From CFA Level I to Level II: Build the Right Strategy for Long-Term Success in CFA Exams

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 29: Clearing CFA Level 1 is often treated as the hardest part of the journey. In practice, Level 2 tends to be the tougher exam. Level 2 asks candidates to do something fundamentally different from Level 1: instead of recalling concepts across a wide spread of topics, they now have to apply several concepts at once within long,  vignette-based item sets and interconnected problem scenarios. Candidates who relied on breadth of study to get through Level 1 often find that the same approach falls short at Level 2, where the exam rewards depth and the ability to reason through applied problems under time pressure.

This shift catches many candidates off guard, particularly because it coincides with a change in life circumstances. Most Level 1 candidates are students or early-career professionals with more flexible schedules. By the time they reach Level 2, a large number are working full-time, which means preparation now has to compete with a job rather than sit alongside a lighter routine. The candidates who navigate this well tend to be the ones whose preparation was structured from the outset, not the ones who simply put in more hours.

Finnacle Institute’s own numbers make the scale of the exam’s difficulty clear. Its results for the recent May attempt at CFA Level 1 coaching were among its strongest yet, with pass rates that continue to run well above the global average published by the CFA Institute. Across CFA Level 1 coaching and CFA Level 2 coaching, Finnacle has historically reported pass rates ranging from 60% to 71%, well above the global benchmark that sits at 45% across all three levels. That gap, the institute notes, is not a function of easier material or a more lenient exam, it reflects a preparation process built to test candidates as rigorously as the exam itself does, a reputation that has positioned Finnacle among institutes offering the best CFA coaching in India. 

What Changes Between Level 1 and Level 2 Preparation

At Level 1, the priority is coverage: getting through ten subjects with a working command of each. Finnacle’s approach ties every chapter to an assigned practice test, followed by a full subject test once the chapter cycle is complete. Faculty grade each subject test immediately and provide individual feedback before the next subject begins, which means gaps are caught early rather than compounding across the syllabus.

At Level 2, this same testing discipline is retained, but the material itself forces a different kind of practice. Item sets combine multiple concepts within a single scenario, so a candidate needs to be able to move fluidly between topics rather than answer them in isolation. Finnacle’s CFA Level 2 coaching keeps the chapter-wise and subject-wise testing structure intact across all ten subjects, layering in additional scenario-based practice to mirror how the actual exam is constructed. All subjects are re-tested once the curriculum is complete, followed by a series of full-length mock exams before the candidate sits for the paper.

Preparing for Level 2 Without Pausing a Career

Because most Level 2 candidates are balancing internships, graduation or full time work, Finnacle offers both weekday and weekend batches, along with a pre-recorded lecture option for candidates whose schedules do not allow for fixed class timings. A round-the-clock doubt forum lets students raise questions in whatever format is easiest, whether that is text, an image of a problem, or a linked resource, so preparation does not stall simply because a candidate cannot make it to a live session that week.

The CFA training vertical at Finnacle Institute is headed by Mr. Laukik Shah, who brings 24 years of CFA training experience to the program. Faculty across the institute’s Mumbai and Surat branches include professionals who have themselves cleared CFA Level 2 and Level 3, along with FRM charterholders, CAs, and practitioners with direct experience in capital markets, giving Level 2 candidates access to people who have been through the exact stage they are now navigating.

Level 2 as a Stepping Stone, Not Just an Exam

For candidates who want their CFA preparation to lead directly into a career, Finnacle’s CFA Advanced track, delivered through its Finbridge® Program, folds Level 2 preparation into a broader curriculum that includes financial modelling, equity research, valuation, and live investment projects. Candidates on this track are placed in core finance roles, including investment banking, equity research, portfolio management, private equity, mutual funds, family offices, institutional equities, and venture capital, immediately after clearing Level 1, with packages averaging INR 8.9 lakhs per annum and going up to INR 13 lakhs for top performers, working with more than 120 recruiters, while continuing Level 2 and Level 3 preparation alongside their corporate experience at no additional training cost. 

The broader point candidates should take from a strong Level 1 result is not that the hard part is over. It is that whatever preparation habits got them through Level 1 are about to be tested at a different scale, and the ones who adapt that structure early tend to be the ones who clear Level 2 without needing a second attempt. For aspirants weighing their options for the best CFA coaching in India, the distinction lies less in which institute promises the best outcome, and more in which one can show, step by step, how it builds toward one.

Anand (Gujarat) [India], July 28: Every year, NEET results bring a mix of emotions. For some students, it’s the joy of securing a dream rank. For many others, it’s disappointment and uncertainty. Missing an MBBS seat often feels like missing the opportunity to build a career in healthcare.

But that perception needs to change.

Healthcare today is far bigger than a single profession or degree. Modern hospitals, research centres, rehabilitation clinics and community health programmes thrive because of multidisciplinary teams where doctors work alongside nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, laboratory experts, Ayurvedic and Homoeopathic practitioners, and several allied health professionals. Together, they deliver quality patient care.

This need has never been greater. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the world could face a shortage of nearly 10 million healthcare professionals by 2030, making it essential to build a strong workforce across every healthcare discipline, not just medicine.

India’s healthcare landscape is evolving rapidly. Rising life expectancy, lifestyle disorders, advances in medical technology, and growing awareness of preventive healthcare have transformed the way care is delivered. As the sector expands, so do opportunities for skilled professionals across Nursing, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Ayurveda, Homoeopathy and Allied Health Sciences.

