugram to Delhi NCR in September 2025, with plans to enter multiple new cities in 2026. If you’re a parent in Bangalore or Mumbai or Kolkata wondering why no one has built this for your city yet, help is on the way.

In the meantime, Delhi NCR parents can find the platform at activitykidz.com. Weekend plans, sorted.

The flexible Major–Minor structure allows students to combine Microbiology with Biochemistry, Biotechnology, or Data Science, expanding both knowledge and employability.

JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) Sets the Benchmark with the M.Sc Hospital Administration Program at SAHS

Desk News — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 22:30:40 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 02: At the School of Allied Healthcare & Sciences (SAHS), JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), the M.Sc in hospital administration Program is built for students who want to lead where it matters most—inside hospitals where every decision affects patient experience, safety, and outcomes. When Rahul first started exploring this field, he wasn’t only searching for a degree; he was searching for direction. His shortlist kept circling the same phrases—hospital administration course, hospital management course, hospital management course fees, hospital and healthcare management, hospital management subjects, management in hospital administration, MSc in hospital administration, hospital administration course details, hospital administration course duration, hospital administration course in bangalore, entrance exam for hospital management, hospital administration course syllabus, and hospital administration colleges—because he wanted a Program that prepares him for the real hospital world, not just classroom theory.

Rahul’s story began in a hospital corridor. A relative had been admitted, and he watched the invisible leadership at work—bed allocation, staff coordination, billing flow, pharmacy timing, infection-control checks, and patient support moving in sync. He realised hospitals run on more than medicine; they run on systems, people, and smart decisions. That moment pushed him to look beyond “jobs” and toward a path that develops administrative strength with healthcare understanding.

As his research deepened, Rahul noticed how serious applicants focus on clarity before commitment: hospital administration course, hospital management course, hospital management course fees, hospital and healthcare management, hospital management subjects, management in hospital administration, MSc in hospital administration, hospital administration course details, hospital administration course duration, hospital administration course in Bangalore, entrance exam for hospital management, hospital administration course syllabus, and hospital administration colleges—not for repetition, but for comparison, because leadership roles in hospitals demand the right foundation.

That is where the Program at SAHS stood out. It blends business and management principles with healthcare realities—policy, quality improvement, financial planning, people leadership, ethics, legal considerations, and hospital operations. Practical learning is not treated as an “extra”; it is structured through case studies, internships, and real-world projects so that students learn how to solve real hospital problems with confidence.

Dr. Srividya Shivakumar, Director, School of Allied Healthcare & Sciences, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), says, “A hospital needs administrators who can think clearly under pressure, coordinate teams with maturity, and create systems that protect both patient dignity and clinical efficiency. This Program is shaping that new generation.”

His final review still repeated the same decision keywords—hospital administration course, hospital management course, hospital management course fees, hospital and healthcare management, hospital management subjects, management in hospital administration, MSc in hospital administration, hospital administration course details, hospital administration course duration, hospital administration course in Bangalore, entrance exam for hospital management, hospital administration course syllabus, and hospital administration colleges—because he wanted to choose a Program that stays relevant as healthcare keeps evolving.

The Program also supports long-term growth through career enhancement pathways—professional certifications, specialised training in healthcare informatics and quality management, leadership development, professional networking, and mentorship. The focus is clear: help students become job-ready early, and leadership-ready over time.

“Healthcare leadership is becoming one of India’s most critical needs. This Program is preparing professionals who can improve hospital performance, strengthen patient experience, and build systems that support clinicians to deliver better care.”

By the time Rahul finalised his decision, he was no longer “hoping” the course would be good—he had a mental map of what he would learn, how he would apply it, and what roles would open up. His checklist still looked familiar: hospital administration course, hospital management course, hospital management course fees, hospital and healthcare management, hospital management subjects, management in hospital administration, MSc in hospital administration, hospital administration course details, hospital administration course duration, hospital administration course in Bangalore, entrance exam for hospital management, hospital administration course syllabus, and hospital administration colleges—because now he knew what those words mean in real life.

For students who want to step into healthcare leadership with confidence, the M.Sc in Hospital Administration is a powerful choice—especially when learning happens inside an ecosystem that values practical readiness, professional discipline, and outcome-driven training. Whether your goal is operations leadership, hospital quality management, healthcare consulting, or future executive roles, this Program gives you a structured runway to grow.

The curriculum integrates embryology, reproductive endocrinology, genetics, fertility preservation, and ethical frameworks, supported by extensive hands-on laboratory training. Students gain real exposure to assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF, ICSI, and cryopreservation, preparing them for the realities of fertility clinics and research environments.

Dr Srividya Shivakumar, Director, School of Allied Healthcare & Sciences, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), says, “Clinical embryology demands scientific precision, emotional intelligence, and ethical clarity. This Program is designed to develop professionals who can uphold all three while contributing meaningfully to reproductive healthcare.”

Shikha also valued the University’s strong clinical partnerships, which translate classroom learning into practice. Her evaluation still echoed the same checklist—MSc Embryology, Embryology course fees, Embryology courses in India, Clinical Embryology courses in India, MSc Clinical Embryology in India, MSc Embryology colleges in India, Embryology course eligibility, MSc Clinical Embryology colleges in India, MSc Embryology salary, scope of embryology, Clinical Embryology courses in Bangalore, MSc Clinical Embryology salary, and MSc Embryology in India—because she wanted clarity not only about learning but also about long-term career pathways.

Graduates of this Program step into roles such as clinical embryologists, andrologists, fertility consultants, research scientists, laboratory managers, educators, and quality specialists. The career landscape continues to expand as assisted reproductive technology grows globally, making embryology one of the most specialised and impactful domains in modern healthcare.

By the time Shikha finalised her decision, she was no longer uncertain. She had a clear view of learning outcomes, clinical readiness, and professional growth. Her final review still reflected the same anchors—MSc Clinical Embryology, Embryology course fees, Embryology courses in India, Clinical Embryology courses in India, MSc Clinical Embryology in India, MSc Embryology colleges in India, Embryology course eligibility, MSc Clinical Embryology colleges in India, MSc Embryology salary, scope of embryology, Clinical Embryology courses in Bangalore, MSc Clinical Embryology salary, and MSc Embryology in India—but now they carried meaning shaped by understanding.

Beyond academics, the Program supports long-term career enhancement through certifications, advanced ART training, global conferences, professional memberships, and research exposure. Students are encouraged to remain lifelong learners in a field where innovation directly influences human lives.

Mr. Mackey Agarwal, Head – Admissions & Marketing, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) and JAIN College, notes, “Students today seek Programs that offer both emotional fulfilment and professional stability. This Program delivers on both, with strong career outcomes and global relevance.”

JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) Powers the Next Wave of Disease Defence with the M.Sc Virology and Immunology Program

Desk News — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 22:30:32 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 02: In a world where one microscopic mutation can ripple into global disruption, the real heroes are often the ones working quietly behind the scenes—reading patterns, decoding immune responses, and turning scientific insight into public protection. At the School of Allied Healthcare & Sciences (SAHS), JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), the M.Sc Virology and Immunology Program is built for students who want to study that invisible battlefield with clarity and purpose. For aspirants searching for MSc Virology, evaluating MSc Virology colleges in India, or comparing MSc Virology colleges in Bangalore, this Program offers a future-ready route into research, diagnostics, vaccine science, and outbreak intelligence.

Virology and immunology are no longer niche sciences. They now shape how hospitals prepare, how communities prevent, how nations respond, and how healthcare systems evolve. The Program goes beyond textbook understanding—explaining not only how viruses behave, but how the body defends itself, where immunity fails, and how clinical strategies are built. That is why students looking at MSc Virology increasingly seek Programs that combine strong fundamentals with practical readiness.

The curriculum is designed to be comprehensive while remaining strongly application-oriented. Students explore viral structure and replication, immunological mechanisms, clinical implications, and vaccinology—learning how science travels from lab bench to patient care. In addition to theoretical depth, learners gain exposure to laboratory-driven methods that prepare them for real roles in clinical and research ecosystems. For those scanning MSc Virology colleges in Bangalore, the Program’s balance of rigorous science and hands-on focus becomes a strong differentiator.

Dr. Srividya Shivakumar, Director, School of Allied Healthcare & Sciences, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), says: “This Program is shaping professionals who are not only learning virology and immunology, but also learning responsibility—because the decisions made in a lab can influence patient outcomes and public health readiness.”

What makes this learning journey meaningful is how it prepares students to function in high-stakes environments. The Program builds habits of precision, evidence-based thinking, ethical judgement, and clinical awareness. Graduates don’t merely “know” the subject—they learn how to interpret data, evaluate immune response patterns, and understand emerging disease behaviour in a way that supports real-world decision-making.

Career pathways after this Program are wide and deeply relevant. Graduates can contribute as research scientists, virologists, clinical immunology professionals, public health specialists, vaccine R&D associates, epidemiology support teams, biotechnology professionals, regulatory affairs specialists, and medical science communicators. As the demand grows across India, students researching MSc Virology colleges in India are also prioritising Programs that open multiple professional doors rather than limiting outcomes to one sector. This is precisely where the Program positions its graduates—at the crossroads of science, healthcare, and national preparedness.

The Bengaluru advantage adds a powerful dimension. As a thriving hub for healthcare, biotechnology, diagnostics, and research collaborations, the city offers an ecosystem where learning feels connected to real progress. For aspirants searching MSc Virology colleges in Bangalore, being in a city that hosts robust health-science networks becomes a major academic and professional edge—especially for internships, exposure, and early career acceleration.

The Program also strengthens the learner beyond science. It develops the ability to communicate complex information clearly, collaborate across interdisciplinary teams, and approach healthcare challenges with cultural sensitivity and ethical maturity. That combination—scientific skill plus social responsibility—creates professionals who can serve both the laboratory and the larger community with equal confidence.

Mr. Mackey Agarwal, Head – Admissions & Marketing, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) and JAIN College, notes: “Students today want Programs with clear outcomes and a strong career runway. This Program delivers a rare mix—scientific depth, professional relevance, and the kind of learning experience students proudly carry into interviews and research environments.”

Choosing this Program is not just about earning a postgraduate degree. It is about joining a discipline that directly influences disease prevention, healthcare innovation, diagnostic accuracy, and community safety. In that sense, pursuing MSc Virology becomes a decision rooted in both ambition and responsibility.

For students comparing MSc Virology colleges in India and exploring MSc Virology colleges in Bangalore, this Program stands out through its modern curriculum focus, practical readiness, and the academic ecosystem of JAIN (Deemed-to-be University). It is an invitation to step into a field that is rapidly evolving—and to become the kind of professional the world increasingly needs: one who understands the virus, respects the immune system, and contributes with confidence.

Children’s Book Trust launches “Book Helps, Mobile Harms” countrywide campaign to promote reading habits among Children beyond digital screens

Desk News — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 18:30:55 +0530

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], January 31: Children’s Book Trust,, a New-Delhi based, India’s pioneering non-profit publisher dedicated to children’s literature, has launched a special awareness initiative titled “Book Helps, Mobile Harms.” The countrywide campaign aims to highlight the importance of cultivating reading habits among children from an early age while drawing attention to the adverse effects of excessive mobile phone usage.

Through the “Book Helps, Mobile Harms” campaign, Children’s Book Trust is addressing growing concerns among parents and educators about the impact of excessive screen time on children. The campaign highlights how overuse of mobile phones adversely affects eyesight, mental well-being, concentration, and overall development. In contrast, it underscores the long-term benefits of reading, including improved focus, imagination, critical thinking, creativity, and sustained knowledge generation, helping children build a healthier and more meaningful relationship with learning, benefits that digital screen exposure often fails to provide.

Mr. Kishore Lal, Chairman, Board of Trustees, Children’s Book Trust, said, “Our goal has never centred around selling books; it is about connecting children with the joy of reading. With the ‘Book Helps, Mobile Harms’ campaign, we are responding to parents’ and educators’ concerns about excessive screen exposure and reaffirming that books remain the most powerful medium for learning, imagination, and value formation.”

With a legacy of over 69 years, the New Delhi-based Children’s Book Trust has played a pivotal role in shaping generations of readers through high-quality, well-illustrated, and affordable Indian children’s literature. Children’s Book Trust offers a choice of over 1,000 affordable children’s books in English, Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telegu, Kannada and Urdu to children, spanning picture books, storybooks, and knowledge-based, value-driven titles.

Ms. Rana Siddiqui Zaman, Lead Strategist, Content, Communications and Promotions added, “Children today are spending far too much time on digital screens. Books help nurture curiosity, imagination, concentration, and a healthy outlook towards life. As a non-profit trust, our goal is to ensure that good books remain accessible and affordable for every child, especially those from low-income families.”

To put the campaign into execution mode Ms. Zaman and others from her team will travel extensively initially across Eastern and North Eastern India, going to different towns and cities; and schools therein to spread the message; interacting with children, parents / guardians and teachers, reinforcing the collective responsibility of society to nurture young minds through books.

In support of the “Book Helps, Mobile Harms” campaign, global data underscores growing concerns about mobile phone usage among children. According to the UNESCO Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report 2023–24, at least 79 education systems worldwide (which is approximately 40% of all education systems worldwide) have introduced bans on smartphone use in classrooms, reflecting rising awareness of how mobile phones can distract students and negatively impact learning outcomes. The report highlights that even the mere presence of a smartphone—with notifications or alerts—can significantly reduce student attention on academic tasks, and that inappropriate or excessive use of technology is linked to poorer focus and diminished academic performance. These international trends add weight to CBT’s campaign, reinforcing the need for balanced digital habits and greater emphasis on traditional reading and sustained engagement with books, especially during early developmental years.

Global research and data highlighted across Google-indexed studies indicate that excessive mobile phone usage among children is increasingly linked to poor concentration, disrupted sleep patterns, eye strain, anxiety, and reduced academic performance. Studies show that prolonged screen exposure—especially before bedtime—can significantly reduce sleep duration, affecting memory, learning ability, and emotional well-being. Experts also warn that early and frequent smartphone use limits sustained attention and deep thinking, encourages passive content consumption, and reduces opportunities for imagination, physical activity, and meaningful social interaction. These findings reinforce the urgent need to balance digital exposure and promote reading habits that support healthier cognitive and emotional development in children.

About Children’s Book Trust: Children’s Book Trust, now in its 69th year is the pioneer in children’s book publishing in India. The trust produces well-written, well-illustrated and well-designed books for children. CBT brings out books that are easy to read and easy on the eyes, including books that will help children to better appreciate India’s cultural heritage.

CBT in their presentation, production and visual interpretations has progressed manifold since it was founded in 1957 by K Shankar Pillai; from Panchatantra tales or Folktales to diversified subjects like Fiction, Heritage, Information, Science, Humour, Environment and Read-Aloud Books. The Trust believes its books will generate a deeper spirit of enquiry in young minds and a healthy, progressive outlook to life and living. The titles are published not only in English and Hindi, but also in many other Indian languages like Bengali, Telegu, Tamil, etc.

CBT books have been included under Adult Education and Science Improvement schemes. Select titles were printed under the ‘Operation Blackboard’ to supply in bulk to various State Governments. CBT which has more than 1000 titles to its credit, also has an exhaustive and authoritative book on ‘Children’s Literature in India’ for documentation and referencing.

The Trust keeps prices of its books affordable, in fact subsidized, in an effort to keep its books within the reach of the average Indian child. CBT books have become a byword for elegance, quality and printing merit. The annual sale of books has increased five-fold. The diversification of subjects has come to cover a large gamut relevant to children and their growing needs. CBT books have been bestowed various national and international awards for its efforts. In all these activities CBT has kept in mind Shankar’s passionate belief that children deserve nothing but the very best.

Backed by a ₹100 crore commitment, Zenith School of AI’s integrated undergraduate program with embedded mini-MBA gears up to reshape tech education

Desk News — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 18:30:43 +0530

As India’s first dedicated engineering curriculum designed around the technology, the program is supported by leading global AI researchers and top India-based edupreneurs, such as KR Mangalam University’s Rohit Gupta

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], January 31: In a development that heralds a significant shift in tech education in the country, Zenith School of AI (zenithschool.ai), India’s first truly AI-native undergraduate school, has announced the launch of its B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence program. Designed for the new-age economy, the program aims to fundamentally reset how AI talent is built in the country with a simple but powerful premise: AI professionals cannot be trained through legacy engineering frameworks but must be shaped via continuous building, deployment, and decision-making in real-world situations.

Coming at a time when artificial intelligence is already moving from being an experimental technology to the economic backbone of developed markets such as the US, Zenith’s program integrates a B.Tech in AI with an embedded mini-MBA. The four-year undergraduate combines deep technical capability with product thinking, business acumen, and leadership skills. The degree is awarded by KR Mangalam University, a UGC-recognised and NAAC A-Grade accredited institution.

Underpinning the launch is a ₹100 crore commitment from Rohit Gupta, Promoter of KR Mangalam University, directed towards advanced academic infrastructure, global academic partnerships, and deep industry integration. The investment reflects a long-term ambition to build a globally competitive AI talent pipeline from India.

Speaking on the launch, Avinash Pandit, Co-founder – Zenith School of AI, said, “Artificial intelligence is no longer a specialization, it is becoming core infrastructure for every industry. With Zenith School of AI, we are making a long-term ₹100 crore commitment to reimagine how AI talent is built in India, starting at the undergraduate level. This program is designed to move beyond conventional engineering education and create professionals who can build, deploy, and scale AI systems in the real world.”

Along with Rohit Gupta, the leadership team at Zenith comprises Avinash Pandit (former IIM-C alumnus who has scaled businesses at BCG, OYO, and Hero Motocorp across 37 countries), Vivekanand Vivek (IIT-BHU alumnus, former Amazon engineer, and Co-founder – Programming Pathshala), and Anoop Garg (IIT-BHU alumnus, widely-followed online educator, and Co-founder – Programming Pathshala). Their prior work has trained 20,000+ students, delivered an average placement of ₹16 LPA, with a highest package of ₹2.7 crore, and placed over 1000 learners at MAANG and unicorn companies, lending strong credibility to Zenith’s outcome-led promise.

Based out of a 28-acre new-gen campus in Gurugram, one of India’s most prominent start-up hubs, Zenith’s ecosystem is supported by industry mentors from leading organizations such as Snapchat, Roku, Booking.com, Walmart, Flipkart, JP Morgan, PhonePe, Samsung, Cars24, Paytm, and several high-growth tech companies. Students work directly with these mentors on live AI problems using real-world data. Global immersion programs in Dubai, Singapore, and Shenzhen, along with participation in international open-source and research initiatives, further prepare students for global AI careers.

From the first year itself, students work on hands-on AI development, live industry externships, and paid domestic and international internships, graduating with portfolios of production-ready AI systems, not just academic credentials. The program’s embedded mini-MBA – delivered by CXOs, founders, and faculty from IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, IIT Mumbai, XLRI, and ISB – is also designed to prepare students for product, growth, and leadership roles, or for building their own ventures as AI-native founders. All of this combines to ensure that learning mirrors how AI teams operate in real organizations: shipping models, working with real data, and solving real business problems.

Avinash Pandit added, “Across industries, we see a clear gap between what traditional engineering graduates know and what AI roles actually demand. Zenith’s AI-native approach is built to close that gap. By combining deep technical training with an integrated Mini-MBA, we are preparing students to go beyond coding models and understand products, users, and business outcomes from day one.”

Guiding the curriculum is an international Board of Academics comprising global AI researchers and practitioners from Cohere, Meta FAIR, Google DeepMind, Naver Labs, and leading European universities. Their role is to ensure Zenith’s curriculum evolves in step with global AI research and industry standards, not static syllabi. Armed with this AI-native curriculum, along with early industry access, global academic leadership, and a ₹100 crore long-term commitment, Zenith aims to set a new benchmark for how AI professionals are trained in India.

About Zenith School of AI

Zenith School of AI is a next-generation undergraduate institution focused exclusively on artificial intelligence education. Built on a foundation of global academic expertise and deep industry integration, Zenith aims to produce AI professionals who can design, build, and deploy intelligent systems at scale.

The B.Tech degree is awarded by KR Mangalam University, Gurugram.

GMAT Not Just for Universities Abroad; Now Opening Doors to Top Colleges in India Too

Desk News — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 21:00:42 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 29: For decades, the GMAT has been viewed as a passport to business schools overseas – a critical requirement for students aspiring to pursue an MBA or MiM at leading universities in the US, Europe, or other global education hubs. But that perception is rapidly evolving. Today, the GMAT is no longer limited to international applications; it is increasingly being accepted by top colleges and universities across India as well.

This shift reflects a broader transformation in management education and emphasizes global benchmarks, standardized evaluation, and career-ready skill sets. As a result, the GMAT has become a powerful gateway to global opportunities, as well as to high-quality management programs closer to home.

An International Test with Growing Indian Recognition

The GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) is designed to assess analytical thinking, problem-solving, and data-driven decision-making – skills that are essential for success in business and management roles. Recognized by over 2,000 institutions worldwide, the test has long been trusted by admissions committees for its ability to fairly and consistently evaluate candidates from diverse academic and professional backgrounds.

In India, this trust is translating into adoption. Several leading business schools and universities now accept GMAT scores for their MBA, MiM (Master in Management), and specialized postgraduate management programs.

For Indian students, this means greater flexibility: one test score can unlock opportunities both domestically and internationally.

Expanding Pathways: MBA and MiM Programs

One of the most significant advantages of the GMAT is the range of programs it supports. While MBA programs remain the most popular choice, MiM programs are gaining traction, particularly among recent graduates and early-career professionals.

MiM programs focus on foundational management concepts, leadership development, and practical business exposure. With GMAT acceptance growing in India, students no longer need to choose between preparing for Indian entrance exams or planning for global applications: they can do both with a single, well-planned strategy.

For working professionals, the GMAT also offers an edge when applying to executive or part-time MBA programs in India. Its emphasis on real-world reasoning and quantitative analysis aligns well with the expectations of programs designed for experienced candidates.

One Test, Multiple Doors

What truly sets the GMAT apart is its versatility. A strong GMAT score allows students to:

Apply to top business schools abroad
Be considered for Indian MBA and MiM programs that accept GMAT scores
Demonstrate readiness for rigorous academic environments
Stand out in competitive applicant pools

In an era where students are looking for maximum return on effort, the GMAT offers exactly that: a single standardized test with global credibility and expanding local relevance.

Strategic Preparation Matters

However, simply deciding to take the GMAT is not enough. The test is known for its adaptive format and emphasis on critical reasoning rather than rote learning. Strategic preparation, expert guidance, and a clear understanding of application goals play a crucial role in achieving a competitive score.

This is where experienced test-prep and admissions-support organizations make a meaningful difference.

How Jamboree India Helps Students Succeed

With decades of experience in test preparation and admissions counseling, Jamboree India has been a trusted partner for students aiming for top management programs in India and abroad. Their GMAT preparation approach goes beyond classroom coaching, focusing on building test-taking strategy, conceptual clarity, and confidence.

Jamboree’s expert faculty help students understand the nuances of the GMAT, including adaptive testing, time management, and score optimization. Personalized study plans ensure that each student’s strengths are sharpened and weaknesses addressed efficiently.

Beyond test prep, Jamboree India also supports students through the application journey. From shortlisting the right MBA or MiM programs to crafting compelling applications and preparing for interviews, students receive end-to-end guidance tailored to their goals, whether those goals lie in India, overseas, or both.

A Smarter Way Forward

As Indian institutions continue to align with global standards, the acceptance of GMAT scores is a welcome development for ambitious students.

For students weighing their options, the GMAT is no longer just an “abroad exam.” It is a powerful tool that opens doors to international universities, to leading Indian colleges, and to diverse management career paths.

With the right preparation and guidance, especially from experienced organizations like Jamboree India, students can leverage the GMAT as a stepping stone to long-term academic and professional success.

‘Shri Rama Charitam’ by Sukumar Das Explores the Life and Character of Shri Rama

Desk News — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 21:00:21 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 29: BlueRose Publishers proudly announces the release of Shri Rama Charitam [The Life and Character of Shri Rama] by Sukumar Das. This remarkable work reflects decades of study, dedication, and the author’s lifelong pursuit of exploring India’s cultural, spiritual, and historical foundations. The book is now available for readers worldwide.

At 79, Kolkata-based author Sukumar Das, a double M.A. and retired IAS officer, marks his literary debut with Shri Rama Charitam [The Life and Character of Shri Rama], now available on Amazon. Though this is his first published work, the author carries a lifelong burden — an unfulfilled literary mission entrusted to him decades ago.

In 1958, his father assigned him an extraordinary responsibility:

To liberate people from imposed faith in anthropomorphic Gods, and
To unearth the truths of Pre-Historic India, so that society may be enlightened about its cultural, social, and religious missteps.

Life, however, offered him the space to pursue this monumental project only after retirement, a moment when time itself felt scarce. “I had no particular charm in publishing my first book,” he admits. “My agony lies in not having enough time left to write the 50 books I had hoped to complete.”

His current work reflects three core objectives:

Liberating humanity from unquestioned belief in anthropomorphic deities,
Illuminating ancient India’s forgotten or distorted histories, and
Laying the foundation for a modern, science-based understanding of religion grounded in the Dynamic Truism of Reality of Creation and the Creative Process.

The themes he explores push readers to question inherited beliefs and reconsider the origins of rituals, traditions, and cultural conditioning. His writing urges society to examine whether worshipping deified humans or animals — with significant investment of faith, time, and resources — truly elevates the human spirit in an age when science reshapes our understanding of the universe.

A man with no occupation now other than maintaining his health and extending his years long enough to continue writing, Das remains steadfast in his pursuit of intellectual reform. He advocates for:

Rational rethinking of ancient faith systems,
Radical reforms in Indian social structures, and
The birth of a contemporary, science-based spiritual understanding.

Despite his stature and experience, he offers no advice to young writers. “Writing is born from one’s inner urgings,” he says simply.

What he hopes to leave behind is a question for his readers — a question meant to awaken thought rather than impose belief:
Can any anthropomorphic deity truly be the creator or regulator of the universe, or is it time for humanity to envision a new, knowledge-based religion rooted in the dynamic truths of creation itself?

The book is available on – https://www.amazon.in/Shri-Rama-Charitam-Sukumar-Das/dp/9371390719

Where Precision Meets Purpose: Shaping the Unsung Heroes of Modern Surgery at JAIN (Deemed-to-be University)

Desk News — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 21:00:14 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], January 29: Behind every successful surgery is a team that works with quiet precision, unwavering focus, and deep clinical expertise.

The program has evolved from academic structures historically recognised as BSc Anesthesia and Operation Theatre Technology, BSc Operation theatre technology, and BSc operation theatre & Anaesthesia technology, and is now strengthened under a modern, outcome-driven curriculum aligned with contemporary hospital environments. This evolution ensures continuity for learners familiar with legacy pathways while firmly positioning B.AOTT as the current and recognised degree.

What sets this program apart is its immersive learning design. Students are trained through a balanced blend of classroom instruction, advanced simulation, and extensive hospital exposure. From understanding complex anaesthesia protocols to mastering operation theatre workflows, the anesthesia course and operation theatre course components prepare learners for high-responsibility clinical roles. The curriculum structure builds strongly on foundations traditionally associated with BSc Anesthesia technology, BSc OT and anesthesia technology, and BSc anaesthesia and operation theatre technology, now delivered with enhanced clinical depth.

Speaking about the vision behind the program, Dr. Dinesh Nilkant, Pro Vice Chancellor, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), says, “Healthcare today demands professionals who are not only technically competent but also ethically grounded and clinically confident. Through the B.AOTT program, we are shaping professionals who will be central to surgical safety and patient care in the years ahead.”

Students pursuing the program gain hands-on expertise in airway management, patient monitoring, anaesthetic equipment handling, and emergency response. The anesthesia technician course and anesthesia technology course components are carefully scaffolded to ensure graduates can seamlessly integrate into hospital teams from day one. This training also reflects the learning outcomes earlier mapped under BSc anesthesia course, BSc anesthesia course duration, and BSc in anaesthesia, now strengthened within the B.AOTT framework.

A defining feature of the program is its mandatory on-job training across leading hospitals such as Manipal Group of Hospitals, Apollo Hospitals, Aster DM Healthcare, and Sri Sathya Sai Hospitals. This exposure allows students to apply theoretical learning in real surgical settings, a progression historically sought by students evaluating BSc anesthesia eligibility and BSc Anesthesia course pathways.

Dr. Srividya Shivakumar, Director, School of Allied Healthcare & Sciences, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), notes, “Our focus is to create professionals who understand the gravity of the operation theatre environment. The B.AOTT program instils discipline, clinical judgement, and a deep respect for patient safety.”

Career opportunities after graduation are diverse and impactful. Graduates can work as Anaesthesia Technologists, Operation Theatre Technicians, Critical Care Technicians, Clinical Educators, or Medical Equipment Specialists. The professional scope traditionally linked with BSc Anesthesia, BSc anesthesia and operation theatre technology, and anesthesia and operation theatre technology continues to expand under the B.AOTT structure.

Career growth does not stop at graduation. Students receive structured guidance for after BSc anaesthesia technology and courses after BSc operation theatre technology, supporting progression into advanced certifications, healthcare management, and specialised clinical roles. Training pathways that once operated under operation technology course frameworks are now more robustly aligned within the B.AOTT ecosystem.

According to Mr. Mackey Agarwal, Head – Admissions & Marketing, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) and JAIN College, “Students today are seeking careers with purpose, stability, and growth. The Bachelor in Anaesthesia and Operation Theatre Technology delivers exactly that—strong employability, clear progression, and long-term relevance in the healthcare sector.”

In a country where healthcare demand continues to rise, professionals trained in anaesthesia and operation theatre support are indispensable. The B.AOTT program at JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) stands as a gateway for students who want to make a meaningful difference—every single day, in every operation theatre they serve.

AŚVA – Advanced Schools Vision Alliance Launched at The Lawrence School, Lovedale

Desk News — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 21:00:07 +0530

Ooty (Tamil Nadu) [India], January 29: The national launch of AŚVA – Advanced Schools Vision Alliance was held on Thursday, January 29, at The Lawrence School, Lovedale, in a vibrant and thoughtfully curated ceremony that marked a significant moment in India’s evolving education landscape. The event brought together distinguished leaders from government, academia, science, research, and school education on a common platform, underscoring the collective commitment to reimagining school education in the country and more than 250 school leaders participated in the event.

Shri Sanjay Kumar, IAS, Secretary, Department of School Education & Literacy, Ministry of Education, Government of India, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest and formally launched the AŚVA website, signalling the commencement of a nationwide collaborative movement aimed at advancing excellence in school education.

As part of the programme, Dr. S. K. Satheesh, Chairman, Divecha Centre for Climate Change, and Dean, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), inaugurated a Climate Laboratory on The Lawrence School campus. The facility reflects AŚVA’s strong emphasis on experiential, inquiry-driven, and research-linked learning at the school level, particularly in areas of national and global relevance such as climate science.

The hybrid launch event featured an eminent panel of speakers who shared insights into education, science, technology, research, and national development, highlighting the urgency and opportunity to align school education with India’s long-term aspirations.

India today stands at a defining threshold. With a young population, growing confidence in its capabilities, and increasing global influence, the choices made in education at this juncture will determine whether this moment translates into sustained national momentum. AŚVA seeks to respond to this imperative by bringing together forward-thinking schools, nationally respected academic and research institutions, and experienced implementation partners to build early models of excellence in teaching and learning—and enable them to scale across the country.

The initiative was conceived a few years ago with Dr. G. Madhavan Nair, Former Chairman of ISRO, as its Chief Patron, and has been actively mentored by Dr. K. Kasturirangan, Chairman of the Committee that drafted the National Education Policy (NEP). A collective of over 500 senior academicians, scientists, technologists, and management consultants forms the intellectual and operational core of AŚVA, bringing deep expertise in pedagogy, technology, and institutional transformation.

Hub–Node Model for Nationwide Impact

AŚVA programmes will be implemented across India through a Hub–Node model. Select schools will function as Hub Schools at regional, state, district, and city or village levels, based on defined criteria. These hubs will serve as resource centres, sharing academic, technological, and teacher-training resources with Node Schools across their regions.

This inclusive and scalable approach envisions equitable access to quality education—bridging disparities across geography and infrastructure, and ensuring that innovation and excellence are not confined to a few privileged institutions.

Aligning with NEP and the Vision of Viksit Bharat

Aligned with the National Education Policy’s vision of a Viksit Bharat—a self-reliant, innovative, inclusive, and globally respected nation—AŚVA focuses on:

Exposing students to real-world scientific and social challenges, national missions, and innovation pathways
Enabling scientists, researchers, engineers, and R&D institutions to become active partners in school education

Empowering teachers to evolve from information providers into facilitators of learning

Introducing schools to cutting-edge digital tools, platforms, and academic content

Promoting critical thinking, experimentation, and interdisciplinary learning, creating a seamless journey from Curiosity to Competence to Creativity to Contribution

AŚVA’s far-reaching initiative—connecting advanced projects from premier research and academic institutions with schools, conducting comprehensive teacher development programmes, and deploying futuristic educational technologies through its Hub–Node framework—is expected to make a transformative impact on India’s education ecosystem in the years ahead.

Founder’s Day Celebrations Held at REVA University

Newsvoir Press Release — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 17:00:14 +0530

Premier educational institution REVA University hosted ‘Founder’s Day’ at the REVA University campus on January 6, 2026. The annual event was held on the occasion of the birthday of Dr. P. Shyama Raju, Chancellor, REVA University.

Air Chief Marshal Fali H. Major, Former Chief of the Air Staff, Indian Air Force; Nirupama Menon Rao, Indian Diplomat, Former Foreign Secretary and Ambassador and Jayasudha, Indian Actress, were honoured with the prestigious REVA Lifetime Achievement Award.
Air Chief Marshal Fali H. Major, former Chief of the Air Staff, receives the REVA Lifetime Achievement Award from Dr. P. Shyama Raju, Chancellor, at REVA University Founder’s Day, Jan 6, 2026
Addressing the gathering during the celebrations held on campus, Dr. P. Shyama Raju reflected on his inspiring journey – from growing up in a small village in Andhra Pradesh to founding REVA University. He shared how Founder’s Day has evolved into a meaningful annual tradition that celebrates excellence and service.
“Founder’s Day at REVA University is a cherished occasion for the entire REVA family. Each year, we honour eminent personalities from diverse fields, recognising their outstanding contributions to society. The REVA Lifetime Achievement Award is our way of expressing gratitude to individuals whose lives and work continue to inspire generations,” he said.
Speaking about the values that have guided him through his journey, Dr. Raju emphasised, “Ethics, discipline, hard work, respect for elders, and the courage to face challenges are what truly sustain me. These are the qualities students must imbibe, and to me, this is the true essence of education.”
Speaking after receiving the award, Air Chief Marshal Fali Homi Major expressed his heartfelt gratitude and reflected on the principles that shaped his distinguished career. He said that everything he had achieved stemmed from professionalism, unwavering commitment, and consistent hard work. Emphasising leadership, he noted that true vision is rooted in courage, commitment, and perseverance.
He also highlighted three core lessons everyone should strive to emulate in life. The first, he said, is discipline – never a limitation, but a source of freedom. The second is integrity, which he described as non-negotiable. The third lesson, he emphasised, is the importance of making a positive difference through one’s work. “Innovate, strive for excellence, stay grounded, and always give back to the nation,” he urged.
Speaking after receiving the award, Nirupama Menon Rao observed that universities are never created by accident. She described them as temples of learning – acts of collective belief that education must shape not only professional ambition, but also a deep sense of responsibility. She also said that learning was considered as pilgrimage not merely transactional.
Reflecting on the contemporary moment, she noted that we live in an age marked by anxiety about leadership, making thoughtful leadership more vital than ever. Drawing from her years in public service, she said, “I have learnt that leadership is quieter than we imagine. It is far more demanding. Leadership is not about dominating a room, but about holding it – listening carefully, reading context, understanding complexities, and knowing when restraint is wiser than action.”
Speaking candidly about her journey as a woman leader, she addressed the realities of breaking glass ceilings and navigating power structures. “For most women, the path is linear and involves constant negotiation with expectations and invisible rules – often even before entering the space,” she said. “Yet women persist not because we seek exception or indulgence, but because society cannot afford to waste talent.”
She emphasised that sidelining women in leadership is not merely unjust, but ineffective. She concluded by noting that what women bring to leadership is not softness or sentimentality, but depth – an acute sensitivity to consequences and a clear understanding that power always has human costs.
In her acceptance speech, Jayasudha said she was deeply honoured to receive the award alongside other eminent personalities. Reflecting on her journey in cinema, she noted that every film she acted in reminded her of the responsibility she owed to her audience and well-wishers.
She added that the moment reaffirmed her belief that true excellence is rooted in integrity, perseverance, and unwavering commitment.
As part of its Founder’s Day celebrations, REVA University unveiled RIA – the REVA Intelligent Assistant, an AI-powered humanoid developed in-house by REVA students and faculty, marking a significant milestone in the university’s innovation-led academic journey.
The humanoid was unveiled by the Chancellor in the presence of industry leaders, senior leadership, faculty, students, parents, and guests. Designed as a smart campus assistant, RIA will welcome visitors, answer queries on academics, admissions, and facilities, provide digital campus navigation, and share QR codes for routes and information downloads, enhancing the overall visitor experience.
The Founder’s Day Event held at the REVA University campus, was presided over by Chancellor Dr. P. Shyama Raju. The occasion was also graced by Umesh S. Raju, Pro Chancellor; Dr. Sanjay R. Chitnis, Vice Chancellor; and Dr. M. Dhanamjaya, Registrar, family members, trustees, faculty and his well-wishers.

India’s Pinnacle of Educational Excellence: The Iconic Institutions of 2026

Desk News — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 19:00:28 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 28: The “Iconic Institutions of 2026” annual report by Outlook and ICARE highlights higher education institutions that exemplify academic excellence, innovation, and societal impact with the objective to guide students and parents in making informed choices. In a competitive and rapidly evolving job market, selecting “the right course and the right institution” is critical.

India’s higher education landscape reflects a dynamic blend of tradition, innovation, and global ambition. From engineering, medical and health sciences, to management, liberal arts, and commerce, the country boasts institutions that set benchmarks not just nationally, but internationally.

Aligned with India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the report emphasises quality education, industry alignment, research, innovation, and inclusivity, with a target to raise the Gross Enrolment Ratio to 50% by 2035. India is witnessing increased international recognition, reflected in its strongest-ever QS World University Rankings 2026 performance. Through curriculum co-creation, internships, applied research, and experiential learning, industry-academia partnerships bridge skill gaps and enhance employability that benefits students, institutions, and employers alike.

At the forefront of technical education are the IITs, established under Jawaharlal Nehru’s vision to cultivate scientists and technologists for a self-reliant India. Complementing the 23 IITs are institutions such as BITS Pilani, VIT Vellore, and the NITs, known for cutting-edge research, robust campus placements, and industry-ready graduates.

Public institutions like IISc Bangalore, the University of Delhi, the University of Hyderabad, Banaras Hindu University, and the IITs at Bombay, Delhi, and Kharagpur, alongside private leaders such as Jio Institute Pune and Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), have earned the prestigious “Institution of Eminence” status, granting them autonomy to compete globally.

Engineering- and technology-led education thrives across a host of multidisciplinary institutions.

Where AI Meets Creativity: A New CBSE School Redefines Learning in Surat

Desk News — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 19:00:21 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 28: If you’re a parent in Surat, you’ve probably had this thought: “I want my child to get a great education, but I also want them to actually enjoy learning.”

That’s harder to find than it should be.

Most schools either prioritise academics heavily and overlook the rest, or they discuss “holistic development” but fail to follow through. GROW CBSE SCHOOL: The school is now open, with admissions currently underway, andit seems to be trying something different, and it’s worth paying attention to.

Learning That Actually Sticks

The school is built around the “7 Layers of Learning” model. In plain terms: instead of teaching a concept once and moving on, they teach it seven different ways: through activities, visuals, stories, hands-on practice, real-life examples, and more.

Why does this matter?

Because when a child sees the same idea from multiple angles, it sticks. They don’t just memorise it for the exam: they actually understand it. And that’s the kind of learning that lasts.

The whole approach is activity-based. Kids learn by doing, not by sitting quietly and copying from the board. It’s less stressful, more engaging, and honestly, just makes more sense.

Tech That’s Actually Useful

A lot of schools throw around words like “AI” and “robotics” to sound modern. GROW CBSE SCHOOL is putting real infrastructure behind it.

They’re setting up what they’re calling India’s 2nd-largest AI Lab: where students don’t just hear about artificial intelligence; they actually work with it. Right next door is a full Robotics Lab, where kids can build things, solve problems, and learn to think logically and creatively.