Recognising this shift, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 advocates multidisciplinary education that prepares students for collaborative healthcare environments. Tomorrow’s healthcare professionals must not only excel in their own disciplines but also understand the value of teamwork in delivering holistic patient care.

CVM University has embraced this philosophy by creating an integrated healthcare ecosystem where programmes in Nursing, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Ayurveda, Homoeopathy and other health sciences exist within one multidisciplinary academic environment. This approach enables students to learn, collaborate and innovate together while preparing for the realities of modern healthcare.

One of the defining features of quality healthcare education today is experiential learning.

At CVM Nursing College, students build clinical confidence through the Advait Simulation Centre, where high-fidelity mannequins recreate real-life medical emergencies. Human cadaver dissection, smart classrooms and technology-enabled learning further strengthen practical skills before students enter clinical practice.

Students at the CVM Homoeopathic Medical College & Hospital receive education aligned with the guidelines of the National Commission for Homoeopathy, combining classroom learning with clinical exposure and research to prepare competent practitioners in holistic healthcare.

Similarly, the G. J. Patel Institute of Ayurvedic Studies & Research integrates classical Ayurvedic knowledge with extensive patient care and clinical training, enabling students to appreciate the role of traditional medicine within India’s evolving healthcare system.

The scope of Pharmacy has also expanded significantly. Today’s pharmacists contribute to pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotechnology, drug development, clinical research and regulatory affairs. At the Indukaka Ipcowala College of Pharmacy, students benefit from advanced laboratories, research opportunities and industry engagement that prepare them for diverse career pathways.

Physiotherapy has emerged as one of the fastest-growing healthcare professions. At the Rita A. Patel Institute of Physiotherapy, students receive extensive clinical exposure and hands-on training that equips them to improve mobility, restore function and enhance quality of life for patients across all age groups.

Beyond these disciplines, allied healthcare professionals, including laboratory technologists, imaging specialists and emergency care professionals, form the backbone of every healthcare institution. Their expertise is indispensable to timely diagnosis, effective treatment and quality patient outcomes.

For students participating in NEET counselling, the most important message is this: your future should never be defined by a single examination or a single degree.

The right career is one that aligns with your interests, abilities and aspirations. Every healthcare profession contributes to the same larger mission of improving lives.

As India moves towards the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, the demand for skilled healthcare professionals across every discipline will continue to grow. The future belongs to collaborative healthcare teams, where doctors, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, researchers and allied health professionals work together to build healthier communities.

At CVM University, the goal is not just to educate professionals but to nurture compassionate, competent and collaborative healthcare leaders ready to serve society.

Because building a healthier India begins with building a stronger healthcare ecosystem, and every healthcare professional has a vital role to play.

That reputation now comes with a significant addition: the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) has granted MBA equivalence to the institute’s two-year full-time PGDM programme, giving its graduates the same academic standing as MBA degree holders from Indian universities.

In practical terms, this gives MET graduates formal eligibility for doctoral programmes in India and overseas, for roles in government organisations, public sector undertakings (PSUs), and regulatory bodies, and for opportunities where an MBA or equivalent degree is specified as a requirement.

The development reflects the evolving landscape of management education, where autonomous PGDM institutions have increasingly focused on industry-oriented curricula while students continue to seek qualifications that offer both practical relevance and academic mobility. AIU equivalence bridges that gap by recognising qualifying PGDM programmes as academically equivalent to university-awarded MBA degrees.

For current students and alumni alike, the recognition removes long-standing ambiguity surrounding the acceptance of PGDM qualifications across higher education and public sector recruitment. It also enhances the international portability of the qualification for graduates seeking advanced education abroad, where universities often evaluate academic equivalence during admissions.

Commenting on the recognition, Pankaj Bhujbal, Trustee, MET, said: “Students today expect their management education to prepare them for every career pathway, whether that’s corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, research, public policy or higher education. AIU equivalence ensures our graduates have the academic recognition to pursue those ambitions without limitations. Combined with our strong alumni network across industries, this recognition reinforces the value of a PGDM that brings together industry relevance, an active community of MET professionals, and credentials recognised across academia and public institutions.”

The MET Institute’s two-year full-time PGDM programme is approved by AICTE, recognised by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), and granted equivalence to MBA by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU). The programme is supported by academic partnerships with KPMG, enabling students to gain industry-relevant knowledge and practical exposure. Its curriculum combines classroom learning with internships, live industry projects, corporate interactions, and experiential learning to prepare graduates for evolving business environments. This industry-focused approach has consistently delivered strong placement outcomes, with the highest package standing at INR 20 LPA, while also equipping graduates to pursue entrepreneurial ventures. 

As management education becomes increasingly interdisciplinary and career paths diversify beyond traditional corporate roles, academic recognition is emerging as an important consideration for students evaluating business schools. The AIU equivalence granted to MET’s PGDM programme strengthens its value not only as an industry-focused qualification but also as one that offers graduates the same academic flexibility and progression opportunities as an MBA.

New Delhi [India], July 27: What after NEET? Explore career options beyond MBBS and discover how biotechnology is creating opportunities in healthcare, sustainability, research and global innovation.

Every year, millions of students choose Biology with the dream of becoming doctors. While many secure admission to medical colleges, thousands of equally passionate students begin looking for other meaningful career options in the life sciences. Fortunately, today’s scientific landscape offers opportunities that extend well beyond clinical practice.