This isn’t about turning every child into a coder. It’s about giving them early exposure to the tools shaping the world they’ll grow up in.

Sports and Play: Taken Seriously

The school actually seems to care about physical development. There’s a jungle gym, play zones, and a big playground because kids need to move and explore. That’s essential, not optional.

But they’re not stopping at “just let them play.” Every sport will have a professional coach, so children actually learn skills properly. And every activity, sports, arts, and skill labs, comes with certification. It sends a message: what you do outside the textbook matters too.

Reports That Make Sense

Report cards can be frustrating, just marks and generic comments, but not much real insight. GROW CBSE SCHOOL is introducing weekly mind-mapping report cards that show how your child is thinking, how they’re connecting ideas, where they’re strong, and where they need support.

It’s a shift from “did they pass?” to “are they learning?” That’s a big difference.

Smarter Use of Technology

Instead of handing out tablets for everything, they’re using clickers in the classroom, simple devices that keep kids engaged without constant screen time. Starting from Standard 3, digital learning will be introduced in a structured way, at the right age, with proper guidance. It’s about balance.

Culture, Without the Boring Bits

The school is bringing mythology into the curriculum, but through storytelling, memory tricks, and fun tips. The goal isn’t to preach or test every detail. It’s to help children connect with their roots and understand values without making it feel like another chapter to mug up.

Affordable Despite Everything

Here’s the surprising part: with everything they’re offering, AI labs, robotics, professional coaches, modern teaching methods, the school is keeping fees affordable. This isn’t an elite-only campus. It’s for regular Surat families who want the best without breaking the bank.

Why It Matters

GROW CBSE SCHOOL seems to understand what Surat families want: children who succeed and stay grounded. Children who are confident and have character.

It’s not just another CBSE school with fancy brochures. It’s a genuine attempt to rethink what school can be: a place where learning is engaging, every child is seen, and progress is visible.

If you’re looking for something beyond the usual options, this is worth keeping an eye on. Admissions are now open, inviting families to take the first step toward a smarter, more engaging learning journey for their children.

With guidance from Hon’ble Vice Chancellor Dr Mohan Waman on how to connect with nature and develop an ecological consciousness and a presentation by noted actor and artist Mr Sayaji Shinde on the connection between learning and action through knowledge, students enjoyed their time at the camp.

To further engage, faculty and students from the university initiated the healthcare program to improve community health and awareness in Shelarwadi Village. This program was attended by 120 villagers, along with their Sarpanch.

“The ultimate goal of an education is to produce responsible and aware citizens,” said Dr. Somnath P. Patil, Pro-Chancellor of Dnyaan Prasad Global University. “While academic performance is important, being a part of the community is also part of our mission as a university. Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts provide our students with empathy, social awareness and civic responsibility.”

With these types of initiatives, Dnyaan Prasad Global University confirms its commitment to developing a higher education environment that provides a substantial contribution to society and develops leaders who have a social conscience.

Why Indian Students at MIT University Sikkim Are Prioritizing Skills Along with Degrees

Desk News — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 22:00:11 +0530

Sikkim [India], January 23: In its very first admission cycle, MIT University Sikkim has received more than 200 completed applications and close to 5,000 student inquiries from across India. For a newly established university in a small Himalayan state, these numbers signal something significant: students are changing what they want from higher education.

Education experts say this isn’t just about one university. It reflects a nationwide shift toward skill-based learning, affordable education, and safer campus environments — and MIT University Sikkim seems to tick all these boxes.

Management and Information Technology University, Sikkim, offers only the regular mode of study, and students can apply directly to the University. We focus on quality, not quantity. Therefore, MIT University will offer limited seats for admissions in 2026, with a strong goal of achieving one hundred per cent placement for the first batch.

Why Are Students Choosing Mountain Universities?

Across India, a clear pattern is emerging. Students are moving away from crowded metro campuses and choosing universities in hill stations and smaller towns instead.

The reasons are practical. Living costs in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore have become unaffordable for middle-class families. Hostel fees, food, transport, and daily expenses add up quickly. In contrast, mountain-based universities offer significantly lower costs without compromising on education quality.

But it’s not just about money. Safety is a major concern for parents, especially those sending daughters to study away from home. Sikkim, known as one of India’s safest and most peaceful states, provides reassurance. The calm, pollution-free environment also helps students focus better on academics.

This combination — affordability, safety, and a distraction-free atmosphere — is making mountain universities an attractive alternative to traditional metro colleges.

What Makes MIT University Stand Out?

MIT University Sikkim is being built around a simple but powerful idea: education should prepare students for jobs, not just give them degrees.

The university focuses heavily on vocational and skill-based education. Instead of spending all their time in classrooms listening to lectures, students work in skill labs, attend practical training sessions, and learn through real-world applications.

This approach directly addresses what students and parents are asking for today: Will this course help me get employed? Will I gain actual skills that companies value?

University officials say the curriculum is designed to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and industry requirements. Students don’t just study theories — they practice, experiment, and build confidence in applying what they learn.

Another major factor is government backing. MIT University Sikkim operates with support from the Government of Sikkim, which adds institutional credibility and long-term stability — something private colleges often lack.

Industry Partnerships and Job Readiness

One of the most ambitious plans at MIT University Sikkim involves industry collaboration. The university is in discussions with nearly 100 multinational companies to create structured training programs, internships, and skill certification opportunities for students.

While these partnerships are still being finalised, the intent is clear: students should graduate with real industry exposure, not just theoretical knowledge.

In today’s job market, employers prioritise candidates who understand workplace demands and possess job-ready skills. MIT University Sikkim’s focus on employability through industry tie-ups positions it as a forward-thinking institution aligned with modern career needs.

The Growing Importance of Vocational Education

Vocational education is no longer seen as a backup option. Across India, students are actively choosing vocational courses over traditional academic programs because they offer clear career pathways and practical skills.

The rise in graduate unemployment has changed how families view education. A degree alone doesn’t guarantee a job anymore. What matters now is whether students can demonstrate real skills, solve problems, and contribute from day one.

MIT University Sikkim’s vocational focus reflects this national shift. By combining academic learning with hands-on training, the university is preparing students for actual employment, not just exams.

UGC Recognition and Higher Education Validity

An important question many students ask: Will this degree be recognised for further studies?

The answer is yes. MIT University Sikkim is UGC-recognised, which means its degrees are valid for postgraduate programs, PhD, and higher studies in India and abroad. Graduates have the same opportunities as students from any other recognised university.

Admission Process and Quality Standards

University authorities have made it clear: registration does not guarantee admission. All applications are being carefully reviewed. Admissions will be offered only to students who meet eligibility criteria and academic standards.

This merit-based selection process ensures that quality is maintained and only serious, qualified students are enrolled.

A Signal of Changing Priorities

The strong response to MIT University Sikkim isn’t just a success story for one institution. It represents a fundamental change in how Indian students and parents are choosing higher education.

They’re no longer chasing big names or metro campuses blindly. Instead, they’re asking practical questions about employability, affordability, safety, and skill development.

Universities that can answer these questions convincingly — like MIT University Sikkim — are the ones gaining trust and applications.

A key reason families choose SDMCA is its strong focus on career outcomes. The School works closely with industry partners, design studios, startups, and corporate organisations to create internship and placement opportunities. Students gain exposure to real briefs, live projects, and external juries—an approach consistent with practices at the top Design colleges in Bangalore.

Beyond placements, SDMCA actively encourages entrepreneurship. Students are supported to explore freelancing, startup ideas, and independent design studios.

This forward-thinking approach is one reason SDMCA is increasingly mentioned alongside the best Design colleges in Bangalore and the top Design colleges in India.

Mr. Mackey Agarwal, Head – Admissions & Marketing, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) and JAIN College, explains, “Today’s design students want both security and freedom. Our B.Des Programs offer strong placement support while also nurturing entrepreneurial thinking, so graduates can choose their own paths with confidence.”

A Decision That Shapes Identity and Impact

Choosing from among many Design colleges in Bangalore is not just about rankings—it is about finding a place where creativity is respected, individuality is encouraged, and futures are built with intent. At SDMCA, being unique is not a slogan; it is a way of learning, thinking, and designing.

By aligning with the practices of the best Design colleges in India and the expectations seen across the top Design colleges in Bangalore, SDMCA offers a Bachelor of Design experience that is relevant, rigorous, and inspiring.

For parents, it offers assurance of quality education, strong career pathways, and holistic development. For students, it offers a launchpad to turn imagination into influence.

Vocational Education vs Distance Education: Which One Truly Builds a Career? MIT University Sikkim Explains

Desk News — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 19:30:50 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 22: In a significant revelation that could reshape career decisions for millions of Indian youth, industry experts and education analysts have unanimously declared vocational education as 10 times more effective than distance education in building sustainable careers and ensuring immediate employability.

Several educational institutions, including MIT University Sikkim, one of the best university in north east, have shifted their focus towards skill-based vocational programmes after observing the stark difference in graduate employability outcomes compared to traditional learning models.

Recent data from the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) shows that 85 per cent of vocational education graduates secure employment within three months of course completion, compared to a mere 35-40 per cent placement rate for distance education graduates.

“The difference is stark and undeniable. Vocational education delivers job-ready professionals while distance education produces certificate holders with limited practical skills,” said Rajesh Kumar Sharma, Senior Industry Analyst at the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

Hands-On Training Makes the Difference

The primary advantage of vocational education lies in its practical, skill-based approach. Unlike distance education, which relies heavily on theoretical knowledge and self-study, vocational programmes provide hands-on training, live projects, and industry internships that prepare students for real-world challenges.

Priya Mehta, HR Director at a leading manufacturing firm, told ANI: “We have stopped considering distance education candidates for technical roles. They lack practical exposure. Vocational graduates, however, can start contributing from day one.”

Government’s Strong Support

The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has been aggressively promoting vocational education under the Skill India Mission, with over 1.5 crore youth trained across various sectors including healthcare, IT, hospitality, automotive, and manufacturing.

National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has set an ambitious target of providing 50 per cent of youth with vocational skills by 2025, recognising it as the key driver of India’s economic growth and employment generation.

Industry Demand and Skill Gap

India currently faces a massive skill shortage across critical sectors. The healthcare industry needs 2.5 million trained professionals, IT sector requires 1.8 million skilled workers, and the automotive industry has a demand for 900,000 technicians.

“This gap cannot be filled by distance education graduates who lack hands-on competence. Only vocational training can address this crisis,” stated Dr Anjali Verma, Vocational Training Expert and former AICTE official.

Success Stories

Vikram Singh (24), a vocational diploma holder in electrical technology, now earns Rs 45,000 per month as a senior technician. “My cousin spent three years on distance education and is still jobless. I trained for 18 months and got immediate placement,” he shared.
Similarly, Neha Gupta, who completed vocational training in healthcare management, now manages operations at a 200-bed hospital. “Practical exposure during training gave me real-world confidence that no distance course could provide,” she said.

Educational experts and career counsellors are now advising students to prioritise vocational education over distance learning for better career prospects.

“If employability is your goal, vocational education is the only logical choice. It’s faster, more effective, and delivers tangible career outcomes,” concluded Suresh Patel, Career Guidance Expert.

With NSDC-certified programmes, industry partnerships, and guaranteed placement support, vocational education has emerged as India’s most powerful tool for youth empowerment and economic development.

The message is clear: skill-based vocational training is not just better—it’s 10 times better than distance education for building real careers.

Mr. Mackey Agarwal, Head – Admissions & Marketing, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) and JAIN College, observes, “Parents and students today look for programmes that ensure relevance, responsibility, and return on effort. This Masters in UI UX Design delivers all three.”

A Decision That Shapes Long-Term Relevance

Choosing a postgraduate path is not just about education; it is about future resilience. As digital experiences become central to every industry, User Experience Design stands as a career that combines creativity, logic, and empathy. This Master Degree in User Experience Design empowers learners to influence systems, not just screens.

Adarsh World School, Dwarka Leads the Way in Emotional Intelligence and Resilience Building with Strong Student Outcomes

Desk News — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 17:30:37 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 20: As modern education evolves, Adarsh World School, Dwarka, has taken a forward-thinking step by embedding India’s First Mental Health Education Curriculum by ‘The Mind Sync’ into its daily timetable, ensuring that emotional skills grow alongside academic excellence. This integration reflects the school’s belief that confident, expressive, emotionally grounded children learn, collaborate, and adapt better in an ever-changing world.

Conceptualised by Dr. Shivam Dubey, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, and led by Mr. Manas Dubey, Founders of The Mind Sync, the programme aligns strongly with the growing emphasis by the Ministry of Education and NCERT on embedding emotional well-being into mainstream schooling. Its successful implementation was enabled by the dedicated efforts of our visionary mental health advocate, Mr. Virender Gupta, whose work in actively spreading awareness of mental health education across Delhi played a pivotal role in bringing this programme to the school. Additionally, Senior Programme Manager, Ms. Rashika Khandelwal, has ensured a deeply contextual and smooth implementation at Adarsh World School, making the programme feel like a natural extension of the school’s learning culture.

Teachers completed a specialised certification pathway that qualified them as Mental Health Educators. This training has not only equipped teachers to support students with clarity and sensitivity but has also enhanced their emotional balance, communication skills, and professional confidence, an impact they have acknowledged. With this strengthened capacity, teachers now naturally weave mindfulness cues, emotional vocabulary, reflective dialogue, and calm classroom practices into daily routines.

Once the foundational routines were established with the help of a research-proven curriculum which included mindfulness, emotional check-ins, reflective questions, problem-solving and positive psychology activities, the school conducted its first round of two assessments under The Mind Sync framework i,e. Self-Awareness and Self-Management. Students showed remarkable growth across both. In the Self-Awareness assessment, which measured their ability to identify emotions, recognise strengths, express needs, and understand their internal experiences, students achieved an impressive 97.82%, reflecting strong emotional clarity for their age group. Teachers observed that they became more articulate about their feelings, more confident during classroom discussions, and more comfortable sharing challenges without hesitation. Similarly, in the Self-Management assessment, which evaluates how well students regulate emotions, manage stress, stay focused, follow routines, and make calm decisions, students demonstrated 97.55% progress. This translated into visible improvements in impulse control, attention span, and everyday behaviour routines, with teachers noting reduced classroom anxiety and more mindful, steady responses during transitions and assessments.

These results reflect a deeply encouraging trend: students are not just learning neuroscience concepts; they are applying them independently in real moments of stress, conflict, and academic challenge. Younger students used breathing techniques to calm down, while older students demonstrated maturity in decision-making, peer interactions, and task completion.

Parents, too, shared that children were more expressive at home, more independent in managing small challenges, and more thoughtful in their communication — reinforcing the strength of a school-home ecosystem.

Reflecting on the outcomes and impact of The Mind Sync curriculum, Dr Shilpi Bhardwaj, Vice Principal, Adarsh World School, shared, “In today’s rapidly changing world, schools must educate beyond textbooks. At Adarsh World School, we have always believed that education must evolve with a child’s needs. Integrating The Mind Sync’s curriculum into everyday classrooms has helped our students express themselves better and approach challenges with calm and clarity. When children feel understood, emotionally safe, and confident, learning naturally flourishes. This is the kind of education that creates lasting impact.”

Through this programme, Adarsh World School is setting a benchmark for how Indian schools can prepare students for the future: not only academically skilled but emotionally intelligent, self-aware, and resilient. The school’s commitment to this integration makes it clear that when emotional well-being becomes part of daily schooling, children flourish in learning, in relationships, and in life.

As the work deepens, the school remains committed to shaping learners who are academically capable, emotionally grounded, socially aware, and ready to navigate the demands of a rapidly changing world. In doing so, Adarsh World School stands as an example of how emotional development and academic excellence grow strongest when nurtured together.

Vision of Mrs. Tilottama Mallik: How DPS Megacity Redefines Holistic Education for Modern Learners

Desk News — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 17:30:32 +0530

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], January 21: As an educator and as the Principal of DPS Megacity, I have always believed that education is deeply personal. It is not only about lessons taught in classrooms or marks secured in examinations, but about the kind of individuals our children grow up to become. Every morning when I walk through the corridors of our school, I am reminded that each child carries a story, a dream, and an immense potential waiting to be nurtured.

Parents today look for more than academic success when choosing a school for their children. They seek an institution that understands children as individuals and prepares them for life. DPS Megacity has earned its reputation as one of the best ICSE school in Kolkata because we focus on balanced growth—academic strength supported by values, discipline, creativity, and emotional well-being.

Education Beyond Textbooks

At DPS Megacity, holistic education is not a concept we discuss only in meetings; it is something we practise every day. Each child learns differently, grows differently, and expresses themselves differently. Recognising this diversity is essential. Our role as educators is not to mould students into a single pattern, but to guide them towards discovering their own strengths.

We believe learning should encourage curiosity. Children should feel comfortable asking questions, sharing opinions, and even making mistakes. It is through this process that real learning takes place. When students feel secure and understood, their confidence naturally grows.

Academic Learning with Understanding

Academic excellence remains an important pillar of our institution. The ICSE curriculum allows us to develop strong fundamentals, clarity of concepts, and effective communication skills. However, academic success at DPS Megacity is never driven by pressure alone. Our focus is on understanding rather than memorisation.

Teachers encourage discussion, application-based learning, and independent thinking. Assessments are used not only to measure performance but also to understand where a child needs support. Each student’s progress matters, and individual attention ensures that no child feels left behind.

Teachers Who Inspire and Guide

A school is only as strong as its teachers. At DPS Megacity, our educators play the role of mentors and guides, not just instructors. They build relationships based on trust, patience, and encouragement. Continuous learning for teachers is equally important, and we ensure regular training so that teaching methods remain relevant and engaging.

When students feel respected and heard, learning becomes meaningful. The bond between teacher and student forms the foundation of confidence and discipline, which reflects both inside and outside the classroom.

Emotional Strength and Social Awareness

In my years of experience, I have seen that emotional intelligence often determines how well a child handles life’s challenges. At DPS Megacity, we give importance to empathy, kindness, resilience, and teamwork. Through regular interactions, value-based discussions, and counselling support, students learn to understand their emotions and respect others.

We encourage children to be socially aware and responsible. Activities that promote inclusivity, community service, and environmental awareness help students realise their role beyond the classroom walls.

Encouraging Creativity and Expression

Every child deserves the opportunity to express themselves freely. Co-curricular activities are an integral part of our school culture. Whether it is music, art, drama, debates, or creative writing, students are encouraged to explore their interests without fear of judgement.

Such activities not only develop talent but also build confidence, communication skills, and discipline. Celebrating small achievements motivates students and teaches them the value of effort over perfection.

Physical Well-being and Sportsmanship

A healthy body supports a healthy mind. DPS Megacity places strong emphasis on physical education and sports. Participation in games, yoga, and fitness activities helps children develop stamina, focus, and teamwork.

Sports teach important life lessons—accepting failure gracefully, respecting opponents, and working together towards a common goal. These experiences shape character in ways that classroom learning alone cannot.

Responsible Use of Technology

Technology has become an essential part of modern education. At DPS Megacity, we integrate digital tools to enhance learning while maintaining a balanced approach. Smart classrooms and digital resources make lessons interactive and engaging, but equal importance is given to responsible usage.

Students are guided to use technology thoughtfully, understanding both its advantages and limitations. Human interaction, critical thinking, and creativity remain at the heart of our teaching process.

Preparing Children for Life Ahead

Our responsibility as educators extends far beyond board examinations. We prepare students to face the future with confidence and clarity. Through leadership opportunities, skill development programs, and career guidance, students learn to identify their interests and abilities.

We aim to nurture learners who are adaptable, curious, and ethically grounded—qualities that will serve them throughout life, regardless of the path they choose.

Partnership with Parents

Education works best when schools and parents walk together. At DPS Megacity, we value transparent communication and meaningful collaboration with parents. Regular interactions help us understand each child better and support their growth effectively.

Parents are an integral part of this journey, and together we create an environment where children feel supported both at home and at school.

Closing Thoughts

As Principal of DPS Megacity, my vision is simple yet profound—to create an educational space where children grow with confidence, compassion, and competence. Holistic education is not a trend for us; it is a commitment we uphold every day.

We continue to strive towards shaping individuals who are not only academically capable but also emotionally strong and socially responsible. That, to me, is the true purpose of education.

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], January 19: CEPT University marked a significant academic milestone today as it held its 20th Annual Convocation, conferring degrees on 589 students across undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programmes.

A Day in the Life of a Himalayan School Student Reflects the Changing Face of Online Schooling in India

Desk News — Sat, 17 Jan 2026 16:00:36 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 17: As online schooling steadily becomes a mainstream choice for Indian families, the daily academic routine of students is undergoing a visible transformation. At The Himalayan School, a structured online K–12 institution, a typical school day offers insight into how digital education is evolving beyond basic screen-based learning into a balanced, student-centric model.

For parents exploring online schools in India or comparing various online school programs, understanding how a day unfolds for a student provides a clearer picture than curriculum descriptions alone.

Structured Mornings Without the Rush

A Himalayan School student begins the day without the familiar rush associated with traditional schooling. There are no long commutes or crowded assembly halls. Instead, students log in from home for scheduled school online classes, starting their academic day calm, attentive, and prepared.

Live sessions are teacher-led and follow a fixed timetable, offering the discipline parents expect while maintaining the flexibility that online schools are known for. Teachers address students by name, conduct attendance seamlessly, and move directly into lessons—creating a focused learning environment.

Parents who previously searched for “online schools near me” often cite this calm start as a major advantage, particularly for younger learners and students prone to anxiety.

Interactive Learning Replaces Passive Listening

Contrary to common assumptions about online schools, classroom engagement remains central at The Himalayan School. Lessons are interactive, discussion-driven, and paced carefully to ensure understanding.

During mathematics and science sessions, teachers use digital boards and visual tools to explain concepts in real time. Language classes encourage participation, reading, and spoken interaction. Students enrolled in high school online classes benefit from being able to ask questions without hesitation, while also having access to recorded sessions for later review.

This approach has proven effective for students enrolled in online high school courses, where conceptual clarity plays a crucial role in academic progression.

Balanced Screen Time and Breaks

The school day includes planned breaks between academic sessions, allowing students to step away from screens. This structured balance helps reduce screen fatigue and maintain concentration levels.

Parents considering kids home school or online homeschool options often express concern about excessive screen exposure. At The Himalayan School, screen time is purposeful and moderated, ensuring that learning remains effective without becoming overwhelming.

Students are encouraged to engage in physical activity, creative hobbies, or quiet reflection during these breaks, contributing to overall well-being.

Applied Learning Through Technology Integration

Beyond live classes, students participate in applied learning activities that reinforce academic concepts. Virtual labs, project-based assignments, and cognitive STEM tasks allow students to explore practical applications of what they study.

Science lessons include simulated experiments, while technology-focused modules introduce students to problem-solving and logical thinking. These activities support the broader objective of building skills alongside syllabus learning, aligning with national education priorities.

Families transitioning from home schooling in India CBSE models often find this applied approach more engaging than traditional textbook-driven instruction.

Consistent Teacher Support Throughout the Day

One of the distinguishing aspects of a Himalayan School student’s day is continuous teacher access. Doubts are addressed promptly, and teachers monitor progress using digital tools that provide insight into individual learning patterns.

This allows educators to identify gaps early and offer targeted guidance. For students who may feel overlooked in large offline classrooms, this level of attention makes a significant difference.

Parents comparing best online schools often highlight teacher involvement as a key factor in their decision.

Independent Learning Builds Responsibility

As scheduled classes conclude, students move into independent learning time. Assignments, revision, and project work are completed using digital resources provided through the school’s learning platform.

This phase of the day helps students develop time management and self-discipline. Over time, learners become more independent, a quality parents value when considering online schools or home schools near me alternatives.

Students gradually take ownership of their learning rather than relying solely on external supervision.

A Day That Ends Without Academic Burnout

Unlike traditional school days that often extend into late evenings through homework and tuition, the academic day at The Himalayan School ends with time still available for family interaction, hobbies, and rest.

Parents report that children are less fatigued and more willing to discuss what they learned. This balanced routine has contributed to the growing acceptance of online schooling as a sustainable long-term option rather than a temporary arrangement.

Reflecting a Broader Shift in Education

A day in the life of a Himalayan School student reflects a larger shift taking place across the education sector. Online schools in India are no longer limited to convenience-based solutions; they are emerging as structured, credible alternatives that combine academic rigour with flexibility.

The Himalayan School’s approach demonstrates how online education can offer clarity, consistency, and personalisation without compromising discipline. As more families evaluate best online schools in India, models that prioritise student well-being, engagement, and real-world readiness are gaining attention.

Looking Ahead

As education continues to evolve, the daily experiences of students will increasingly shape how schooling is defined. The Himalayan School’s online model shows that learning can be calm, interactive, and effective—without the pressures traditionally associated with academic routines.

For students, this means school days focused on understanding rather than endurance.
For parents, it offers reassurance that online schooling can deliver both structure and balance.

And for the education sector, it signals a future where quality learning is no longer bound by physical classrooms, but by thoughtful design and meaningful engagement.

Two-Time Emmy Nominated Animator Vaibhav Kumaresh Conducts Masterclass at the School of Design, Rishihood University

Desk News — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 20:30:31 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 16: The School of Design, Rishihood University, hosted an engaging and insightful Masterclass by acclaimed animation filmmaker Vaibhav Kumaresh, Founder of Vaibhav Studios, offering students a rare behind-the-scenes look into the world of stop-motion and experimental animation.

Vaibhav Kumaresh is widely regarded as one of India’s most influential animation creators, known for iconic works such as Lamput, Simpoo, the Vodafone ZooZoo ads, and memorable campaigns for Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Eveready Batteries, Clinic Plus, and several other brands that have shaped India’s contemporary visual culture.

The session was part of the ongoing lecture series organised by the School of Design, Rishihood University, for new and existing learners, including students pursuing a Minor in Design.

“Animation is not about tools or technology alone; it begins with observation, empathy, and honesty in storytelling. Most of my ideas started as rough sketches inspired by everyday life,” said Vaibhav Kumaresh, speaking to students during the masterclass.

During the session, Kumaresh introduced students to the concept of animatics and highlighted the importance of strong storyboarding in animation. He explained how stop-motion animation demands absolute consistency in scale and movement, with puppets constructed using aluminium wire to enable precise frame-by-frame motion. He elaborated on how, unlike digital animation, every element in stop motion is physically created from hand-embroidered characters to detailed props and sets requiring careful decisions on framing, lighting, camera angles, colour, and atmosphere.

“Whatever appears in the frame must exist physically. Once the set is ready, the camera becomes your storyteller, deciding what the audience should see, feel, and focus on,” Kumaresh explained.

Sharing insights from his work on celebrated campaigns, Kumaresh spoke about the making of the Vodafone ZooZoo ads. He also discussed his creative collaborations with Nickelodeon, where animation took unconventional forms using paper cut-outs, food items, ink on paper, and mixed materials to capture the channel’s youthful energy and visual identity.

He emphasised that not every animation needs a conventional story, citing examples where rhythm, emotion, and visual engagement were enough to create impact.

One of the highlights of the masterclass was the story behind Lamput, the globally popular animated series. Kumaresh revealed how the concept initially rejected was later adopted by Cartoon Network, where it evolved into a viral success due to its language-free, universally relatable format.

Alongside commercial success, Kumaresh spoke about his commitment to social-impact projects, including animations on environmental conservation and mental health awareness, underscoring the role of animation as a powerful medium for social change.

The session concluded with Kumaresh sharing insights into his upcoming animated feature film ‘Return of the Jungle’, slated for Summer 2026, a project that took nearly 18 years to develop.

Reflecting on the session, Pritam Lenka, Program Director, School of Design, Rishihood University, said:

“Masterclasses like these bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world practice. Vaibhav Kumaresh’s journey and approach to animation offered our students invaluable insights into craft, perseverance, and creative integrity.”

The masterclass reinforced Rishihood University’s commitment to industry-integrated, experiential learning, inspiring students to view animation as a medium with the potential to create meaningful global impact.

College for Creative Studies, Detroit, Explores India for Global Design Talent in Landmark Leadership Visit

Desk News — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 20:30:12 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 16: In a significant milestone for India’s rapidly evolving creative education landscape, the College for Creative Studies (CCS), Detroit, one of the world’s leading institutions for art and design education, completed its first-ever leadership visit to India. The delegation was led by Don L. Tuski, President of the College for Creative Studies, along with Ray Pedor, Senior Faculty Member, Fashion Department.

Founded over 120 years ago in Detroit, Michigan, CCS is globally recognised for producing industry-ready creative leaders across disciplines such as Transportation Design, Fashion Design, Communication Design, Strategic Design, and emerging digital and interdisciplinary design fields. This inaugural visit by the President of CCS underscores the institution’s growing commitment to engaging with India’s next generation of global creative talent.

During the visit, the CCS leadership engaged extensively with school leadership teams, senior educators, high school students, parents, and counselors across multiple forums in New Delhi and Gurugram. These interactions focused on expanding awareness of future-focused art and design careers, global industry expectations, and the increasing demand for interdisciplinary, innovation-driven designers worldwide.

Speaking during the visit, Don L. Tuski highlighted the evolving role of design in the global economy:

“Today, art and design are central to innovation across mobility, sustainability, technology, fashion business, and human-centred experiences. India has immense creative potential, and our objective is to build clear, credible pathways for Indian students to access world-class design education and global careers.”

In the Indian context, art and design education has traditionally been perceived through a narrow lens, often limited to fashion or interior design. CCS aims to broaden this narrative by showcasing future-forward disciplines such as Transportation Design, Concept Design, UI/UX Design, Strategic Design, Fashion Business Management, and Communication Design—fields that operate at the intersection of creativity, technology, and industry impact.

CCS is particularly renowned for its Transportation Design program, widely regarded as one of the best in the world. Students regularly collaborate with leading global automotive and mobility companies through sponsored studio projects, designing vehicles, products, and mobility systems envisioned for the year 2050 and beyond. Graduates from CCS are actively recruited by major global automotive and design-led organisations, positioning the institution as a premier launchpad for future mobility and industrial design careers.

The India visit was undertaken in collaboration with High School Moms (HSM)—one of the world’s largest parent-student communities—and GIDE AI, a Forbes India and D Globalist Select 200 company specialising in college and career advisory. Together, the partnership aims to build structured awareness, guidance frameworks, and access pathways for high-potential Indian students aspiring to global careers in art and design.

Through this collaboration, CCS seeks to make its programs more accessible to Indian students—not only by increasing awareness and counselling support, but also by reinforcing its commitment to high-quality global education at a relatively affordable cost compared to traditional art and design study destinations.

The visit reflects a broader shift in how leading global institutions are engaging with India—not merely as a recruitment market, but as a strategic contributor to the future of global design, innovation, and creative leadership.

As India’s creative economy continues to expand across sectors, including mobility, digital experiences, fashion technology, product innovation, and human-centred design, the College for Creative Studies’ India engagement represents a pivotal step toward building long-term academic, industry, and talent bridges between India and the global design ecosystem.

Reimagining Indian Knowledge Systems in the Modern Curriculum

Desk News — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 14:00:27 +0530

Somaiya Vidyavihar University is reimagining indian knowledge systems for the modern curriculum

New Delhi [India], January 13: Indian knowledge systems are increasingly being recognised as essential to building a holistic, research-driven, and culturally rooted education framework. Somaiya Vidyavihar University (SVU) has taken a structured, institution-led approach to this integration by embedding India’s philosophical, linguistic, historical, and spiritual traditions into formal academic curricula at undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma, certificate, and doctoral levels.

At the centre of this effort is the K J Somaiya Institute of Dharma Studies, supported by Bharatiya Sanskriti Peetham, the Centre for Buddhist Studies, the Centre for Studies in Jainism, Department of (Ancient History, Culture & Archaeology) and the Centre for Indian Knowledge Systems Research. Together, these institutions offer over 40+ academic programmes, including honours options, in disciplines such as Yogashastra, Buddhist Studies, Hindu Studies, Jain Studies, Ancient Indian History, Culture and Archaeology, and Ancient Languages and Literature. Classical languages, including Sanskrit, Pali, Prakrit, and Tibetan, are taught as living scholarly tools, enabling direct engagement with original texts and traditions.

Somaiya Vidyavihar University’s academic model emphasises both depth and application. Programmes integrate the study of classical scriptures, philosophy, archaeology, aesthetics, and ethics with research methodology, fieldwork, internships, and experiential learning. Students participate in heritage tours, archaeological site visits, museum studies, archival training, outreach projects, and yoga-based wellness practices, ensuring that theoretical learning is reinforced through practice. Disciplines such as Yogashastra combine philosophical foundations with anatomy, psychology, therapy, nutrition, and applied yoga sciences.

The university’s commitment to Indian Knowledge Systems is reinforced through formal recognition and academic infrastructure. Somaiya Vidyavihar University is UGC-approved and NAAC ‘A’ accredited (2025). The K J Somaiya Institute of Dharma Studies receives an AICTE Grant, recognised by the Ministry of Education, for research and teacher training in Indian Knowledge Systems. The institution also houses the Dalai Lama Chair of Nalanda Studies, supporting advanced research in Buddhist philosophy, ethics, and interfaith dialogue. Active collaborations with organisations such as Godrej Archives, CSMV, Directorate of Archaeology and Museums, Government of Maharashtra, heritage departments, and international universities further strengthen academic exposure and professional readiness.

Interdisciplinarity remains a defining feature of the SVU experience. Students pursuing Indian knowledge disciplines have access to 20+ multidisciplinary minors across design, management, music, psychology, life sciences, literature, sports, and cultural studies. Strong research output, international student participation, and a scholarship corpus of ₹25 crore ensure both academic excellence and accessibility.

By formally embedding Indian Knowledge Systems within a modern university structure, Somaiya Vidyavihar University is demonstrating how tradition, when taught with rigor and relevance, can shape contemporary scholarship, professional pathways, and responsible leadership.

Leadership in Education: Dr. Rajkumar Rana’s Role in Expanding Higher Education in Tribal Rajasthan

Desk News — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 14:00:15 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 16: The conversation around higher education in India often focuses on big cities and well-known institutions. Yet, some of the most meaningful educational change is driven by individuals with vision and commitment. In Abu Road, in the Sirohi district of Rajasthan, Dr. Rajkumar Rana, Chairman of Madhav University, stands out as one such leader, quietly shaping access to higher education in a predominantly tribal region.

When Dr. Rajkumar Rana founded Madhav University in 2013, Sirohi did not have a university of its own. Students from tribal families faced limited options. Many had to travel long distances, while others were forced to discontinue their education altogether. Recognising this gap, Dr. Rajkumar Rana took a decisive step. For him, setting up a university in Abu Road was not about creating an institution alone; it was about creating opportunity where none existed. His belief remains simple and powerful: education must reach those who need it the most.

Under the leadership of Dr. Rajkumar Rana, Madhav University has grown with a clear focus on inclusion, relevance, and quality. The university today offers diploma, undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral, professional, and medical programmes across 11 faculties, including Homoeopathy, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Allied Health Sciences, Engineering and Technology, Commerce and Management, Law, Education, Agriculture, Arts and Science, and Yoga and Naturopathy.

Dr. Rajkumar Rana has ensured that students studying in a tribal region receive learning facilities comparable to those in leading institutions across the country. Modern laboratories, digital libraries, research and incubation centres, media lab, and innovation facilities reflect his belief that location should never limit quality. Spread across a 100-acre green campus, the university offers a disciplined and supportive environment that encourages both academic excellence and personal growth.

A unique feature of Madhav University under Dr. Rajkumar Rana’s leadership is its experiential learning initiatives. Medical and allied health students gain practical knowledge through free health camps conducted in adopted villages like Wada, Bharja, Bhujela, Kasindra, Achpura, and Amthala, as well as in nearby villages such as Jodphali, Kivarli, Dhanari, and several others. These camps allow students to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world settings while serving tribal communities, a direct reflection of Dr. Rajkumar Rana’s commitment to blending education with social impact.

In addition, Dr. Rajkumar Rana established India’s only on-campus school for special-abled tribal children, providing education to around 100 children. These students receive free education, daily transport from remote villages, speech therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, behavioural and developmental support, psychological and IQ assessments, regular medical care, and a safe, structured, and emotionally supportive environment. For B.Ed. Special Education and allied health science students, this school offers hands-on, practical experience in inclusive teaching and child development, ensuring their learning is both experiential and socially meaningful, another example of Dr. Rajkumar Rana’s visionary approach to education.

What clearly defines Dr. Rajkumar Rana’s leadership is his focus on value-based education. Many students are first-generation learners, and under his guidance, they are encouraged to see education not only as a path to employment but as a way to build character, confidence, and social responsibility. Discipline, honesty, respect, and humility are not taught as concepts alone; they are lived daily on campus.

The results of Dr. Rajkumar Rana’s vision speak for themselves. More than 500 students have secured government jobs, a significant achievement for a tribal region. Thousands of others have progressed to higher studies and professional careers. Today, families that once hesitated to send their children for higher education now actively seek admission at Madhav University, reflecting the trust built under Dr. Rajkumar Rana’s leadership.

The university’s academic credibility has strengthened steadily under Dr. Rajkumar Rana’s guidance. Madhav University is accredited by the UGC and approved by statutory bodies such as NCTE, NCH, RNC, INC, PCI, BCI, CCH, and RCI. A defining milestone in Dr. Rajkumar Rana’s leadership journey was the achievement of the NAAC ‘A’ Grade in the very first accreditation cycle, highlighting strong governance, academic planning, and student-focused systems.

Beyond academics, Dr. Rajkumar Rana has positioned Madhav University as a socially responsible institution. Through initiatives in health awareness, women empowerment, sustainability, skill development, and community outreach, the university actively contributes to regional development, further strengthening his identity as an education leader rooted in service.

Madhav University’s journey reflects Dr. Rajkumar Rana’s long-term thinking. Instead of rapid expansion, his focus has remained on building quality, trust, and meaningful outcomes. Under his leadership, education has become a bridge, connecting aspiration with opportunity and effort with achievement.

Looking ahead, Dr. Rajkumar Rana is positioning Madhav University for national and global recognition. The university is preparing for participation in NIRF and Times Higher Education (THE) rankings, alongside efforts to achieve a higher NAAC grade. Under his leadership, Madhav University is expanding research and innovation initiatives, building international collaborations, and introducing skill-based, industry-aligned programs to enhance student employability. Technology-driven learning platforms, digital libraries, and experiential community programs are being strengthened to provide students with holistic, practical, and socially impactful education.

A key priority for Dr. Rajkumar Rana remains increasing the number of students securing government and public-sector jobs through focused academic support, career guidance, and skill development. Through his vision, consistency, and people-first approach, Dr. Rajkumar Rana continues to emerge as a distinctive voice in Indian higher education, demonstrating how purpose-driven leadership can build institutions, transform regions, and create lasting impact.

Go Dharmic Featured in UK Classrooms as Part of National Curriculum on Values-Based Learning

Desk News — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 18:30:22 +0530

Hanuman Dass, founder of Go Dharmic

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 15: Go Dharmic is proud to announce that its work has been included as a case study in a national Oak National Academy curriculum for Year 4 pupils across the United Kingdom. This marks a major milestone in the promotion of values-based education and the introduction of Dharma as a practical, living principle in contemporary society.

The inclusion is part of the Oak National Academy course Dharma as Love for All Beings, which presents Dharma not solely as a religious concept, but as a guiding framework for compassion, responsibility, and service. Go Dharmic is highlighted as a real-world example of how these values are actively demonstrated in everyday life.

Founded on the principle that Dharma must be lived, not merely discussed, Go Dharmic is a global humanitarian organisation guided by a simple and inclusive philosophy: Love All. Feed All. Serve All. From providing nutritious meals to those in need and supporting environmental initiatives, to delivering humanitarian aid in times of crisis, the organisation exemplifies how compassion can be translated into meaningful action.

Hanuman Dass, founder of Go Dharmic and a featured voice within the course, commented: “This is a significant moment for integrating Dharma into society. We need values-based guidance to inspire meaningful action, and dharmic approaches to social service offer a powerful framework for creating a more compassionate world.”

On his personal understanding of Dharma, he added: “Dharma for me is acting with love and compassion toward all. Just as Yudhishthira did not abandon his dog, we should all act with kindness and spread love throughout the world.”

The curriculum draws on both ancient wisdom and contemporary practice, referencing teachings from the Mahabharata one of humanity’s oldest texts exploring Dharma as universal compassion, moral responsibility, and righteous action alongside modern examples of service in the community.

Adam Robertson, Subject Leader for Religious Education at Oak National Academy, highlighted the importance of connecting learning to real-world examples: “Using Go Dharmic as a case study helps pupils see that religious ideas are not just beliefs, but ways of living. Through Oak National Academy lessons, it shows children that compassion, responsibility, and care for all beings can be actively demonstrated in today’s world.”

This inclusion represents a significant shift in how Dharma is approached in education, positioning it as a shared human value relevant to children of all backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs.

Go Dharmic dedicates this recognition to its global community of volunteers, donors, and supporters who transform compassion into action. It also invites the next generation to embrace Dharma not just as a concept to study, but as a principle to live by through kindness to others, care for the environment, and service to the world.

Anant National University Students Earn IPR for Project Developed in Foundation Year

Newsvoir Press Release — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 23:30:15 +0530

Foundation Year students of Anant National University’s Class of 2028 have achieved an early academic milestone by securing design registration (Intellectual Property Rights) for their project Woodwork Zoo. The project emerged from a classroom module and reflects Anant’s emphasis on hands-on, inquiry-led design education from the very first year.

Anant National University Students Earn IPR for Project Developed in Foundation Year

Developed under the mentorship of adjunct faculty Prof Krishna Mashruwala and visiting faculty Prof Apurva Pandey, Woodwork Zoo encouraged students to explore traditional wooden joinery techniques while translating natural forms into functional design outcomes. Each artefact was crafted without the use of nails or screws, relying solely on precision joinery and an in-depth understanding of material behaviour.

Aarambh Incubation Centre supported the project outcomes by funding the IPR registration for sixteen selected student projects and facilitating the complete filing process. This ensured that each idea was formally protected and professionally recognised.

Dr Sanjeev Vidyarthi, Provost, Anant National University , said, “At Anant, we believe that innovation should begin from the very first year of a student’s academic journey. We actively encourage students to conceive, develop and own their ideas, and we support them through every stage, from making and prototyping to intellectual property registration. By introducing IPR awareness and formal protection early on, we empower students to view their projects not just as academic exercises, but as valuable, real-world innovations with the potential to create impact.”

Aarambh Incubation Centre plays a key role in fostering entrepreneurship and innovation at Anant by supporting young innovators through mentorship, prototyping assistance and access to government and non-government agencies.

This initiative exemplifies Anant’s commitment to experiential learning, innovation and early professional exposure. By integrating strong foundation pedagogy with incubation and IPR support, Anant enables students to translate classroom learning into meaningful, design-led innovations, laying the groundwork for a future-ready, industry-aware design education.

Vidyasvam Announces New Online Samskṛta Workshop Based on the Pāṇinian Method

The program begins on January 18, 2026, and will be conducted every Sunday from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM IST, enabling participants from across the world to join.

Rooted in the classical framework of Pāṇini’s Aṣṭādhyāyī, the workshop offers an immersive learning experience that blends traditional grammar with contemporary pedagogy. Unlike conventional memorization-heavy approaches, Vidyasvam’s methodology emphasizes conceptual clarity, analytical thinking, and gradual progression from fundamentals to text interpretation.

The workshop is built around a highly interactive online format that includes guided instruction, regular practice sessions, peer discussions, and mentoring support. Participants learn foundational grammar concepts such as varṇa, prakṛti, pratyaya, sandhi, and kāraka theory, building the skills necessary to analyze and interpret Samskṛta independently.

The workshop is about a year long, spanning 100+ hours of lectures – about 60+ hours are for learning the grammar and the language, and the remaining hours are for practical application of the learning to understanding classical texts.

Application is a core element of the program. Learners engage with classical material, particularly from texts like Vālmīki’s Rāmāyaṇa, enabling them to apply grammatical concepts in real contexts and gain confidence in reading traditional literature.

Course Outcomes

Participants completing the workshop can expect to:

Build a strong foundation in Samskṛta grammar
Understand and work with key Pāṇinian sūtras
Apply concepts through authentic textual material
Read and interpret Samskṛta texts with greater independence
Progress confidently toward advanced Samskṛta studies

Who Can Join

The workshop is open to all motivated learners. No prior knowledge of Samskṛta is required.
Participants should be able to read Devanagari script, possess basic English proficiency, and have an analytical mindset. Full attendance and consistent practice are essential for gaining the most from the program.

The workshop is led by Dr. Sridhar Subbanna, a scholar whose work bridges engineering, computational sciences, and Samskṛta. His doctoral research examines parallels between Pāṇini’s Aṣṭādhyāyī and modern concepts in AI, offering learners unique insights into the scientific sophistication of the language. Trained under renowned traditional scholars, Dr. Sridhar brings a rare combination of traditional depth and modern clarity to his teaching.

He has taught Samskṛta using the Pāṇinian method to hundreds of students, including professionals and researchers from diverse backgrounds. His structured, logic-based teaching style has been widely appreciated by learners who seek both precision and accessibility.

Vidyasvam’s Samskṛta program has received exceptional feedback from participants who highlight the clarity of instruction, the systematic approach, and the ability to engage with classical texts meaningfully. Many learners describe the workshop as a turning point in their ability to pursue Samskṛta studies with confidence.

The upcoming online batch aims to provide the same rigorous yet supportive environment, making foundational Samskṛta learning accessible to anyone willing to commit time and effort.

PM-YUVA 3.0 Authors Get Powerful Push at Book Fair 2026

Desk News — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 12:30:38 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 12: Union Minister of Education Shri Dharmendra Pradhan met 43 authors identified as part of PM-YUVA 3.0 at the New Delhi World Book Fair 2026 and turned what could have been a perfunctory appearance into a wake-up call on where India is heading in its knowledge economy.

Not a Ceremony, but a Conversation

This was not a one-way speech. It was a conversation.

The selected PM-YUVA 3.0 authors presented brief overviews of their manuscripts at Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya in New Delhi. These manuscripts are being developed under a six-month mentorship programme. The range of subjects stood out immediately, covering the Indian Knowledge System, Makers of Modern India, and the contribution of the Indian diaspora to nation-building.

Shri Pradhan congratulated the authors and encouraged them to make full use of the mentorship period. The message was simple and sharp: good books endure, fleeting attention does not. India needs work that inspires young readers to think, question, and write back.

This was not about applause. It was about output.

PM-YUVA 3.0: Not Books, but Builders

The Prime Minister’s Young Authors Mentorship Scheme (PM-YUVA 3.0) is designed with a long-term vision. It is not merely a publishing exercise. It is intellectual capacity-building.

Under the scheme, selected authors receive structured mentorship to refine research skills, strengthen writing discipline, and improve narrative clarity. During the interaction, authors also shared how their manuscripts are evolving within this framework.

Shri Pradhan stressed that serious writing depends on access to quality research material. He directed that both physical and digital resources be facilitated through the National Book Trust (NBT). The instruction was clear: writers should not be constrained by lack of access.

One Nation, One Subscription: Roadblock-Free Research

One of the key highlights of the interaction was the reference to the One Nation, One Subscription (ONOS) initiative. Shri Pradhan stated that PM-YUVA authors should be provided access to academic and research resources available under ONOS.

This matters.

For young writers, especially those working on history, culture, technology, or public knowledge, access to credible research is often the biggest bottleneck. ONOS aims to level the field, ensuring that high-quality journals and academic material are not limited to a few elite institutions.

To further strengthen academic grounding, the Minister proposed affiliating selected authors with central universities in their respective regions. The idea is straightforward and effective: anchor creativity in credible scholarship.

Diversity Is Not a Buzzword, It Is Strength

Shri Dharmendra Pradhan described the interaction as personally energising. He observed that the diversity among the selected authors reflected the diversity of India itself. Different regions, languages, academic backgrounds, and life experiences were represented in the same room.

The discussions went beyond manuscripts. Conversations touched upon culture, technology, the pursuit of knowledge, and India’s national vision. According to the Minister, the confidence and aspirations of these young writers strengthened his belief in the idea of a Viksit Bharat.

This was not symbolic diversity. It was working diversity.

World Book Fair 2026: Strategy, Not Coincidence

The timing and venue were deliberate.

The 43 PM-YUVA 3.0 authors are participating in a national camp organised alongside the New Delhi World Book Fair 2026, being held from 10 to 18 January at Bharat Mandapam. The fair is organised by the Ministry of Education through the National Book Trust.

The World Book Fair has evolved beyond a marketplace for books. It has become a point where policy, publishing, and public engagement intersect. By placing young authors in this environment, the programme exposes them simultaneously to publishers, readers, institutions, and ideas.

Shri Dharmendra Pradhan inaugurated the fair on 10 January 2026, reinforcing the government’s focus on reading, writing, and knowledge creation.

Institutions That Make It Happen

Senior officials and institutional leaders attended the event, playing a crucial role in sustaining the ecosystem for young writers. These included Shri Vineet Joshi, Secretary, Higher Education; Shri Yuvraj Malik, Director, NBT-India; Dr Priyanka Mishra, CEO, Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya; Shri Kumar Vikram, Chief Editor and Joint Director, NBT-India; and Shri Ravi K. Mishra, Joint Director, Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya.

Their presence underscored an important point: PM-YUVA 3.0 is not operating in isolation. It is supported by a network of educational, cultural, and publishing institutions.

Why This Matters Beyond One Event

PM-YUVA 3.0 is quietly addressing a long-standing gap in India’s education and cultural ecosystem. While the country produces millions of graduates, structured support for young non-fiction writers has remained limited.

This initiative changes that equation. It treats writing as a serious intellectual pursuit, not a hobby. By linking young writers with mentorship, research access, institutional backing, and national platforms, it creates a rare and effective combination.

And combinations like this are how lasting knowledge systems are built.

Abhigyan Academy: From Assam to the Olive Greens – Shaping India’s Future Defence Leaders

Desk News — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 12:30:38 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 12: In an era where corporate careers, startups, and global opportunities dominate career conversations, one profession continues to command unmatched respect and purpose a career in the Indian Armed Forces. Beyond job security or status, the uniform represents discipline, sacrifice, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to the nation. For thousands of young Indians, especially from Assam and the North-East, this calling is growing stronger than ever.

At the heart of this movement stands Abhigyan Academy, a defence coaching institute in Guwahati that has steadily emerged as a trusted ecosystem for aspirants preparing for NDA, CDS, CAPF (AC), and AFCAT.

Director’s Vision: Defence Preparation as Character Building

From the Director’s Desk, Mr. Aryaman Panghal, the philosophy of Abhigyan Academy is clear defence preparation is not merely about clearing a written exam. It is about shaping disciplined, confident, and value-driven individuals ready to serve the nation with honour.

Competitive defence exams demand much more than academic knowledge. They require mental toughness, conceptual clarity, consistency, and the right mentorship at every stage. Abhigyan Academy was founded on one core principle: quality education with accountability. In a highly competitive environment where lakhs of aspirants appear each year, casual preparation is not an option.

The academy focuses on structured, result-oriented preparation where no student is left underprepared due to lack of guidance, resources, or mentorship.

Why India’s Youth Are Choosing Defence Careers

Unlike conventional 9-to-5 jobs that often offer routine and predictability, defence careers offer purpose. While corporate and private-sector jobs face uncertainty due to layoffs and market volatility, the Armed Forces provide stability, growth, respect, and lifelong dignity.

For many aspirants, the motivation goes deeper than benefits. Wearing the uniform means serving the nation directly. It means standing guard at borders, participating in humanitarian missions, and leading under pressure. Defence careers shape leaders – not just professionals.

The increasing participation of women officers has further transformed the landscape. From fighter pilots to frontline commanders, women are redefining the olive greens as an equal-opportunity calling, inspiring young women across Assam and the North-East.

The North-East & Its Timeless Bond with the Armed Forces

Assam and the North-East have always contributed bravehearts to the nation. From gallantry award winners to senior commanders, the region’s cultural emphasis on resilience, physical endurance, and community values aligns naturally with military life.

Stories of heroes such as Captain Jintu Gogoi, Rifleman Jaswant Singh Rawat, and Major Bob Khathing continue to inspire young aspirants. Their lives remind students that ordinary individuals can create extraordinary legacies through courage and discipline.

In recent years, there has been a noticeable rise in NDA, CDS, and AFCAT aspirants from Assam, Manipur, Nagaland, and Arunachal Pradesh. However, many talented students face challenges such as limited exposure, lack of structured preparation, and insufficient mentorship.

Where Guidance Makes the Difference

This is where institutions like Abhigyan Academy quietly play a transformative role. More than a coaching centre, the academy functions as a community where aspirants receive academic clarity, discipline, motivation, and emotional support.

One inspiring example is the journey of Arjun, an NDA aspirant from a small town in Assam. With limited resources but immense determination, his preparation gained direction after joining Abhigyan Academy. Daily live classes, recorded lectures, NCERT-based structured material, and regular mock tests replaced confusion with confidence. His eventual success in the NDA written examination stands as proof that the right ecosystem can change destinies.

What Makes Abhigyan Academy Stand Out

– Comprehensive Defence Exam Preparation

Structured coaching for NDA, CDS, CAPF (AC), and AFCAT, covering Mathematics, General Science, English, Polity, History, Geography, Economics, and Current Affairs – from NCERT basics to advanced exam level.

– Experienced & Dedicated Faculty

A strong academic team focused on conceptual clarity and exam relevance:

Swapnaneel Sharma Mazumder – Economics & Physics
Neelav Sir – Geography & History
Pallavi Ma’am – Chemistry
Niky Ma’am – Biology
Kaustav Sir – Polity
Bedanta Sir & Satarupa Ma’am – Mathematics

– Specialised SSB Interview Guidance

Lt. Col. Akshay Rajput – Officer Like Qualities, GTO tasks & interviews
Akansha Baruah – Psychological development & mental conditioning
Tinat Masood – Personality development & communication skills

– Live Classes + Recorded Lectures

Daily live classes ensure discipline, while recorded lectures support revision and self-paced learning.

– Online & Printed Study Material

Concise, exam-focused material designed in-house and regularly updated to match the latest patterns.

– Mock Tests & Performance Analysis

Sectional tests and full-length mock exams simulate real exam pressure, with detailed feedback to improve speed, accuracy, and temperament.

Beyond Coaching: Shaping Leaders of Tomorrow

Abhigyan Academy treats students not as roll numbers but as future officers of the Indian Armed Forces. The responsibility does not end with syllabus completion; it extends to mentoring, motivating, and guiding aspirants throughout their journey.

For India, especially the North-East, encouraging more youth to choose defence careers is not just about employment it is about national strength, integration, and leadership. The olive greens represent a life of honour, responsibility, and purpose.

Will Tuitions Be Replaced in 2026? EDZA AI Launches JEE/NEET Tutors

Desk News — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 12:30:27 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 12: By 2026, India’s tutoring debate has changed. It’s no longer about how big an edtech studio is or how many videos it has for a mass livestream class. It’s about one-to-one personal attention, who actually gets taught, and who gets lost.

Today’s exam-prep edtech livestreams often teach tens of thousands of students at once. That scale comes with a clear cost: most students are never spoken to, never individually tracked, and never corrected in a way that fits how they think. Chats and polls keep viewers busy but not personal. Online personal tutoring services do offer that attention, but they’re expensive. Online one-to-one tuition can cost up to ₹3,000 an hour, with limited availability, putting consistent help out of reach for many families.

So the real question isn’t whether AI will replace teachers. It’s whether it can spot repeated mistakes, implement fixing methods, and guiding practice by offering personal attention at scale. Generic AI searchbots are good at broad info lookup or content dumping.What they struggle to do is being highly exam-specific, outcome-focused and improve scores one student at a time. And that gap between mass livestream and expensive personal attention is where a new kind of tutoring is starting to emerge.

A case study: Edza AI’s new JEE/NEET tutors

One such product is Edza AI (edza.ai), a product of Maharashtra-based Hacktivspace Private Limited, which has positioned itself as a kind of “personal tutor cloned into AI,” an AI tuition teacher for Indian exams across Classes 7–12, now extended to JEE and NEET. Edza AI announced the JEE/NEET expansion a few days ago, saying it now supports JEE/NEET learners using the same approach. Edza AI already serves 30,000+ learners majorly across Classes 9–12, spanning multiple Indian boards.

The company’s language is careful: it does not position itself as a replacement for school, but as a response to the personal attention deficit that makes expensive one-to-one tuition a necessity for many families.

More details about the launch came from Rishabh, from the machine learning team at Edza AI, who completed his master’s studies at the University of Milan, Italy. He described the adaptive tutoring workflow system of Edza AI, built around a persistent learning context loop, tracking where a student is within a chapter, what they have already attempted, what they repeatedly misunderstand, and how their performance shifts over time, so that each session resumes with memory rather than starting from scratch.

What “AI tuition” looks like in practice

The practical bet behind Edza AI, and a few other global products in this emerging category, is that tuition is not a single activity, it is a bundle.

1) Remembering mistakes and weak areas: Instead of treating each doubt as isolated, the Edza AI tutor retains a record of recurring errors and revisits them through targeted practice, to turn revision into a loop that tightens around weak spots.

2) Continuous adaptive assessment loops: Hacktivspace Pvt. Ltd. describes an adaptive assessment flow: students test, the tutor detects the pattern of mistakes, then adjusts the next set based on performance signals instead of a fixed blueprint.

3) Answer-sheet and marking-scheme-aligned feedback: A key claim is alignment with board-style evaluation: students can upload answer sheets, receive step-level commentary, and see analysis mapped to marking logic to improve method marks.

4) “AI Shorts”: text-to-animation inside the study flow Edza AI also markets short visual explanations, quick animations for concepts and solutions. In its JEE/NEET launch, the company explicitly listed “AI Shorts” alongside adaptive tests and voice-call tutoring.

5) Voice-call tutoring with co-solving on whiteboard: Perhaps the most tuition-like mechanic is synchronous help: voice-based sessions where a student can show notes or an answer sheet and the tutor co-solves using figures, diagrams, and flowcharts on a collaborative whiteboard

Across these features, the throughline is outcome-focus: the product is built around exam qualification and score improvement via personal attention at scale.

So, will tuition be replaced in 2026?

Not in the sweeping way the phrase is sometimes used. Human tuition does more than academics: it motivates, disciplines, and provides emotional scaffolding, especially when a student is anxious or burnt out. Even proponents of AI tutoring acknowledge that mentorship remains heavily human.

But something meaningful can change in 2026: Routine, repeatable tuition tasks, drilling weak areas, generating targeted practice, checking method steps, converting doubts into short visual explanations, are exactly the kind of work software can scale.

Mass livestreams may stay for schedule and coverage, but their weakness, individual attention, creates room for a second layer of learning that behaves like a personal tutor. Price pressure is real. When households are already paying high monthly tuition fees or online personal tutor’s ₹2,500/hour rates in some cities, a cheaper “always-available” personal tutor will not need to be perfect to be adopted, it only needs to be consistently helpful.

In that sense, the more accurate forecast for 2026 is not “tuition ends.” It is: tuition gets unbundled. Some share of what families currently buy from tutors, diagnosis, repetition, checking, targeted practice, may shift to AI systems that can offer attention on demand, while human tutors increasingly concentrate on higher-touch mentorship and strategy.

Edza AI is not the entire story. But its JEE/NEET launch offers a clear example of what the next phase of India’s edtech competition may revolve around: not bigger classes, but manufactured one-to-one attention delivered cheaply enough that the students who were never heard in a livestream can finally be responded to.

PARAM SHAKTI Supercomputer Boosts India’s Research Power by 3.1 Quadrillion Calculations Per Second”

Desk News — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 21:30:28 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 10: When S Krishnan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), recently inaugurated PARAM SHAKTI at IIT Madras, it was not the customary ribbon-cutting ceremony but a bold statement of India becoming more technologically empowered. PARAM SHAKTI is not just another supercomputer. It is built on homegrown hardware, based on C-DAC RUDRA servers, and operates on an indigenous software stack using the open-source AlmaLinux. It can perform 3.1 quadrillion calculations per second—yes, quadrillion, with a capital Q.

It is not a flashy technological flaunt. It is an Indian science turbocharger. Researchers in aerospace, materials science, climate modeling, drug discovery, and advanced manufacturing now have a device that compresses decades of experiments into months, sometimes even weeks. Slow science? That’s officially a thing of the past. PARAM SHAKTI has put Indian research on the fast track, and the finish line is nowhere in sight.

At Work: Building a National Supercomputing Mission

PARAM SHAKTI is part of the flagship National Supercomputing Mission (NSM), led by MeitY and the Department of Science and Technology. The mission has already deployed 37 supercomputers across major Indian research institutions, with more under construction—including a massive facility planned in Bengaluru. India is not playing small; it is building a network of computational power capable of competing on a global scale.

Krishnan highlighted the mission’s philosophy: differentiated, scale-oriented, and sovereign technology. It is not just about speed—it’s about independence. India is reducing dependency on single GPU vendors and foreign hardware or software stacks. The vision is clear: a robust AI and computational ecosystem capable of supporting India’s ambitious scientific and industrial plans.

IIT Madras: Where Machines Meet Magic

For IIT Madras, PARAM SHAKTI is more than a showcase. Operational since May 2025 and running at over 80% utilization, it supports research ranging from sub-atomic electronics to large-scale structural and climate simulations. With a power usage effectiveness (PUE) between 1.2 and 1.4, the supercomputer is energy-efficient while delivering high performance. Even supercomputers cannot ignore the electricity bill.

Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director of IIT Madras, urged students and researchers to create energy-efficient, shareable, and robust programs, building on a legacy that started with the National Knowledge Network. E. Magesh of C-DAC also praised the rigorous engineering of the RUDRA servers, India’s homegrown answer to global HPC technology, proving that world-class performance does not require foreign reliance.

Powering AI, Innovation, and India

PARAM SHAKTI is not just a number-crunching powerhouse—it is India’s future-proofing strategy for research and innovation. Through the IndiaAI Mission, the supercomputer allows researchers to experiment freely, innovate boldly, and avoid tech monocultures. No foreign restrictions, no dependency graphs—raw computational power is fully in the hands of Indian scientists.

The potential is enormous. Expect breakthroughs in drug design, climate prediction, aerospace innovation, and advanced manufacturing. This machine is the rocket enabling Indian scientists to operate at a speed and scale comparable to the world’s top labs. The message is simple: India can compete, and today it can compute faster, smarter, and bigger than ever before.

PARAM SHAKTI is more than a supercomputer. It is an icon of India’s self-reliance, ambition, and technological boldness, placing the nation firmly on the global map for high-performance computing and next-generation scientific breakthroughs.

Boosting India’s Global Research Standing

With PARAM SHAKTI, India is no longer just a participant in the global research race—it’s becoming a leader. By providing world-class computational power domestically, the country reduces reliance on foreign supercomputing resources and strengthens its scientific sovereignty. Researchers can now tackle complex problems in AI, climate science, and advanced manufacturing at speeds that rival international labs, giving India a competitive edge in innovation and technological breakthroughs. This investment signals to the world that India is serious about being at the forefront of high-performance computing and global scientific discovery.

Sri Sri Ravishankar Vidya Mandir Reports Exceptional Progress by Implementing The Mind Sync

Desk News — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 21:30:24 +0530

Ulhasnagar (Maharashtra) [India], January 10: As the pace of life accelerates and everyone becomes absorbed in daily demands, the space to nurture our mental health grows smaller, yet the need for it grows greater. Understanding shifting emotional needs of today’s children, rooted in the belief that true education cultivates both intellect and inner strength, Sri Sri Ravishankar Vidya Mandir, Ulhasnagar, has boldly implemented India’s First Mental Health Education Curriculum as a key part of its holistic learning approach. This forward-thinking adoption places SSRVM among the initial Indian schools to integrate structured emotional education into everyday schooling. This thoughtful integration aims to support every child in developing emotional clarity, resilience, compassion, and mindful living. Developed by a Harvard-trained Psychiatrist, Dr Shivam Dubey, and made feasible for implementing in schools across India by Founder, Mr Manas Dubey, The Mind Sync Curriculum works on a triangle training philosophy catering to students, teachers and parents. Through neuroscience and psychological concepts, this curriculum integrates cognitive development, emotional intelligence, and practical life skills into a cohesive 30-week mental health education curriculum centred on the five social and emotional learning skills.

The paradigm of ‘school’ has often been described as a second home to children, with teachers as guardians and guides. Keeping this in mind, teachers at SSRVM have been officially certified as Mental Health Educators, equipping them to understand, support, and guide students with greater emotional sensitivity and psychological awareness. Teachers of SSRVM report feeling more confident in handling classroom emotions, managing their own stress, and fostering healthier student relationships, creating a more mindful and emotionally safe learning environment. The Program Manager at The Mind Sync, Ms Mayuri Godbole, strives to make this implementation process smooth and efficient for the teachers, children, and parents at SSRVM, Ulhasnagar.

A key highlight of the transition has been the successful implementation of the Self-Awareness and Self-Management skills for Grades 1-5, showing exceptional progress across all grades, where 99.33% of students have now achieved age-appropriate self-awareness. It was also seen that students, as young as 6 & 7 years old, displayed strong emerging emotional awareness. Students across all 5 grades showed maturity in recognising stressors and practising healthy study habits. Additionally, the second assessment done at the school showed that 100% of the students have learnt to manage their emotions and behaviours effectively. Even at this young age, students are learning to stay calm in everyday situations and respond in thoughtful and age-appropriate ways. With regular practice and implementation of the learnt skills, they are walking strongly on the path of emotional intelligence. These results show that SSRVM’s commitment is already translating into measurable emotional growth, improved focus, and stronger resilience among students.

Reflecting on this success, Ms Priyanka Pan, Acting Principal, SSRVM, Ulhasnagar, shared her thoughts- “It is with immense pride that I share the transformative impact of this unique implementation of Mental Health Education curriculum, a cornerstone of our commitment to holistic student development. The Mind Sync goes far beyond traditional health education. Through structured lessons and practical exercises, our students are learning to understand and name emotions, practice self-regulation and build resilience with improved concentration. We are not just educating young minds; we are nurturing whole individuals prepared to thrive both intellectually and emotionally in their future careers and communities.”

For SSRVM, adopting this curriculum is not simply introducing another program; it is a deliberate commitment to nurturing emotionally strong, self-aware, and compassionate learners.

School of Athens: Redefining What an Art Academy in Bangalore Can Be

Desk News — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 21:30:18 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], January 10: In recent years, Bangalore has evolved into far more than India’s technology capital. Alongside its fast-paced professional culture, the city is witnessing a growing appreciation for creativity, personal expression, and disciplined artistic learning. Art is no longer viewed merely as a hobby for weekends or childhood—it is increasingly embraced as a meaningful pursuit for personal growth, stress relief, and even professional development. As interest in structured art education rises among children, adults, and working professionals, one institution has begun to draw consistent attention across Bangalore’s creative circles — School Of Athens Fine Art Academy and Gallery.

Established in 2023, School of Athens is a new-age art academy in Bangalore that brings together classical art education values and contemporary learning systems. With branches located in Whitefield and Brookfield, the academy has steadily positioned itself as a space where artistic passion is shaped through structure, strong fundamentals, and professional mentorship. Despite being relatively young, it has quickly built credibility among learners seeking serious, outcome-oriented art education.

A Structured Approach to Art Education

One of the defining aspects of School Of Athens Fine Art Academy and Gallery is its carefully curated, level-based curriculum. Unlike short-term or shortcut-driven art classes, the academy focuses on building a solid foundation before moving students toward advanced artistic practice.

Courses are thoughtfully designed for different age groups, starting from children above five years and extending to adults, working professionals, serious hobby artists, and career-oriented fine art students. Each learner enters a clearly defined learning path, allowing them to progress confidently at a realistic pace. This sense of direction eliminates the confusion that often discourages beginners and ensures consistent growth for advanced students.

The academy’s structured curriculum enables even absolute beginners to move steadily toward professional-level skills within a reasonable timeframe. This clarity of progression has become one of the primary reasons why many learners are choosing School of Athens over conventional drawing classes in Bangalore that often lack long-term learning frameworks.

At the heart of this structure lies a deep respect for fundamentals. Students are trained extensively in anatomy, perspective, shading, composition, proportion, and form. The academy strongly believes that compelling artwork is built on strong fundamentals—not shortcuts. This philosophy encourages students to develop technical confidence, creative clarity, and long-lasting artistic skills.

An Atelier-Style Learning Environment

School of Athens follows a studio-based atelier format, a model historically associated with classical art education. This approach emphasizes learning through observation, practice, critique, and continuous refinement under the guidance of experienced mentors.

Batch sizes are intentionally kept small. Group sessions typically consist of five to ten students, allowing mentors to offer individual attention while still encouraging peer learning. This format enables instructors to closely monitor each student’s progress, identify strengths and gaps, and provide timely feedback—an experience often missing in large classroom-based art programs.

The academy also places strong emphasis on creating a cozy, clean, safe, and positive studio environment. The atmosphere is designed to encourage focus, patience, and creative exploration, making it particularly appealing to adults and working professionals seeking a calm space away from daily pressures. Practical considerations such as dedicated parking spaces further enhance accessibility for learners attending offline sessions.

All programs are conducted strictly offline, reflecting the academy’s belief that high-quality art education requires physical presence, direct observation, and hands-on guidance. Rather than relying on recorded videos, students learn through real-time interaction and studio practice. Missed sessions are thoughtfully compensated, ensuring continuity in learning without compromising outcomes.

Comprehensive Courses Across Mediums

As a full-fledged art academy in Bangalore, School of Athens offers an extensive range of courses that cover both classical and contemporary art practices. Students have the opportunity to explore and specialize in multiple disciplines, including:

Pencil drawing and pencil shading
Charcoal drawing and sketching
Acrylic, oil, and watercolour painting
Gouache painting and mixed media
Sculpting
Typography and lettering
Foundation-level art courses
Advanced and portfolio-focused training
Diploma in Fine Arts

This wide spectrum of offerings allows learners to experiment, refine their interests, and grow within a single institution rather than moving between different classes. Whether a student is learning art for stress relief, personal fulfillment, or professional goals, the academy provides structured pathways to support each journey.

Learning Beyond the Classroom

What further distinguishes School Of Athens Fine Art Academy and Gallery is its commitment to nurturing artists beyond regular classroom sessions. Learning at the academy extends into the real world through free exhibitions, workshops, and professionally led activities, offering students exposure to practical art experiences and creative communities.

The academy places significant importance on career guidance, especially for students considering fine arts as a long-term path. Learners receive mentoring on artistic growth, portfolio development, and professional opportunities. Students are also given opportunities to sell their artworks, helping bridge the gap between learning art and practicing it in real-world contexts.

Transparency is another key pillar of the institution. A dedicated student portal allows learners to track schedules, updates, progress, and communications, fostering trust and clarity between the academy and its students. This system strengthens accountability and helps students stay engaged with their learning journey.

With over 500 active students, School of Athens has grown into a vibrant creative community in a short span of time—reflecting the rising demand for structured, serious art education in Bangalore.

A Growing Presence in Bangalore’s Art Education Space

Located in Whitefield and Brookfield, School of Athens is well-positioned to serve learners across East Bangalore. Its focus on disciplined learning, guaranteed outcomes, and professional mentorship resonates strongly with adults seeking stress relief through art, as well as students aiming for long-term artistic development.

By blending classical teaching values with modern structure, transparency, and student-centric systems, the academy is helping reshape how people perceive drawing and painting classes in the city. Art is no longer treated as a casual activity, but as a skill that deserves depth, patience, and respect.

As Bangalore continues to embrace creativity as an essential part of balanced living, School Of Athens Fine Art Academy and Gallery continues to attract learners seeking structured art education in Bangalore, setting a new benchmark for what a contemporary art academy can offer.

“I could see the laughter in every child’s eyes and the shared pride in every parent’s smile,” one attending parent shared. “This celebration wasn’t just about welcome — it was about belonging.” Such sentiments echo the sustained efforts of Tapti Valley International School to create a learning environment where children feel supported, motivated, and genuinely excited to explore new horizons.

As the evening wound down and the lights dimmed on what was truly a memorable night, the spirit of togetherness lingered — conversations continued, photos were captured, and plans for future gatherings were already whispered among friends. The carnival closed on a high note, etching glowing memories in the hearts of all who took part.

The success of the Welcome 2026 Carnival was a collective achievement — made possible by the energetic participation of students, the enthusiastic engagement of parents, and the dedicated coordination of Tapti Valley International School’s staff. Their joint efforts reaffirmed that celebrations at TVIS are not just events, but community milestones that bring people closer and inspire a culture of shared joy and growth.

With heartfelt gratitude, the school extends its appreciation to everyone who joined this event and contributed to its success. As 2026 unfolds, the spirit of unity and positivity experienced at the carnival promises to ripple through TVIS’s classrooms and corridors — fostering an environment where learning and community go hand in hand.

Enhancing Scientific Insight: The Rise of AI-Augmented Research in India

Desk News — Fri, 09 Jan 2026 17:39:44 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 9: Large volumes of complex data in research and development labs offer vast potential for scientists in India. Yet the race to finish first by extracting insight is often slowed down by manual data analysis. Indian labs are now turning to AI-enriched solutions, which help streamline research workflows and significantly accelerate established development processes.

As investment in research and development (R&D) across many sectors grows, India has emerged as a global powerhouse. For example, according to the Indian Ministry of Science and Technology, the country has experienced a 2.5x growth in scientific publication output over 10 years, a rate that shows no signs of slowing down.

The growth in the number of publications is driven by increased research activity, which in turn is generating a significant boost in the volume and complexity of data. In addition, as global research advances, the range of data that laboratories must handle continues to expand – from structures to composition for small molecules and the newest large-molecule modalities. At the same time, open-science principles encourage researchers worldwide to share and collaborate, adding to the range and complexity of the data landscape.

Even as the flood of data continues to increase, many labs continue to rely on manual work to unite and analyze data across isolated spreadsheets, databases, and notebooks. For such teams, the insights that help to drive the “decide” step of the “design-make-test-decide” research cycle are significantly delayed as they wait for data to become available.

While manual information processes can produce rich, holistic research insights, the pace of today’s work environment means that electronic tools are essential. Over the years, R&D labs have introduced a variety of systems designed to speed up data analysis, but often these are highly specialized solutions that operate in departmental silos. In addition, a tool tailored to structured data will not work for unstructured data, limiting capacity and capability.

As a further complication, although science aims to be an objective discipline, it is natural that researchers view their work through a subjective lens. Hypothesis generation and data interpretation will always be limited by innate human biases. Researchers may subconsciously favor data that confirms their pre-existing beliefs and hypotheses, particularly if counterevidence is difficult to obtain.

Working in isolated, fragmented data silos may tend tointroduce human bias and error, as restricted access can become a self-limiting factor, as moving back and forth between databases and paperwork is a slow and labor-intensive process. In some cases, data analysis becomes the most time-consuming step in a research project, taking away from precious time that could be spent on testing and discovery.

Introducing a Comprehensive, AI-Powered R&D Solution

Signals One features include matched-molecular pair analysis, chemical clustering and multi-parameter optimization (MPO) dashboards that link compound profiles across critical attributes like potency, selectivity, solubility, permeability and clearance attributes. This integrated approach accelerates the journey from initial concept to high-confidence drug candidates.

Signals One’s cloud-native SaaS architecture supports the complete “Design-Make-Test-Decide” lifecycle while enabling seamless multidisciplinary collaboration across chemistry, biology, and modalities. By adhering to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Re-usable) data principles, the solution ensures AI-ready data maintains the highest quality standards for reliable, cross-program utility.

Boosting Mission-Critical Investment

According to the UN, India ranks 10th in the world for private investment in AI, securing US$ 1.4 billion in 2023. Realizing the potential rewards on offer from AI, the government is stepping up its interest, as the Finance Minister announced at the beginning of 2025 funding for Centers of Excellence forAI in education. Together, India’s private and public sectors can democratize access to AI-powered solutions, enabling the broader scientific community to make the most of cutting-edge analytics.

AI-enhanced analytics present an opportunity for Indian R&D labs to shoot ahead of typical modernization and digitalization initiatives. Many global competitors continue to struggle with their digital journeys, as they move from manual processes through spreadsheets and legacy software; Indian labs have the opportunity to entirely reinvent what R&D processes look like, by vaulting straight from manual processes to the new AI-driven world. With AI-supported solutions empowering more wet-lab scientists to make sense of data without relying on analysts, researchers could further streamline operations and boost collaboration.

Leveraging AI to Stay Ahead of the Competition

With investment in AI solutions on the rise, R&D labs in India can boost efficiency, enhance quality and accelerate development cycles like never before. While human expertise will always remain central to R&D, AI and LLMs can provide rapid suggestions and correlations to amplify insight. In the rapidly changing global research environment, selecting the right technology to support decision-making is crucial.

By adopting platforms such as Signals One, researchers in India can accelerate the “design-make-test-decide” cycle, leaving behind the days of copying and pasting information across data silos and spending hours looking for hidden patterns in the data. Rich, intuitively-presented datacorrelations can be at scientists’ fingertips—all while keeping IP safe within the secure Revvity Signals environment.

By integrating experimentation in the lab with AI-augmented predictive modeling, researchers can reduce repetitive lab work, quickly extract insights from vast datasets, and spend more time doing what matters most: collaborating and engaging in critical thinking to solve the world’s most pressing challenges.

The school is led by Ritesh Hada, President of Karnavati University and Unitedworld International School, who said the initiative reflects their belief that schooling should prepare children not only for examinations, but also for life beyond the classroom.

“UIS has been envisioned as a space where children grow with confidence and curiosity, while remaining rooted in Indian values and open to global perspectives,” he said.

UIS will operate from a modern campus designed to support academic learning, sports, arts and creative activities in a safe and nurturing setting. The infrastructure and learning systems have been planned to support both structured classroom teaching and collaborative, activity-based learning. Admissions for the upcoming academic year are currently open.

Headquartered in Gandhinagar, Karnavati University is a multidisciplinary institution offering programmes across design, law, management, liberal arts, media, dentistry and allied disciplines. Over the years, the university has focused on building institutions that integrate professional education with broader learning perspectives. The launch of Unitedworld International School extends this approach to the foundational years of education.

Parents Are Shocked: SVIS Students Build Robots as Part of Regular Schooling

Desk News — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 17:30:22 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 6: At a time when most schools limit technology to textbooks and screens, Swami Vivekanand International School (SVIS)—widely regarded by many parents as the Best International School in Mumbai—is redefining classroom learning through its advanced AeroBay Innovation Lab, where students regularly design, build, code, and prototype real-world technologies as part of their school curriculum.

From robotics and 3D printing to AI basics, electronics, IoT automation, and drone concepts, SVIS students are learning skills that many encounter only at the college level—leaving parents both surprised and impressed by the depth of hands-on learning.

Learning Inside the AeroBay Innovation Lab

Within the AeroBay Lab, students are introduced to 3D design and printing using platforms such as Tinkercad and basic Fusion tools, enabling them to convert ideas into tangible prototypes.

They build small robots using motors and sensors, learn coding and programming through Scratch, block coding, and Python fundamentals, and explore electronics and circuits using LEDs, resistors, and breadboards.

This innovation-led learning approach is further strengthened by the vision of SVIS Trustee Shri Ambuj Jhunjhunwala, who has introduced the 4P’s development framework—Passion, Percentage (academic performance), Proficiency (skills), and Personality—to ensure every child grows on four strong pillars essential for holistic and future-ready development.

The curriculum further extends into:

Arduino and microcontroller programming
Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as smart lighting and automation systems
AI and machine learning basics
Drone assembly concepts
Product design and prototyping

These modules are carefully structured to build innovation, problem-solving ability, teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking.

This future-ready approach is backed by SVIS’s strong academic foundation. The school has consistently maintained a 100% ICSE Board pass rate for the last 10 years, reflecting the strength of its curriculum, teaching methodology, and student support systems.

Each year, over 500 students appear for the ICSE Board Examinations, with more than 70% securing distinctions and subject exemptions, demonstrating both conceptual clarity and academic confidence.

A recent internal academic survey further revealed that a majority of SVIS students do not require external tuition or coaching, highlighting the effectiveness of classroom teaching and the school’s emphasis on deep understanding rather than rote learning. By integrating innovation labs with strong academic instruction, SVIS ensures students excel both in examinations and applied learning.

Recognition and Leadership Excellence

SVIS’s commitment to quality education has been widely recognised. The school has been:

Honoured by Times Education and EducationWorld as a Top ICSE School
Awarded the Atharva Foundation Education Award
Recognised by Education Today for excellence in ICSE education
Featured by Mid-Day among Mumbai’s Top Schools for its robust curriculum

On the leadership front, the school’s Trustees have received international recognition at a Global Education Conclave in London for Exemplary Leadership, while the Principal has been honoured with the Ideal Principal Award.

Alumni and Student Achievements

Beyond academics, SVIS takes pride in its distinguished alumni and student achievements across diverse fields. Alumni include:

Dr. Chaitanya Giri – India’s Space Strategist
Dr. Aditi Shah – MS in Cyber Security (USA)
Dr. Abhishek Shukla – Neurosurgeon
Dr. Ruchika Parekh – Researcher and Assistant Professor

These journeys reflect the school’s emphasis on academic depth, research orientation, and career readiness.