One such field is biotechnology – where biology, technology and innovation come together to address some of the world’s biggest challenges, from healthcare and sustainable agriculture to environmental conservation and industrial innovation. Among the institutions helping shape this next generation of scientists is TERI School of Advanced Studies (TERI SAS), New Delhi, a NAAC ‘A’ accredited Deemed-to-be University established in 1998 by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).

With more than two decades of academic excellence and one of the country’s early biotechnology programmes, TERI SAS has built a strong foundation in research-led education with sustainability at its core.

What Happens After NEET?

Every year, lakhs of students appear for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) with the aspiration of pursuing MBBS. However, with limited medical seats and intense competition, many capable students begin exploring other career options after Class XII Biology. For students wondering “What if I don’t get an MBBS seat?” or “What are the best career options after NEET?”, the answer may not lie in giving up on science altogether, but in discovering the many possibilities it offers.

One such field of possibilities is biotechnology. Rather than focusing on clinical practice, biotechnology applies biological sciences to solve real-world challenges across healthcare, agriculture, food systems, environmental sustainability and industrial innovation. For students who enjoy scientific inquiry, laboratory research, and innovation, it offers a way to contribute to discoveries that can improve lives at both national and global levels.

MBBS and Biotechnology: Different Paths, Shared Purpose

Both MBBS and Biotechnology are built on a strong foundation in Biology, but they prepare students for very different careers. While one focuses on diagnosing and treating patients, the other is centred on scientific research, technological innovation, and developing solutions that improve human health, agriculture, and the environment.

Biotechnology Is Shaping the Future Across Industries

The impact of biotechnology today extends far beyond research laboratories. Advances in genetics, molecular biology and data science are helping scientists develop next-generation healthcare solutions, improve agricultural productivity, restore ecosystems, and build more sustainable industries. As new challenges emerge, biotechnology continues to play an increasingly important role in creating practical, science-driven solutions.

A Growing Industry with Expanding Opportunities

The rapid growth of these fields has also expanded career opportunities for biotechnology graduates across research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, environmental organisations, agricultural technology companies and government research agencies. According to the India BioEconomy Report 2026, India is now home to 11,855 registered biotechnology startups, with 1,780 new biotech ventures established in 2025 alone. As investment in healthcare, agriculture and sustainable technologies continues to grow, so too does the demand for skilled biotechnology professionals.

This momentum is also being reinforced through policy. In 2024, the Government of India approved the BioE3 (Biotechnology for Economy, Environment and Employment) Policy, the country’s first biotechnology-specific policy aimed at accelerating innovation-led biomanufacturing and building a robust bio-based economy. The policy seeks to strengthen research, encourage entrepreneurship, establish Bio-AI Hubs and Biomanufacturing Hubs, and support the commercialization of bio-based technologies.

Through BioE3, the Government has identified six priority areas where biotechnology is expected to drive the country’s next phase of innovation and sustainable growth: bio-based chemicals and industrial enzymes, functional foods and smart proteins, precision biotherapeutics, climate-resilient agriculture, carbon capture and utilization, and futuristic marine and space research. Together, these focus areas are intended to strengthen India’s bioeconomy while advancing Green Growth, Net Zero commitments and the vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047.

India’s Biotechnology Roadmap Is Creating New Opportunities

India is preparing for the next phase of biotechnology growth. In its Roadmap for Building India as a Leading BioEconomy Powerhouse by 2035, the NITI Frontier Tech Hub envisions biotechnology as a key driver of healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing and environmental sustainability. The roadmap aims to grow India’s bioeconomy to $691 billion by 2035, create over 30 million high-value jobs, and position the country among the world’s top three biotechnology powers.

Rather than focusing on a single discipline, the roadmap highlights the convergence of biotechnology with artificial intelligence, computational biology, automation, and advanced biomanufacturing. It also proposes national missions spanning precision medicine, climate-resilient agriculture, synthetic biology, marine biotechnology, pandemic preparedness, and next-generation biopharmaceuticals.

For students considering biotechnology today, this means the field is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary. Future professionals will be expected to combine biological sciences with data, digital technologies, research and innovation to address challenges in health, food systems, industry, and sustainability. This changing landscape is opening new career pathways across research organisations, biotechnology companies, healthcare, agriculture, and emerging bio-based industries.

Building a Career in Biotechnology: From Undergraduate Studies to Research

For students considering biotechnology after Class XII, choosing the right academic environment is as important as choosing the discipline itself. At TERI School of Advanced Studies (TERI SAS), students can build a seamless academic journey, from the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) in Biotechnology to the Five-Year Integrated M.Sc. Biotechnology or M.Sc. Biotechnology, with opportunities to advance into doctoral research through the Ph.D. in Bioresources and Biotechnology.

A defining feature of biotechnology education at TERI SAS is its strong emphasis on research. Through undergraduate and postgraduate research projects, students develop the scientific knowledge, laboratory skills and analytical capabilities required for careers in research and higher education. They gain exposure to both experimental (wet-lab) and computational (dry-lab) research in areas such as Cancer Biology, Structural Biology, Microbial Pathogenesis, Vector-Borne Diseases, Plant Molecular Breeding and Plant Developmental Biology.

A key feature of the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) in Biotechnology is its flexible Major-Minor structure, allowing students to combine Biotechnology with disciplines such as Data Science, Environmental Studies or Business Administration to broaden their academic and career prospects.

The curriculum builds strong foundations in molecular biology, genetics, microbiology, and laboratory sciences while connecting these disciplines to real-world applications in healthcare, sustainability, and emerging biological technologies. Students also gain hands-on experience through laboratory work, project-based learning, and exposure to TERI’s wider scientific ecosystem.