Current students continue to make their mark at state and national levels, securing first ranks in declamation competitions, winning at the National Young Authors’ Fair, and qualifying for the National Level MARRS International Spelling Bee. These achievements underline SVIS’s focus on communication skills, creativity, intellectual confidence, and holistic development.

Education That Goes Beyond Books

By seamlessly blending innovation labs, academic excellence, leadership development, and future-ready skills, Swami Vivekanand International School is preparing students not just for exams—but for the rapidly evolving world beyond the classroom.

What may shock parents at first soon becomes reassurance:
At SVIS, education is no longer limited to books—it is built, coded, tested, and brought to life.

Swami Vivekanand International School Strikes a High Note with Transformative Music Education

Desk News — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 17:30:18 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 6: SVIS Music Education isn’t just a curriculum add-on — at Swami Vivekanand International School (SVIS), it’s a cornerstone of a forward-looking learning ecosystem that shapes student potential in ways both measurable and meaningful.

In the vibrant educational landscape of Mumbai, where holistic development is increasingly prized, SVIS continues to distinguish itself as one of the top international schools in Mumbai, especially for the creative depth of its performing arts offerings. At the heart of this distinction lies a structured, inspiring approach to musical learning that goes well beyond rote practice, tapping into cognitive growth, expressive fluency, and pathways to future careers in the creative economy.

A Curriculum That Resonates

Music at SVIS isn’t an afterthought — it’s integrated seamlessly into the academic rhythm of student life, backed by purpose-built infrastructure such as a fully-equipped music studio and specialised podcast lab where learners are encouraged to experiment and produce original work. Through hands-on exposure to 20+ musical instruments, students discover not only performance skills but also deeper aspects of composition and sound production.

This emphasis aligns with SVIS’s conviction that early and meaningful support allows students to explore music as both an art and a profession. After all, today’s school halls could one day be the crucibles of tomorrow’s musical icons — echoing the journeys of greats such as A.R. Rahman and Sonu Nigam, whose work exemplifies the heights of artistic achievement.

Professional Guidance, Global Standards

Collaborative training with the Furtados School of Music — one of India’s leading music education providers — brings professional mentorship directly into SVIS classrooms. Through this partnership, students benefit from structured exposure to classical and contemporary techniques, rhythm training, performance confidence building, and disciplined creative exploration.

Furtados has carved a reputation in India for elevating music education standards, aligning with international frameworks that inspire learners to grow beyond local settings. Such expert guidance at SVIS ensures that students not only learn to play an instrument but also understand the art and craft of music with thoughtful context.

Beyond Notes: Skills for Life

Regular music practice at SVIS has ripple effects across broader student development. Structured practice cultivates patience, improves focus, and reinforces time management skills — qualities that support academic and personal life alike. Collaborative performances, group recordings, and work on digital media projects such as podcasts build communication skills and leadership, while nurturing teamwork in real-world scenarios.

This holistic focus echoes contemporary research showing the cognitive and social benefits of arts-led education. By placing students in real creative processes — not just rehearsals — SVIS prepares its learners for diverse futures in sound engineering, media production, digital content creation, and the entertainment industry at large.

Real-World Impact: Alumni Success Stories

Perhaps the strongest testament to the success of SVIS Music Education is visible in its alumni achievements. Among the school’s distinguished graduates shines classical vocalist Gandhaar Deshpande, whose accomplishments reflect the formative impact of SVIS’s creative ecosystem.

SVIS’s alumni chronicle reads like a mosaic of talent across domains — from international cricket stars and medical innovators to artists and entrepreneurs — all of whom have in common an early foundation in an environment that encouraged curiosity, excellence, and self-expression.

Bridging Tradition and Technology

The school’s modern Music Room and recording studio don’t just house instruments — they house aspirations. Here, students traverse the worlds of rhythm and digital sound editing, gaining fluency in both classic instrument techniques and tech-savvy production tools.

This blend of tradition with digital fluency mirrors broader industry trends: today’s music careers straddle performance, production, and multimedia storytelling. SVIS’s approach prepares learners for all of these realms by supporting them with infrastructure that most schools still don’t offer.

A Model for Holistic Education

The excellence of SVIS extends well beyond musical skills. As one of the ICSE-affiliated international schools in Mumbai, SVIS’s broader philosophy places equal value on academics, character development, and creative expression. Campus offerings include a variety of performing arts, innovation labs, and extracurricular clubs that together create a richly textured learning journey.

From Kandivali to Borivali, SVIS campuses serve as vibrant hubs where children are encouraged to pursue interests that resonate with their passions, whether on stage, in the studio, or beyond.

Conclusion: The Future Sounds Bright

With SVIS Music Education firmly embedded into its learning framework, Swami Vivekanand International School exemplifies how structured arts programmes can empower students well beyond the classroom. By combining expert mentorship, modern facilities, and a culture that embraces creativity as a lifelong asset, SVIS continues to cultivate confident, expressive, and future-ready individuals.

Ultimately, for students at SVIS, music isn’t a mere extracurricular — it’s a transformative journey that shapes voices, unlocks potential, and sets the tone for creative futures.

2025: A Landmark International Year for Brainobrain

Desk News — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 16:47:39 +0530

Bardoli (Gujarat) [India], January 6: Brainobrain proudly celebrates a defining global milestone this year, hosting two major international abacus competitions — the 14th International Brainobrain Abacus Competition in Switzerland and the 15th International Brainobrain Abacus Competition in Dubai. Together, they highlight Brainobrain’s global leadership in abacus education, mental arithmetic, life skills training, brain development, and holistic personality development for children.

The 14th International Competition, held on 14 September 2025 in Switzerland, was a historic achievement —the abacus competition for kids hosted in Europe. With 500+ children from various countries, the event marked a proud new chapter for the organisation.

Soon after, Brainobrain hosted the 15th International Competition in Dubai, which saw an impressive 1800+ young achievers from 16 countries, making it one of the largest international gatherings of Brainobrain students this year.

The competitions featured category-wise abacus rounds in which children solved sums using advanced abacus and mental math techniques aligned with their age and skill levels.

Results were announced the same day, followed by a heartfelt prize distribution that brought proud smiles, applause, and even a few happy tears from families.

Parents across both venues described the day as transformative. A parent from North Macedonia shared, “We joined Brainobrain for mental math, but what we saw today was confidence, clarity and emotional strength—far beyond academics.”

An 8-year-old Swiss participant said joyfully, “I felt like numbers became my superpower today!”

Reflecting on the global milestone, Mr Anand Subramaniam, Managing Director of Brainobrain International, said, “This year proves that children can rise to any stage when we nurture both skill and mindset.”

Mr Arul Subramaniam, Director – Technical & NLP Master Trainer, added, “What stood out was joy. Brainobrain children learn and perform without pressure — that is their biggest strength.”

The Switzerland and Dubai competitions created moments of pride, joy and celebration for thousands of families. They reflected the heart of Brainobrain’s philosophy — that children grow best when they are supported emotionally, challenged intellectually and encouraged to express themselves confidently. With 1000+ centres across 45 countries, Brainobrain continues to strengthen its role as a leading force in empowering children with the abilities they need to thrive in an evolving world.

Rohit Sharma’s School Has Produced 20+ National and International Cricketers—Here’s How

Desk News — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 16:47:32 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 6: The same school that shaped Rohit Sharma continues to nurture cricketing excellence across generations. Swami Vivekanand International School (SVIS), recognised by many parents as the Best ICSE School in Mumbai and a reputed international school in Mumbai, has long been recognised as a cradle of Indian cricketing talent. Today, SVIS is not only strengthening its legacy in men’s cricket but is also actively promoting women’s cricket, with a clear vision to nurture the next generation of female cricketing legends alongside future stars of the men’s game. Over the decades, SVIS has produced some of India’s most accomplished cricketers, including Rohit Sharma, Shardul Thakur, Harmeet Singh, and Angkrish Raghuvanshi—a legacy that reflects the school’s deep-rooted commitment to sporting excellence alongside academic growth.

SVIS’s contribution to Mumbai cricket is both historic and ongoing. An extraordinary 98 players from SVIS have represented the Mumbai State Team across different age groups, a testament to the school’s robust grassroots development programme.

Siddhesh Lad has played for India A and remains a stalwart of Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy side, while Suved Parkar, Prasad Pawar, and Aatif Attarwala have represented Mumbai in Ranji Trophy, One-Day, and T20 formats. Rising star Angkrish Raghuvanshi has further elevated the SVIS legacy with appearances in the IPL and for India Under-19, signalling the strength of the school’s current talent pipeline.

To further strengthen this cricketing tradition, SVIS has recently developed a large, state-of-the-art sports ground within its campus, enabling year-round training for aspiring cricketers. The facility supports structured practice sessions, advanced fitness routines, and long-term coaching programmes designed to prepare students for competitive cricket at district, state, and national levels.

Cricket training at SVIS is conducted under the expert guidance of Dinesh Lad, one of India’s most respected cricket coaches. Known for shaping some of the country’s finest batting talents, his mentorship at SVIS focuses not only on technical excellence but also on discipline, mental strength, resilience, and sportsmanship—qualities essential for success at the highest level of the game.

Understanding the demands of competitive sport, SVIS also provides a dedicated bus facility for student cricketers, ensuring safe, reliable, and timely travel for training sessions.

Why Learning at The Somaiya School Goes Beyond Classrooms

Desk News — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 15:30:23 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 6: A school is best understood through what happens in its classrooms every day. How children are encouraged to ask questions, how teachers respond to differences in ability, and how learning changes as students grow older—these choices reveal far more than statements of intent. The Somaiya School has shaped its academic structure around this belief, ensuring that learning evolves steadily from early years through senior secondary, while remaining rooted in clarity, relevance, and care.

Across all grades, emphasis is placed on strong conceptual understanding, inquiry-led learning, and real-world readiness. Academic expectations remain high, but learning is never reduced to performance alone. Equal importance is given to thinking, reflection, and the ability to apply knowledge meaningfully.

Early Years and Primary Grades

Education in the early years focuses on building a positive relationship with learning. Teachers encourage curiosity, conversation, and exploration, allowing children to engage actively rather than follow instructions passively. At the Somaiya School, students are encouraged to ask questions freely, particularly questions that help them understand why things work the way they do.

Language learning forms a strong foundation during this stage. Students are introduced to three languages in pre-primary and expand to four languages in the primary years, including English, Hindi, Marathi, and Sanskrit. This multilingual exposure supports cognitive development, communication skills, and cultural awareness from an early age.

Learning experiences are designed to be hands-on and interconnected. Concepts introduced in one subject are reinforced through activities and discussions in another, helping children see relationships across disciplines. Design thinking is introduced through age-appropriate tasks, guiding students to observe, explore ideas, test solutions, and reflect on outcomes.

Class sizes are structured to support individual attention, with kindergarten classes limited to 22 students and primary classes capped at 30. This allows teachers to observe learning closely and respond to each child’s needs while encouraging independence and expression.

Middle School

Middle school represents a shift in depth and responsibility. Teaching during these years is anchored in concept-based learning, helping students understand the principles behind what they study rather than focusing only on information recall.

Classroom instruction is supported through hands-on projects and real-life applications that strengthen clarity and analytical thinking. At the Somaiya School, students are encouraged to apply concepts, explain their reasoning, and engage in discussion. Assessment focuses on understanding and application.

This stage also places emphasis on life skills. Students are guided to develop independence, adaptability, and self-awareness while learning to work within diverse groups. Reflection becomes part of the learning process, helping students recognise strengths, address challenges, and take responsibility for progress.

Technology is integrated thoughtfully to enhance learning. Digital tools are used to support exploration and understanding, while students are encouraged to engage with technology responsibly and purposefully.

Senior Secondary Grades

Senior secondary education brings increased academic choice and independence. Students are encouraged to explore subjects aligned with their interests while maintaining balance through sports, dance, and co-curricular activities that support physical and emotional well-being.

Students entering from different educational systems often arrive with varied levels of preparedness. Faculty members provide focused academic support through additional guidance and hands-on teaching, ensuring continuity without lowering expectations.

Concept-based learning continues to guide instruction, complemented by structured real-world exposure. Internships and industry visits form part of the learning experience, helping students understand how academic knowledge applies beyond school.

Crowdfunding projects integrated into the curriculum introduce students to planning, communication, accountability, and execution. These initiatives at the Somaiya School help learners develop initiative and practical understanding, preparing them for higher education and future professional environments.

Faculty, Relationships, and Leadership

Learning environments are shaped by strong teacher–student relationships. Teaching at The Somaiya School is built on a balance of respect, discipline, care, and approachability. This rapport allows students to feel supported while being challenged academically.

Under the leadership of Principal Mrs Jyothi Malhotra, education is approached as a shared learning process. With experience across primary, secondary, and senior secondary education, she emphasises empathy, reflection, and continuous learning. Teachers are encouraged to function as facilitators who adapt their approach to student needs rather than follow rigid methods.

Ongoing professional development ensures that educators remain responsive to new research, evolving curricula, and emerging tools. Learning extends beyond students to include teachers, creating a dynamic and reflective school community.

Learning as a Shared Responsibility

Student development is strengthened through active partnership with parents. Regular communication and shared understanding support consistency in learning and well-being. This collaboration allows children to feel supported both at school and at home.

Holistic development is embedded in everyday learning rather than treated as a separate goal. Academic growth, personal development, and real-world readiness are addressed together across all grades.

By the time students complete their schooling, they carry forward strong conceptual understanding, confidence in their abilities, and the skills required to continue learning independently. Education, in this sense, remains relevant, grounded, and closely connected to life beyond the classroom.

Ultimately, learning at The Somaiya School is defined not by isolated milestones, but by continuity and intent. Each stage builds carefully on the last, allowing students to grow in confidence, clarity, and capability over time. By combining conceptual rigour with reflection, real-world engagement, and strong relationships, the school creates an environment where learning remains purposeful and adaptive. Students leave not only with academic readiness, but with the ability to think independently, respond thoughtfully to change, and carry learning forward well beyond their school years.

From Strong Foundations to Global Horizons, Beacon High Embraces Cambridge

Desk News — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 15:30:18 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 6: 25 Years of Excellence: In 2025, Beacon High celebrated a remarkable milestone. 25 years of nurturing young minds with care, curiosity and creativity. Founded in 2000 by Dr Kashmira Jamali, under the guidance of her mother, Mrs R. K. Khariwalla – a visionary and futurist in education, Beacon High began with a simple but powerful idea- to create a school where students are seen as individuals and where thinking, confidence and compassion matter as much as academic excellence.

Under the leadership of Dr Kashmira Jamali and Mrs Shehnaz Sumaya, Beacon High is taking a bold next step. The school is transitioning from the ICSE curriculum to the Cambridge Assessment International Education Board, opening doors to global learning while building on the strong foundation it has already laid.

A Boutique School with a Big Vision

From the very beginning, Beacon High was never meant to be a conventional school. Small class sizes, personalised attention and close teacher-student connections have always been at its heart. It is said, “education should inspire curiosity and confidence, not just memorisation,” and for over 25 years, this philosophy has become the school’s identity.

Strong Academic Foundations

The ICSE curriculum gave students a strong academic base incorporating language proficiency, mathematics, sciences and analytical thinking. Beacon High enhanced this with project-based learning, research assignments and interdisciplinary approaches. Students learned to apply knowledge in real-life situations, express ideas clearly and think critically.

This solid foundation makes the move to Cambridge a natural next step. The Cambridge framework emphasises inquiry-based learning, conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking – principles that Beacon High has championed for years. It now adds an international perspective, giving students exposure to global standards while keeping the school’s core values intact.

Learning Beyond Marks

Learning at Beacon High has always gone beyond textbooks. Teachers guide students to ask questions, explore ideas and reflect on their understanding. Assessment is continuous, focusing on growth rather than a single mark. Feedback, observation and self-reflection are part of everyday learning, perfectly aligned with Cambridge’s approach.

Blending Tradition with Technology

Beacon High believes in balancing time-tested teaching methods with modern technology. While students benefit from strong foundational lessons, hands-on experiments and guided discussions, they also engage with digital tools, interactive platforms and online resources that enhance understanding and creativity. This combination ensures learners gain conceptual clarity, develop critical thinking and remain confident in both conventional and digital learning environments.

Inclusion and Individual Growth

Inclusion has been a cornerstone of Beacon High’s journey. Each child learns differently, with unique strengths and challenges. Support systems, remedial programmes, enrichment opportunities and personalised guidance ensure every student thrives. Cambridge’s flexibility strengthens this approach, allowing lessons and assessments to be tailored to diverse learner needs.

Life Skills for the Future

Life beyond academics has always been a priority. Students take part in sports, arts, debates, leadership activities and community projects. These experiences build skills like communication, collaboration, creativity and problem-solving – all essential for life. The goal is to develop confident, responsible and socially aware young people and Cambridge reinforces these skills, preparing students to succeed anywhere in the world.

Teachers at the Heart of Learning

Teachers are at the heart of Beacon High’s success. Reflective, innovative and committed to professional growth, they continuously explore new teaching methods and collaborate to deliver engaging lessons. This culture ensures the transition to Cambridge is smooth and meaningful for both teachers and students.

Parents as Partners

Parents have always been valued partners. Open communication, transparency and collaboration between home and school are central to the Beacon High experience. The Cambridge curriculum offers parents insight into international learning standards, flexible assessments and pathways to higher education both in India and abroad.

A Milestone Leap Forward

The move to Cambridge is not about leaving behind what Beacon High has built over 25 years. It is about expanding horizons, bringing global perspectives into classrooms and enhancing the school’s long-standing commitment to holistic education.

As Beacon High steps into this new chapter, curiosity, confidence and compassion remain the guiding principles. Students are encouraged to think critically, express themselves confidently and engage meaningfully with the world. The journey that began 25 years ago now takes a bold leap into a future full of global opportunities and pathways.

With its rich legacy, dedicated teachers, supportive parents and capable students, Beacon High is ready to continue shaping thoughtful, capable and compassionate learners who are prepared to thrive in an ever-changing world.

A School in Sikkim Is Showing How Education Can Prepare Children for Life

Desk News — Tue, 06 Jan 2026 20:00:13 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 6: Not all schools can attain success in terms of marks and ranks. Success is also identified in confidence, curiosity and student capability to think independently at the Mount Zion School in Sikkim. The school has gradually developed a learning environment that is oriented towards actual knowledge and life preparation.

The development of the school represents a definite opinion that the school should be relevant to the everyday life of a child. The school, under the chairmanship of Sony Virdi, discarded the inflexible teaching methods and strived to make the process of learning more practical and interesting.

And the introduction of the Play Way method was a significant step along this path. As compared to the memorisation of the lessons, students started to learn in the form of activities, interaction and exploration. Teachers noticed the increased involvement and the understanding, in particular among younger students.

Mount Zion School took a progressive step and adopted the use of tablets in the classrooms under chairman Sony Virdi, which were previously unavailable in the region. This transformation assisted students in becoming conversant with technology at an early age. Electronic learning aids facilitated the interactivity of the lessons and their interest to learn; students were permitted to research on their own.

Another area that the school emphasised was equipping children with skills that would help them to face their adult lives. Financial literacy and entrepreneurship made students have knowledge about money and decision-making. Sports and life skills assisted in teamwork, discipline and communication. The parents commonly observed some positive changes in the way the children talked and the way they managed their duties.

The other characterising attribute of the school is the Green Campus. The project will also establish a culture in which sustainability will be the norm in everyday learning. There were difficulties associated with the construction of such a campus, such as landslides and delays. Nevertheless, the project is pursued with perseverance.

Mount Zion School is one of the examples of balanced education in Sikkim nowadays. Its story emphasises the role of intelligent leadership and child-centred planning in the development of schools that help children not only pass exams, but also become better people.

Hon’ble Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh Inaugurates Shrimad Rajchandra Sarvamangal Centre of Excellence for Women at Dharampur

Desk News — Tue, 06 Jan 2026 00:30:14 +0530

Hon’ble Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh inaugurating the Shrimad Rajchandra Sarvamangal Centre of Excellence for Women in Dharampur.

Dharampur (Gujarat) [India], January 5: Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur witnessed a significant moment of national and spiritual confluence with the visit of Shri Rajnath Singh, Hon’ble Defence Minister of India. The visit underscored shared values of service, empowerment, and holistic nation-building, rooted in compassion and purpose.

Accompanied by Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji (Founder of Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur), Shri Rajnath Singh inaugurated the Shrimad Rajchandra Sarvamangal Centre of Excellence for Women (SRCOEW), a pioneering initiative aimed at advancing rural women’s empowerment through integrated skilling, livelihood creation, health, and social development. The inauguration marked an important step towards addressing the structural challenges faced by rural women across India.

As part of the visit, the Hon’ble Defence Minister also participated in a tree plantation at the campus, symbolising sustainability, growth, and long-term stewardship of society and the environment.

A Sacred and Thoughtful Engagement

Shri Rajnath Singh offered reverence at Shri Mahavir Praasad Jinmandir at Shrimad Rajchandra Ashram, Dharampur, reflecting the Mission’s spiritual foundations.This was followed by a formal welcome at the Raj Sabhagruh, where the gathering came together from across the globe.

The assembly was addressed by Senior Sanyasi Atmarpit Nemiji, Vice President of Shrimad Rajchandra Mission, Dharampur, and Personal Secretary to Pujya Gurudevshri. Shri Rajnath Singh also addressed the audience, speaking of the inspiring life and teachings of Shrimad Rajchandraji, Pujya Gurudevshri’s steadfast commitment to spiritual and societal upliftment and the Mission’s benevolent initiatives.

The occasion was further graced by the presence of Shri Nareshbhai Patel, Hon’ble Minister of Tribal Development, Khadi, Cottage and Rural Industries, Gujarat; Shri Mangal Prabhat Lodha, Hon’ble Minister of Skills, Employment, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Maharashtra; and Shri Dhavalbhai Patel, Lok Sabha Whip and Member of Parliament from Valsad.

Addressing a Critical National Need

Rural women form the backbone of India’s economy, yet more than half remain outside the formal workforce, and nearly 87% lack access to structured skilling opportunities. In underserved regions, limited access to education, healthcare, financial inclusion, and government schemes, combined with entrenched social barriers, restrict women’s economic and personal growth.

The Shrimad Rajchandra Sarvamangal Centre of Excellence for Women has been conceived as a response to these interconnected challenges, offering a comprehensive and scalable model of empowerment that bridges economic, social, and cultural gaps.

A Focused Model for Rural Women’s Empowerment

The Shrimad Rajchandra Sarvamangal Centre of Excellence for Women has been conceived to address key barriers faced by rural women, including limited access to skills, livelihoods, healthcare, and institutional support.

Located on an 11-acre campus in Dharampur, the Centre brings together:

Structured skilling and digital literacy programmes
Employment-linked livelihood opportunities through a women-led social enterprise
Platforms for Self-Help Groups, community engagement, and government scheme linkages
On-site health, childcare, and wellness facilities to enable sustained participation

Designed to work across education, health, and livelihoods, the Centre aims to support women’s transition towards economic independence, leadership, and long-term wellbeing.

Regional Impact with a National Vision

In Valsad district, where a large rural population depends on informal and low-income livelihoods, the Centre is expected to strengthen household incomes, improve access to services, and support community-led development. Over time, the Centre is envisioned as a replicable national model, anchoring future centres across India and contributing to women-led rural transformation at scale.

A Meaningful Confluence

The visit underscored Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur’s enduring approach to social upliftment, rooted in spirituality, guided by service, and focused on measurable impact. The inauguration of the Centre stands as a step towards more inclusive and resilient communities, driven by empowered women.

The Global Citizen: Mumbai’s Romeer Rao Forges a Path to University of Southern California

Desk News — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 18:30:26 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 2: Romeer Rao, a high-achieving student from Mumbai, has successfully navigated the demanding US college admissions landscape, securing admission to the prestigious University of Southern California (USC) for a challenging dual bachelor’s degree in Economics and Mathematics. This achievement is a major landmark of his academic career, which is distinguished by significant published research and deep community engagement.

Romeer’s unique perspective was shaped by frequent international relocation, experiencing life and education across Hong Kong, the USA, the Middle East, and India. These transitions, while academically challenging, were embraced as invaluable opportunities for profound cultural immersion and adaptation. His comprehensive application ultimately secured him multiple offers from top-tier global institutions, including the University of Wisconsin-Madison, University College London, and the University of St Andrews, before his final decision to commit to the University of Southern California (USC).

A Foundation of Intellectual Rigour

As a student at Oberoi International School, Mumbai, Romeer attributes his analytical discipline to the demanding International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum. “The IB curriculum challenged me to think critically, question assumptions, and engage in deeper inquiry,” Romeer explained, highlighting the foundational role of rigorous pedagogy in shaping his thinking and curiosity.

The cornerstone of Romeer’s academic profile is his deep and proactive commitment to economic research. Driven by a passion to apply theory to real-world phenomena, he successfully authored and published two substantial research papers in respected international journals.

The first paper, published in iJournals, featured a sophisticated analysis of calendar anomalies, such as the January Effect, on share prices. His second paper, featured in the International Journal of Science and Research, explored the complex interplay between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and income inequality in the specific contexts of India and Japan. This published body of work demonstrates a sophisticated grasp of contemporary global economic dynamics.

“Research was crucial for me in shaping my understanding of Economics. It allowed me to go beyond theoretical knowledge and actively engage with real-world issues,” said Romeer. This active engagement is a clear precursor to his ambition to utilise his forthcoming economic expertise to address pressing global challenges.

Impactful Service and Global Citizenship

Romeer’s commitment to social impact is as remarkable as his academic dedication. His initiative, Project Ekta, was conceived to illuminate the struggles and narratives of Mumbai’s often-marginalised communities. Along with his peers, Romeer conducted over 55 in-depth interviews, translating these powerful stories into targeted Instagram campaigns that successfully reached over 280,000 people, significantly fostering public awareness and encouraging community action.

Furthermore, his dedication to service is deeply personal. One of his most fulfilling commitments has been teaching mathematics to children at the Bal Bhawan Orphanage, providing essential educational support to those with limited access to quality schooling. “Education has the power to change lives,” he reflects. “Mentoring these children and watching them improve has been incredibly rewarding.”

Strategic Guidance from EZScholar

Reflecting on the successful navigation of the complex college application process, Romeer underscored the value of expert, structured guidance. He credited the strategic support he received for elevating his candidature to the highest levels.

“I am really thankful to EZScholar for their excellent guidance and support in my admissions journey,” he stated. “Their focus on developing my profile was a game-changer. Vivek Sir and Nimisha Ma’am guided me towards research, reading and presenting top-notch books, tackling online courses, participating in Olympiads, writing blogs, and engaging in community service—experiences that truly made my application stand out. The EZScholar SAT prep program with rigorous mock tests, strong analysis of my performance and excellent instructors helped me achieve a 1540 final score.”

As Romeer prepares to embrace his dual major at USC, his journey stands as a powerful demonstration of how focused intellectual curiosity, a global perspective, impactful community service, and high-quality, strategic guidance can align to achieve academic success on the world stage. His blend of quantitative skill and empathetic leadership positions him well to become a future leader in global economic policy and research.

How Owning a Preschool Franchise Offers Long-Term Stability and Recurring Income

Desk News — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 12:00:13 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 1: In India, early learning is no longer a “nice to have”. With more dual-income households, smaller families, and a stronger focus on school readiness, preschools have become a planned monthly expense, much like rent or tuition. If you’re considering entrepreneurship with a steadier cash cycle, this category deserves a look. A well-run preschool franchise can deliver predictable enrolments, repeat fee collections, and a business you can run for years without chasing trends.

Why preschools tend to stay relevant in India

Preschools are anchored to demographics and routines. Every year, a fresh batch of children enters the 2-6 age bracket. In most cities and growing towns, migration for jobs keeps neighbourhood demand active. Add the National Education Policy’s focus on early childhood care and education, and parents increasingly look for structured programmes instead of informal arrangements. While location and service quality still decide outcomes, the category is generally less vulnerable to sudden “boom and bust” behaviour.

Recurring income: how the cash flow works

A preschool’s revenue is rarely a one-time sale; it is collected in a rhythm. Many centres structure fees so that income is spread through the year, not limited to the main admission season. Typical income lines include:

Monthly or quarterly tuition fees for playgroup, nursery, and kindergarten
Admission fees and annual charges (often for learning kits or admin)
Day-care or extended hours for working parents
Transport, meals, and event-based charges where legally permitted
Holiday programmes such as summer camps and hobby clubs

Why the franchise model can be steadier than going solo

A preschool franchise is not just a logo on the gate. Good systems reduce trial-and-error, which is where many first-time owners lose money. When you choose the best preschool franchise, you’re typically buying into:

A proven curriculum and daily lesson flow, so teachers deliver consistently
Staff training modules and classroom routines that reduce churn
Launch marketing templates that shorten the ramp-up period
Parent communication formats that build trust and prevent drop-outs
Quality and safety standards that protect your reputation

Long-term stability: retention and referrals

A preschool enjoys repeat business in two ways: retention and referrals. When parents are happy, they usually keep the child for multiple years (playgroup to kindergarten), and many enrol a younger sibling later. They also influence peers in the same society, office, or apartment complex. In India, trust often beats ads, so consistent service can lower marketing spend over time.

The stability levers owners should watch:

Retention: visible learning progress, warm care, and safe routines
Reputation: hygiene, controlled entry/exit, and clear updates
Community fit: language mix and cultural sensitivity around festivals
Timetable reliability: parents value punctuality as much as activities

Cost structure: why margins can improve with scale

A preschool has upfront setup costs – interiors, play equipment, and learning materials. But many monthly expenses become predictable once the centre reaches a stable headcount. Rent, utilities, and core salaries are largely fixed. As enrolment rises, revenue grows faster than those fixed costs, improving margins.

A strong franchise can also help with vendor tie-ups for uniforms and kits, and guidance on staff-to-child ratios, so you avoid over-hiring in year one. Over time, smoother procurement and staff scheduling can further tighten costs.

Risk management: safety and compliance protect income

In early education, one incident can damage trust quickly. Long-term stability depends on disciplined safety practices: background checks, child-safe infrastructure, age-appropriate supervision, and clear illness policies. Depending on your city and operating model, you may need local trade licences, NOCs, fire safety readiness, and food-related permissions if you serve meals.

Parents don’t ask for “luxury”. They ask for safety, hygiene, and predictable care. When you get these basics right, the business becomes more resilient.

Building recurring income beyond admissions

Many centres focus only on standard classes and miss additional revenue that parents genuinely value. Add-ons can increase collections without crowding classrooms:

Extended hours or day-care packages with defined caregiver ratios
Parent workshops on topics like phonics, nutrition, and screen-time hygiene
Partnerships with activity providers for music, art, or sports after class hours

Before you sign: evaluate stability, not just brand buzz

Long-term stability is designed, not automatic. Review unit economics, training depth, and how quickly the support team responds. Speak to franchisees in similar markets (metro, tier-2, or tier-3). Ask about enrolment ramp-up, teacher availability, and complaint handling. Model conservative numbers and keep a buffer for marketing and staffing during the first admission cycle.

A preschool franchise can become a disciplined, community-rooted business with recurring collections and a lasting presence in your neighbourhood. With strong systems, careful hiring, and honest parent communication, it can deliver the steady income many entrepreneurs want, without constant reinvention.

Beyond Classrooms: DPSG Palam Vihar and 1011Sports Build the Future of School Sports

Desk News — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 14:30:11 +0530

New Delhi [India], December 31: At a time when schools across the country are redefining what holistic education truly means, DPSG Palam Vihar has taken a decisive step beyond traditional classroom learning with the inauguration of a dedicated Pickleball Arena on its campus. This forward-looking initiative reinforces the institutionʼs belief that education must nurture not only academic excellence but also physical well-being, character development, and essential life skills.

Developed in collaboration with 1011Sports and RallyGully, the state-of-the-art Pickleball Arena reflects DPSG Palam Viharʼs continued commitment to integrating structured sports into everyday student life. By introducing a globally emerging sport at the school level, the institution aims to offer students diverse opportunities to engage in physical fitness, teamwork, and healthy competition within a professionally managed and safe environment.

Speaking at the inauguration, Mr. Anshul Pathak, Chairman, DPSG Group, emphasized the schoolʼs philosophy of balanced education. “At DPSG, we strongly believe that education extends far beyond academics. Sports play a vital role in shaping discipline, resilience, leadership, and emotional strength in students. The introduction of pickleball aligns with our vision of providing globally relevant sporting opportunities that prepare learners for a dynamic and competitive world,ˮ he said.

Highlighting the importance of a strong sports ecosystem, Mr. Gagan Joshi, Co- Founder, 1011Sports & Sportsynthesis, spoke about the long-term impact of access to quality infrastructure. “Sports excellence begins with access—to the right facilities, trained coaches, and a safe environment. Our partnership with DPSG Palam Vihar is focused on building sustainable, professionally managed sports infrastructure that nurtures young talent from the grassroots and encourages lifelong engagement with sports,ˮ he shared. He also noted that the arena was developed with a conscious choice of green over grey, prioritizing environmentally mindful design over short-term economics to create a facility that can breathe and coexist responsibly with its surroundings.

Adding perspective on the sportʼs rapid rise, Mr. Aditya Khanna, President, Pickleball Association, noted, “Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports globally due to its accessibility and inclusive nature. Introducing it in schools will significantly accelerate awareness, participation, and structured competitive pathways in India.ˮ

Emphasizing community engagement, Mr. Bhanu and Mr. Akshit, Founders of RallyGully, highlighted that the arena is designed not only for students but also for the wider community, helping foster a vibrant and inclusive sporting culture.

The Pickleball Arena will support structured coaching programs, student training, community play, and inter-school tournaments, further strengthening DPSG Palam Viharʼs commitment to well-rounded education. Summing up the vision, Mrs. Ruchi Bhatia, Principal, DPSG Palam Vihar, reiterated that true education trains both the mind and the body—preparing students not just for academic success, but for life.

Vicky Malik Launches Blokista Education Academy to Tackle Business Knowledge Gaps in Startups

Desk News — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 13:10:43 +0530

New Delhi [India], December 31: In an ecosystem where many new ventures struggle within their first few years of operation, a new initiative is aiming to address the skills gap often faced by first-time entrepreneurs. Blokista Education Academy, led by Vicky Malik (Founder & Managing Director), plans to offer structured learning resources focused on business fundamentals such as market understanding, marketing, and operations.

Publicly available industry reports indicate that a significant number of Indian startups shut down annually, underlining the challenges young founders face in navigating the complexities of running a business. These challenges often extend beyond having an idea or securing initial funding.

Experts note that many first-time entrepreneurs are influenced by visible success stories, sometimes without fully understanding the operational and strategic demands of building a sustainable business. “There is a perception that entrepreneurship is quick and simple if others are earning well,” said an industry analyst. “But running a business demands skills that many founders have not been exposed to.”

Why Many Startup Businesses Fail in Their Early Stages

A commonly observed issue across early-stage ventures is limited preparation in areas such as business fundamentals, marketing strategy, and operational planning. Founders may prioritise setting up infrastructure, at times allocating a substantial portion of their initial capital to it, which can restrict resources available for marketing and growth initiatives.

Many entrepreneurs also lack structured exposure to essential functions such as defining a viable product or service, understanding customer needs, analysing competitive markets, and building effective sales channels. Without these foundational capabilities, startups may struggle when real-world conditions differ from initial expectations.

“Too many entrepreneurs underestimate the importance of a marketing strategy,” said a business coach. “They assume that a good product will attract customers on its own, but awareness and customer engagement require deliberate planning and execution.”

Operational challenges can further add pressure. Small teams frequently face difficulties related to cash flow management, performance tracking, hiring, and day-to-day process efficiency. When such core functions weaken, even promising ideas can lose momentum.

In this context, Vicky Malik has spoken about the importance of structured business education for early-stage founders.

Focus on Practical Knowledge on How to Run and Grow a Business

Vicky Malik, who has worked across areas such as finance, technology, and e-commerce, said that many startups struggle not due to a lack of ideas, but because founders are unfamiliar with practical aspects of business execution. He has been involved in advisory and training roles with organisations and now aims to contribute to broader foundational learning for entrepreneurs.

To support aspiring entrepreneurs, Malik’s initiative, Blokista Education Academy Pvt Ltd, is expected to begin operations in early 2026. The academy plans to offer learning programmes covering business basics such as opportunity identification, product or service definition, marketing principles, and operational planning.

Building an Ecosystem for Business Growth Through Training and Support

Blokista Education Academy plans to organise seminars, workshops, and webinars across India, with a focus on practical learning for early-stage founders. These sessions are intended to facilitate interaction between new entrepreneurs and professionals with relevant industry experience.

“We want to create an environment where people can learn how business actually works, rather than just relying on theories or luck,” Malik said in a recent interview. “Understanding core principles – how to attract customers, manage operations, and make informed decisions – is essential for survival and growth.”

How Blokista Education Academy Plans to Address Key Business Gaps

The proposed programmes include startup training seminars, business strategy discussions, and peer learning forums. Topics may also explore emerging tools such as AI and blockchain in a general business context, particularly in relation to operational efficiency and data management.

As India’s startup ecosystem continues to mature, structured learning and early exposure to business fundamentals are increasingly viewed as helpful for improving survival rates. Industry observers note that informed planning and skill development can play a role in helping founders navigate early challenges more effectively.

ISGJ Annual Convocation Celebrates New Talent Shaping India’s Gems & Jewellery Future

Desk News — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 23:30:14 +0530

Surat (Gujarat) [India], December 29: On a winter evening marked by pride, promise, and quiet celebration, the ISGJ Annual Convocation emerged as a defining milestone for India’s next generation of gems and jewellery professionals. Hosted on 20 December at Hotel Radisson, Surat, the ceremony brought together educators, industry leaders, public officials, and families to honour the academic accomplishments of over 200 graduating students from the International School of Gems & Jewellery (ISGJ).

More than a ceremonial gathering, the ISGJ Annual Convocation stood as a reflection of how structured education and industry alignment are steadily transforming one of India’s most heritage-rich sectors into a future-ready global force.

A Moment of Recognition and Responsibility

Convocation ceremonies often carry a sense of closure. At ISGJ, however, the evening felt more like a beginning. As graduates walked across the stage, the applause acknowledged not just certificates earned, but years of discipline, technical training, and creative evolution within a highly specialised industry.

Surat, globally recognised as a nerve centre of diamond processing and jewellery manufacturing, served as a fitting backdrop. Hosting the ISGJ Annual Convocation in the city reinforced the institute’s close ties with the industry ecosystem it serves—one that values precision, trust, and continual skill development.

Leadership That Inspires Confidence

The ceremony was presided over by Shri Daxeshbhai Mavani, Honourable Mayor of Surat, who attended as Chief Guest. His presence underscored the city’s commitment to nurturing education that feeds directly into employment and entrepreneurship. Addressing the graduates, he highlighted the role of skilled professionals in sustaining Surat’s global reputation while embracing innovation and ethical practices.

Adding further gravitas to the occasion was Mr. Anupam Gehlot, Commissioner of Police, Surat, whose participation as Guest of Honour symbolised the broader social and institutional support surrounding vocational and professional education. His message focused on integrity, discipline, and responsibility—values that resonate deeply within the gems and jewellery trade.

Also present was Mr. Jayantibhai Savaliya, Chairman, GJEPC – Gujarat Region, representing the organised industry. His association with the ISGJ Annual Convocation reaffirmed the strong bridge between academic training and real-world industry expectations. As the apex body for the sector, the Gems & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) plays a pivotal role in shaping standards and opportunities for professionals entering the field
(https://www.gjepc.org).

ISGJ’s Role in Industry-Ready Education

Founded with the vision of professionalising gems and jewellery education, ISGJ has steadily positioned itself as a trusted institution for specialised learning. From design and manufacturing to merchandising and business management, the school’s curriculum is structured around practical exposure and industry relevance.
(https://www.isgj.org).

The ISGJ Annual Convocation highlighted this philosophy in action. Graduates represented diverse disciplines, yet shared a common readiness to step into roles that demand both creativity and commercial understanding. Faculty members, mentors, and administrators present at the ceremony reflected the collaborative effort required to prepare students for a competitive global marketplace.

Celebrating Achievement, Looking Ahead

What distinguished the evening was its tone—confident without being ceremonial-heavy, celebratory without losing focus. The event maintained a sense of purpose, reminding graduates that their learning journey now carries greater responsibility. With India continuing to strengthen its position as a global hub for gems and jewellery exports, trained professionals are increasingly central to sustaining growth.

The ISGJ Annual Convocation also served as a reminder that formal education in traditional industries is no longer optional. As global buyers demand transparency, design innovation, and operational excellence, institutions like ISGJ are shaping professionals who can meet these expectations head-on.