New Delhi [India], July 25: As India’s economy increasingly demands a workforce equipped with communication, financial literacy, critical thinking, and leadership skills, youth-led non-profit The Noemara Elara Foundation is working to bridge this gap by preparing students from underserved communities for opportunities beyond the traditional classroom.

Founded in 2026 by Divit Narang, the foundation has already impacted more than 1,000 students through programmes delivered in government schools and partner organisations. While the organisation itself was established in 2026, Narang has been teaching and mentoring students from underserved communities since 2024, laying the groundwork for what would later become the foundation.

The organisation was born out of a deeply personal and traumatic experience. While conducting evening classes for a few children at his home, Narang learned that one of his students, a 16-year-old girl, was on the verge of dropping out of school due to an impending child marriage. Through sustained conversations with the student and her family, he helped persuade her parents to postpone the marriage and support her education.

Today, the student has completed Class 12 and is financially independent, working at a call centre—an experience that inspired Narang to establish The Noemara Elara Foundation with the vision of ensuring that more young people receive the guidance, opportunities, and practical skills needed to shape their own futures.

“That experience changed the way I viewed education. I realised that education is far more than academic learning—it is a pathway to economic independence, confidence, and informed decision-making,” said Divit Narang, Founder and Head of Education, The Noemara Elara Foundation. “Our objective is to ensure that students from underserved backgrounds develop the confidence and practical skills required to participate meaningfully in India’s rapidly changing economy.”

Unlike conventional academic support programmes, the foundation integrates life skills with classroom education. Students receive training in financial literacy, public speaking, debating, Model United Nations (MUN), critical thinking, and effective communication, helping them build capabilities increasingly valued by universities and employers.

The foundation recently achieved a significant milestone when five of its students participated in a Model United Nations conference for the first time. Competing alongside experienced delegates from leading schools, the students secured three Honourable Mention awards, demonstrating how exposure, mentorship, and access to real-life applicable skills can unlock talent irrespective of socio-economic background.

Education experts have consistently highlighted that India’s demographic dividend can only be realised by complementing formal education with employability and leadership skills. Initiatives that strengthen confidence, analytical thinking, and practical capabilities are becoming increasingly important as industries seek graduates capable of adapting to evolving workplace demands.

Currently operating across Haryana, The Noemara Elara Foundation plans to expand its programmes to Tamil Nadu, Bengaluru, and Kolkata, strengthening collaborations with schools, educators, and civil society organisations to reach more students and create pathways for long-term educational and economic empowerment.

As India continues to invest in building a knowledge-driven economy, initiatives such as The Noemara Elara Foundation demonstrate how grassroots interventions can contribute to developing the next generation of informed, confident, and economically empowered citizens. Through youth-led innovation and community engagement, the foundation is helping ensure that quality education extends beyond textbooks to prepare students for life, careers, and leadership.

Mr. Ajitesh Basani, Executive Director, Acharya Bangalore B School (ABBS), Bengaluru

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], July 24: For decades, students pursued management education to secure leadership roles in multinational companies, consulting firms and financial institutions. Today, however, a new aspiration is shaping management education. Instead of asking, “Which company will hire me?”, many students are asking, “What business can I build?”

This shift reflects a broader transformation in the global economy. Innovation, digital technologies and startup ecosystems have made entrepreneurship a realistic and rewarding career path. As a result, MBAin Entrepreneurship is emerging as a preferred choice for students who aspire to become job creators rather than job seekers.

India’s Startup Boom Is Fuelling Entrepreneurial Aspirations

India’s entrepreneurial ecosystem has grown at an extraordinary pace over the last decade. According to the Government of India’s Startup India initiative, more than 1.8 lakh startups have been officially recognised, generating over 17 lakh direct jobs. India is also the third-largest startup ecosystem in the world, with more than 110 unicorns across sectors such as fintech, health tech, aggrotech, artificial intelligence and sustainability.

The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) 2024/25 Report further highlights that young adults between 18 and 34 years show the strongest entrepreneurial intentions globally. For today’s students, entrepreneurship is no longer viewed as a risky alternative, it is increasingly becoming a mainstream career choice backed by innovation, investment and government support.

Why Students Want More Than a Traditional MBA

While conventional MBA programmes continue to provide a strong foundation in finance, marketing, operations and strategy, the demands of today’s business environment have changed significantly. Organisations are looking for professionals who can innovate, adapt quickly and solve complex problems.

The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 identifies analytical thinking, creative thinking, resilience, leadership, AI literacy and adaptability among the fastest-growing workplace skills. These are also the defining qualities of successful entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurship education develops these capabilities by encouraging students to identify opportunities, validate ideas, manage uncertainty and create value. Whether graduates launch their own ventures or join established organisations, entrepreneurial thinking has become an essential management skill.

Learning by Building Businesses

One of the biggest differences between a traditional MBA and an MBA in Entrepreneurship lies in the learning experience. Students today want practical exposure rather than purely theoretical knowledge.

Across leading business schools worldwide, entrepreneurship education focuses on building real businesses instead of only analysing case studies. Students learn by interacting with customers, developing prototypes, testing business models, pitching to investors and launching ventures. This experiential approach develops confidence, resilience and decision-making skills that cannot be acquired through classroom lectures alone.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence has further accelerated this trend. AI-powered tools now enable entrepreneurs to conduct market research, create business plans, build websites, automate operations and market products more efficiently than ever before. Technology has lowered the barriers to starting a business, making entrepreneurship more accessible to young graduates.

The MBA of the Future

The success of business schools will increasingly be measured not only by placement statistics but also by the startups they nurture, the innovations they create and the employment opportunities their graduates generate.

Entrepreneurship today extends beyond launching startups. It includes transforming family businesses, building social enterprises, creating digital brands and driving innovation within large organisations through intrapreneurship. Consequently, employers also value graduates with entrepreneurial mindsets because they bring initiative, creativity and problem-solving abilities to the workplace.

The MBA of the future will therefore prepare students not only to manage businesses but also to build and transform them.

ABBS: Where Your Business Becomes the Classroom

Recognising this shift in management education, Acharya Bangalore BSchool (ABBS) has launched its pioneering MBA in Entrepreneurship for the 2026-27 academic year. The two-year, full-time programme, affiliated with Bangalore University, is designed around a unique philosophy: “Your Business is the classroom.”

The programme guides students through every stage of venture creationfrom idea generation and market validation to business planning, company registration, prototype development, fundraising and business launch. The goal is simple yet ambitious: every successful student should graduate not only with a recognised MBA degree but also with a running business.

Students receive 100+ hours of expert mentoring from entrepreneurs and industry leaders while benefiting from legal support, website development assistance, investor access and dedicated guidance throughout the programme. Strong partnerships with organisations such as SIDBI, MSME, KSCST, EDII, NSIC, FKCCI and K-Tech, along with entrepreneurial networks including TiE, ENACTUS and the National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN), provide students with valuable exposure to India’s startup ecosystem.

The programme encourages ventures across high-growth sectors including Artificial Intelligence, Sustainability, Social Entrepreneurship, E-Commerce, Import-Export, Retail, Rural Development and other emerging industries, ensuring that students are prepared to build businesses aligned with the country’s future economic priorities.

MBA in Entrepreneurship: The Way Forward

Management education is entering a new era. As industries evolve and innovation becomes the cornerstone of economic growth, students are increasingly seeking programmes that equip them to create value rather than simply manage it.

The growing preference for MBA in Entrepreneurship reflects this changing mindset. The leaders of tomorrow will not be defined only by the organisations they join, but by the opportunities they create, the problems they solve and the impact they leave on society. Business schools that nurture this entrepreneurial spirit will play a defining role in shaping India’s next generation of innovators and business leaders.

That is the future of management education. And it is already here.

New Delhi: The Central government appears to be on the back foot concerning the ongoing NEET paper leak case. Opposition parties have been relentlessly increasing pressure on the Modi government over the issue.

Amidst this escalating situation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a significant decision today, Thursday, announcing a strict stance on the matter.

Fast-Track Courts to Expedite Justice

Sources indicate that PM Modi has declared the NEET paper leak case will now be heard in fast-track courts. The primary objective is to ensure that those accused of the paper leak receive swift punishment.

The Prime Minister has already issued directives to concerned officials, instructing them to commence work immediately. This move signals a strong intent to address the controversy with urgency.

PM's Assurance to Students

Earlier, during the NDA's 'Mangal Milan meeting' on Tuesday, the Prime Minister had emphasized that the future of the nation's youth remains a top priority for his government.

He reiterated that all necessary decisions would be taken to ensure no student suffers any disadvantage due to such incidents. PM Modi shared this crucial update via a post on social media platform 'X'.

A Strong Warning from the Prime Minister

In his post, PM Modi stated, "Nothing is more important than the welfare and future of our youth! We have decided to set up fast-track courts to ensure quick and strict punishment for those involved in paper leaks. Directed concerned officers and authorities to take all necessary steps in this regard. This continues our series of steps to protect the interests of students. Those who try to harm the future of our youth will not be spared."

He further issued a clear warning, reaffirming that securing the future of the country's youth is the government's responsibility, and they will not shy away from it. He stressed that those who dared to commit such an act will face severe punishment and will not be spared, which is why fast-track courts have been constituted.

This decision by Prime Minister Modi is expected to bring a sense of relief to millions of students across the country who appear for the NEET examination every year, hoping for a fair chance at their future.

New Delhi [India], July 22: As participation in India’s financial markets continues to grow, so does the need for structured, responsible and research-oriented trading education. New traders often enter the market expecting quick results, but sustainable participation requires a strong understanding of market structure, risk management, trading psychology and analytical discipline.

NEXGEN Trading Academy is addressing this need through educational programmes centred on Elliott Wave Theory, Neo Wave Analysis, Fibonacci Studies, Time Analysis and Market Structure. Following the establishment of its learning centres in Ranchi and Hyderabad, the academy is now preparing to expand its educational network to Bengaluru, one of India’s leading centres for technology, entrepreneurship and financial innovation.

The proposed Bengaluru expansion represents another important step in the academy’s mission to make advanced technical-analysis education accessible to aspiring traders, investors, finance students, working professionals and entrepreneurs across India.

Understanding Markets Through Structure and Time

NEXGEN Trading Academy follows the principle that market movements should not be interpreted through price alone. Although candlestick patterns, indicators and price action are valuable analytical tools, they provide only part of the broader market picture.

The academy teaches students to evaluate markets through an integrated framework consisting of:

• Price: Understanding the direction, strength and magnitude of market movements.
• Structure: Identifying impulsive, corrective and complex market formations.
• Time: Examining probable time windows during which changes in market behaviour may develop.
• Momentum: Evaluating the strength and internal quality of a developing trend.
• Psychology: Understanding how collective fear, confidence, greed and uncertainty influence market behaviour.
• This integrated methodology is intended to help students develop a more comprehensive understanding of financial markets instead of relying on isolated indicators or unverified trading calls.