A Collective Milestone

For families and mentors, the ceremony marked the culmination of years of effort. For industry leaders in attendance, it offered reassurance that the talent pipeline remains strong. And for the graduates themselves, the ISGJ Annual Convocation symbolised a transition—from students to contributors in a sector that blends legacy with modernity.

As the evening concluded, the atmosphere carried optimism rather than finality. Conversations flowed about future roles, entrepreneurial ambitions, and opportunities across domestic and international markets. In that sense, the convocation achieved what it set out to do: honour achievement while confidently pointing toward what lies ahead.

With its continued focus on quality education, industry integration, and professional values, ISGJ remains well-positioned to shape the future workforce of India’s gems and jewellery sector—one graduating class at a time.

CAT 2025 Toppers’ Preparation Strategy to Success

The CAT exam covers three major sections – Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension, Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning and Quantitative Ability. Candidates should maintain their consistency by solving maximum questions in the QA & LRDI section because both sections assess the problem-solving ability in the exam with accuracy. Consistent revision of important formulas and tricks will help you cover the maximum number of questions within a specified time limit. The Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension section is the important section that provides weightage to the CAT exam and interviews of top IIMs. To get started with VARC, candidates should maintain the habit of daily reading, which includes Aeon essays, editorials and novels which you like.

How to Start Preparation for CAT 2026?

Desk News — Sat, 27 Dec 2025 00:00:32 +0530

Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], December 25: The regional rounds of Band-It 2025, India’s largest inter-school performing arts competition, concluded with remarkable energy and overwhelming participation, reaffirming the platform’s growing impact on India’s student performing arts ecosystem. This year’s regionals witnessed an immense display of talent, creativity, discipline, and confidence, as students from across the country took to the stage with passion and purpose.

Conducted across 11 major cities — Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Madurai, Pune, Mumbai, Chennai, Nagpur, Noida, Hyderabad, and Udaipur — the Band-It 2025 regional rounds brought together over 400 schools and more than 5,000 student performers, making this edition one of the largest and most dynamic in the event’s history.

From powerful vocal performances and technically sound instrumental showcases to high-energy dance routines and thought-provoking speech & drama acts, every city reflected the depth and diversity of young talent emerging across India. The regional rounds were not just competitions, but vibrant celebrations of creativity, teamwork, and self-expression — reinforcing the importance of performing arts in holistic education.

Band-It: A Platform Built on Legacy, Purpose, and Performance

Band-It is an initiative by Furtados School of Music (FSM) — a name that has been synonymous with music education and musical instruments in India for over 160 years. Founded in 1865, Furtados began as a single heritage music store in Mumbai and has since evolved into a nationwide institution spanning music retail, structured music education, digital learning solutions, and large-scale performance platforms.

What started as a music-focused competition has, over the years, grown into India’s largest inter-school performing arts festival, expanding its scope to include Dance and Speech & Drama alongside vocal and instrumental music. This evolution reflects FSM’s belief that every child deserves a stage — whether they express themselves through melody, movement, rhythm, or words.

With each edition, Band-It continues to reinforce the idea that performing arts are not merely extracurricular activities, but powerful tools that build confidence, discipline, collaboration, emotional intelligence, and stage presence among young learners.

A Landmark Partnership with Global Schools Group

Band-It 2025 marked a significant milestone with Global Schools Group (GSG) coming on board as the Official Partner. One of the world’s leading education networks, GSG operates 60+ schools across 11 countries in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East

In India, GSG has established a strong and growing presence across major cities, operating multiple international school brands, offering globally recognised curricula such as CBSE, ICSE, Cambridge, IB, and other international programmes. This nationwide footprint enabled Band-It 2025 to reach a wider student base and strengthened the platform’s regional impact.

In addition to being their Official Partner, GSG, along with their brands like Witty International, Glendale, and Global India International School (GIIS), also served as the Venue Partner for several regional rounds, providing state-of-the-art campuses and auditoriums that elevated the experience for students, parents, and educators. Founded by Mr Atul Temurnikar and led by Mr Rajeev Koul, Deputy COO of Global Schools Group (GSG), GSG champions a holistic education philosophy that seamlessly integrates academics with performing arts, sports, and experiential learning.

Visionary Leadership Driving the Band-It Movement

The growth and sustained relevance of Band-It are driven by the leadership of Dharini Upadhyaya and Tanuja Gomes, Co-CEOs & Co-Founders of Furtados School of Music. Their shared vision of nurturing talent through structured learning, professional exposure, and meaningful performance opportunities has transformed Band-It into a nationally recognised platform.

Under their leadership, FSM has consistently worked towards integrating performing arts into mainstream education, ensuring students experience the discipline, teamwork, and thrill of performing on professionally curated stages. Their approach has helped Band-It evolve beyond a competition into a journey of growth for students, educators, and schools alike.

The Enduring Support of the Furtados Legacy

A strong pillar behind Band-It’s continued success is the unwavering support of Furtados, the parent brand that has championed music education in India for generations. Anthony Gomes and Joseph Gomes have played a key role in carrying forward this legacy, ensuring that initiatives like Band-It receive the support and long-term vision required to grow year after year.

Their constant encouragement and belief in the platform have enabled Band-It to scale nationally, touch thousands of young lives, and maintain the highest standards of quality and professionalism across regions — reinforcing Furtados’ commitment to nurturing the future of performing arts in India.

Celebrating the Stars of Tomorrow

As Band-It 2025 moves toward its much-anticipated Grand Finale, the regional rounds stand as a powerful reminder of the extraordinary talent and potential within India’s student community. The confidence on stage, discipline behind each performance, and joy of expression reaffirm why platforms like Band-It are so vital today.

Band-It continues to celebrate not just competition, but creativity, collaboration, and dreams — empowering students to discover their voice and shine on a national stage. The future of India’s performing arts is bright, bold, and incredibly inspiring.

Sacred Heart School Siliguri: Where Academic Excellence Meets Holistic Development in North Bengal

Desk News — Fri, 26 Dec 2025 17:30:24 +0530

A Premier ICSE Residential and Day Boarding Institution Transforming Education in Eastern India

Siliguri (West Bengal) [India], December 26: In the educational landscape of North Bengal, one institution stands out as a beacon of academic excellence and holistic student development. Sacred Heart School, Siliguri, has emerged as the region’s leading ICSE residential and day boarding school, attracting students not only from across West Bengal but also from neighboring states and countries including Nepal, Sikkim, and Bihar.

Established in 1997 under the Kurseong Sacred Heart Educational Society, this co-educational institution has spent nearly three decades shaping young minds through its commitment to the ICSE and ISC curricula. Located strategically at Panchanand Sarani Road in Matigara, the school’s three-acre campus offers an ideal blend of accessibility and tranquility and is just 4 kilometers from Bagdogra Airport, 10 kilometers from New Jalpaiguri Railway Station, and 5 kilometers from Siliguri’s central bus stand.

National Recognition Validates Academic Leadership

Sacred Heart School’s dedication to educational excellence received prestigious recognition in 2024 when ASSOCHAM honored it as the Best Residential School in North-East India. The institution has also been acknowledged as one of the Top 4 boarding schools of Bengal, cementing its position among the state’s educational elite. Adding another feather to its cap, The Telegraph School Awards recognized Sacred Heart as the best school in North Bengal for Academic Excellence.

These accolades are not merely ceremonial. The school’s recent ICSE examination results speak volumes about its academic rigor. In the 2024-2025 academic year, an impressive 37 out of 72 students scored above 90 percent – a success rate that reflects not just student capability but also the institution’s robust year-round curriculum and specialized winter coaching program designed to build both skills and confidence.

State-of-the-Art Infrastructure Supporting 21st Century Learning

What distinguishes Sacred Heart School from other institutions in Siliguri, Darjeeling, Kalimpong, and Kurseong is its investment in modern educational infrastructure. The campus features smart classrooms equipped with digital learning technology that brings lessons to life through interactive content. High-tech science and computer laboratories provide students with hands-on experience essential for STEM education.

Understanding that residential students need comfort alongside academics, Sacred Heart has invested significantly in air-conditioned dormitories that provide a home-like environment away from home. The recent addition of a children’s park demonstrates the school’s understanding that play and recreation are integral to child development.

For families in Bihar, Nepal, and Sikkim seeking quality boarding education, Sacred Heart’s residential facilities offer comprehensive care. The hostel infrastructure is supported by round-the-clock medical supervision with a well-trained nursing staff and a fully equipped infirmary, addressing every parent’s primary concern about their child’s health and safety.

Beyond Textbooks: A Holistic Educational Philosophy

Sacred Heart School’s educational philosophy extends far beyond academic achievement. The institution has launched innovative programs that prepare students for a rapidly evolving world. The recently introduced Filmmaking Club, open to students from Class 8 onwards, exemplifies this forward-thinking approach. By integrating storytelling, acting, set design, music, and visual arts, the club provides students with opportunities to develop critical thinking, collaboration, problem-solving, and time management skills.

The school’s sports program has also garnered attention, particularly after Sacred Heart students dominated the Interschool Kickboxing Championship with an impressive medal tally of 18. The campus offers diverse athletic facilities including cricket, football, basketball, volleyball, and athletics fields, ensuring that physical development receives equal emphasis alongside intellectual growth.

Career preparation starts early at Sacred Heart. The institution organizes career exposure sessions featuring accomplished professionals. Recent sessions included insights from CA Abhay Bhagat, a Chartered Accountant and Fraud Investigator, who shared his professional journey with students. Even the primary wing participates in Career Week activities, introducing young learners to various professional paths aligned with their subject interests.

Faculty Excellence and Educational Leadership

Under the leadership of Principal Prafullamani Pradhan, along with Directors Anil Gupta and Priyakee Gupta Agarwal, and Associate Director Achintya Gupta, Sacred Heart School has built a reputation for educational innovation while maintaining traditional values. The school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10:1, ensuring personalized attention for each student.

The faculty comprises experienced educators who don’t just teach subjects but mentor students in their overall development. This approach has proven successful, as evidenced by the school’s alumni network that includes doctors, engineers, judges, business professionals, and even actors making their mark both in India and internationally.

Strategic Location: A Gateway for Regional Students

For families in Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Kurseong, and other hill stations seeking quality education without the extreme altitude of higher mountain schools, Siliguri’s location offers the perfect balance. The city’s connectivity makes Sacred Heart School accessible for students from Nepal’s border regions, Bihar’s northern districts, and Sikkim’s various areas.

The school’s day boarding option provides flexibility for local Siliguri families who prefer their children to receive structured education and extracurricular exposure during the day while returning home in the evenings. Meanwhile, the residential program offers students from distant locations like Nepal, Bihar’s

Purnia or Katihar districts, and Sikkim the opportunity to receive world-class ICSE education in a safe, nurturing environment.

Mental Health and Wellbeing: A Priority

Recognizing that academic pressure can affect adolescents, Sacred Heart School has established a comprehensive mental health program led by external counselor Deepika Tarafder. This initiative reflects the institution’s holistic understanding that emotional and mental wellbeing are as crucial as academic achievement for long-term success.

Technology Integration and Future Readiness

Sacred Heart School is preparing students for the digital age through various technology initiatives. The institution recently hosted Dr. Joseph Emmanuel, CEO and Secretary of the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), who spoke about artificial intelligence, innovation, and the changing educational landscape. His message to students: to believe in themselves, focus on growth, and embrace technology as an enabler of creativity: aligns perfectly with Sacred Heart’s vision of creating future-ready graduates.

The school is developing a robotics laboratory and has introduced a next-generation computer science program for the primary section, ensuring that even young students develop digital literacy from their formative years.

Comprehensive Curriculum: ICSE and ISC Excellence

As an institution affiliated with the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), Sacred Heart School offers both ICSE (Class 10) and ISC (Class 12) programs. The ISC curriculum provides students with options across Science, Commerce, and Arts streams, allowing them to pursue their academic interests and career aspirations.

The ICSE curriculum’s comprehensive approach, which emphasizes detailed understanding over rote learning, particularly benefits students planning to pursue higher education both in India and abroad. The globally recognized ICSE certification opens doors to universities worldwide, making Sacred Heart an excellent choice for families with international aspirations.

Assisted Coaching and Competitive Exam Preparation

Understanding that many students aim for competitive examinations alongside their board exams, Sacred Heart School has introduced assisted coaching for competitive exams. This additional support system helps students prepare for entrance tests to premier institutions without compromising their regular academic performance. The specialized winter coaching program has become particularly popular, helping students build confidence and refine their examination strategies.

Community and Values: The Sacred Heart Difference

What truly sets Sacred Heart School apart is its emphasis on character development and community values. The institution is managed by the Kurseong Sacred Heart Educational Society, whose members are committed to the social, cultural, and educational development of children from all backgrounds without discrimination of caste or creed.

This inclusive philosophy creates a diverse student community where children from different regions, religions, and socio-economic backgrounds learn together, preparing them for the pluralistic society they’ll navigate as adults. Alumni testimonials consistently highlight how the school’s values of humility, punctuality, perseverance, and hard work have shaped their professional and personal lives.

Young, Global, Grounded: How Shubhanshi Chakraborty Is Taking India’s Indigenous Wisdom to the World

Desk News — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 15:30:30 +0530

Shubhanshi Chakraborty

New Delhi [India], December 22: At a time when questions of sustainability, cultural memory, and identity are being revisited through younger voices, Shubhanshi Chakraborty stands out for her thoughtful engagement with indigenous knowledge systems and disappearing cultural practices. A writer, filmmaker, and advocate, her work consistently explores how traditional wisdom can inform contemporary ideas of progress.

Her contributions have earned her significant recognition at a young age, most notably the Mahatma Award 2025, placing her among a distinguished group of past recipients that includes leaders from business, philanthropy, and social impact. She has also represented India at the 1M1B Activate Impact Summit at the United Nations, carrying forward narratives rooted in India’s ecological and cultural heritage to a global audience. In conversation with Ahmedabad Mirror, Chakraborty reflects on her book Past Is Forward, her short film Natok, and the responsibility she feels to preserve cultural knowledge at a time when indifference poses its greatest threat

1. Your book Past Is Forward is rooted in tribal memories and traditional wisdom. Which personal experience first planted the seed for this narrative?

Answer:
The seed was planted the moment I became aware of how casually we dismiss the lived knowledge of our own land. Growing up, I watched traditional practices, particularly within tribal and rural communities being branded as backward or obsolete, often without any real attempt to understand why they existed in the first place.

That unease deepened during my academic years. Ancient texts, indigenous systems, and belief structures were frequently examined only through the lens of their limitations, rarely for their internal logic, ecological wisdom, or cultural context. This one-sided scrutiny stayed with me.

Past Is Forward emerged from that discomfort, from a persistent question: does progress truly require the erasure of memory, or can memory itself be a sophisticated form of intelligence, guiding us toward a more rooted and humane future?

2. You often describe sustainability as a way of living rather than a concept. What lesson from tribal or rural communities do you feel the world urgently needs to learn?

Answer:
For tribal and rural communities, limits are seen as expressions of balance. Sustainability, for them, is not driven by fear about the future or anxiety about scarcity, it grows out of a deep, intimate love for the land. That distinction is crucial.

Restraint in these communities is never experienced as deprivation. Consumption is guided by seasons, rituals, and genuine need rather than unchecked desire. What they take is always measured against what can be given back.

Today, the global conversation around sustainability is dominated by data, targets, and policy frameworks. Indigenous communities, on the other hand, live sustainability instinctively. Their lives are rooted in an awareness of consequence, an understanding that you cannot live well if you are disconnected from the impact of your actions on the world around you.

That lesson is both simple and urgent: care, not fear, must be the foundation of how we sustain our planet.

Sustainability is a way of being in relationship with the planet.

3. The title “Past Is Forward” suggests that the answers to our future lie in our roots. How did you come to this philosophy?

Answer:

By noticing a pattern, whenever we face a crisis, ecological, social, even psychological, we look for futuristic solutions, but the frameworks we need already exist.

Our past was not perfect, but it was deeply observant. People understood climate, land, community, and responsibility through lived experience.

For me, Past Is Forward asserts that genuine progress comes from interpreting the past with intellectual rigour and contextual relevance for the present. In an age of ecological breakdown, the book offers a counterintuitive yet necessary perspective, that ancient wisdom may hold keys to our contemporary sustainability crisis.

By revisiting ecological principles in philosophical ideas such as Dharma (duty and balance), Karma (action and consequence), and Prana (the animating life force), the book demonstrates how these concepts align closely with modern environmental science. Together, they remind us that sustainability is ultimately about relationships, recognising the deep interconnectedness between human action, ecological systems, and the future we are shaping.

4. Your short film Natok highlights the struggles of Chhau dancers. What inspired you to choose this community and art form for your first film?

Answer:

Chhau struck me because it is visually powerful, culturally rich, and yet economically invisible.

These dancers preserve a centuries-old martial-art tradition, but many of them struggle to make a living from it. That contradiction disturbed me.

I chose Chhau because it represents so many traditional art forms in India, celebrated in theory, neglected in reality.

Natok was my attempt to shift the gaze from performance to people.

It seeks to depict the tribulations of individuals I have closely observed, people who practise their art, worship through it, and live within it. For them, these art forms are quiet whispers of reassurance during turbulence, often beyond their own comprehension. These artforms are the core of their existence, a very big part of their lives yet it is too little, too little to earn from, too little to survive on and with every tick it passes away, intertwines with the whistling winds and fades into nothingness.

5. Both your book and film focus on cultural preservation. In your view, what is the biggest threat to traditional knowledge today?

Answer:

indifference.

Traditional knowledge is disappearing because fewer people feel responsible for carrying it forward.

When knowledge is not documented, contextualised, or respected, it fades quietly.

The real threat is the idea that modernity and tradition cannot coexist.

Urbanisation and formal education systems frequently disconnect younger generations from intergenerational knowledge transfer. The most damaging assumption, however, is the belief that tradition and modernity are inherently incompatible. This false binary pushes traditional knowledge to the margins, rather than allowing it to evolve alongside contemporary science and technology.

In reality, cultural diversity functions much like ecological diversity, it is a reservoir of resilience, ethical insight, and adaptive intelligence. If we fail to recognise traditional knowledge as a living resource rather than a relic of the past, we risk losing not only cultural heritage, but also critical tools for navigating our shared planetary crisis.

6. You have represented India at the 1M1B Activate Impact Summit at the United Nations. What core message from India’s heritage were you excited to take to the global stage?

Answer:

That sustainability is not a new invention for us.

From community-managed resources to philosophies that place humans within nature rather than above it, India offers a worldview that is deeply relevant today.

I emphasised that development without rootedness is inherently unstable. Cultural memory, traditional knowledge, and ecological wisdom are active instruments of resilience, equity, and sustainability. By integrating heritage with innovation, India demonstrates that ancient wisdom can guide the world toward solutions that are not only effective but regenerative.

7. Winning the Mahatma Award 2025 at just 18 is incredible. Which part of your work do you think resonated most with the jury?

Answer:

Whether through writing, film, or advocacy, I have always returned to the same guiding question, How do we move forward without losing ourselves?

The jury seemed to recognise that this is not activism for attention, but a sustained engagement with culture, ethics, and sustainability. It was actually humbling to receive the Mahatma Award, especially knowing that in the past, it has been conferred upon visionaries I deeply admire, Ratan Tata, Rajashree Birla, and Sudha Murty. Being included in the same lineage of honourees reinforces my belief that even young voices can contribute meaningfully to long-term, transformative ideas.

8. You were invited as visiting faculty at Shiv Nadar University at a very young age. How did stepping into a teaching role influence your own perspective as a learner?

Answer:

Teaching made me realise that clarity is the highest form of understanding.

When students ask why relentlessly, there is no hiding behind jargon or assumptions, you are forced to articulate ideas in their simplest and most precise form.

It pushed me to question my own assumptions and to remain a learner first, because knowledge only stays alive when it’s open to dialogue.

In guiding others, I found myself becoming a better, more conscious learner, someone who listens as much as they explain, and who recognises that curiosity is the foundation of both teaching and understanding.

9. From writing to filmmaking to advocacy—what drives you to tell stories across different mediums?

Answer:

Some stories need arguments. Some need images. Some need emotion.

I don’t choose the medium, the story does.

What drives me is the belief that cultural memory must be felt. Different mediums allow different entry points into the same truth.

10. What is the next story or cultural practice you are passionate about documenting before it fades from collective memory?

Answer:

I’m increasingly drawn to indigenous ecological practices,especially how communities interpret land, water, and climate through ritual and narrative memory.

These are survival knowledge systems.

Documenting them is about preserving intelligence we may urgently need again.

From Tier-2 Schools to Tech Champions: How RoboSpecies Technologies Pvt. Ltd. Is Creating Young Innovators

Desk News — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 22:30:20 +0530

New Delhi [India], December 19: Discussions around education in India often centre on metro cities and well-known private institutions. However, many meaningful changes are taking place in Tier-2 towns, where schools are reassessing how science and technology are taught. These schools may not have extensive infrastructure, but they increasingly recognise that textbook-led instruction alone does not prepare students for modern academic or professional demands.

As technology becomes a part of nearly every industry, schools outside major cities are looking for practical ways to introduce students to applied learning. Robotics, coding, electronics, and structured STEM activities are being adopted not as extras, but as core learning tools. School-based innovation labs are helping create environments where students work with concepts directly, rather than only reading about them.

The Tier-2 Education Context

Tier-2 schools often operate under practical constraints. Student interest is high, but access to advanced tools, specialised training, and structured lab environments can be limited. Teaching still tends to prioritise theory, leaving little room for application-based learning.

Parents are also becoming more aware of this limitation. As children interact with technology daily, expectations from schools have changed. Families want education systems that explain how things work, not just how to answer exam questions. This has increased interest in STEM programs that fit within existing school schedules and resources.

Why Applied Learning Matters

When students assemble components, write basic code, or test simple mechanisms, learning becomes more concrete. Concepts from physics, mathematics, and logic are easier to understand when students can observe results directly. Errors are part of the process, allowing students to adjust and try again.

Educators consistently report higher engagement when lessons involve physical activity or experimentation. Students who struggle with abstract instruction often respond better when ideas are demonstrated through models or working systems. For Tier-2 schools, applied learning helps reduce dependence on rote methods and allows students to demonstrate understanding through action.

Creating Structured Learning Environments

Effective STEM education requires consistency. One-off workshops or isolated kits often fail to deliver lasting results. Schools that see progress typically use a structured approach that includes dedicated lab spaces, curriculum-linked activities, trained facilitators, and defined learning outcomes.

Turnkey innovation lab models allow schools to integrate robotics, coding, electronics, and basic automation into regular timetables. Students start with foundational concepts and gradually move to more complex builds and programs. Over time, this approach helps develop planning skills, logical reasoning, and teamwork.

RoboSpecies Technologies Pvt. Ltd. follows this structured model by setting up school-based innovation labs that include infrastructure, curriculum support, and facilitator training, allowing schools to run practical STEM programs as part of regular instruction rather than as extracurricular activities.

RobotriX Kits and Hands-On Skill Development

RoboSpecies Technologies Pvt. Ltd. uses its proprietary RobotriX Kits as a core part of lab-based learning. These kits are designed to support gradual skill development across different age groups. Students work with mechanical parts, sensors, and control elements to build functional models that align with their academic level.

Younger students focus on basic movement, structure, and mechanical principles. Older students work with more advanced assemblies that introduce electronics and automation. The kits are used within a guided framework, ensuring that activities reinforce classroom concepts rather than replacing them.

For Tier-2 schools, this approach helps introduce technical skills in a controlled and accessible way, without requiring extensive prior exposure.

TinkerBrix and Coding Integration

To complement physical lab work, RoboSpecies Technologies Pvt. Ltd. uses TinkerBrix, a coding and simulation platform that supports structured programming instruction. The platform allows students to practise logic-building and coding concepts before applying them to physical models.

Early learners use visual and block-based coding, while senior students move toward text-based programming and hardware interaction. Simulated environments help students understand circuits, code flow, and system behaviour without trial-and-error damage to physical components.

By linking coding instruction with robotics and electronics projects, TinkerBrix helps students understand how software controls physical systems, reinforcing computational thinking in a practical context.

Tinker Bot for Early Learning Environments

Introducing logic and sequencing at an early age does not always require screens. RoboSpecies Technologies Pvt. Ltd. has developed Tinker Bot, a screen-free robot designed for Anganwadi centres and primary schools.

Tinker Bot focuses on basic skills such as direction, sequencing, and cause-and-effect. Children interact with the robot physically, learning through movement and repetition. This method supports early cognitive development while limiting screen exposure.

For early education settings, Tinker Bot provides a way to introduce structured thinking and problem-solving in a form that suits young learners.

Expanding Access Beyond Metro Schools

One clear advantage of structured STEM labs is wider access. Students in Tier-2 towns often have similar potential to those in metro schools but fewer opportunities to engage with applied learning early on. When schools introduce guided lab programs, location becomes less relevant.

Early exposure to robotics and coding helps students become familiar with technical concepts before higher education. These skills remain useful across disciplines, including engineering, design, research, and entrepreneurship. Practical experience also improves confidence when students encounter advanced subjects later.

Learning Outcomes Beyond Exams

Schools that implement regular STEM lab activities often notice changes beyond academic performance. Students become more comfortable working in groups, documenting their work, and explaining outcomes. Projects encourage discussion, planning, and reflection.

As students gain experience, they begin to approach problems methodically. Technology becomes a tool for understanding and experimentation rather than a theoretical subject. This shift supports independent thinking and long-term learning habits.

Moving Forward

Miles Education Launches CAIRA to Prepare Accountants for the AI Era, Backed by Global Accounting Innovators

Desk News — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 14:00:19 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 18: Miles Education recently launched CAIRA (Certified AI-Ready Accountant), India’s first AI credential built specifically for accounting and finance professionals. Designed in close collaboration with global accounting innovators, CAIRA sets a new benchmark for what it means to be future-ready in an AI-driven profession.

As accounting rapidly evolves from compliance-focused execution to strategic value creation, CAIRA addresses a growing industry gap. While technology adoption accelerates across audit, tax, controllership, advisory, and FP&A, clarity around the skills accountants need to lead in this new environment has remained fragmented. CAIRA brings that clarity.

“AI is not replacing accountants. Accountants who know how to use AI are replacing those who don’t,” said Varun Jain, CEO of Miles Education. “CAIRA is beyond AI tools. With CAIRA we are shaping judgement, and leadership for the Future CPA. The goal is simple. Automate the routine and enable accountants to become strategic pilots of the business.”

From Number Crunchers to Strategic Leaders

CAiRA is structured to help professionals move beyond manual processes and spreadsheet-driven workflows into higher-impact decision-making roles. The curriculum combines foundational AI understanding with hands-on application across accounting functions, while also addressing governance, ethics, and leadership in an AI-enabled world.

CAIRA Level 1 offers over 30 hours of NASBA-approved CPE, delivered through expert-led masterclasses, practical demonstrations, and live discussions. The program is designed for CPAs, CMAs, and finance professionals working across public accounting, Global Capability Centers (GCCs), and multinational finance teams.

Industry-Led, Ecosystem-Driven

The launch of CAIRA was anchored by three major industry conclaves hosted by Miles Education in Bengaluru and shaped by real conversations with the people building the future of the profession. These forums brought together senior leaders from Deloitte, KPMG, EY, BDO Rise, Cognizant, and other leading firms, along with national academic leaders. The conversations were practical and grounded, led by people actively redefining how accounting and finance teams are built, trained, and led in an AI-first world.

M-FIN 2025 (November 22), the Miles Finance GCC Conclave, focused on AI for CFO Teams and how AI is changing forecasting and decision-making.
Miles Conclave 2025 (December 5) brought together academic leaders to discuss AI-integrated business education.
M-PACT 2025 (December 6), the Miles Public Accounting GCC Conclave, focused on The Future CPA and how public accounting is evolving with AI.

The CAIRA curriculum reflects these discussions, with learning tracks that include AI Foundations for Accountants, Applied AI Across Accounting Functions, and AI Leadership and Strategy, along with a strong emphasis on professional judgement and ethical responsibility.

Global Recognition and Career Mobility

Candidates who complete CAIRA receive a digital Certified AI-Ready Accountant badge, shareable on LinkedIn and professional platforms, signaling readiness for Big 4 firms, top public accounting firms, and multinational employers.

Integrated into the Miles One App, CAIRA is accessible anytime, anywhere for Miles CPA and CMA candidates. The credential also complements the Miles US Pathway, supporting career mobility into high-impact roles across U.S. firms and India-based GCCs.

About Miles Education

Miles Education is a global accounting and finance education company built around one clear belief: the future of the profession depends on how well talent is prepared for real industry demands. Miles works backwards from workforce shortages, regulatory requirements, and firm-level capability gaps to design pathways that produce job-ready, globally competitive accountants.

Today, Miles is best known for building large-scale CPA and CMA pathways, enabling talent mobility across the U.S., India, and Global Capability Centers. Through its integrated ecosystem, including CPA, CMA, CAIRA, Miles Masterclass, and the U.S. Pathway, Miles equips candidates with not just credentials, but the skills, judgement, and confidence required to succeed in modern accounting roles.

With partnerships across public accounting firms, GCCs, universities, and industry leaders, Miles continues to shape how the next generation of accountants is trained, certified, and deployed. As the profession evolves in the age of AI, Miles remains focused on one outcome above all else: creating accountants who are ready to lead what comes next.

Desk News — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 18:30:12 +0530

New Delhi [India], December 17: Choosing the top GMAT practice tests in 2026 is essential for scoring high. Excellent mock tests make it possible for test-takers to get familiar with an actual exam environment, point out their errors, and assist them in getting better gradually. There are numerous alternatives, but understanding what is important can be a great time and stress saver. Read till the end, and know how to choose the best GMAT Mock test in 2026.

Institute	Mock Test Fees	Number of Mocks Included
GMATPoint	₹2499 for 10 GMAT FE Full-length Mocks and ₹4999 for GMAT Question Bank + 10 Mocks (after discount)	10 full-length GMAT Focus Edition mocks
TIME (T.I.M.E.)	₹4,950 for Basic and ₹6,950 for Enhanced	7 (Basic) or 10 (Enhanced) adaptive & sectional mocks are 40 and 90, respectively
IMS (Manya Education)	around ₹16,000+GST	6 full-length mocks
Kaplan (Manhattan Prep by Kaplan)	Starts from approx. $359 (~₹32,000) for self-study courses	~6 practice tests bundled in premium courses

Since there are a lot of institutes that provide GMAT Mock test series. If you are preparing seriously for the exam then you should consider these factors before choosing the test series:

Price: For students, it can be a major deciding factor when it comes to choosing a test series. Generally, the GMAT mock test series is on the expensive side. But GMATPoint offers high-quality mocks at very affordable prices.

Mock Analysis: It is more important to analyse the mock test then just blindly giving mocks. Few mocks with proper analysis will benefit more than giving a large no. of mocks. The mock analysis interface should be good so that you can see the time spent on each question and learn from it.

Difficulty Level: A good mock test series should not be too difficult and not too easy. The mock test series which is close to the actual GMAT exam, is the best.

Benefits of Taking the GMAT Mock Tests?

Preparing for the GMAT exam is not easy, and mock tests play a very important role in scoring well. Here are some benefits of taking the GMAT mock test:

Get familiar with the actual exam format: GMAT mock tests are designed in the same way as the real exam, thus you become aware of the requirements of the test day.
Improve time management: Exercises with mocks make you discover the time that should be allotted to each question.
Spotting the weaknesses: The mock tests help you understand which parts, e.g., Quant, Verbal, or Data Insights.
Reduce exam fear and stress: By doing more mocks, you become more sure and less nervous about the real exam.
Practice under exam pressure: Completing mocks prepares you to be able to keep your attention for long hours, as in the case of the real GMAT.
Track your score improvement: Frequent mock tests allow you to notice your progress and make changes in your study plan accordingly
Improve accuracy and speed: By repeating the practice, one keeps silly mistakes at bay, and thus, the performance is overall improved.
Build exam-day confidence: Being acquainted with the test setting gives the feeling of readiness and command of the situation.

GMAT Mock Test Taking Strategy 2026

Taking mock tests regularly helps you understand where you stand in your GMAT preparation. Start by taking one mock test per week and focus on improving weak areas. Gradually increase the number of mocks as the exam approaches. This will help you manage time better and improve your performance. Below is a simple and easy-to-follow strategy to tackle GMAT mock tests in 2026:

Take one mock early to know your level
Attempt every mock like the real exam
Check mistakes immediately after the test
Fix weak areas before the next mock
Start with one mock per week
Increase to 2 mocks near the exam
Focus on time control, not perfection

Common Mistakes to Avoid While Taking GMAT Mocks

Avoid these common mistakes in your GMAT preparation. Always treat mock tests just like the real exam. Don’t ignore time limits, pause the test, or only focus on your score without checking your mistakes. Don’t keep repeating the same mock without reviewing your weak points or guessing answers randomly. Also, don’t change your strategy too much or take mocks right before the exam without enough preparation.

Candidates often appear in mock tests to improve their scores, but they still make common mistakes. Here’s what you can avoid:

Treating mocks casually instead of like the real exam
Ignoring time limits or pausing the test
Taking too many mocks without proper analysis
Focusing only on the score, not the mistakes
Repeating the same mock again and again
Not reviewing weak areas after each test
Guessing blindly instead of using logic
Changing too many strategies at once
Taking mocks too close to the exam

GMAT Mock Test – FAQs

Q1. How many GMAT mock tests should I take?

8-10 full-length mocks are usually enough.

Q2. When should I start taking mock tests?

After completing the basic syllabus.

Q3. How often should I take GMAT mocks?

Once a week initially, twice a week closer to the exam.

Q4. Are GMAT mock tests harder than the real exam?

The CMA Wave Sweeping India: How Miles Is Redefining the Future of Global Finance

Desk News — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 20:30:38 +0530

A transformational journey that begins with clarity, ambition, and the right ecosystem.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 15: When Indian students dream of global careers, two words increasingly shape their aspirations: MILES Education and Certified Management Accountant (CMA). The rise of Miles CMA is not a coincidence—it is a movement. It is the story of how an entire generation is choosing global relevance over traditional boundaries, and how Miles Education CMA is empowering them with the tools, mentorship, and ecosystem to get there.

Across campuses, corporate floors, and finance forums, one question is becoming surprisingly common: “How do I fast-track a global finance career?” The answer, for thousands of aspirants, begins with choosing the right learning partner and the right credential. CMA is no longer just another qualification. It is a gateway to strategy, analytics, decision-making, and leadership. And in India, the one name synonymous with this transformation is Miles CMA.

The surge in demand is not limited to metros or traditional financial hubs. Whether it is a student planning for CMA in Bangalore, a working professional researching CMA in Hyderabad, or a fresher aiming for CMA in Mumbai, the aspiration is the same: a global career built on competence, recognition, and mobility. Even beyond these central regions, the momentum continues—CMA in Delhi, CMA in Pune, CMA in Ahmedabad, CMA in Kolkata, CMA in Kochi, and CMA in Chennai are witnessing unprecedented enrolment interest. Miles has become the learning partner of choice because it consistently delivers outcomes.

Part of the Miles success story lies in how it breaks down the CMA journey with precision. Students engage deeply with CMA Books—not merely as study material, but as a roadmap to decision science, analysis, and strategic leadership. With the right structure, curated explanations, and global faculty insights, aspirants learn much faster and much smarter than traditional formats allow. The three CMA Books series—Financial Planning, Strategic Financial Management, and Analytics—have become the foundation for thousands preparing for this global credential.

But the real differentiator is that Miles Education CMA does not operate as a coaching center. It positions itself as India’s largest CMA ecosystem. This ecosystem is built on 70,000+ alumni, 100+ university partnerships, 600+ employer collaborations, and a career mentorship framework that continues far beyond classroom learning. With such scale and depth, it is clear Why MILES is No.1 CMA Institute in India.

Every aspirant entering the CMA journey worries about planning, strategy, and growth. This is where the institute’s flagship placement enabler—the Miles U.S. Pathway—steps in. It connects students with real opportunities in India and the U.S., making global finance careers achievable and structured. The pathway is not theoretical—it has led to 1,000+ students being placed in the U.S., with many more working in top MNCs and GCCs across India.

Affordability and transparency also play a major role. With the structured breakdown of miles education cma fees, students know exactly what they are investing in—learning, resources, examinations, and mentorship. And with high ROI, most candidates recover their investment within months of employment.

Every milestone of the CMA journey feels more achievable because of the guidance from Mr. Varun Jain, CPA, CMA, Harvard-trained educator and CEO of Miles Education. His message to learners reflects the philosophy that powers the institution:
“Finance is no longer about recording the past—it’s about shaping the future. When you learn to think like a strategist, the world begins to open in ways you never imagined.”

This perspective is why students trust Miles. They don’t just learn accounting—they learn to think like leaders, analysts, and decision-makers.

What started as a certification is now becoming a national wave. Families from Tier 1, 2, and even Tier 3 cities are choosing CMA because they see the transformation in alumni stories. Employers prefer CMA candidates because they bring global structure, analytical rigor, and strategic clarity. And students choose Miles CMA because it offers certainty, credibility, and direction in a world where careers must evolve continuously.

Beyond training and exams, the institute nurtures a culture of ambition. Learners find themselves mentored by global educators, coached through one-on-one sessions, supported in placements, and connected to a network that stays with them throughout their careers.

This is not just the story of CMA.

This is the story of an India preparing for global leadership—one student, one professional, one dream at a time.

And at the center of this revolution stands Miles Education, shaping futures with confidence, clarity, and world-class expertise.

The True Cost of Becoming Global: Understanding the Investment Behind the CMA Dream

Desk News — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 20:30:29 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 15: For thousands of Indian students and professionals standing at the crossroads of ambition and opportunity, MILES Education has become the bridge that connects aspiration to achievement. And at the centre of this journey lies one essential question every aspirant asks before enrolling for the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) credential: What does it truly cost to become global? Understanding CMA Admission, the structure of CMA Course Fees, and how to budget for the certification is not merely a financial exercise—it is a career preparation milestone.

Today, as global capability centres, multinational corporations, and top finance teams increasingly choose CMA-qualified professionals, the conversation around CMA course Fees in India has become as important as understanding the exam itself. For many families, clarity on CMA Course Fees becomes the turning point in the decision-making process. And that clarity begins with understanding where every rupee and dollar is spent, and how it translates into long-term career growth.

The full structure of the US CMA Course Fees includes multiple components—registration charges, IMA membership, exam fees, study materials, retake fees, and coaching support. What makes CMA unique is that each part of the journey requires a separate investment. From paying the CMA entrance fee to scheduling each part of the exam, aspirants must track timelines and budgets with precision. For Indian candidates evaluating US CMA Course Fees, the breakdown becomes even more essential because costs vary for students and working professionals.

This is where Miles Education CMA Fees stands apart—not just in affordability but in transparency. With standard materials priced at ₹84,400 and significant IMA fee savings through its Platinum Partner advantage, the effective cost of the Miles program is among the most competitive in the market. For thousands of families comparing CMA course fees in India, Miles emerges as the institute that balances quality, credibility, and value.

But numbers are only part of the story. What truly strengthens Miles’s appeal is its integrated academic-to-career design. Through the Miles U.S. Pathway, the institute not only supports students with exam preparation but also unlocks real opportunities for placements in India and the U.S. This makes the discussion around CMA Course Fees far more meaningful—because it highlights the return on investment rather than just the expense.

The structure of the CMA Exam Fees is another essential element. The fees must be paid per exam part, and scheduling within the testing windows demands precision. While CMA Exam Fees and membership payments are non-refundable, the value they offer is significant: access to global resources, professional networks, and recognition from IMA, a leading international body. For students budgeting their journey, this expense is not a sunk cost—it is a strategic investment.

What aspirants often overlook is the importance of planning beyond exam costs. Study materials, rescheduling charges, additional resources, and personal preparation tools can influence the total financial picture. Yet with Miles offering extensive learning kits, MCQs, mock exams, simulations, and live sessions, most students find themselves well-equipped without needing external materials. This reduces the unpredictability associated with CMA Course Fees.

When it comes to CMA Admission, Miles provides unmatched end-to-end guidance. From advising on documentation to navigating membership registration and scheduling strategies, the institute removes friction from the process. Families find comfort knowing that every step—from fee payment to exam booking—is streamlined with expert support.

CEO Varun Jain, CPA, CMA, and Harvard B-School Alumnus, often tells students: “A financial investment becomes meaningful only when it multiplies your opportunities. CMA is not a cost—it is your entry ticket to global relevance.”

His philosophy is deeply in how Miles structures its training and fee ecosystem.