Three Core Analytical Pillars

The academy’s advanced educational methodology is built primarily around three analytical disciplines.

Elliott Wave Theory

Elliott Wave Theory examines how collective investor psychology can create recurring patterns in financial markets. Students learn to distinguish between impulsive and corrective movements, identify potential wave positions and understand how different degrees of trend interact across multiple timeframes.

Neo Wave Analysis

Neo Wave Analysis introduces more advanced rules for evaluating complex market corrections and structural development. It helps students examine whether a proposed wave count is consistent with price, time, complexity and internal market behaviour.

Rather than encouraging arbitrary wave labelling, the academy emphasises logical validation, alternative scenarios and clearly defined invalidation conditions.

Time Analysis

Time Analysis adds another dimension to technical research. Instead of considering only where the market may move, students learn to examine when a meaningful change in behaviour may become more probable.

The academy introduces learners to time cycles, Fibonacci time relationships, recurring market rhythms and time clusters. These tools are used as analytical inputs and not as guarantees of future market outcomes.

Market Education Beyond Conventional Price Action

One of NEXGEN Trading Academy’s educational initiatives is its “NIFTY Pe Charcha” series, presented by Dr. Gaurav Sinha and Mr. Vinay Kohli.

The series discusses NIFTY market structure through the combined lens of Elliott Wave, Neo Wave, price action, momentum and Time Analysis. Its purpose is to demonstrate how professional chart analysis is developed, questioned and refined as new market information becomes available.

During these educational discussions, the presenters may examine:

Developing impulsive or corrective structures.

Important historical support and resistance zones.

Changes in momentum and market behaviour.

Alternative bullish and bearish scenarios.

Probable time-cycle windows.

Conditions that may invalidate an analytical interpretation.

The importance of risk management under uncertain conditions.

The objective is to help viewers understand the analytical process rather than encourage them to copy a trade or act on an isolated market opinion.

Why Time Analysis Matters

Traditional technical analysis commonly focuses on price, volume, chart patterns and indicators. These tools can help explain how a market has behaved, but traders must also understand that a technically significant price level does not always produce an immediate reversal.

Time Analysis helps students evaluate whether price structure and market timing are approaching a meaningful alignment. When multiple analytical factors converge within the same period, a potential change in market behaviour may become more relevant for further observation.

However, such alignments remain probabilistic. For this reason, NEXGEN Trading Academy teaches students to use confirmation, invalidation and risk-management principles alongside every market interpretation.

What Students Learn at NEXGEN Trading Academy

The academy offers structured programmes for beginners, intermediate learners and experienced traders. Depending on the selected course, students may receive training in:

• Financial-market fundamentals
• Candlestick and chart-pattern analysis
• Technical indicators and momentum studies
• Trendlines and channel analysis
• Elliott Wave Theory
• Neo Wave Analysis
• Fibonacci price and time relationships
• Time-cycle analysis
• Market-structure identification
• Intraday, swing and positional trading concepts
• Risk management
• Trading psychology
• Trading-journal development
• Multi-timeframe chart analysis
• Investment and portfolio-risk principles
• Live and historical chart interpretation

Concepts are supported through chart assignments, market case studies, doubt-resolution sessions and practical exercises. This approach enables students to test their understanding and learn from analytical errors in a structured environment.

Education Designed for Different Market Participants

NEXGEN Trading Academy’s programmes are suitable for:

• Beginners entering the financial markets.
• Intraday and swing traders.
• Positional traders and long-term investors.
• Working professionals.
• Finance students and aspiring analysts.
• Business owners and entrepreneurs.
• Experienced traders seeking advanced wave and time-analysis knowledge.

Learners are encouraged to progress from foundational concepts to more advanced structural methodologies. This systematic approach helps prevent the confusion that may arise when complex analytical techniques are introduced without adequate preparation.

Expanding NEXGEN’s Educational Presence

NEXGEN Trading Academy currently serves learners through its centres in:

Doranda, Ranchi

Kokar, Ranchi

Hyderabad

The proposed Bengaluru centre will extend the academy’s reach to a city known for its strong professional community, entrepreneurial ecosystem and growing interest in financial markets.

NEXGEN Trading Academy is also inviting applications from suitable entrepreneurs and education-focused professionals interested in becoming its Bengaluru franchise partner. The academy is seeking individuals who share its commitment to ethical communication, student development and structured financial-market education.

Developing Independent and Disciplined Analysts

NEXGEN Trading Academy does not position technical analysis as a shortcut to guaranteed profits. Its educational philosophy is based on the understanding that markets remain uncertain and that no analytical framework can eliminate risk.

Students are therefore taught to:

Work with probabilities instead of certainties.

Consider alternative market scenarios.

Define invalidation conditions before acting.

Control position size and financial exposure.

Avoid emotional and impulsive decisions.

Review both successful and unsuccessful analyses.

Maintain consistency through documented trading rules.

This approach reflects the academy’s belief that:

Money is a by-product of knowledge, discipline and risk management.

Building the Next Generation of Market Participants

Under the leadership of Dr. Gaurav Sinha, Founder and Market Cycle Analyst, and Mr. Vinay Kohli, Co-Founder, NEXGEN Trading Academy continues to develop an educational ecosystem built around advanced technical analysis, practical market learning and responsible risk management.