The long-term appeal of the CMA credential becomes evident when aspirants examine salaries and career mobility. With CMAs earning between ₹7–12 LPA in India and $70,000–$100,000+ globally, most candidates recover their CMA Course Fees within a year of employment. This robust ROI makes the decision compelling for students who are evaluating CMA Admission from a financial perspective.

And above all, what positions Miles as the No. 1 CMA Institute in India is not its fee structure but its outcomes—70,000+ alumni, 600+ employer collaborations, a global network, and hundreds placed in the U.S. This ecosystem transforms the investment into lifelong value.

In a world where education choices shape futures, understanding US CMA Course Fees is not about affordability—it is about vision. And with Miles Education leading the nation’s CMA revolution, the investment has never looked more promising.

Podar International School Expands Legacy with New Campus in Bharuch Open its 22nd school in Gujarat State

Desk News — Sat, 13 Dec 2025 22:30:36 +0530

Bharuch (Gujarat) [India], December 13: Bharuch has a serious upgrade in schooling. The Podar International School, Bharuch, is already in business, and it is in the long run.

A Grand Opening of Podar International School Bharuch.

The Podar International School has already created another milestone in its journey in Gujarat, having opened its 22 nd school in Gujarat. It is a new campus situated adjacent to Tulsi Chowk, behind the GAIL Township, Shravan Chowkdi on Bharuch Dahej Bypass Road. It is not an experiment of expansion. This is a calculated step towards enhancing academics in a region that is booming.

Notably, the Podar International School Bharuch is the sole Podar campus in Bharuch and Ankleshwar. No duplicates. No confusion. A single flagship institution established to provide consistency, credibility and quality on the first day.

The school is being opened on pre-primary and primary grades up to Grade 5. Growth is already mapped out. Another grade shall be introduced each academic year, which will enable the institution to grow without lowering the academic rigour or standards of infrastructure.

Technology Meets Intention-driven Learning.

The concept of Podar International School, Bharuch, is based on the following idea. Innovation comes second with strong fundamentals. Technology has been incorporated in the curriculum as a learning tool and not a distractor. The use of smart classrooms, digital material, and systematic innovation-driven thought is incorporated into everyday education.

This method is just a part of a larger change in Indian education where rote learning is gradually being replaced by application, inquisitiveness and problem solving. The model developed by Podar aims at ensuring that the students remain competitive not only in exams, but also in life after the classroom.

Short lessons. Clear outcomes. Real-world relevance. That is the operating system in this case.

The Speech of Leadership: The Experience-based Confidence.

The intent, as was put by the Chief Marketing Officer of Podar Education Network, Mr Vishal Shah, on the launch. It is not a pilot project of the Bharuch school. It has almost ten decades of academic practice and an established presence in Gujarat.

He emphasised the academic accomplishments of Podar, the innovative approach to teaching, and the devotion to quality education as the key to this growth. The contribution of the state and local administration to the successful implementation of the project was also given a nod of gratitude, and it was a reminder that a large-scale education project can only be successful once supported by the masses.

Parents would be promised a whole ecosystem. A cutting-edge curriculum. World-class technology. Robust infrastructure. And most of all, a faculty of trained and experienced teachers who understand how to convert potential into performance.

A Tradition That Is Pre-Independent.

Podar Education Network is not a new brand in education. The organisation was established in 1927 by Sheth Anandilal Podar and has taken more than 98 years to create the Indian classrooms. Its ideals are unashamedly Indian. Honesty. Integrity. Service. Such are not marketing slogans. They are principles of operation.

It also has a history with a capital H. Mahatma Gandhi was the first President of the Anandilal Podar Trust. Such a connection is no empty symbolism. It is an indication of strong patriotism in nation-building by way of education.

The Podar International School Bharuch is the bearer of the legacy, which is modified to fit a generation that thinks digital, global and fast.

The Scale Behind the Name

Now, Podar Education Network works on a scale that is difficult to match and is consistent.

Direct management of 150 Podar International Schools.

123 Podar Partner Schools
Over 2,50,000 students across India
Backed by over 8,000 employees.

This scale matters. It enables Podar International School Bharuch to access centralised academic planning, teacher training structures, and curriculum innovation and be responsive at the local level.

This will be in the form of predictability to parents. Systems are tested. Processes are refined. Outcomes are measured.

Why Bharuch, and Why Now

Bharuch has a strategic location as it lies at a point of intersection of industry, growth of infrastructure and population growth. These are families which are aspirational and upwardly mobile, and also becoming education-conscious. The demand is clear. The schools that integrate educational discipline with skills they prepare one with to build a future are no longer luxurious. They are expected.

Podar International School Bharuch comes into this field with a blank slate and a bright prospect. No overcrowding. No legacy inefficiencies. Only a campus made specifically to expand with its students.

Admissions Now Open for 2026–27

The Academic Year 202627 is now accepting admissions. The admission office of the parents is located at Shop No. 56, Shyam Villa Complex, Nagori Dairy, opposite The Croma Acropolis, Bharuch Dahej Bypass Road.

Sai University Vice Chancellor Speaks at BRICS Business Forum During AI Journey 2025, Moscow

Desk News — Sat, 13 Dec 2025 22:30:19 +0530

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], December 13: Sai University is proud to announce that its Vice–Chancellor, Prof. Dr Ajith Abraham, delivered a keynote address at the prominent BRICS Business Forum held on 20 November 2025 at Sberbank HQ, Moscow, as part of the global AI conference, AI Journey 2025.

The BRICS Business Forum gathered distinguished leaders from industry, academia, government, and civil society from across BRICS and partner nations. The session was chaired by Alexander Vedyakhin (First Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board, Sberbank), whose stewardship lent depth and strategic perspective to the discussion.

In his address, Prof. Abraham painted a compelling vision of artificial intelligence as a shared global ecosystem — not merely a technological tool, but a domain requiring coordinated scientific cooperation, ethical frameworks, and inclusive innovation. He argued that BRICS nations, which together represent a substantial segment of the global population and a growing share of worldwide R&D, are uniquely positioned to lead this cooperative effort.

Key themes of his address included:

The strategic value of cross-national AI research hubs and shared laboratories, enabling scientists from São Paulo, Shanghai, Pretoria, Moscow, New Delhi, and beyond to collaborate on AI solutions.
Talent mobility and unified research programmes — advocating for researcher exchanges, joint doctoral and postdoctoral initiatives, and continuous lifelong learning, ensuring that AI talent and knowledge flow across borders.

Education reform and industry-academia integration — stressing the need for modern academic structures and micro-credentialing in specialised AI domains, so the next generation of professionals are ready for real-world challenges.

Potential impact of collaborative AI on critical sectors: digital healthcare, agriculture automation, sustainable manufacturing, financial inclusion, regulatory compliance, and more — helping BRICS nations address socio-economic challenges while leapfrogging traditional development constraints.

Prof. Abraham concluded with a call for equitable, human-centered AI development: AI should serve as a force for global good — combining technological excellence with societal responsibility.

This important participation underscores Sai University’s commitment to shaping global AI discourse and fostering collaborative research and innovation across borders. It also strengthens the University’s position as a thought leader in AI, aligned with India’s vision of inclusive, sustainable, and globally competitive scientific development.

Ms Dhoni Inspires The Youth of Parul University At Its Mission Possible 2025, Telling The Nation, “Yahan Possible Hai”

Desk News — Sat, 13 Dec 2025 13:00:14 +0530

Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], December 13: Parul University takes the lead as Captain Cool arrives on its campus for “Mission Possible 2025”. Marking the most defining moment in its history, the university welcomed India’s most celebrated cricket icon, M.S. Dhoni, making a nation-wide statement, “Yahan Possible Hai”. The evening celebrated the ambition, determination and the power of the students with the legend who embodies these very qualities as he engaged in a dynamic conversation with Maniesh Paul on the stage of Mission Possible 2025.

M.S. Dhoni, the cricketing legend and the name behind India’s iconic victories, has inspired generations, making the youth believe that no challenge is too tough to conquer and that with great grit and determination, anything is possible. During his interaction with the students, he shared, “Motivation is a very individualistic thing and as an individual you have to find what motivates you,” which encouraged the students to tap into their full potential and to attain what seems difficult to achieve. He also advised the students to “treat every day as very special.” He said, “The fact that motivates you can be different for you, different for me. You get very few opportunities to represent your country. You don’t know how long you have that opportunity, so dedication is important. And you have to treat every day as very special.”

He further added, “Frame of mind matters a lot. To be in a positive frame of mind is very important. We don’t know what will be thrown at us. It is important to be able to give the right answer to the question. Be honest, be calm and be well prepared. Confidence comes with preparation.”

Spreading his unmatchable charm and energy, Maniesh Paul further elevated the spirit of the evening through his candid conversation with M.S. Dhoni on stage. Uplifting the mood even more, Kiku Sharda lit up the stage by delivering an exclusive act by bringing his much-loved iconic characters to life. Their performances brought an extra spark to the night, filling the environment with waves of laughter and good vibes.

Another major highlight of the event was that the bright students and great achievers were felicitated by the legend himself. Dhoni awarded the students who have been commissioned by the Indian Armed Forces. Students of PU Animesh Narayan, Yuvraj Singh, and Sujal Tiwari have been selected to serve as officers in the Indian Navy. The university’s Armed Forces Motivational Cell played a vital role in preparing them for their selection process and appointment. Students securing top placements at leading global and national companies with marquee offers were also recognised and awarded. 2 students placed at Microsoft, 6 students placed at Hashedin by Deloitte, 33 students placed at Hexaware, 83 students placed at LT Mind Tree, and students placed at British Petroleum, Goldman Sachs and Capgemini, were acknowledged for their accomplishment. The outstanding milestones achieved reflect the university’s commitment to providing its students with the best and making their every Mission Possible. In recognition of their stellar academic achievements, top performing students, including students with high placement packages and those inducted in the Indian Armed Forces, were felicited by M.S. Dhoni, who serves as the icon of possibility and greater achievements.

Speaking about the event and the campaign “Yahan Possible Hai”, Dr. Devanshu Patel, President, Parul University, said, “Mission Possible is built on a simple belief that our students are capable of much more than they think. We, as a university, consider it our responsibility to provide them with the opportunities, the exposure, and the inspiration that will open this potential. The presence of such a star as MS Dhoni in our midst not only inspires but also transforms their perception of what they are capable of. It reminds them that all their big dreams are achievable, since “Yahan Possible Hai”.

The successful conclusion of the landmark event added to the growing legacy of Parul University. The majestic presence of the legendary M.S. Dhoni and the great achievements of the students have strengthened Parul University’s commitment to developing leaders who rise above limits. The university continues to form a solid foundation and soar, “Yahan Possible Hai” for everyone who constantly aims to grow and believes in making their “Mission Possible”.

Jai Hind College Hosts Global Dialogue on India’s Role in a Multipolar World

Desk News — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 23:30:39 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 12: Jai Hind College, Mumbai, in collaboration with the Indian Council of World Affairs, Chanakya Policy & Research Foundation and the National Maritime Foundation, inaugurated a high-level three-day International Conference titled “India in Multipolar World Order.” Led by Principal Dr. Vijay Dabholkar and Convener Dr. Archana Mishra (Vice Principal, Arts), the conference brought together diplomats, defence leaders, scholars and industry experts to assess India’s strategic trajectory in an increasingly complex global environment.

Opening the conference, Prof. Ravindra Kulkarni, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Mumbai, invoked the ancient ethos of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam — the world as one family. He emphasised that rapid technological advancements and real-time communication are accelerating the global transition toward a multipolar order.

Representing international cooperation, Ms. Avishag Hefer, Deputy Consul General of Israel, highlighted Israel’s longstanding partnership with India, particularly in agriculture and innovation, and noted India’s expanding soft-power projection worldwide.

Delivering the keynote address, Lt. General Vinod Khandare (Retd.), former Principal Advisor, Ministry of Defence, called for revisiting classical strategic thinkers and India’s own civilizational wisdom to navigate contemporary geopolitical flux and shifting power dynamics.

A session on strategic autonomy featured Dr. Sreeram Chaulia of the Jindal School of International Studies, who described India’s foreign policy as “pragmatic multipolarity,” enabling robust ties with Russia, Japan, France and others even amid intensifying global rivalries.

From an industry lens, Mr. Kashish Parpiani of Reliance Industries Ltd. argued that the world economy is undergoing “re-globalisation,” with economic networks shifting rather than shrinking.

Regional security and India–China dynamics formed another major highlight. Mr. R.N. Bhaskar presented the Russia–India–China (RIC) triangle as a complementary strategic structure — India as a large market, China as a technology-and-capital provider, and Russia as a key resource partner.

Dr. Rajiv Ranjan contrasted China’s relational diplomatic approach, rooted in Qin Yaqing’s theory, with India’s mandala-inspired geopolitical tradition, suggesting India’s framework more effectively safeguards national interest. Scholars also underlined persistent tensions — border disputes, maritime competition and strategic mistrust — that continue to impede meaningful cooperation between India and China.

The day concluded with a vibrant cultural showcase featuring classical music and regional performances including Rajasthani folk, Garba, Lavani and South Indian dance traditions, celebrating India’s cultural diversity.

Honouring the occasion as Chief Guest, Mr. Bhushan Gagrani, IAS, Municipal Commissioner of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), praised the initiative, stating that “such platforms equip young scholars to understand fast-changing geopolitical and governance transitions.” He emphasised that multidisciplinary thinking is essential for navigating today’s unpredictable global landscape.

The CMA Revolution Begins with Miles Education

Desk News — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 23:30:10 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 12: In an era where global finance is being rewritten by data, analytics, and strategic insight, Miles Education has emerged as the institution shaping India’s next generation of financial leaders. And at the heart of this movement is the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) qualification, a credential that is redefining how young professionals step into the world of strategic finance. For thousands of ambitious students, understanding the CMA Syllabus, decoding the US CMA exam, and navigating CMA eligibility are no longer overwhelming tasks—they are guided journeys, powered by Miles’ mentorship and the globally renowned Miles U.S. Pathway.

Where the CMA Journey Truly Begins

Every student’s journey starts with curiosity—“What exactly does the CMA prepare me for?” The answer lies in the very foundation of the CMA Syllabus, structured into two transformational parts:

Part 1: Financial Planning, Performance & Analytics
Part 2: Strategic Financial Management

These aren’t just academic units. They are practical, industry-shaped subjects that prepare candidates to think like business strategists. The US CMA Syllabus is comprehensive yet sharply focused, equipping learners with the analytical skills MNCs and GCCs demand today. Whether a candidate comes from CMA foundation or CMA inter backgrounds or enters from a B.Com/BBA route, the syllabus elevates them to a global standard in strategic management accounting.

Understanding the CMA Exam—A Test Built for Real Strategy

The CMA exam is conducted in three flexible testing windows—January–February, May–June, and September–October. Each window is a launchpad, enabling candidates to take Part 1 or Part 2 strategically. With disciplined preparation, aspirants often complete the entire CMA exam journey in just 8 months.

And this exam structure itself is uniquely designed:

3 hours of MCQs
1 hour of essay-based problem-solving

Candidates must answer at least half of the MCQs correctly to unlock the essays—a format that rewards clarity, not memorization.

Even the CMA results follow a predictable cycle—released roughly 6 weeks after the exam window closes—allowing students to plan their next attempt or job transition with certainty.

CMA Eligibility—Opening Doors, Not Closing Them

One of the reasons CMA has captured India’s imagination is its accessibility. The CMA eligibility requirements are straightforward:

A bachelor’s degree in any discipline
Two years of relevant experience (can be completed after the exam)
Active IMA membership

This combination keeps the pathway open for undergraduate students, working professionals, and career shifters—making CMA one of the most democratic gateways to global financial roles.

The Investment That Multiplies—CMA Exam Fees

For many families, the question is simple: “Is the investment worth it?”
The CMA Exam Fees include IMA membership, exam entrance fees, and the cost of each exam part. But the returns—high-paying roles in FP&A, business analytics, corporate finance, and controllership functions—far outweigh the investment. Candidates often earn multiples of the initial cost within their first two years of employment.

Why Miles Is the No. 1 CMA Institute in India

Miles Education isn’t an exam-prep institute—it is a movement.
Its impact comes from four pillars:

70,000+ global alumni shaping strategic finance roles
600+ employer collaborations connecting learners to real opportunities
100+ university partnerships strengthening India’s academic ecosystem
1,000+ students placed in the U.S. through the celebrated Miles U.S. Pathway

The Miles learning ecosystem blends comprehensive video lectures, mock exams, simulations, Sunday live classes, one-on-one mentoring, and the gold-standard Miles Resource Kit. Most importantly, students learn from Mr. Varun Jain, CPA, CMA, Harvard B-School Alumnus and CEO of Miles Education—one of the world’s most respected CMA instructors.

His philosophy echoes through every Miles classroom:
“The CMA exam doesn’t just test what you know—it transforms how you think. When you master strategy, analytics, and financial intelligence, you don’t just gain a credential; you gain a global identity.” — Mr. Varun Jain

A New Financial Generation Is Rising

As the demand for globally competent finance leaders surges, students across India are choosing CMA not just for a job—but for a place in the world. And with the Miles U.S. Pathway, international careers are no longer dreams—they are outcomes.

CMA is more than a qualification.
It is a mindset.
A discipline.
A passport to global relevance.

And for India’s brightest minds, the journey begins with Miles Education.

THE NEW AGE FINANCE PASSPORT: Why India Is Turning to the CMA Credential

Desk News — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 13:01:14 +0530

A Nation Shifting From Bookkeeping to Boardroom Leadership

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 12: When conversations about global finance careers happen today, one name consistently rises above the noise—MILES Education. And at the center of this transformation stands the US CMA Full Form: Certified Management Accountant, a qualification that is no longer just a credential, but a strategic entry into international finance leadership. As students and young professionals search for clarity about the future, one question echoes across campuses and offices: “What is the CMA course Full Form, and why is India suddenly embracing it at scale?”

The answer lies in understanding the CMA Meaning—twice over. First, it stands for a world-renowned certification governed by the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA), USA. Second, it represents an evolving mindset: India’s finance talent is no longer satisfied with reporting history; it wants to shape the future. The Certified Management Accountant qualification gives them exactly that power.

The CMA Advantage: A Global Credential That Rewrites Careers

In an era where industries are rapidly digitizing, organizations don’t just need accountants. They need thinkers—professionals who can analyze numbers, predict trends, assess risks, and influence leadership. This is precisely where the Certified Management Accountant designation shines.

Unlike traditional accounting programs, the CMA is built for strategy makers. With more than 140,000 CMAs worldwide, the credential has become synonymous with financial intelligence and managerial insight. For Indian learners, understanding cma Meaning has become the first step toward becoming part of a global community of finance leaders.

The spark always begins with curiosity—What is CMA? How fast can one complete it? What does the journey look like?
That curiosity leads to the next step: exploring cma course details, cma syllabus, and the structured mentorship that accelerates their path.

Demystifying the CMA Journey: Simple, Streamlined, and Smart

The CMA is admired for its elegant structure. It consists of just two exam parts, each spanning:

3 hours of MCQs
1 hour of essay-based analysis

This crisp format makes the us cma curriculum highly appealing to both students and working professionals.

Aspirants typically explore the program through a cma online course, which not only adapts to their lifestyle but provides flexibility that classroom models often cannot. Those who prefer structured learning choose cma online classes, which bring expert mentors, doubt-solving, and accountability into their preparation.

The certification is governed by clear rules—one must be an IMA member, hold a bachelor’s degree, and complete two years of relevant experience. But what truly draws aspirants is the speed: the program is compact, the roadmap is clear, and the rewards are vast.

The CMA Overview: A Qualification That Shapes Thinkers, Not Just Employees

When exploring Certified Management Accountant course options, one realizes how deeply the program focuses on shaping strategic mindsets.
The CMA equips learners with:

Financial planning mastery
Performance analytics
Budgeting and forecasting logic
Decision analysis
Risk evaluation
Strategic financial management
Ethical leadership preparation

These are not just subjects—they are the competencies companies expect from global leaders.

The cma Certification is respected across Big 4s, Fortune 500s, and rapidly scaling startups. It is not a job-seeking certificate; it is a leadership-building qualification.

For many, the journey begins by comparing cma course fees, understanding cma course duration, and reviewing us cma course details. But by the time they complete the program, these initial questions seem small compared to the transformation they undergo.

Why Miles Education Is India’s No.1 CMA Institute

At the center of India’s CMA revolution is one institution that changed the country’s finance education landscape: Miles Education.

And at the center of Miles stands a man whose teaching style, clarity, and energy have become legendary—Mr. Varun Jain, CEO, Miles Education.

He is widely regarded as the world’s favourite instructor for the Certified Management Accountant community. His contribution is so profound that many students describe him as the spark that ignites their career momentum.

“The CMA is not just a certification. It is a mindset shift. It empowers you to think, decide, lead, and influence the financial future of organizations globally.” — Mr. Varun Jain

This spirit powers the Miles U.S. Pathway, a uniquely structured roadmap that combines expert mentorship, India’s strongest CMA community, platinum partnership with IMA, and lifelong learning.

Miles Education and the CMA Edge: India’s Smartest Route to Global Finance Leadership

Desk News — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 13:00:53 +0530

An action-driven journey that turns ambitious commerce minds into strategic decision-makers.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 12: In living rooms, college canteens, and Zoom counselling calls across India, one name keeps surfacing when families talk about serious finance careers: Miles Education. And one qualification keeps matching that ambition: the CMA in its full form – Certified Management Accountant – a credential that blends global recognition with practical, boardroom-level relevance.

Naturally, the first doubt is simple: What is CMA course and is it really worth reshaping an entire academic plan around it? At its heart, the certified management accountant course is a tightly structured, globally respected learning journey that trains students to read numbers like a language of strategy. When parents dig into the CMA course details with Miles counsellors, they quickly realise this is not a vague promise but a clear roadmap from campus to corporate leadership.

For students, the real confidence comes when the US CMA course details line up with their dreams and timelines. The CMA course duration is typically 8–12 months, split into just two exam parts, which means focus, not fatigue. Each part is built around CMA subjects that mirror real boardroom decisions – from budgeting and performance management to risk, analytics, and strategy. Add transparent CMA course fees that families can plan for upfront, and the certified management accountant course stops feeling intimidating and starts feeling achievable.

Look closer at the CMA syllabus and you see why industry leaders value this qualification. Part 1 leans into operational excellence – planning, costing, performance, controls – while Part 2 builds strategic muscle through advanced analysis, risk management, and investment decisions. Together, these cma subjects give students the confidence to speak the language of both spreadsheets and strategy in any meeting. For parents who want substance, not slogans, the cma course details clearly show how every topic connects back to decisions real managers take every single day.

So, What is CMA course from a career perspective, not just an exam angle? Simply put, it is a fast-track bridge between where you are today and where global finance is headed. Because the CMA course duration is compact and focused, students do not lose momentum or years; they build depth quickly and step into roles that value analysis, forecasting, and decision-making. For working professionals, the certified management accountant course becomes a structured way to shift from routine reporting to strategic influence within 12 months.

Flexibility matters too, which is why the CMA online course from Miles has become a favourite across metros and smaller towns alike. Instead of pausing their lives, learners plug into live sessions, recordings, and doubt-solving while continuing college or work. Through this format, US CMA course details are not just explained but experienced – every concept, every case study, every mock is tied back to how global finance teams actually operate. Students see how CMA subjects come alive in dashboards, management reports, and performance reviews, not just in textbooks. For many, the CMA online course becomes the first-time learning feels this practical, this global, and this closely aligned to the roles they dream about.

For many families, the decision finally comes down to value: What is CMA course giving my child that justifies the time, energy, and money? With Miles U.S. Pathway, the answer is clear – a step-by-step bridge from Indian classrooms to global finance teams, designed so that every assessment, every concept, every doubt-clearance session moves students closer to real responsibility. Because CMA course fees are framed as an investment into global readiness, not just another bill, parents see how quickly the qualification can start paying them back in opportunities and confidence. It is one of the reasons industry insiders keep repeating why MILES is No1 CMA Institute In India when it comes to management accounting careers.

At the heart of this movement is Mr. Varun Jain, CEO of Miles Education, CPA, CMA and Harvard Business School alumnus. He often tells his learners,

“You are not just preparing for an exam; you are rehearsing for the decisions you will take as future finance leaders. If you show up with discipline, we will show up with everything else – structure, mentors, global exposure, and a community that refuses to let you give up.”

For students and parents looking for a qualification that is fast, focused, and future-proof, this might be the moment to stop merely searching and start applying.

The Journey That Builds Chartered Accountants Before the Exam Results Arrive

Desk News — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 13:00:45 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 12: For many students, the decision to pursue Chartered Accountancy is not just a career plan—it is a calling. It begins long before exam halls and result announcements. It begins the moment a learner chooses where to prepare, who to learn from, and what environment can sustain that ambition. Among the best bcom with CA colleges in Bangalore, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), School of Commerce, has become that starting point for students who want more than a degree—they want direction.

Parents exploring the top bcom with CA colleges in Bangalore often speak about a common fear: whether their child will be able to handle the intensity of CA preparation while completing a Bachelor of Commerce. At JAIN, that concern transforms into confidence, not because the journey becomes easier, but because students are never walking it alone.

A Professional Pathway Built with Intention

The bcom with ca Program at JAIN is not designed as an additional workload—it is designed as an aligned pathway, where university education and professional preparation move together instead of competing for space. Structured under the Bachelor of Commerce (Honours / Honours with Research) (for Professional Courses), the model prepares learners to think, plan, and progress like future Chartered Accountants from their very first semester.

This is also where the advantage of choosing a bcom hons with ca becomes evident. The academic foundation is not generic; it is focused, intentional, and built for students who need clarity in both knowledge and preparation strategy.

The Strength of the Right Partnership

One of the most defining aspects of the Program is its exclusive CA coaching delivered by Yeshas Academy—an institution known for consistency, precision, and outcomes. Students benefit from:

Result-oriented mentoring
Structured study plans
Mock assessments and revision cycles
Guidance from trained experts

This collaboration is one of the reasons JAIN continues to stand among the most trusted bcom with ca colleges in Bangalore, and increasingly recognized among the top bcom with ca colleges in India for integrated professional readiness.

Learning That Reflects the Real CA Journey

While many universities offer foundational courses, JAIN designs learning around the actual progression of bcom ca subjects, allowing students to build competency step by step. Continuous evaluations, case-based discussions, and personalized academic tracking ensure that no learner feels left behind.

For students shortlisting colleges in Bangalore for bcom with ca, the ability to balance university commitments with CA preparation becomes a decisive factor—and this is precisely where JAIN’s seamless academic alignment stands out.

A Program That Builds Capability, Not Pressure

The structure includes:

Core commerce subjects in accounting, taxation, business law, economics, and auditing
Integrated Certified Program in General Management
Exposure to decision-making, leadership, and organizational understanding

These elements reinforce why JAIN remains among the best bcom with ca colleges in Bangalore, offering more than theoretical learning. The Program reflects a journey where students grow into disciplined professionals rather than overwhelmed learners. It also gives them a rare advantage through an academic model similar to a bcom integrated with ca in Bangalore, without compromising on university learning experiences.

Beyond Exams—A Future-Ready Outlook

While exam results are important, JAIN prepares students for what comes after:

Articleship readiness
Professional communication
Analytical decision-making
Ethical and industry-aligned thinking

These are the outcomes that place the University among the top bcom with ca colleges in Bangalore, especially for students who want a career—not just a qualification. The emphasis on mentorship, exposure, and guided reflection also strengthens understanding of bcom ca subjects, ensuring students progress with confidence rather than uncertainty.

For many families evaluating colleges in Bangalore for bcom with ca, what often seals the decision is not infrastructure or rankings alone, but the reassurance that their child will be supported through every phase of the journey.

Leadership Speaks

Dr. M Neelima, Deputy Director (In-charge), School of Commerce, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), shares:

“The right beginning defines the pace of a student’s future. Our Bachelor of Commerce with CA pathway is built on the belief that professional preparation should not wait for graduation—it should begin the moment a learner chooses to pursue it. This philosophy continues to strengthen our position among the top bcom with ca colleges in India.”

Mr. Mackey Agarwal, Head, Admissions & Marketing, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) and JAIN College, adds:

“Students today want a structured route, not scattered effort. The bcom with ca pathway at JAIN provides clarity, balance, and consistency, making it a preferred choice for commerce aspirants.”

For students who believe that becoming a Chartered Accountant begins long before the results are declared, JAIN offers a journey where discipline turns into confidence, and ambition begins to take shape—placing it among the top bcom with ca colleges in Bangalore and reinforcing its reputation for a seamless bcom integrated with ca in Bangalore experience.

Innovation at its best at St. Anne’s School, Sehore

Desk News — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 14:30:36 +0530

Sehore (Maharashtra) [India], December 10: The vibrant campus of St. Anne’s Senior Secondary School, Sehore, Madhya Pradesh, was transformed into a high-energy arena as it proudly hosted the prestigious DaVinci SoccerBot Championship 2025, a pioneering interschool robotics soccer tournament that united students from across Sehore in a celebration of creativity, technology, and teamwork.

The championship was not just a competition, it was a showcase of ingenuity, where soccer-playing robots, engineered and programmed by students, battled in fast-paced matches that blended athletic excitement with technical prowess. For the past three years, students at St. Anne’s have been immersed in the ISR STEAM Experiential Learning sessions, aligned to the NEP2020, integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics through hands-on projects and real-world problem solving. This foundation empowered participants to think like inventors and build like engineers.

The tournament drew enthusiastic participation from leading schools across Sehore, including Blue Bird High School, St. Mary’s Residential H.S. School, and Lourde Mata Convent School, among others. The event was inaugurated by Shri Prince Rathore, President Nagar Palika, Sehore, and Shri Sanjay Singh Tomar, District Education Officer, Sehore, and was graced by several distinguished personalities and principals of various schools who came to encourage and celebrate the young innovators.

“Every time I come to St. Anne’s School, I get to see and experience new innovations by the students. This time I see that students have innovated and brought soccer, which we thought was an outdoor game, indoors with the use of technology such as AI & Robotics. I congratulate the students and wish them success for the future,” said Shri Prince Rathore, President, Nagar Palika.

“I have witnessed such innovation by students for the first time. It is really good and I would like these students to take part in such competitions at the events organized by the Government as well” said Shri Sanjay Singh Tomar, District Education Officer.

Preparations for the championship began in September 2025, with numerous schools registering and students participating in a series of immersive workshops led by STEAM experts from International STEAM Research (ISR). These sessions equipped students with skills in robot building, coding, branding, and logo design. Each team created its own identity, designing unique logos and names, which added spirit and pride to their participation.

Spanning two days, 5th and 6th December, the championship saw fiercely competed matches as teams vied for a spot in the semifinals. After intense rounds, four teams advanced to the finals, demonstrating exceptional technical skill and teamwork. Ultimately, team ‘The Code Commanders’ from St. Mary’s Residential Higher Secondary School emerged victorious, earning the honour of being crowned champions. Team ‘Thunder Bolts’ from Lourde Mata Convent Senior Secondary School finished as runner-up.

“We are proud to have hosted the DaVinci SoccerBot Championship 2025 in our school, as it has inspired the next generation of innovators of Sehore,” said Sr. Alka Dabhi, Principal of St. Anne’s Senior Secondary School. The event was a testament to the school’s commitment to holistic education, seamlessly integrating academic rigour with experiential learning to prepare students for a rapidly evolving world.

“The true success of the championship lies in the development of essential skills such as collaboration, problem solving, communication, digital literacy, critical thinking and creativity. ISR’s unique experiential labs, known as ‘AI STEAM Lab’ encourage invention literacy and bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and practical application” said Ms Farhat Jabin, Senior Manager, International STEAM Research (ISR).

“Robotics competitions like the DaVinci SoccerBot Championship cultivate tech fluency, computational thinking and resilience, qualities essential for navigating emerging digital frontiers. Through hands-on activities, students learn mechanical engineering, electronics engineering, coding, design thinking, and strategic planning, fostering creativity and entrepreneurial temperaments” said Dr. George Panicker, Founder & CEO, International STEAM Research (ISR).

“ISR’s vision centres on inclusivity and affordability, ensuring that schools across urban and rural India benefit from educational advancements without barriers. ISR’s mission extends beyond competitions, cultivating lifelong learners and mindful problem-solvers, aligning with India’s National Education Policy (NEP-2020) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By integrating futuristic technologies and experiential heutagogy, ISR ensures students are prepared not just for exams, but for life” added Dr. Panicker.

ISR, through its AI STEAM Lab experiential learning sessions in schools and innovation competitions for students, continue to set new benchmarks in experiential education, fuelling the aspirations of thousands of young innovators each year. As technology accelerates, such platforms become vital springboards for future leaders and inventors.

By championing hands-on AI-powered STEAM experiential learning, ISR is ensuring that the next generation is primed not just to follow technological progress but to shape it.

The Price of Global Success: Why India Trusts MILES Education When Investing in the CPA Dream

Desk News — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 14:30:26 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 10: When Indian professionals evaluate the future of finance, one qualification repeatedly stands at the epicentre of global relevance—the CPA (Certified Public Accountant). And in this growing movement, MILES Education has emerged as the most trusted gateway, shaping ambition with clarity, structure, and transparency. As thousands step into this international credential, the question is no longer “Should I pursue the CPA?” but rather “What does it take, financially, to reach the top—and who can guide me responsibly?”

Understanding CPA Fees in India is not merely about calculating expenses. It is about understanding value, strategy, and the long-term return that a global credential yields. For India’s finance talent, this journey begins with knowing the full spectrum—from training to evaluation, from exam registration to licensing.

Across institutions, the range varies. But candidates consistently return to one name for reliability, mentorship, and transparency: MILES Education, widely acknowledged as the No.1 CPA Institute in India. And a major reason for this trust is how Miles breaks down the numbers with honesty while delivering unmatched outcomes.

Unlike traditional training programs, Miles does not view CPA Course Fees as a transactional cost. Under the guidance of Mr. Varun Jain, often regarded as India’s most influential CPA mentor, the institute positions fees as an investment—one that begins paying back within months of employment. His belief is simple yet profound: “If we can help students build competence, confidence, and global mobility, the return on investment will always outrun the fees.”

Today, thousands of alumni echo this sentiment as they shape careers across Big 4 firms, multinational finance teams, and U.S.-based operations.

Still, transparency matters. And this is where fee clarity becomes vital.

The overall structure of CPA Fees in India is divided across three areas:

Training, materials, and support
Evaluation and application payments
Exam registration and licensing payments

This is where the Miles U.S. Pathway stands out. It simplifies eligibility, streamlines documentation, and guides candidates through the financial planning required for international certification. The pathway ensures that students know exactly what they will spend, when they will spend it, and how each stage contributes to final licensure.

The institute’s clarity on the US CPA Course Fees structure has made it the most referenced guide in the Indian CPA ecosystem. Students especially appreciate that Miles Education cpa fees include not only exam preparation but a powerful arsenal—masterclasses, Hollywood-style videos, mock exams, simulations, mentoring, and placement support in India and the U.S. Few institutes worldwide offer this level of integration.

Equally important is understanding the granular breakdown of the CPA Exam Cost, which includes evaluation fees, application fees, exam section fees, and international testing charges. Candidates must also factor in the transition from exam completion to licensing—where renewal costs and CPE credits come into play. With Miles’ structured roadmap, these numbers no longer feel intimidating; they feel manageable.

For those looking into CPA Admission, the process can appear complex—especially when state-specific requirements differ. Academic evaluation, credit recognition, and transcript verification demand accuracy. This is precisely why students lean on Miles. The institute provides end-to-end handling, ensuring that CPA Admission never becomes a barrier to career dreams.

When comparing institutions, students frequently assess whether the US CPA course fees in India are justified by outcomes. And this is where Miles’ numbers speak louder than promotions:

80%+ of India’s CPAs are Miles alumni
70,000+ global learners
100+ university partnerships
600+ employer collaborations
1,000+ students placed in the U.S.

These aren’t statistics—they are proof of a system built on precision, mentorship, and global mobility.

Beyond the finances, the real differentiator is Mr. Varun Jain himself. His mastery of the subject, his ability to decode complex concepts, and his unmatched clarity in teaching have turned him into a phenomenon among CPA aspirants. Students often describe him as the spark that turns uncertainty into ambition. His dedication ensures that Miles Education CPA fees are experienced not as a cost, but as a career-defining investment.

Speaking about Miles’ philosophy, Mr. Varun Jain, CEO of Miles Education, says:

“At Miles, every learner is preparing not just for an exam, but for a global career. Our mission is to simplify the complex, amplify confidence, and ensure that every rupee invested delivers lifelong returns. When students succeed, India succeeds — and that is the impact we are committed to creating.”

As India steps into an era of global finance, the willingness to invest in international credentials reflects a generation ready for leadership. And when the goal is global mobility, premium salaries, and cross-border opportunities, CPA Fees in India become more than justified—they become a strategic stepping stone.

The nation’s CPA movement is growing, and at its centre stands a partner who knows the journey better than anyone: MILES Education, shaping careers, elevating standards, and proving that the right investment can change everything.

Schools Don’t Need More Data — They Need Better Decisions

Desk News — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 01:30:11 +0530

New Delhi [India], December 9: Walk into any modern school today and you will see a maze of tools everywhere—ERPs, spreadsheets, Google Forms, WhatsApp groups, attendance apps, academic trackers, fee software, and more. Every department has its own system, every staff member maintains their own set of records, and every process creates information.

In other words, the modern school does not suffer from a lack of data.
It suffers from a lack of clarity.

And this is exactly why school leaders often find themselves saying, “We didn’t know this student was in trouble until the results came.”

Despite abundant data, decision-makers remain blind to what matters most.

1. The Leadership Blind Spot Problem

Schools today are overflowing with digital tools:

ERPs for student and fee records
Spreadsheets for academic analysis
WhatsApp for communication
Registers for discipline and homework
Emails for reporting

Individually, these systems do their job.
Together, they create fragmented intelligence.

The result?

a) Scattered data

Attendance is in one place, marks in another, fee status elsewhere. Leadership needs multiple tools just to understand a single student.

b) Delayed insights

Reports arrive only when exams end, fees are overdue, or attendance becomes a visible problem.

c) Reactive decision-making

Intervention often happens after the damage has already occurred.

School leadership, therefore, ends up looking in the rear-view mirror rather than the windshield.

2. Why Traditional ERPs Can’t Close This Gap

ERPs were never designed to make academic or leadership decisions. They were designed to store, process, and record data like admissions, marks, fees, and compliance reports.

What they cannot do is:

Detect patterns in student performance
Identify students silently slipping
Highlight class-level or subject-level trends
Provide real-time warnings
Generate leadership-ready insights
Summarize school health daily

This is not a failure of ERPs.
It is simply beyond their intended purpose.

Schools today need an intelligence layer on top of the ERP—something that reads the data, connects the dots, and guides decisions.

3. The Role of AI: Practical, Not Hype

AI is often associated with futuristic, complicated technology. But in schools, its value is simple: turning scattered data into clear insights.

An AI-driven “school brain” can:

Summarize dozens of reports into a daily briefing
Highlight dips in attendance or academics
Identify at-risk students before the finals
Detect unusual patterns (like sudden absentee spikes)
Guide principals on which classes need attention each week

AI does not replace a principal or director.
It amplifies their decision-making.

4. How ClassFlux Bridges the Gap

ClassFlux was built specifically for schools that already have data systems but lack intelligence and integration.

It acts as an AI-powered school intelligence layer that:

Connects to existing ERPs and tools
Brings academic, attendance, fee, and behavior data together
Converts everything into real-time dashboards
Generates AI-based summaries, alerts, and insights

For leadership, this means:

One dashboard for school health
Daily summaries with actionable insights
Early identification of weak students
Multi-branch oversight for school groups

ClassFlux is not “another ERP.”
It is the missing intelligence layer that helps leaders make better decisions.

5. The Human Impact: Schools Become More Supportive

When leadership gets real-time clarity, everyone benefits:

Teachers spend less time reporting and more time teaching
Students receive early help instead of late judgment
Parents experience proactive communication
Administrators stop firefighting and start planning

Better decisions at the top lead to better learning at the bottom.

6. The Future: Insight-Driven Schools

In the coming years, schools will fall into two categories:

Schools that have data but operate on guesswork
Schools that combine data + AI for proactive, precise decisions

The second group will:

Intervene earlier
Improve outcomes consistently
Build stronger trust with parents
Attract and retain better teacher

Because the future of education will not be defined by how much data a school collects—
but by how intelligently it uses it.