By combining Elliott Wave, Neo Wave, Fibonacci, momentum and Time Analysis, the academy aims to help learners understand not only the possible direction of a market movement but also its structure, timing and underlying behavioural context.

With established centres in Ranchi and Hyderabad and a proposed expansion into Bengaluru, NEXGEN Trading Academy is strengthening its commitment to developing informed, disciplined and independently thinking market participants across India.

Cadets in Training at CAA’s Neemuch Airfield

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], July 21: Somewhere above the Arabian Peninsula right now, there is a good chance a pilot trained in the heartland of India – Madhya Pradesh, to be precise – has their hands on the controls of a jet flying across international skies. They may be in the cockpit of an Emirates Boeing 777, a Qatar Airways Airbus A350, or an Air Arabia narrowbody threading its way across the Gulf. And there is a good chance that the pilot is a graduate of Chimes Aviation Academy (CAA), a DGCA-approved Flying Training Organisation that quietly built itself into one of India’s prominent  pilot training institutions over the past 18 years.

The numbers back this up. More than 1,000 CAA alumni are currently employed across airlines including IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express, Akasa Air, Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Air Arabia – a roster that spans across domestic turboprops to international widebody operations. The academy has logged over 200,000 flight hours since inception, a figure that describes not a school but a functioning training ecosystem.

The bigger question isn’t what CAA has built. It’s why the world’s most prestigious carriers keep recruiting from it.

The Global Backdrop: A Structural Pilot Shortage Fuelling Gulf Demand

To understand why Indian pilots are landing jobs at Emirates, Qatar, and Air Arabia, you need to understand the global context first.

Oliver Wyman, the global management consultancy, estimates a worldwide shortage of nearly 80,000 pilots by 2032. In the Middle East, that shortage is being felt acutely. Emirates has hundreds of aircraft on order, with Airbus A350s and new Boeing 777s arriving through the coming years, and the airline has “revved up” its pilot recruitment drive accordingly. Riyadh Air, a new entrant backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, wants to hire 700 pilots over the next three years alone. Etihad and Qatar Airways continue to recruit pilots as they expand their operations.

For Indian pilots, the arithmetic is compelling. Emirates first officers earn between approximately ₹6.6 lakh and ₹8 lakh per month (AED 26,000–34,000) – tax-free, with housing and travel allowances, education support, and annual leave stacked on top. Compare that with a fresh first officer at an Indian carrier earning ₹1.2–3 lakh per month in the early stages of their career, and the pull becomes obvious. As one junior first officer told a national publication, “The pay is brilliant in Gulf countries. If one gets the opportunity, they’d definitely take it.”

Better pay isn’t the only draw. Structured work hours, clearer career progression, and international prestige all factor in. The result is a talent migration that is accelerating. Indian pilots with high-quality training and English proficiency are being recruited across Asia and the Gulf, contributing to what analysts describe as a domestic talent crunch at the same time as unprecedented domestic fleet expansion.

India’s Aviation Boom – and Its Pilot Paradox

The irony of Indian pilots flying for Gulf carriers is that India has never needed its own pilots more urgently.

India is now the third-largest domestic aviation market in the world. Passenger traffic has exceeded 350 million annually, with projections to reach 715 million by 2030. The market, valued at approximately $15 billion in 2025, is forecast to grow to $25 billion by 2030 at a 15% year-on-year rate. 

Indian airlines have placed some of the most ambitious aircraft orders in global aviation history – Air India has ordered 570 aircraft since 2023 and IndiGo has become the world’s biggest A320 Family customer. While new entrant Akasa Air has over 150 aircraft yet to be delivered from its initial order of 225 Boeing 737 Max aircraft. India’s commercial fleet is projected to reach 1,100 aircraft by 2027 and, per Airbus projections, nearly triple to around 2,200 planes over the next decade.

The pilot math is daunting. Parliamentary disclosures estimate a requirement of 7,000 pilots between 2024 and 2026, rising to 25,000–30,000 over the following decade. But the DGCA has issued only around 7,200 Commercial Pilot Licences (CPLs) between 2020 and 2025. India’s civil aviation minister K Rammohan Naidu stated at the launch of the Electronic Personnel License for pilots that “India will need 20,000 pilots in the coming years.” Some projections estimate that demand could rise to 30,000 pilots over the next 15–20 years as airlines induct more than 1,700 aircraft.

This is not a shortage of aspiration. It is a shortage of structured, quality training capacity that produces airline-ready graduates – that modern jet operations demand.

What Chimes Aviation Academy Actually Built

CAA did not set out to serve the Gulf. It set out to build the right kind of pilot training ecosystem, and the Gulf carriers have simply recognized the quality of pilots that ecosystem produces.

Founded in 2007 and DGCA-approved, CAA operates from airfields at Dhana and Neemuch in Madhya Pradesh, with a Ground Training School in Gurugram, Haryana. Its fleet of 33 aircraft – including Garmin G1000 glass-cockpit Cessna 172s, Tecnam P2010s, Piper Archer DX, and Diamond DA42 twin-engine aircraft – is routinely described as one of India’s youngest and most modern training fleets. Training on glass cockpits from day one is not incidental. It is a deliberate design choice that significantly eases a cadet’s transition into the modern commercial airliner cockpit.

The decision to base flying operations in Madhya Pradesh, made when most aviation investment was clustering around India’s southern and western metros, has proven strategically correct. Madhya Pradesh offers year-round flying conditions, unrestricted practice airspace, and a multi-airfield infrastructure that cross-trains cadets across different environments. Weather delays – a chronic drag on training timelines at many Indian FTOs – are minimised here. The result is that CAA cadets complete training on structured timelines, a factor that matters both to airlines placing cadet program cohorts and to aspirants calculating the return on a ₹35–95 lakh training investment.