CLAT 2026: What to Expect & How to Stay Prepared in the Final Days by LegalEdge

Desk News — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 22:30:26 +0530

New Delhi [India], December 5: After the roller coaster that was CLAT 2025, it’s natural for aspirants to approach CLAT 2026 with a mix of hope, anxiety, and apprehension. CLAT 2025 was far from smooth. What should have been a routine competitive exam cycle turned into a never-ending litigation, with back-and-forth between the Supreme Court and various High Courts: countless petitions, revised results, and egregious errors by the courts. CLAT 2025 is remembered for all the wrong reasons.

So the million-dollar question is: Will CLAT 2026 be the same?

Hopefully not — though the signs haven’t been very comforting.

The admit card notification mentioned the wrong year.

The sample paper was released 10 days before the exam.

These slip-ups have raised eyebrows, but this is also the moment for aspirants to rise above the noise. With just a few days left, the smartest thing you can do is focus on your preparation, not the chaos.

Your Mindset Will Matter More Than Anything Else

In the last 4 days, the biggest enemy is not the paper — it’s your own ‘what ifs’:

What if I mess up?
What if the paper is too tough?
What if something goes wrong?
What if I don’t clear?

Shift the narrative. Each time you think of a reason, you will not. Think of one reason why you will.

Utilize the time to revise, go through the previous year CLAT Exam Analysis and trust all the effort you have put into preparing for the D Day.

Stick to Your Sequence

Do not change your strategy or your attempt order now.

You’ve spent months getting comfortable with a specific flow — don’t disrupt it in the final lap. Stability beats experimentation at this stage.

If You Come Across Anything New…

Especially in GK — Read it, add it to your repository, and revise it once. But avoid spending too much time on anything new. Focus on all that you have already studied. Remember, revision is the Key.

Maximize Attempts on D-Day

CLAT rewards smart, high-attempt strategies. If your number of attempts drops too low, you’re likely out of the race. If the paper is similar to the last 2–3 years, aim to attempt at least 110 questions; if it is slightly tougher, target around 100. Remember, attempts matter — accuracy alone won’t be enough.

3 Mistakes You MUST Avoid at All Costs

1. Taking things to extremes

“I’ll chill for the next 3 days”
“I’ll study 16 hours a day for 3 days”
Both approaches are counterproductive.
Balance wins.

2. FOMO-driven over-prep

Avoid:

Solving mocks from 10 different coaching institutes
Reading every compendium that exists
Watching endless marathon videos

This will only increase panic, not performance.

3. Trying to predict CLAT’s difficulty

Don’t waste mental energy on guessing:

Will it be tough? Will it be easy? Will it be quirky?

Nobody knows — not faculty, not toppers, not even the internet.

Go in with a clear mind and adaptability.

Final Word

CLAT is unpredictable — but your preparation doesn’t have to be.

Stay steady, revise smart, maximize attempts, and avoid last-minute chaos.

All the Best from LegalEdge by Toprankers. You have got this

Vidyasvam’s Approach to Samskrita: Blending Traditional Grammar With Contemporary Pedagogy

Desk News — Thu, 04 Dec 2025 13:00:23 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 4: Learning Samskrita has always been a meaningful pursuit, yet many learners feel intimidated when they encounter rigid methods, dense rules, or traditional explanations that rely heavily on memorization. Today’s learners, especially working professionals and students, need clarity and structure. They prefer an approach that is systematic, easy to follow, and rooted in understanding rather than rote learning. Vidyasvam bridges this need by bringing together the depth of traditional Samskrita grammar and a learning environment designed for modern minds.

At Vidyasvam, the focus is not only on preserving the classical richness of the language but also on making it accessible and enjoyable. The program invites learners to understand why the language works the way it does, how grammar holds everything together, and how classical texts can be approached with confidence. This blend of tradition and modernity forms the core of Vidyasvam’s teaching philosophy.

Understanding the Core: Traditional Grammar Principles

Paninian grammar is central to Vidyasvam’s teaching. It is recognized as one of the most structured linguistic systems and offers a clear framework for understanding Samskrita. Instead of learning scattered rules, students are introduced to the foundational concepts that shape the entire language. They learn how words get their structure from their canonical roots, how the forms of words that express entities and actions transform, and how meaning is conveyed through grammatical relationships. The course begins by strengthening the basics—varṇa, pratyaya, prakṛti, sandhi, kāraka theory, and word formation. These concepts help learners see the underlying structure behind every sentence. By explaining the logic behind each rule, the program removes the confusion that many learners experience when trying to decode Samskrita through memorization alone. This foundation becomes essential when students later begin reading verses and texts.

A Modern Classroom for an Ancient Language

Even though the content is deeply traditional, the learning experience is built with modern tools. Vidyasvam uses concise presentations, clear diagrams, mind maps, and structured worksheets and custom-built software tools to explain the grammar. These visuals help learners grasp ideas that would otherwise take much longer to understand through text alone. For online learners, recordings of each session are available. This helps them revise the material at their own pace, revisit complex concepts, and reinforce their understanding. Regular quizzes are used to strengthen retention and ensure that learners are applying the rules rather than simply listening to them.

Discussion circles and mentoring groups also play an important role. Students share questions, work through examples, and learn from each other’s interpretations. This collaborative environment creates a practical and supportive learning space that keeps learners engaged through the program.

Application Over Memorization

One of the strongest aspects of Vidyasvam’s approach is the emphasis on applying grammar to real texts. Instead of practicing rules in isolation, students work with verses, especially from epics like Valmiki’s Ramayana and the Vyasa’s Mahabharata initially. Persistent learners may choose to progress to other classics offering aesthetic complexity — such as classics by Kalidasa, Bharavi and Harsha. This gives them hands-on experience in breaking down compound words, identifying kārakas, dissolving sandhis, and performing anvaya to understand the meaning of a shloka. This approach works especially well for learners from analytical, technical, or scientific backgrounds. They appreciate the logical flow and systematic breakdown that Paninian grammar offers. By applying grammar repeatedly in context, learners retain concepts naturally. This helps them develop the ability to work with classical texts independently, which is one of the primary goals of the course.

Designed for Modern Professionals and Students

Many learners at Vidyasvam are from fields like engineering, sciences, medicine, IT, management, and academia. They often want a structured path to understand Samskrita texts without relying fully on translations. The course format respects their time constraints while still maintaining depth. The prerequisites are simple: the ability to read Devanagari, comfort with analytical thinking, working knowledge of English, and basic computer literacy. The program moves at a pace that allows learners to absorb concepts steadily, even if they are balancing work and personal responsibilities.

The promise of independent reading is a major attraction. Learners understand from the beginning that this is not a casual course but one that gives them long-term skills. They progress from understanding basic forms to interpreting verses with confidence, supported by step-by-step guidance.

The Role of Expert Guidance

A central part of Vidyasvam’s teaching method is the clarity and experience of its facilitator, Dr. Sridhar Subbanna. His background in computer science, combined with deep study in Samskrita and Shastras, allows him to explain classical concepts with precision and simplicity. Students often mention how even complex sutras become understandable under his guidance.

His explanations use logic and structure, reflecting the natural design of the language. Learners appreciate the patience, clarity, and consistent support he provides throughout the course. This balance of expertise and approachability contributes greatly to the effectiveness of the program.

Structured Progression That Builds Confidence

The course is planned in a way that helps learners progress from the basics to text application without feeling overwhelmed. Each topic builds on the previous one, and practice exercises reinforce what has been taught. The workshop structure ensures that learners stay engaged while having enough time to internalize each concept.

As learners move through the modules, they begin to see how the pieces fit together. Shloka analysis becomes more intuitive, grammar rules start making sense, and the fear of Samskrita slowly fades. This methodical progression gives learners confidence to take up further studies or explore classical texts on their own.

Why This Blended Approach Works

Vidyasvam succeeds because it respects both tradition and the needs of today’s learners. The Paninian framework provides accuracy, depth, and intellectual strength, while modern teaching tools provide accessibility and clarity. Together, they create a balanced model that suits beginners, intermediate learners, and even those returning to Samskrita after many years. This approach helps learners move beyond rote learning and encourages genuine understanding. It becomes easier for them to appreciate the beauty of the language and the sophistication of its structure.

Conclusion

Vidyasvam’s approach to Samskrita shows how classical knowledge can be taught in a way that feels relevant and achievable today. By blending the rigor of traditional grammar with contemporary methods of instruction, the program offers a path that is both logical and inspiring. Learners who come with curiosity leave with clarity, confidence, and a strong foundation that supports further exploration of Samskrita and Indic knowledge texts.

Education Leaders Join National Advisory Board to Guide Responsible Use of AI in Education

Newsvoir Press Release — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 18:30:21 +0530

Packback will convene college presidents, provosts, and school district leaders to surface best practices, risks, and opportunities for AI in the classroom

CHICAGO, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As debates over AI’s role in education intensify, Packback—the pioneering inquiry-based discussion and writing support platform—today announced the formation of an Advisory Board that will bring together a distinguished coalition of education leaders and technology innovators to chart a responsible path forward. Guided by Packback’s Instructional AI approach, the Advisory Board will explore how educators and institutions can leverage emerging technologies to strengthen human connection and spark curiosity in the classroom.

“AI is transforming classrooms at light speed, and urging us to rethink what’s possible in teaching and learning. But the decisions about AI that we make now will shape a generation of learners, and it is critical that we get it right,” said Kelsey Behringer, CEO of Packback. “The Advisory Board brings together leaders across K-12 and higher education to better understand how AI tools can inspire deeper engagement and more authentic learning, and how smart, responsible practices can make the benefits of AI accessible to all students.”

In just a few short years, AI has radically transformed teaching and learning. A global survey by the Digital Education Council found that 86% of students use AI to support their studies, with more than half using it weekly and one-quarter using it daily. But concerns about “cognitive offloading”—when students turn to AI instead of wrestling with assignments themselves—are mounting among educators. To address this, educators, school, and institutional leaders are seeking guidance about promoting authentic engagement and encouraging meaningful student effort, without banning AI from the classroom.

The Advisory Board, representing a cross-section of education leaders with deep experience at the intersection of technology, policy, and practice, will explore how AI and other emerging technologies can enhance teaching and learning. The Board will focus on equity, academic integrity, and technological innovation, and center the academic and operational interests of both K-12 and higher ed sectors.

The Advisory Board includes the following:

Dr. Bernard Rowan, Associate Provost, Chicago State University; Dr. Rowan was formerly an Assessment Academy Member with the Higher Learning Commission.
Dr. Blake Freeman, Chief Academic Officer, Hamilton County Department of Education (Chattanooga, TN); Dr. Freeman also previously served as Executive Director of Learning and K-12 Officer of Academics.
Carley Ries, Vice Provost, Online Learning, University of Nevada, Reno; Ries led in the creation of Nevada Online, a department focused on online course access and development.
Dr. John J. “Ski” Sygielski, President, HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College; Dr. Sygielski previously served as chairman of the board of the American Association of Community Colleges.
Dr. Kate Smith, President, Rio Salado Community College; Dr. Smith previously served as Dean at Monroe Community College in New York.
Marc Watkins, Assistant Director, Academic Innovation, University of Mississippi; Watkins is also the director of the AI Institute for Teachers, which offers training for faculty in applied AI.
Dr. Monique Reeves, Executive Vice Chancellor for the Future, Austin Community College; Dr. Reeves is also an Aspen Presidential Fellow for Community College Excellence and previously served as president of Houston Community College.
Dr. Norma Scagnoli, Chief Learning and Innovation Officer, Illinois Tech; Dr. Scagnoli previously served in leadership roles at the University of Illinois and Northeastern University.
Dr. Quintin Shepherd, Superintendent, Pflugerville Independent School District (Pflugerville, TX); Dr. Shepherd is also a member of the National Superintendent’s Association Governing Board and served as Superintendent of Victoria Independent School District (Victoria, TX).

“AI has the potential to transform learning at every level, but only if it’s implemented with care, intention, and a deep understanding of how students learn,” said Carley Ries. “This group represents a critical opportunity to ensure AI becomes a partner to educators, not a replacement, helping us design classrooms that are more inclusive, engaging, and human-centered.”

The Advisory Board will convene quarterly to provide strategic guidance to Packback leadership, and collaboratively explore best practices for responsible development and adoption of AI tools.

Desk News — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 16:00:10 +0530

New Delhi [India], December 2: Rishihood University’s School of Entrepreneurship (SoEN) successfully organised a three-day Health Hackathon on Social Entrepreneurship at its campus and conducted a credit course for Rishihood learners as part of a week-long academic engagement under the mentorship of Prof. Jonathan Fleming from MIT Sloan School of Management and Prof. Vasudev Murthy, Executive Director, School of Entrepreneurship (SoEn). The combined initiative offered students an immersive, hands-on experience in building scalable, impact-driven solutions for pressing health challenges.

The intensive hackathon brought together 10 interdisciplinary teams comprising students from Rishihood’s newly launched Mahesh Navani School of Brain, Body, and Behavior (MaNaS), School of Design, Rashtram School of Public Leadership, and the School of Entrepreneurship to tackle pressing challenges in India’s healthcare ecosystem. The initiative aimed to develop scalable, low-cost, and technology-enabled solutions to improve healthcare access, affordability, and awareness in underserved communities.

Designed around the globally recognised MIT Hacking Medicine Framework, the program emphasised design thinking, rapid prototyping, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and business model validation. Over three immersive days, participants ideated, built prototypes, refined business plans, and pitched innovative solutions to a panel of academic experts and healthcare professionals.

The Health Hackathon was designed to drive innovation in healthcare through rapid prototyping, while promoting cross-disciplinary collaboration between students of entrepreneurship, policy, design and mental health. The programme encouraged participants to develop high-impact social startup ideas and immerse themselves in practical, real-world problem-solving aligned with India’s evolving needs.

Over the course of the hackathon, more than 10 high-potential solutions were ideated, showcasing a strong integration of business strategy, design thinking and policy insights. Beyond concept development, the experience provided students with valuable exposure to the realities of social entrepreneurship globally, with several ideas now being considered for future incubation within Rishihood University’s innovation and startup ecosystem.

Speaking on the initiative, Prof. Jonathan Fleming, MIT Sloan School of Management, said:

The Health Hackathon demonstrated how powerful interdisciplinary collaboration can be when students from public policy, design, social entrepreneurship, and engineering come together to solve real-world challenges. Innovation thrives when universities bring the real world into the classroom.”

Prof. Vasudev Murthy, Executive Director, School of Entrepreneurship, added:

“This hackathon is aligned with Rishihood University’s vision to nurture purpose-driven leaders and problem solvers who can ideate solutions for our nation. Our focus is not just on ideation, but on creating impactful, scalable solutions that can transform communities.”

The Health Hackathon strongly reflected Rishihood University’s commitment to developing socially conscious innovators and entrepreneurs. The jury evaluated all teams on the parameters of innovation, social impact, feasibility, and sustainability, ultimately declaring Air Sanjeevani as the winning solution. The team stood out for its drone-based medicine delivery system designed for remote and emergency-prone areas, demonstrating how drone technology can enable fast, contactless, and reliable access to essential medicines and vaccines, effectively reducing delays in critical care.

The runner-up positions were awarded to Samvrddhi, for its low-cost wearable health monitors supporting chronic disease management; HealthHero, an engaging health education gamification app that promotes hygiene, nutrition, and vaccination; and Jeewan Vada, an affordable micro-health insurance model integrated with Ayushman Bharat to strengthen healthcare access for low-income families.

Each artist who performed here brought not just their talent, but also their heritage, their pride, and a sense of unity. We thank every nation present for making this celebration more meaningful.”

This year’s International Folklore Festival will be remembered for not only its performances but also for the warmth it created between nations, between communities, and between every individual who experienced it.

Abhyaas Lex Quest 2025 Concludes with Resounding Success; Sets New Benchmark in School-Level Legal Education

Desk News — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 13:30:56 +0530

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], November 29: Abhyaas Edu Technologies successfully concluded Abhyaas Lex Quest 2025, India’s biggest school-level law talent hunt, marking a remarkable milestone in legal and civic education for young learners across Hyderabad. Held at the Telangana Corporators’ Cultural Club (TCCC), the Grand Finale witnessed an extraordinary gathering of budding legal aspirants, school leaders, academicians, alumni, influencers, and distinguished personalities from the legal, academic, and creative communities.

This year’s Lex Quest witnessed a record-breaking response, with 75 leading schools participating in the city-wide movement. Over 4000 students appeared in the Preliminary Round conducted across various campuses. From this competitive pool, 25 top-performing schools qualified for the Grand Finale, where they engaged in two intellectually rigorous rounds—the Subjective Theory Round and the prestigious Grand Moot Court Competition. The event brought to life the experience of legal problem-solving, structured reasoning, and courtroom argumentation, offering students a rare and immersive exposure to the world of law.

Event Graced by Eminent Guests

The Prize Distribution Ceremony was enriched by the presence of eminent guests, including:

Hon’ble Justice S. Ravi Kumar Garu – Chief Guest
Dr. P. Ravi Sekhara Raju, Director, ICFAI Law School – Guest of Honour
Renowned Film Director Parasuram Garu – Special Guest

Their presence and interactions not only elevated the event’s stature but also inspired the young participants to approach law with seriousness and purpose.

Guest of Honour and Special Guest Impressions

Dr. P. Ravi Sekhara Raju, addressing the gathering, praised the initiative for its academic impact and vision. “Abhyaas Lex Quest 2025 is not just a competition—it is a powerful learning ecosystem that exposes school students to the true spirit of legal education. I am deeply impressed by the analytical depth and maturity these young participants have demonstrated.”

He further added: “Law is not merely a subject; it is a way of thinking, a way of shaping society. Through platforms like Lex Quest, students begin this journey much earlier, which will undoubtedly create more aware, responsible, and constitutionally grounded citizens.”

Commending the organizers, he concluded: “The team at Abhyaas has created a rare blend of academic rigor, real-world exposure, and inspiration. Events like this will go a long way in bridging the gap between school education and professional legal aspirations.”

The inspirational address by Director Parasuram Garu brought a unique perspective on the role of law in shaping society. “I am truly amazed by what Abhyaas Lex Quest 2025 has achieved today. The energy, the discipline, and the sharpness these young students have displayed is extraordinary. Events like this make law feel alive, relevant, and inspiring for the next generation.”

Citing cinema’s influence on public consciousness, he said: “In our films, we often show how the law protects the vulnerable. Take the example of Jai Bhim. In that movie, a woman from a remote village—without an Aadhaar card, without influence, without any backing—manages to fight for her rights and get justice only because of the power of law. That is the strength of our legal system.”

He added with optimism: “Watching these students argue, analyze, and present like young lawyers gives me immense hope. If this is the future of our legal fraternity, then our society is truly in safe hands. Initiatives like Lex Quest don’t just create awareness—they create purpose.”

Chief Guest’s Reflections

Hon’ble Justice S. Ravi Kumar Garu delivered a heartfelt address, expressing profound appreciation for the event: “It is a true honor to be here today for the Prize Distribution Ceremony of Abhyaas Lex Quest 2025. I must also take this moment to extend my sincere thanks to the Chairman of Abhyaas Edu Technologies, Naresh Reddy Dubbudu, for inviting me to this magnificent occasion. Honestly, this entire event has been nothing short of spectacular. This is truly one of the best events I have ever attended.”

He added: “In my years, I’ve visited many school functions, but I can confidently say I’ve never witnessed a school event quite this smart, this well-organized, and this vibrant.”

Reflecting on the deeper impact of such initiatives, he said: “By promoting excellence and critical thinking, Lex Quest encourages bright young minds to take up law as a career. I have no doubt that today’s vibrant display has persuaded many students to pursue law and dedicate their lives to justice and service.”

Leadership Vision at Abhyaas

Sharing the organization’s broader mission, Mr. Naresh Reddy Dubbudu, Chairman – Abhyaas Group of Institutions, stated: “Lex Quest 2025 has once again proven that when young learners are given the right platform, they rise with extraordinary clarity, confidence, and purpose. This initiative is not merely about identifying talent—it is about empowering the next generation to view law as a calling for justice and meaningful social transformation.”

Miles CPA: India’s New Power Route to Global Accounting Leadership

Desk News — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 13:30:48 +0530

Where ambition meets worldwide opportunity

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], November 29: When MILES Education set out to reimagine how India prepares for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) credential, it wasn’t simply launching another test-prep program—it was rewriting the country’s global accounting ambition. For decades, students and professionals dreamed of world-class careers but lacked a bridge that felt accessible, practical, and future-proof. Today, that bridge has a name, a blueprint, and a proven success story—and it begins with understanding what it truly means to become a certified public accountant through a learning ecosystem built for India, yet recognised across the world.

A New Chapter for Indian Talent

Not long ago, preparing for the US CPA felt like chasing a moving target—scattered guidance, limited access to mentors, and no long-term roadmap. MILES Education changed that narrative by building India’s largest mentorship-driven learning movement in global finance. With more than 70,000 alumni and presence across major cities, the institution transformed preparation into possibility, creating a path where Indian candidates could study, test, and even secure international roles without needing to leave the country first.

What began as a bold idea is now an industry-shaping reality: over 80% of all licensed professionals in India trace their journey back to MILES.

A Story of Real Aspirations, Real Results

Consider the thousands of commerce graduates who once believed that global credentials were out of reach. Many balanced day jobs, family expectations, and the uncertainty of starting something new. Yet, the moment they walked into a MILES classroom—virtual or physical—the narrative shifted. Learning no longer felt overwhelming. Strategy replaced guesswork. Confidence replaced hesitation.

Some completed all four exams in under 18 months. Others moved from mid-level accounting roles to Big 4 interviews. A few are now working in corporate finance teams across the United States, proving that India’s talent was never lacking—only the right platform was.

That platform is now shaping the country’s next wave of financial leaders.

Building a Skillset That Works in the Real World

What makes this journey different is that the goal is not only passing an exam. MILES designed a system that aligns learning with employability—simplifying concepts, strengthening analytical thinking, and making every lecture relevant from day one on the job.

Candidates don’t just prepare; they evolve:

From memorising regulations to applying tax logic
From reading audit theories to interpreting controls
From studying reporting standards to managing financial conversations

A global credential becomes meaningful only when it translates into global readiness—and that is the foundation MILES insists upon.

Learning from Leaders Who’ve Been There

The catalyst behind this movement is a teaching philosophy that energises rather than intimidates. Learners experience masterclass-style sessions where every topic is broken down with clarity and purpose.

As Mr. Varun Jain, CEO of MILES Education, states:

“India doesn’t lack talent—it has been waiting for the right direction. When learners are guided with structure, mentorship, and belief, the leap from aspiration to achievement is no longer extraordinary—it becomes expected.”

This approach inspired thousands to choose MILES not merely as a prep provider, but as a lifelong professional ally.

Why India Trusts the Miles Advantage

The evolution of success rests on three pillars:

Unmatched Faculty Pedigree:
Learning from the world’s favourite mentor accelerates understanding, but learning from a global network amplifies it further. With access to industry practitioners, academic experts, and career advisors, every learner is surrounded by guidance—not left to navigate alone.

End-to-End Support Beyond the Exam:
From eligibility evaluation to state board selection, exam scheduling, ethics requirements, and license assistance, support continues until the very last milestone. Candidates don’t just pass—they complete the journey.

Career Pathways That Create Outcomes:
Placement assistance, corporate partnerships, and a rapidly expanding global alumni footprint ensure learners move forward with momentum—not uncertainty.

A Future That Expands With Every Step

Today, whether someone chooses to begin their US CPA course right after graduation or while advancing in their career, flexibility no longer feels like a privilege—it is built into the system. And for those who prefer structured digital learning, MILES has transformed preparation through its CPA online coaching model—designed for working professionals who need progress without compromise.

It is no surprise, then, that MILES is widely regarded as the leading CPA institute in India—a place where global credentials meet Indian determination, and where futures are shaped with intention rather than chance.

The Movement Is Already Underway

Across campuses, boardrooms, and homes, one shift is becoming clear: India is no longer asking whether global accounting careers are possible—it is deciding how quickly to begin.

And for those ready to step into that future, the gateway has never been more accessible.

Because this isn’t just about earning three letters after your name.

It’s about rising to a standard that the world recognises—and knowing that the world is ready to recognise you.

Miles Education: Redefining India’s Rise in Global Accounting Excellence

Desk News — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 13:30:39 +0530

Where ambition meets preparation, and preparation meets world-class outcomes

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], November 29: For decades, Indian finance professionals have dreamt of careers that extend beyond domestic boundaries—roles where their decisions shape global markets, where expertise speaks louder than geography, and where credibility travels across borders without restriction. That shift is no longer an aspiration. It is a measurable reality that began when Miles Education transformed how India prepares for the world’s most respected accounting credential.

Today, a new generation of learners is no longer asking, “Is global recognition possible?”
They are asking, “How soon can I get there?”

A New Definition of Professional Confidence

In a rapidly changing financial landscape, technical knowledge alone doesn’t set professionals apart—clarity, global relevance, and strategic capability do. Miles Education recognized this long before the transition began and reshaped preparation into a structured, outcome-oriented journey built to match international standards without compromising accessibility for Indian learners pursuing the US CPA.

The shift is evident everywhere:

Indian professionals leading global audit teams
Finance analysts managing cross-border reporting
Young graduates securing international roles without relocating early
Working professionals reskilling to stay future-proof

The result is not merely an increase in qualifications—it is an increase in capability, confidence, and global readiness.

The Pathway That Simplifies a Complex Journey

The process of becoming a CPA may be globally rigorous, but it does not need to be overwhelming. Candidates often struggle not because of difficulty, but due to fragmented guidance, unclear eligibility decisions, and a lack of structured direction.

Miles Education rebuilt the pathway with precision:

Eligibility evaluation and credit-hour guidance
State board selection based on long-term goals
Step-by-step scheduling and planning support
Licensing assistance beyond exam completion

Nothing is left to chance. Every phase is mapped with clarity so learners can move forward with certainty instead of second-guessing.

Learning That Matches Real-World Expectations

Technical mastery is only the starting point. The real differentiator lies in how well candidates can apply concepts in environments where accuracy connects directly to impact. With expert-led preparation, learning becomes practical, structured, and aligned with how global finance operates.

Candidates develop:

A strong command of reporting and regulatory frameworks
Skill in interpreting financial data for decision-making
A deeper understanding of taxation and policy implications
Confidence in communicating with diverse stakeholders

By the time learners sit for the exam, they are not only prepared—they are transformed.

Why the New-Age Indian Learner Chooses Miles

The shift toward global qualifications is not driven by trends—it is driven by opportunity. Organizations are expanding, compliance frameworks are evolving, and companies are actively seeking professionals trained to operate across standards, jurisdictions, and industries.

That is why learners look for more than instructional delivery. They expect:

Mentorship over messaging
Structure over self-navigation
Clarity over complexity
Support that continues beyond certification

Miles Education meets these expectations through an ecosystem that integrates academic excellence with real-career outcomes.

A Leadership Philosophy That Inspires Action

As Mr. Varun Jain, CEO of Miles Education, expresses:
“Exams are only one milestone. What truly matters is who you become through the process—how ready you are to contribute, solve problems, and lead with competence in any environment across the world.”

His approach has shaped thousands of successful journeys, proving that the right guidance doesn’t just prepare someone to pass; it prepares them to excel.

The Advantage India Didn’t Have Before—Now Built at Scale

With access to global educators, structured learning systems, and long-term mentoring, Miles has become the destination learners trust when choosing the best CPA coaching in India.

For those who require flexibility, preparation continues seamlessly through the CPA institute in India, enabling progress without relocation or disruption to work-life schedules. And for those who want a guided academic pathway, comprehensive support makes the transition smooth from the first inquiry to final licensing.

A Future Powered by Global Readiness

The world is shifting toward professionals who can think strategically, communicate confidently, and interpret financial systems beyond borders. Becoming a certified public accountant is not only about qualifying for roles—it is about rising into positions that influence business direction, financial governance, and organisational trust.

And for learners seeking structured preparation, the journey begins with the right foundation—expert-driven US CPA coaching, a clearly defined roadmap, and an institution that remains invested not just in passing results, but in long-term professional growth.

Because with Miles Education, Indian talent is not being prepared to participate in the future. It is preparing to shape it.

Miles Education: Where India Learns to Think Like Global Financial Leaders

Desk News — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 13:30:31 +0530

Turning Indian talent into world-ready accounting excellence

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], November 29: There are moments in every industry when the rules quietly change—when what once felt distant suddenly becomes attainable. In Indian accounting education, that moment arrived when MILES Education reshaped how learners approach the Certified Public Accountant credential and what it means to build a career without borders.

For years, ambitious students believed that global qualifications required leaving the country, finding external support, or navigating the journey alone. Today, that belief is outdated. The new reality is powerful and proven: India now has a launchpad that takes determined learners from classrooms here to financial roles across the world. And that launchpad begins with understanding what it truly means to pursue the CPA credential through guidance that is built for India, yet recognised across global markets.

A Shift in Mindset, A Shift in Outcomes

The modern learner is no longer satisfied with traditional preparation. They want clarity, relevance, mentorship, and a roadmap that actually converts effort into visible, life-changing results. MILES Education sensed that shift early—and built an ecosystem that doesn’t just coach; it prepares, supports, elevates, and stays with the learner long after the exam is over.

Instead of asking learners to fit into an old framework, MILES created a new one:

Where global accounting doesn’t feel intimidating
Where complex concepts are broken into practical understanding
Where guidance is not generic, but personalised
Where the journey is structured—not overwhelming

The outcome speaks louder than any claim: thousands of Indian professionals now hold roles in multinational companies, Big 4 firms, and U.S. financial teams—many of them beginning as everyday students who simply received the right direction.

The Power of Preparing With Purpose

While the title US CPA is globally respected, what truly transforms a career is the journey leading up to it. Learners discover far more than exam content—they learn how financial decisions work, how systems are controlled, and how governance influences growth.

The value is not only in certification but in capability:

Stronger analytical reasoning
Practical exposure to global accounting standards
Confidence in managing financial reporting discussions
Ability to understand taxation beyond theory

With a clearly structured timeline, candidates complete the program in 12–18 months, even while working full-time. Flexibility isn’t an added benefit—it is part of the design.

Why India Needed a New Kind of Support System

In the past, learners struggled not because they lacked potential, but because they lacked process. MILES simplified the journey from the very first step—US CPA admission—to the final licensing milestone.

The support includes:

Eligibility evaluation and academic credit guidance
State board selection and document assistance
Clear planning for exam scheduling and timelines
Application-to-license mentorship

No confusion. No fragmented information. No student left to figure things out alone.

Learning From Leadership, Not Just Instructors

At the center of this transformation is a teaching philosophy that connects knowledge with energy. Learners are not spoken at—they are engaged, challenged, and equipped.

As Mr. Varun Jain, CEO of Miles Education, shares:

“When we teach, our goal is not just to help someone clear an exam. Our goal is to build professionals who think globally, contribute meaningfully, and step into rooms with confidence—not hesitation.”

His approach has already shaped the journey of more than 70,000 students, many of whom now serve as global ambassadors of Indian accounting excellence.

A New Standard for Global Preparation

With access to 100+ global educators, industry mentors, and structured academic plans, learning becomes a guided progression rather than a guessing game. This is why MILES has become the preferred destination for CPA USA in india—not because of scale alone, but because it delivers outcomes that continue even after certification.

Why emotional wellbeing matters in child development

Desk News — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 17:00:15 +0530

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], November 28: Across Indian cities and small towns, parents are paying closer attention to how children feel, not only to how they score in exams. Child development specialists say emotional wellbeing shapes memory, motivation and behaviour, and is tightly linked to long term academic achievement. In classrooms that follow the Central Board of Secondary Education curriculum, this link is drawing interest from school leaders who want to balance marks with mental health. In Ahmedabad, parents searching for a CBSE school or English medium school are increasingly asking how a campus supports feelings of safety, belonging and confidence in every child.

Emotional wellbeing in childhood refers to the way children understand and manage their feelings, build relationships and cope with setbacks. When this foundation is strong in the early years, children are more likely to explore, ask questions and stay engaged in learning. When it is weak, even bright students may withdraw, lose interest in class or show aggression and anxiety.

Home as the first school for emotional skills

The home environment is often the first school for emotional skills. Warm, predictable routines, shared meals and unhurried conversations help children name their feelings and trust that adults will listen. Experts point out that harsh comparison with siblings or classmates, constant reference to marks and overuse of screens can increase stress levels in young minds.

How CBSE schools support emotional wellbeing in Ahmedabad

Schools play a crucial role in balancing this picture. A best CBSE school in Ahmedabad, or anywhere else, is increasingly understood as one that focuses on social and emotional growth along with exam results. They aim to create classrooms where students feel respected, can speak up without fear and see diversity as a normal part of life.

Teaching practices make a visible difference. Child friendly, activity-based lessons allow pupils to move, experiment and collaborate, instead of only copying from the board. When a CBSE school with project-based learning in Ahmedabad links maths or science to real world problems, children not only remember concepts more clearly but also feel a sense of purpose and agency. Group work, school clubs and community projects give quieter students room to contribute in smaller circles and build confidence step by step.

Infrastructure also matters. Well lit, clean classrooms, safe play areas and age-appropriate sports facilities give children space to release energy and form healthy friendships. Best CBSE primary school environments in Ahmedabad tend to emphasise art, music and drama along with core subjects, which can act as outlets for feelings children cannot yet put into words. Access to a trained counsellor or wellbeing coordinator allows early support when a child shows signs of distress, bullying or sudden change in behaviour.

Admission choices, transport and daily routine

Family choices during school admission are slowly reflecting these priorities. When parents enquire about CBSE school admission for 2025 to 2026 in Ahmedabad, questions about class strength, counselling services and peer support systems are becoming as common as questions about toppers and board results. Some families also ask for a clear outline of the admission process for CBSE schools in Ahmedabad so they can judge how fairly interviews, interactions and assessments treat young applicants.

Transport and time management are another part of emotional health. In a large city, a CBSE school with transport facility can reduce daily fatigue and make punctuality easier for children whose parents work long hours. Yet long travel times can also tire students if routes are not planned carefully.

Rising interest in holistic learning across Gujarat

Across Gujarat, interest in holistic learning schools is growing. Parents who once searched only for top rated CBSE schools near me now often explore whether teachers receive training in emotional first aid, inclusive education and classroom management. They pay attention to how schools respond to bullying, how discipline is explained and whether student voice is heard in councils or suggestion forums. This shift suggests that families are starting to view wellbeing as a shared responsibility rather than a private issue to be handled at home. This trend can be seen across income groups.

Shared responsibility for child development and emotional health

Experts in child development recommend small, steady steps to support emotional health. At home, caregivers can set aside device free time each day, listen without rushing to fix problems and praise effort rather than only outcomes. In school, teachers can use simple check ins, reflective journals and peer support circles to notice when a child is struggling. Clear communication between parents, teachers and counsellors helps ensure that early warning signs are not missed and that support plans are realistic.

As awareness rises, the idea of a successful CBSE curriculum is widening. Good grades remain important for future education and careers, yet they are now being placed alongside kindness, adaptability and inner strength. For many families in Ahmedabad and across Gujarat, the hope is that a strong partnership between home and school will give children both the skills and the emotional grounding they need to face an uncertain future with balance and courage.

CliniExperts Research Services Pvt. Ltd

New Delhi [India], November 27: CliniExperts Research Services Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, India, proudly announces the successful completion of Phase IV study on Akynzeo® I.V for Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd. As a CRO, CliniExperts provided end-to-end Clinical Support, including Site Management and Clinical Operations support.

Study Title: An open-label, single-arm, multicenter, prospective study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Akynzeo® I.V. [Fosnetupitant 235 mg and Palonosetron 0.25 mg (concentrate for solution for infusion)], in the Prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in Indian patients (STOP-CINV study).

Study Design:

178 adult patients (male or female) aged ≥18 and ≤75 years, scheduled to receive their first cycle of chemotherapy, were enrolled across 6 sites in India. The study was initiated after approval from the institutional ethics committee (CTRI/2023/04/051951).
All enrolled patients received IV Akynzeo® (fosnetupitant 235 mg and palonosetron 0.25 mg) diluted up to 50 mL with either 30 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride or 5% glucose and infused over 30 minutes (initiated 30 minutes before chemotherapy and completed before the start of chemotherapy).
The overall observation period was 10 days (±2 days). On Day 1, patients received CINV prophylaxis with dexamethasone at the oncologist’s discretion, followed by nine days of telephonic follow-up to evaluate safety and effectiveness.
Assessments were conducted on Day 2 (24 hours), Day 5 (120 hours), and Day 10 (±2 days; 240 hours). Data collected included the timing and duration of each emetic episode, severity of nausea, use of rescue medications, and any adverse events (AEs).
The severity of nausea was assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 to 100 mm: VAS <5 mm, no nausea; VAS 5 to <25 mm, no significant nausea; VAS 25-74 mm, moderate nausea; and VAS 75-100 mm, severe nausea.
Safety monitoring included recording treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) and serious TEAEs (STEAEs).

Study Conclusion

IV Akynzeo® was highly effective in preventing acute, delayed, and extended delayed CINV in cancer patients receiving HEC and MEC regimens.
The combination demonstrated compelling effectiveness and a favorable safety profile, supporting its use as a preferred option for the prevention of CINV. IV Akynzeo® provides a simple and convenient CINV prophylaxis option, addressing symptoms for up to 10 days after chemotherapy with a single dose administered on Day 1.

eMediSkill: The Single Online Platform For Medical Study And Skill Growth

Desk News — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 14:30:44 +0530

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], November 25: eMediSkill is an online learning platform created for medical students, doctors and healthcare professionals who want serious academic depth and structured skill growth in one place.

The platform’s mission is simple: to be a one stop solution for medical academic studies and skill development for doctors, healthcare professionals and paramedical staff. It is built to support what happens in college, hospitals and clinics, not to replace hands-on clinical work.

eMediSkill currently offers two main tracks.

Online certificate and diploma courses for doctors

Skill development programs that help doctors strengthen specific areas of practice. These courses are delivered fully online so that doctors can study around duty, OPD and on-call schedules, then apply those skills in their real-world clinical settings.

MBBS-level subjects for exam preparation and revision

Essential medical subjects are covered in depth at the MBBS level, including:

Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Pathology, Medicine and more.

These subjects were originally created for MBBS exam preparation, with structured, exam-focused coverage. Because of growing demand from BAMS, BHMS, BUMS and other backgrounds, this content is now open to anyone, but it continues to be taught and organised at the MBBS level and mainly serves exam preparation and serious revision for students and doctors.

The platform is 100 percent online, making the same academic and skill content accessible to learners regardless of city or college, while expecting practical skills to be honed in real clinical environments.

Medical learners today are surrounded by notifications, short clips and endless scrolling. In that noise, even motivated students struggle to follow a clear study path.

“Our focus is not to add more noise to a student’s day,” said Ms. Vaishnvi Gaikwad, Administrative Strategist, eMediSkill. “We want to remove distractions from their learning life, give them a straight line from topic to understanding and let them use their energy on studying, not on hunting for what to study next.”

Details of current certificate and diploma offerings, along with the list of MBBS-level exam preparation subjects, are available at: https://emediskill.com/

About eMediSkill

eMediSkill Institute of Science & Technology Pvt. Ltd. is an online platform dedicated to medical and healthcare education. By combining MBBS-level academic coverage with focused certificate and diploma programs for doctors, eMediSkill aims to give medical learners a clear, structured path for both exams and day-to-day clinical growth.

Educationist’s Autobiography blends faith, leadership, and youth empowerment

Desk News — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 18:30:48 +0530

Fr V M Thomas at the launch of his autobiography “Building Dreams – Shaping Lives” in Guwahati.

Guwahati (Assam) [India], November 24: Don Bosco Institute (DBI), Kharghuli, celebrated its Silver Jubilee with a solemn thanksgiving ceremony and the launch of Building Dreams – Shaping Lives, the autobiography of its educationist founder Father V M Thomas.

Hon’ble Justice Ujjal Bhuyan, Chief Guest at the celebration, released the volume in the presence of Guest of Honour, Devajit Saikia, Advocate General of Assam and Secretary of the BCCI. The event drew a distinguished gathering of judges, government officials, clergy, religious, alumni, and friends of Don Bosco.

More than a chronicle of achievements laid out in 598 pages, the autobiography is a testimony of grace and a narrative of how one man’s vision became – a collective mission for the youth of Northeast India. Former Chancellor of Assam Don Bosco University, Fr Thomas, recalls his first walk up Kharghuli hill in 1993, when the site was nothing but wild grass and rocks. In that silence, he heard a whisper: “Build here a Lighthouse for the youth of the North East.” That whisper became the guiding vision of his life.

The book traces the journey from land acquisition struggles and water scarcity to milestones such as the foundation stone laid by Chief Minister, Prafulla K Mahanta, in 2000, the inauguration by Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh in 2004, and the dedication by Fr Pascual Chávez, Rector Major of the Salesians. For Fr. Thomas, these were not mere ceremonies but signs of a vision taking shape—an institution of learning and a sanctuary of hope.

Though trained at Harvard in Educational Administration, Planning and Social Policy, former principal of Don Bosco School Guwahati, Fr Thomas insists that true leadership was learned on the banks of the Brahmaputra: teamwork, service, and love in action. “True leadership is not power. It is teamwork and service. It is love in action.” He salutes the pioneers, staff, and benefactors who stood shoulder to shoulder with him, describing them not as colleagues but as co‑founders in spirit.

One of the book’s strengths is its portrayal of DBI alumni as “living fruits” of the mission. Judges, senior officers, entrepreneurs, teachers, and social leaders are presented as the harvest of hope, proof that dreams can become destiny. His pride in past pupils such as Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Devajit Saikia is framed as thanksgiving rather than self‑congratulation.

Beyond institutional achievements, the autobiography highlights initiatives like YouthBuild, YouthLead, Skill Missions for the underprivileged, and Child Friendly Guwahati. The latter, close to his heart, is described as “the lamp that glows in the streets below,” a mission for street children who sleep under bridges and yearn for dignity.

Stylistically, the book blends devotional reflection with narrative detail. “My autobiography is not a book of achievements. It is a story of grace.” That humility makes the book resonate beyond DBI alumni or Salesian circles. It speaks to anyone who believes that institutions can be instruments of hope, and that faith can turn rocks into foundations.

In the end, Building Dreams – Shaping Lives is more than the life story of Fr V M Thomas, the IAS and IPS trainer at Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, Mussoorie. It is a mirror held up to the Northeast itself—its struggles, its resilience, and its promise.

EduHubSpot’s AI for Project Management Course: A Game-Changer for Next-Gen PMs

Desk News — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 18:30:41 +0530

New Delhi [India], November 24: EduHubSpot has officially launched its highly anticipated AI for Project Management Certification Course, a timely offering for professionals who want to lead with innovation in an AI-driven world. As project management evolves, the course aims to address the growing need for project leaders who understand not just traditional PM frameworks but also how to leverage artificial intelligence, prompt engineering, and real-world simulation.

At its core, the program integrates foundational project management skills—be it predictive, agile, or hybrid—alongside hands-on training in AI tools and real-case simulations. According to EduHubSpot, AI is now a “must-have” for project professionals, not just a futuristic add-on. To back this, the course offers 20+ live virtual sessions with PMI-authorized trainers, ensuring learners receive expert guidance throughout their journey.

One of the most innovative aspects of the course is the use of 50+ AI prompts specifically designed for project management tasks. These prompts cover a diverse set of real-world use cases—from risk analysis and stakeholder communication to timeline adjustments and resource optimization. By working through these prompts, participants learn not just to apply AI, but to think like AI-assisted project managers.

Beyond prompts, the program features immersive workshops and simulations. These are not theoretical — participants will interact with tools and AI-driven workflows, making decisions in scenarios they are likely to encounter in their day-to-day work. The hands-on nature of these exercises helps bridge the gap between concept and execution, enabling learners to internalize AI-driven project methodologies.

Another key differentiator is the 365-day access to course resources. This extended access supports long-term learning and allows professionals to revisit materials, prompt libraries, and simulations even after the live training ends. Participants also earn 30 PDUs (Professional Development Units) and an AIPM certification, making the course not just a learning investment, but a professional credential recognized by PMI practitioners.

From a financial perspective, EduHubSpot has introduced an encouraging introductory offer: the standard course fee is ₹49,998, but early enrollees can access it for just ₹24,999, making it a compelling value proposition for professionals serious about future-proofing their skills.

EduHubSpot CEO Varun Anand underscored the urgency of this skillset, stating that “AI is no longer optional in project management — it’s essential.” This sentiment resonates strongly in today’s corporate landscape, where AI is reshaping how projects are planned, executed, and delivered.

This course is ideal for a wide range of professionals: PMP-certified managers, agile practitioners like Scrum Masters or Product Owners, business analysts, portfolio managers, or anyone involved in leading or coordinating projects.

By blending traditional PM frameworks with AI-powered decision-making, EduHubSpot’s offering is not just a certification program — it is a career accelerator. With technology evolving rapidly, this course equips project professionals to navigate uncertainties, deliver value, and lead teams into a future where agility and AI go hand in hand.

EduHubSpot’s GenAI & Prompt Engineering Program: Shaping the Future of AI Talent

Desk News — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 18:30:19 +0530

New Delhi [India], November 24: In an era where artificial intelligence is transforming every sector, EduHubSpot has taken a bold step by launching its Gen AI & Prompt Engineering Training program— a course designed to build the next wave of AI talent. This initiative caters to developers, data engineers, product managers, and business leaders aiming to harness the power of generative AI (GenAI) and large language models (LLMs) to drive innovation in their work.

At its heart, the program arms learners with both theoretical foundations and practical tools. Participants explore the principles, history, and use cases of GenAI, gaining a deep understanding of how LLMs operate and how they can be harnessed. A key part of the curriculum is mastering prompt engineering, the art and science of creating effective instructions for LLMs to generate meaningful, relevant, and accurate outputs.

The hands-on component sets this course apart. Trainees engage with LangChain and LlamaIndex, frameworks that help build real GenAI applications. They also learn how to fine-tune LLMs, evaluate them using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and even deploy multi-agent systems using Agent-to-Agent protocols. This level of exposure equips learners to build and scale intelligent, autonomous AI agents.

Automation is another pillar of the program. With tools like n8n, participants automate workflows by embedding AI into business processes. Combined with the study of LLMOps, they acquire skills to manage, maintain, and scale AI models effectively, ensuring their AI systems stay efficient and relevant in production.

Another major advantage is the mode of learning. The training includes live interactive weekend classes, guided by seasoned AI/ML experts, allowing participants to clear doubts in real time. More than 40 assignments and quizzes reinforce understanding, while hands-on labs and a capstone project enable learners to build a complete GenAI application from scratch.

In addition, individuals get 1:1 doubt-clearing mentorship, making sure no concept goes unexplained, along with a certificate of completion that strengthens their professional credibility. Its thoughtfully structured curriculum ensures participants don’t just learn — they build, iterate, and deploy.

EduHubSpot’s Gen AI training is tailored for a diverse audience. Whether you’re a software developer eager to integrate GenAI into your products, an ML/AI enthusiast, a business leader, or a fresh graduate seeking a future-ready role, this program helps bridge the gap between AI theory and real-world application.

Introductory pricing and scholarships further sweeten the deal, making this high-value training accessible. With both weekday and weekend batches expected to begin soon, the course offers flexibility to balance between work and learning.

By integrating generative AI, prompt engineering, autonomous agents, and real deployment strategies, EduHubSpot is not just teaching AI — it’s preparing a generation of professionals to lead in an AI-powered world.

Today, under our flagship kindergarten brand Gurukul Vatika, we invite passionate entrepreneurs and educationists to become franchise partners at the state and district level across India. Join us to build joyful, high-quality early childhood education centers that are trusted by parents and loved by children.

Why Gurukul Vatika?

A heritage you can trust.
A business built on a legacy dating back to 1923 gives you more than a logo — it gives credibility, community recognition, and a long track record of values-based education. Gurukul Vatika carries forward the Dhanushdhari Group’s reputation for responsible, child-centred learning.

Proven early-years pedagogy.
Our curriculum is crafted by early childhood specialists to combine play-based learning, emergent literacy and numeracy, socio-emotional development, and Indian cultural roots. It’s designed to prepare children for school while fostering curiosity, confidence, and creativity.

Turnkey operational model.
Franchise partners receive a complete package — curriculum manuals, teacher training, operations playbooks, student assessment tools, safety & hygiene protocols, branding assets, and ongoing support. This lets you open and scale high-quality preschools rapidly and consistently.

Brand & marketing support.
Leverage decades of goodwill and professionally produced marketing collateral to build local awareness. We provide launch marketing templates, digital campaign guidance, admissions process support, and community engagement strategies.

Focus on safety, health & child welfare.
Our operating standards include child-safety checks, standardized emergency procedures, first-aid training, and daily hygiene routines — non-negotiables at every Gurukul Vatika centre.

Who We’re Looking For

We welcome two levels of partners:

1. State Franchisee

Ideal for: Organizations or groups with capability to develop, support, and expand across an entire state.
Responsibilities: Recruit & onboard district franchisees, maintain quality standards statewide, handle state-level marketing, coordinate regional training, and ensure regulatory compliance across districts.
Value proposition: Exclusive state rights, higher margin opportunities, centralized training & operational support from HQ.

2. District Franchisee

Ideal for: Local entrepreneurs, education companies, or community leaders who can open multiple centres across a district or cluster of cities.
Responsibilities: Operate district-level marketing, open and manage centres, hire and oversee teaching staff, implement Gurukul Vatika standards locally.
Value proposition: Focused territory, hands-on operations, direct support from state & national teams.

Both roles suit socially minded entrepreneurs who care deeply about child development and want a business that delivers social impact alongside financial returns.

What We Provide to Franchise Partners

Comprehensive Training

Initial leadership and teacher-training academies.
Periodic refresher workshops and online learning modules.
Classroom management, parent communication, and child assessment training.

Curriculum & Teaching Resources

Daily lesson plans, seasonal themes, activity kits, and assessment templates.
Storybooks, worksheets, and activity charts aligned to developmental milestones.
Guidance on inclusive education practices.

Operational & Safety Frameworks

Standard operating procedures (SOPs) for admissions, attendance, student records, and fee management.
Child protection and safety protocols, emergency drills, and health check workflows.
Guidance on centre layout, classroom design, and materials procurement.

Marketing & Admissions Support

Launch playbook: community events, parent open-houses, and local PR.
Digital marketing guidance: website templates, social media toolkits, and lead-conversion scripts.
Seasonal campaigns and enrollment drives designed to maximize occupancy.

Quality Assurance & Audits

Regular in-person and remote audits to ensure pedagogical fidelity.
Mystery visits, parent feedback systems, and performance dashboards.
Recognition programs for high-performing centres.

Ideal Centre Profile

While every neighbourhood is unique, successful Gurukul Vatika centres typically meet these standards:

Location: Safe, accessible area with good footfall and residential catchment.
Space: Classrooms with natural light, safe play area (indoor/outdoor), child-sized furniture, and separate rest areas.
Staff: Trained early-years educators, at least one certified lead teacher per classroom, and support staff for safety and cleaning.
Compliance: Adherence to local licensing, health, and safety regulations.

We provide detailed site selection checklists and support in converting or setting up spaces to meet our brand standards.

Investment & Returns (What to Expect)

We design franchise packages to be scalable and accessible. Investment depends on centre size, city tier, and level of fit-out required. As a general outline (indicative only — exact figures provided during discovery meetings):

Initial franchise fee for district/state rights (varies by territory).
Setup costs: premises fit-out, furniture, play equipment, and marketing launch.
Recurring fees: royalty/management fees and periodic material replenishment.

Gurukul Vatika centres have been structured to achieve strong break-even timelines when managed to the recommended enrollment and fee model. Our franchise operations team will work with you to prepare realistic financial projections and a tailored business plan.

Note: All financial estimates will be provided during the franchise disclosure process. We do not make guaranteed income claims — performance depends on local execution and market factors.

How We Ensure Quality & Consistency

Maintaining the Gurukul Vatika promise requires a partnership mindset. We support franchisees with:

Regular training and curriculum updates.
Remote lesson observations and in-person mentoring.
Parental engagement frameworks to build long-term trust.
Localized innovation: districts can propose pilot programs which, if successful, can be adopted more widely.

Our governance model balances brand standards with local flexibility — ensuring every child experiences the warmth and rigour that define Gurukul Vatika.

Social Impact & Community Roots

At Gurukul Vatika we measure success by outcomes beyond enrollment numbers. Our centres focus on:

Early literacy and numeracy readiness.
Socio-emotional learning and confidence-building.
Inclusive practices for children with diverse learning needs.
Community engagement — parent workshops, health camps, and cultural events that strengthen neighbourhood bonds.

Franchise partners become local ambassadors for child development, amplifying a century-old legacy of service that the Dhanushdhari Group stands for.

How to Apply — Simple 3-Step Process

Express Interest — Submit a short franchise inquiry (basic details and preferred territory).
Discovery Call & Background Review — Detailed discussion about territory, capabilities, and expectations. Franchise information pack and indicative financials shared.
Onboarding & Launch — Upon mutual agreement: agreement signing, training schedule, centre set-up support, and a planned launch roadmap.

We assess all applicants based on passion for education, operational capability, and commitment to our child-first values.

If you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or educationist who believes in the transformative power of early childhood learning, Gurukul Vatika offers a rare combination: a trusted legacy (since 1923), a robust educational model, and a franchise system designed for sustainable growth and deep community impact.

INSA UK and Creoo Launch INSEC at the UK Parliament: The First National Employability Council for Indian Students in the United Kingdom

Desk News — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 00:30:08 +0530

INSEC officially launched at the UK-India Leadership Summit at the Parliament, November 2025

London [United Kingdom], November 19: In a landmark moment for Indian students in the United Kingdom, Creoo and INSA UK launched the Indian National Student Employability Council (INSEC) at the UK Parliament during the UK–India Leadership Summit. INSEC is the first national body dedicated exclusively to improving career outcomes and representation for Indian students across Britain, a community that represents the largest international student population in the country yet faces systemic barriers to employment and professional success.

The summit was attended by Navendu Mishra MP (Labour MP for Stockport), former MP Virendra Sharma (Chair of the Indo-British All Party Parliamentary Group), Anjana Patel (Mayor of Harrow), Amit Tiwari (National President INSA), Parin Shah (INSA Bharat Head), Ranjeet Singh Rathore (General Secretary INSA), Ayesha Goyal (Founder and CEO of Creoo), along with university leaders, employers, and sector organisations. The gathering at Parliament marked a decisive turning point: Indian students will no longer be subjects of policy discussions. They will be active participants in shaping them.

INSEC (www.insecuk.org) is a joint initiative between INSA UK and Creoo. For the first time, Indian students in the UK will have access to a dedicated national platform that provides career mentorship, research on student outcomes, representation in policy conversations, and practical support delivered at scale.

The joint initiative combines the expertise of two organisations uniquely positioned to address this challenge.
INSA UK (www.insauk.org), founded in 2016 at the High Commission of India under the guidance of the late Sushma Swaraj, is the largest Indian student association in the United Kingdom with a presence in more than 50 universities across England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales.With INSEC, INSA UK now becomes the only Indian student network in the country addressing the employability challenge head-on at national scale. INSA UK is guided by its National Leadership team, which includes Amit Tiwari, Puneet Dwivedi, Girish Rao, Parin Shah, Vasikar Sathiyamoorthy, Kishore Dattu, Vijaykumar Pydi, Ranjeet Singh Rathore, and Pranav.

Creoo (www.creoo.co), founded in 2019 by Ayesha Goyal, is a career mentorship platform built specifically to help international students break into the UK job market. With a network of over 200 mentors who work at Apple, Amazon, McKinsey, Google, Bain, JP Morgan, and 80 more of the world’s most competitive employers, Creoo has built the infrastructure that connects ambition with opportunity. The platform has guided thousands of students through application processes, interview preparation, and career decisions that determine their professional futures. Creoo is powered by a core leadership team that includes Jai Jain, Siva Pranesh, Ruchi Gala, Omkar Bobde, and Shreya Basnet.
Together, these two organisations bring unparalleled expertise, proven impact, and the operational capacity needed to transform career outcomes for the Indian student community nationwide.

During the official launch of INSEC at Parliament on November 17, Ayesha Goyal delivered a keynote speech sharing her journey as an int’l student herself and a powerful call to action: “In the last 18 months alone, more than 36 panels have convened to discuss international students. Yet students on the ground report little tangible improvement. The conversations keep happening but the outcomes do not. INSEC is not another panel. It is a commitment and it starts today.” Her speech resonated across the chamber, emphasising that talent has never been the barrier for Indian students. Isolation has.

“Through INSEC, we will be actively engaged in dialogues with senior MPs, policymakers, and decision-makers so that Indian students are represented where decisions about international students are being shaped, not after those decisions have been made,” added Goyal.

Vasikar Sathiyamoorthy, National Officer at INSA UK, stated: “INSEC UK marks a defining moment in the journey of Indian students in the United Kingdom. For the first time, we are building a national platform dedicated to helping Indian students navigate and succeed in the UK job landscape. We want to be the bridge that connects potential to purpose. INSEC UK will also work at the policy and institutional level to ensure that the voice and aspirations of Indian students are heard, represented, and acted upon. This is not just an initiative; it is a movement, a commitment to empower the next generation of Indian students to dream bigger, aim higher, and build their futures with clarity and confidence.”

INSEC’s inaugural year will deliver at national scale. The National Career Roadshow will launch across six INSA chapters (LSE, UCL, King’s College London, Birmingham, Bath, and Queen Mary), reaching more than 1,000 students in 30 to 60 days with career accelerators, mentorship sessions, and direct employer connections. Launching in early 2026, the First National Study on Indian Student Outcomes will be the largest white paper ever conducted on Indian students in the UK, providing unprecedented data on job outcomes, salaries, return on investment, and sponsorship pathways. A National Advisory Board will convene policymakers, employers, universities, and community leaders to ensure Indian students have representation and influence when decisions affecting their futures are made.

For the first time, Indian students in the UK have a national employability platform, national research documenting their outcomes, national representation in policy, and national programming delivering practical support at scale. INSEC represents a fundamental shift: from fragmented efforts to coordinated action, from panels to implementation, and from talking about students to empowering them. This is the beginning of a new era for Indian students in the United Kingdom.

Stanford Seed Honors Nasir Ali’s Transformation Story — A Testament to Grit, Purpose, and Grassroots Impact

Desk News — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 03:00:08 +0530

New Delhi [India], November 18: In a moment that reflects both personal triumph and professional purpose, Nasir Ali, Founder & CEO of Gallant Sports & Infra and President of the Stanford Seed Network (South Asia), has been spotlighted by the Stanford Graduate School of Business on its global Stanford Seed Voices platform. The feature celebrates entrepreneurs whose journeys embody grit, transformation, and impact — values that define the Stanford Seed mission.

For Nasir, this recognition is deeply personal.
Because his story did not begin in a boardroom.
It began on a dusty ground.

Raised in a modest setting, Nasir grew up watching children play on makeshift fields, often without access to even the most basic sporting facilities. The inequality stayed with him. Years later, that memory became his mission: to ensure that every child in India could access a real playground, not just a patch of earth.

His path was not easy he built Gallant Sports from the ground up, learning through failures, financial pressure, and the slow, demanding pace of entrepreneurship. But he kept moving, fuelled by the belief that sports infrastructure was not a luxury; it was a foundation for confidence, health, and opportunity.

Today, that long journey has taken him all the way to Stanford.

“This recognition is not about me alone,” Nasir says in the feature. “It’s about every entrepreneur who starts small, dreams big, and refuses to give up. If my journey can show someone that their beginnings don’t define their future, then it’s worth everything.”

The Stanford Seed Voices platform highlights the deeply human side of Nasir’s growth how participating in the Stanford Seed Transformation Program gave him the frameworks, leadership mindset, and global network to scale Gallant Sports with clarity and heart.

Under his leadership, Gallant Sports & Infra has helped build hundreds of safe, modern, inclusive sports spaces across India’s schools and communities, ensuring that children from every background can play, learn, and grow.

“Nasir’s story reflects the transformational spirit of Seed,” the Stanford Seed team notes. “His work is not just creating infrastructure — it is creating hope and opportunity.”

About Nasir Ali

A self-made entrepreneur and advocate for grassroots sports development, Nasir Ali leads Gallant Sports & Infra and serves as President of the Stanford Seed Network (South Asia). His work focuses on transforming school and community spaces into world-class sports environments that empower the next generation.

About Stanford Seed

An initiative of the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Stanford Seed partners with high-potential entrepreneurs in emerging markets to help them grow their companies, strengthen leadership, and create sustainable impact.

About Gallant Sports & Infra

Gallant Sports & Infra is India’s leading sports infrastructure company, known for its innovative, durable, and child-centric playground and sports facility solutions. The company has built a mission around accessibility, quality, and long-term community impact.

Dr. K. I. Varaprasad Reddy, Founder & Chairman of Shantha Biotechnics, highlighted the importance of values, morals, and cultural identity in education, urging students of Resonance Junior Colleges and Resonance Schools to take pride in the Telugu language as a keeper of heritage and identity.
Dr. Jaiteerth R. Joshi, CEO & MD of BrahMos Aerospace, motivated students to dedicate their knowledge and skills to the nation, underscoring discipline, purpose, and responsible citizenship as true markers of success.
Dr. Lavu Rathaiah, Founder & Chairman of the Vignan Group of Institutions, described the intermediate phase as one of the most crucial in a student’s life, encouraging discipline, resilience, and consistent hard work.

Adding energy and a strong connection with youth, several celebrated film personalities joined the celebrations of Resonance Group.

Emerging Study‑Abroad Destinations for Indian Students — Germany, Dubai, Ireland, Japan and the Netherlands Lead the Next Wave

Desk News — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 14:00:23 +0530

New Delhi [India], November 18: As the global higher‑education landscape continues to evolve, Jamboree Education shares five emerging destinations for Indian students: Germany, Dubai (UAE), Ireland, Japan, and the Netherlands. These countries are increasingly being chosen as alternatives or complements to traditional destinations such as the US, UK, Canada and Australia; thanks to more welcoming immigration and visa regimes, affordability, promising career prospects, and strong institutional offerings.

Why these destinations are gaining traction

Against the backdrop of “traditional” international destinations like the US, UK, Canada, and Australia presenting a number of challenges, countries that offer high‑quality education, affordability, favourable visa/work‑back options and strong job opportunities are coming to the fore.

The total number of Indian students studying abroad has crossed the 1.8 million mark in 2025, up from about 1.3 million in 2023.

Within this broad trend, the five destinations we highlight are emerging as particularly compelling. Here’s an overview:

1. Germany

Current snapshot:

For the winter semester 2023‑24, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) reported 49,483 Indian students enrolled in German universities – a 15.1% year‑on‑year rise.
More recent statements suggest the figure has touched nearly 60,000 Indian students (a ~20% rise) in 2025.

Why Germany stands out:

Indian students now form the largest group of international students in Germany, overtaking China.
Low or zero tuition in many public institutions, strong STEM/engineering programmes.
Clear post‐study stay/work routes make for a greater influx of international talent.
Students are attracted by the affordability + quality combination at a time when many traditional destinations are becoming more expensive or restrictive.

What Indian students should keep in mind:

Though tuition is low, living costs (approx. INR 10L/year) and proof‑of‑funds (e.g., blocked account) still need to be budgeted for.
Many programmes are English‑taught, but knowledge of German improves internship/job prospects.
Early planning is critical for housing, as competition in major cities is increasing.

Ideal for: Students looking for engineering/technology Master’s programmes, good work options, and a strong European education.

2. Dubai (UAE)

Current snapshot:

According to the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), Indian students make up approximately 42–43% of the international student population in Dubai’s private higher education institutions for the academic year 2024‑25.
Total student enrolment in Dubai private higher‑education reached ~42,000 across 41 institutions, up 20.4% year‑on‑year.

Why Dubai is emerging fast:

Proximity to India (New Delhi is just a 3.5-hour flight away from Dubai!), cultural familiarity, time‑zone advantages and campuses of globally‑ranked universities make it appealing.
Indian students are choosing business/management, IT & engineering programmes in Dubai – aligned with changing job markets.
The UAE is actively positioning itself as a global education hub.
The UAE’s tax-free regime automatically improves RoI (Return on Investment).

What Indian students should keep in mind:

Limited options for students seeking admission into a global top 100 university.
Post‑study work/immigration pathways exist but may differ from Western models – so check specifics of the institution and visa rules.
Think through housing, cost‑of‑living, and RoI before committing.

Ideal for: Students seeking international‐brand campuses, business/tech programmes, and a study‑abroad experience closer to India.

3. Ireland

Current snapshot:

According to reports, Indian student numbers in Ireland have grown significantly: from ~800 in 2013 to over 7000 in 2024.
Ireland remains one of the fastest‑growing European destinations for Indian students.

Why Ireland is appealing:

English‑speaking European country with many globally‑oriented tech companies headquartered there (Google, Apple, etc).
Ireland is considered the Silicon Valley of Europe, making it a great option for students seeking a world-class tech degree.
Relatively affordable compared to UK/US options; good work prospects for graduates.

What Indian students should keep in mind:

Living costs (especially in Dublin) can escalate rapidly – early budgeting is important.
While most courses are in English, integrating into local internship/job ecosystems helps.
Popular programmes fill up fast – applying early pays.

Ideal for: Students wanting an English‑language European degree, tech/business focus, and a gateway into the EU job market.

4. Japan

Current snapshot:

Recent figures indicate a growing interest in Japan as one of the emerging destinations among international students, including those from India.

Why Japan is gaining traction:

Japan is actively seeking international students to offset its demographic challenges (ageing population); this means new scholarship and work incentives.
Strong in technology/engineering, robotics, product design – fields attractive to Indian STEM aspirants.
Unique exposure: Asian market, strong companies, language and cultural USP.
Highly cost-effective – approx. 20% of the cost of attending a top university in the US or the UK.
Safe, accommodating, and technologically-advanced society.

What Indian students should keep in mind:

Japanese-language proficiency plays a key role in employment prospects, and most organisations require a JLPT N3 proficiency. Language learning aptitude helps!
Cultural adjustment, visa/work pathways differ from Western norms – good to use university support early.
Application processes for Japanese universities are very different from those of other global universities, and tend to be more cumbersome. Start early and make sure you meet all requirements thoroughly.

Ideal for: Tech/engineering students seeking an early mover’s advantage of an education experience in a fast-growing Asian economy that is actively seeking international students.

5. The Netherlands

Current snapshot:

The Netherlands is among European countries with a rapidly growing Indian-student presence.

Why the Netherlands stands out:

Transparent fees, clear post‑study “Orientation Year” visas for graduates from Dutch institutions.
High internationalisation culture, strong industry links, and good student‑life standards.
One of the few European nations where English is a primary language, similar to the UK and Ireland.
Post-Brexit, most global companies set up their European headquarters at Amsterdam, making it the fastest growing business hub in the continent.

What Indian students should keep in mind:

Housing in major Dutch cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam can be tight – a plan for accommodation is vital.
Fees are moderate (for Europe) but living costs can add up.

Ideal for: Students seeking a quality European education in English, with strong career orientation and international campuses for both business and tech.

How Jamboree Education Supports Students

Jamboree Education provides comprehensive counselling for Indian students exploring these destinations, with:

Destination‑specific webinars, country‑wise guidance.
University & programme short‑listing tailored to student profile + budget.
Application assistance: SOPs, LORs, exam guidance, documentation.

Final Thoughts

The world of international education is shifting. For Indian students, the right country is no longer just about brand name or ranking – it’s about fit:

What you want to study
What you can afford
What language you are comfortable with
What career path you aim for
How ready you are to immerse yourself in a new culture

New Delhi [India], November 17: Talentorial.com today announced the official launch of the world’s first comprehensive Career Enablement Hub, introducing a groundbreaking model that integrates artificial intelligence with structured mentorship and institutional collaboration to transform career readiness at scale.

This isn’t just about helping people find jobs—it’s about building career-ready professionals from day one, regardless of their geography or socioeconomic background.”

The platform’s unique value proposition lies in its 360-degree approach, serving four critical stakeholder groups simultaneously:

For Aspirants: Comprehensive Career Development
– AI-powered CV analysis with actionable, personalized feedback
– Industry-aligned aptitude and attitude assessments
– AI-driven mock interviews with real-time performance insights

– Smart matching with internships and job opportunities

Democratizing Access to Career Success

The platform’s multilingual, modular design ensures that a student in rural India has access to the same world-class tools, guidance, and visibility as peers in metropolitan centers globally.

“We’re creating equal opportunity, not just equal access,” Roy emphasized. “Every learner deserves the right guidance, assessment tools, and opportunities to succeed. Talentorial makes this a reality by combining the scale of AI with the irreplaceable value of human mentorship.”

Technology Meets Human Touch

What distinguishes Talentorial from conventional career platforms is its seamless integration of AI-driven assessments with human mentorship. While artificial intelligence provides instant feedback, personalized learning paths, and data-driven insights, experienced professionals offer context, encouragement, and real-world wisdom—creating a powerful synergy that neither technology nor mentorship alone can achieve.

The platform’s AI engine continuously learns from millions of data points across assessments, mentor interactions, and employer feedback, enabling increasingly precise skill-gap identification and career pathway recommendations.

Early Traction and Market Response

Since opening to select users, Talentorial has received overwhelming response from aspirants, mentors, universities, and employers across multiple regions. The platform is currently operational in India and the GCC, with strong early adoption indicating significant market demand for integrated career enablement solutions.

Vision for Global Impact

Talentorial has set ambitious growth targets, planning to support over 1 million learners by 2028 across India, the GCC, and other emerging markets. The roadmap includes:

Geographic expansion into Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America
R&D to strengthen AI in Career Enablement including behavioural insight analytics
Expanded mentor network reaching 100,000+ verified professionals
Partnerships with 500+ academic institutions globally
Integration with major employer ATS systems for seamless hiring workflows

“This is just the beginning,” Roy concluded. “Our vision is to make Talentorial the global benchmark for career enablement—a platform where talent meets opportunity, where experience meets ambition, and where everyone, regardless of background, can build a meaningful career.”

A Shift in Aspirations: High School Graduates Choose Learning from Leaders Over Traditional Classrooms

Desk News — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 19:00:36 +0530

By HITESH MITTAL (Founder-CommerceCorridor & Certified Career Counsellor)

New Delhi [India], November 15: For decades, the default path after high school was clear: secure a seat in a reputed college or university, follow the traditional classroom model and then step into the job market. Today, that trajectory is rapidly changing. A new generation of students is reimagining education by prioritizing hands-on exposure, mentorship from innovators, and flexible degree programs that blend learning with real-world practice.

Learning from Leaders, Not Just Lectures:

High school graduates increasingly seek opportunities to learn directly from startup founders, corporate leaders, and industry innovators. Internships, workshops, and entrepreneurial boot camps are replacing textbook-driven learning. Students are attracted to environments where they can interact with mentors who have “been there and done that,” gaining insights that no syllabus can capture.

Institutions such as the MESA School of Business in Bengaluru — backed by CRED founder Kunal Shah — and Tetr Business School exemplify this shift. Instead of rote learning, these institutes immerse students in real-world business challenges, entrepreneurial projects, and mentorship programs, blending academic rigor with practical exposure. Students learn by solving live problems and shadowing successful founders, making the learning process highly experiential.

The Appeal of Flexibility:

Distance learning and hybrid programs offered by prestigious institutions are fueling this trend. Top B-Schools like IIM Bangalore and other top colleges offering degrees in online or distance mode are gaining traction. Such programs allow students to earn a recognized academic qualification while simultaneously pursuing internships, startup projects, or skill-based learning. This helps them to blend a perfect mix of practical exposure and an Alumni Status along with a platform to meet employers in the campus where you complete your Graduation or a post-grad.

Changing Role of Degrees:

While degrees still matter, the emphasis is no longer on attending lectures five or six days a week. Instead, students want degrees that complement experience. A distance BBA or specialized certification from a top-tier institute becomes a foundation, while the true value lies in the portfolio of projects, internships, and innovations a student undertakes during the same time.

This trend signals a broader transformation in higher education. Traditional colleges may need to redesign their models to integrate mentorship, industry-led learning, and flexible formats. As students increasingly view learning as an ongoing, experience-driven journey, the future of education is likely to look less like a classroom and more like an innovation hub.

Author notes:

“Students today are less interested in simply attending classes and more eager to shadow leaders, learn by doing, and combine degrees with experience. This approach not only makes them more employable but also more entrepreneurial.” Please visit for more Information: http://hiteshmittal.in/mediapresence/ani/tribune/

ISR Sparks a Revolution in Indian Education!

Desk News — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 16:30:41 +0530

New Delhi [India], November 14: India’s classrooms are undergoing a seismic shift, and International STEAM Research (ISR) is at the epicenter. In the wake of the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP2020), which called for a radical move towards experiential and technology-driven learning, ISR has emerged as the game-changer, transforming schools across the nation into hubs of innovation and future-ready talent.

No More Rote Learning, Welcome to the Age of Innovation!

ISR’s approach isn’t about flashy gadgets or isolated robotics labs. It’s about embedding STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) into every lesson, making learning hands-on, inquiry-driven, and deeply relevant to the real world. Students are now building AI models, designing solar-powered solutions, and coding robots, not as extracurriculars, but as part of their daily classroom experience.

The Results? Nothing Short of Transformational.

Schools that partnered with ISR since 2020 report skyrocketing student engagement, deeper understanding, and a dramatic shift from passive memorization to active exploration. These schools are now recognized as innovation leaders, producing students who don’t just learn about technology, they use it to solve real problems.

ISR’s Secret Sauce: Integration, Not Isolation

Unlike traditional models that stop at setting up a robotics lab, ISR weaves technology, invention literacy, and cross-disciplinary thinking into the very fabric of education. Teachers are upskilled, students participate in innovation camps, and every activity is designed to nurture creative, adaptable problem-solvers ready for the jobs of tomorrow.

A Wake-Up Call for Indian Schools

The message is clear: Schools that delay this transformation risk leaving their students behind in a rapidly changing world. Global industries are demanding adaptable, creative thinkers, and ISR’s model is the proven, scalable solution that aligns with both NEP2020 and global best practices.

From Urban to Rural, ISR’s Impact is Nationwide

Whether it’s students in cities using AI to predict traffic or rural learners designing sustainable irrigation systems, ISR’s frameworks are affordable, inclusive, and adaptable to every context. Teachers report a new energy in classrooms, with collaboration and exploration replacing rote lectures.

ISR: More Than Curriculum, It’s a Movement

With events like MuseVention, DaVinci SoccerBot Championship and global collaborations, ISR is not just changing what students learn, but how they think and lead. The impact? A new generation of innovators, ready to tackle India’s, and the world’s, biggest challenges.

The Time to Act is Now

ISR has shown the way. For school leaders, educators, and policymakers, the choice is clear: embrace this transformation or risk irrelevance. India’s future depends on visionary action today. follow.

Global alliance and international exposure offer more than technical learning. Students get the chance to understand cross-cultural diversity, the global market, and develop the ability to adapt in diverse settings.

The 12-month, LIVE online EPHM equips learners with contemporary managerial capabilities tailored to healthcare. The curriculum builds robust competencies across leadership, organisational design, strategy, marketing, organisational communication, operations, economics, human resources, finance, accounting and information systems—enabling professionals to apply evidence-based management to complex clinical and non-clinical settings. The programme welcomes learners from hospitals, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostics, allied services, health insurance, public health bodies, and consulting, and prepares them to advance as future managers, business heads, analysts, entrepreneurs, and sector leaders.

Two five-day campus immersions during the journey strengthen peer learning and faculty engagement. The design revolves around three core axes—Healthcare Context, Sector-Specific and Functional Modules—to deepen understanding of regulatory and ethical frameworks, public policy, comparative health systems, hospital operations, data and digital health, health economics, entrepreneurship and technology as a strategic enabler. Learners translate their learning into practice through cases, projects, and a capstone, with immediate application in the workplace.

Industry analyses signal robust tailwinds: Rubix Industry Insights (September 2025) estimates that the healthcare market will surpass USD 1.5 trillion by 2030, growing at a roughly 19% CAGR. Meanwhile, IBEF notes the sector will require over 6.3 million additional healthcare jobs by 2030, underscoring the need for leaders who can scale quality, safety, access and efficiency across the continuum of care.

Speaking on the announcement, Ravindran Rajesh Babu, Professor and Dean (Executive Education), IIM Calcutta, said, “At IIM Calcutta, EPHM integrates managerial rigour with the realities of care delivery. Learners examine policy, finance, operations and digital health, then convert insight into measurable gains in safety, access and patient experience. Through immersive pedagogy and peer learning, we equip clinicians and administrators to lead resilient, data-driven organisations and steward sustainable performance across India’s evolving healthcare ecosystem with conviction.”

Sridhar Nagarajachar, Business Head, TimesPro, said, “We emphasise applied analytics, quality improvement and service redesign so learners create tangible value from week one. Industry engagement, mentoring, and workplace projects sharpen judgement and accelerate leadership readiness. Our focus is tangible outcomes—better decisions, smoother patient pathways and scalable operations across hospitals, life sciences, insurance and public health.”

The pedagogy features highly interactive sessions, case studies, projects, and assignments led by acclaimed IIM Calcutta faculty and industry experts delivered via TimesPro’s Interactive Learning platform in a Direct-to-Device mode.

Holistic Nurturing of Young Minds through Online Education

Desk News — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 14:00:27 +0530

New Delhi [India], November 11: Among the pioneers of online schooling, Himalayan School, was established in 2023 at Noida. Within a span of just two years, the institution gathered momentum garnering goodwill of burgeoning number of parents and students, who have embraced the concept of online education. The Himalayan School truly reflects the new way of pedagogy emerging in the education sector accepting change that are global and futuristic in perspective. What makes the institution unique and why should it be a first choice is what Ms Sharmin Habib, Business Head of the institution shares with the readers.

The world underwent a tectonic shift in the way it functioned after the Covid 19 pandemic threw challenges never encountered before. Stunned initially, institutions recovered quickly to take charge of the situation. The education sector was no exception. It was shaken out of its conventional comfort zone to address its own set of challenges such as conducting regular classes so as not to miss an academic year. Institutions moved with alacrity to digital/online classes that encompassed a gamut of new approaches. This was a gap that spawned the concept of online schooling. The Himalayan School was thus born. It soon gained prominence by fostering a dynamic and enriching student life experience that extends way beyond the confines of a traditional classroom. Few more ventured into this domain, but the Himalayan School stands out for features salient to it, and found in none other.

A one of its kind NIOS (The National School of Open Schooling) and BOSSE (Board of Open Schooling and Skill Education) accredited school, and affiliated to Cambridge international curriculum, offering only IGSE, AS & A levels and not O level, Himalayan School meets the highest national and international standards in education. The curriculum is designed to enhance students’ digital literacy and subject-specific knowledge to sharpen their competitive skills by encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving, and intercultural communication leveraging students with the knowledge and confidence to choose globally relevant careers. The online school is not only unique for its flexibility, approach and accessibility, but is also International Schools Sports Organization (ISSO) affiliated. Some students of the Himalayan School are proud participants in national sports events. In addition, for holistic personality development of students, they are honed to enhance their Intelligence Quotient (IQ), Emotional Quotient (EQ), Social Quotient (SQ) and Adversity Quotient (AQ).

Today, the Himalayan School has embarked on an upward growth trajectory led by its Business Head, Sharmin Habib. A seasoned education and business development professional, she brings over 16 years of experience in early childhood education, edtech, and strategic growth. Her leadership, market insight, and commitment to impactful, accessible education as founder of Kindercare Services PVT LTD and I3 Education Pvt. Ltd., created a buzz in the education sector that success follows when Sharmin takes charge of ventures in preschool education and digital K–8 learning. With a strong background in franchise development and international business, including her role as Global Franchisee Head at K12 Education, the Himalayan School is scripting new chapters of excellence leveraging her experience and expertise. Giving impetus to the expansion plans of the Himalayan School, Sharmin has successfully forged hybrid campus collaborations with institutions in India and abroad including the The Kuliah Academy, Bahrain and an upcoming centre in Dubai to be announced soon. She elaborates, “In the hybrid campus model, theoretical classes are held online, whereas, physical practical classes are held on the campuses of partnering schools. We are exploring new geographies and in India, as well.”

Sharmin Habib shares, “Among the unique features of Himalayan School is our AI powered virtual labs. Our home learning concepts has enabled a one-on-one engaging interaction between the student and faculty anytime, anywhere. It has addressed the dilemma of parents with transferable jobs or those working in global corporates without disrupting the continuation of schooling of their wards from grade 1 to 12. Our Cambridge International curriculum helps to instil the values of adaptability and resilience in our students. Since change is a constant, to stay abreast, we have designed our online education with an LMS platform for learning that embraces change as an opportunity to grow and thrive.” She credits the school’s highly qualified and experienced faculty for their adept use of various pedagogical tools and methodology aligning them with concepts cherry-picked from leading global institutions, for effective classroom learning.

Even as the unique online-hybrid school model continues to create a vibrant ambience of meaningful learning along with inculcating skills in art, culture and sports, the institution has been true to its foundational values including compassion for the differently abled students. To give them equal opportunities through access to education, Sharmin avers, “Ours is the only online school with special educators having vast experience for teaching students with special needs, who otherwise are mostly neglected by conventional and even online schools.”