The Madhya Pradesh government has taken notice. The MP Civil Aviation Policy 2025, announced by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, is designed to expand air connectivity, pilot training, and private-sector participation across the state’s existing eight airports, 20 airstrips, and 220 helipads – with Ujjain and Shivpuri under development.

In 18-plus years of operations, CAA has maintained one of the lowest incident rates in the Indian FTO sector – a metric that airlines, particularly safety-obsessed Gulf carriers, take seriously.

The IndiGo Cadet Program: A Domestic Pipeline with International Proof Points

CAA operates India’s only homegrown IndiGo Cadet Pilot Program – an association that takes a cadet from zero flying experience to a Commercial Pilot Licence with type rating in 20 months, with graduates, known as Chimes Aviators, entering IndiGo operations directly as junior first officers.

This program has broader industry implications . The existence of a structured approach to pilot training, combining rigorous selection with a defined pathway to airline operations – has produced graduates with qualities that are increasingly valued by recruiters across the aviation industry. 

When a Gulf airlines recruiter sees a Chimes Aviator with clean DGCA documentation, glass cockpit hours, multi-engine instrument rating, and a proven track record of airline-standard – discipline, they see someone who requires less additional investment to put in a right-hand seat. That is what Gulf airlines are paying for – not just hours, but airline-readiness.

The Chimes Aviator Profile: Why Gulf Carriers Are Interested

Several factors make Chimes graduates attractive to international carriers specifically, not just domestic ones.

Glass-cockpit training from day one. The G1000 avionics suite used in CAA’s fleet mirrors the navigation and avionics philosophy of modern commercial jets. Pilots who have trained on glass panels adapt faster during type rating and sim assessment – a measurable advantage at airline selection.

Multi-airfield cross-training. Operating from Dhana and Neemuch gives cadets exposure to different airfield environments, taxiway configurations, and operational procedures. This breadth is unusual in Indian FTO training and correlates with stronger situational awareness scores during airline simulator checks.

Safety culture and low incident rates. CAA’s 18-year safety record in a sector where DGCA has documented ongoing concerns about other FTOs speaks directly to the kind of culture embedded during training. Gulf carriers have zero tolerance for safety shortcuts – and they can research an FTO’s history.

Strong English proficiency. ICAO-standard English language proficiency is non-negotiable for international operations. CAA’s urban ground school in Gurugram and its structured theoretical training produces graduates with the language competency Gulf operators need for multi-national cockpit environments.

Alumni network effects. With Chimes Aviators already flying for Emirates, Qatar, and Air Arabia, there is a self-reinforcing referral dynamic. Experienced pilots recommend their training institutions. Recruiters return to talent pools that have delivered. The brand recognition that CAA has built inside airline HR departments is a consequence of consistent graduate quality over years, not a marketing exercise.

The Bigger Question India Should Be Asking

The success of CAA graduates at Gulf carriers is a genuine achievement – for the academy, and for those individual pilots whose careers have taken them from an airstrip in Madhya Pradesh to a widebody cockpit over the Gulf. But it surfaces a policy tension that Indian aviation needs to address directly.

India is, in effect, training pilots for the world. The DGCA issues roughly 1200-1600 new CPLs per year against a domestic demand that industry experts say requires 1,700–1,800 new pilots annually just to service ordered aircraft. Flying Training Organisations have also lost 40–50% of experienced instructors to the airlines – a double constraint on the supply pipeline. Meanwhile, Indian carriers have relied on around 236 temporary Foreign Aircrew Temporary Authorisation (FATA) licences in 2025 to fill cockpit seats with expat pilots at premiums over domestic rates.

The structural question is not whether Indian pilots should pursue Gulf careers – that is an individual’s choice, and the financial logic is sound. The question is whether India’s pilot training infrastructure can scale fast enough to serve both the domestic expansion and the international demand that quality training generates.

Madhya Pradesh to the Middle East

Eighteen years ago, Chimes Aviation Academy set up airfields in a part of India that most aviation investors ignored. The geography was deliberate – clear skies, unrestricted airspace, minimal weather disruption – and the training philosophy that emerged from it was equally deliberate: produce pilots who are airline-ready before they walk into a selection centre, not pilots who merely hold a licence.

The result is over 1,000 working commercial pilots. Many fly for IndiGo and others have their hands on the throttles of Airbus and Boeing jets over the Arabian Sea, in the employ of the world’s most demanding international carriers.

India trained them. The Gulf hired them. And the question now is whether India can build enough of this kind of training capacity to keep pace with its own extraordinary aviation ambition.

Every year, thousands of students across India appear for NEET with one dream, to earn a seat in a Government Medical College. While many institutions celebrate individual toppers, only a few create an ecosystem where excellence becomes a culture rather than an exception.

The remarkable NEET-UG 2026 results of Genesis Classes, Karnal, reflect precisely that culture.

This year, the institute delivered one of its finest performances, with more than 70 students scoring above 600 marks and over 175 students earning the opportunity to pursue MBBS in Government Medical Colleges. The achievement has established Genesis as one of the leading medical entrance coaching institutions in the country, reaffirming the trust that thousands of students and parents have placed in it over the years.

Leading this exceptional performance was Chetanya Kumar, who secured 691 marks (AIR 95), followed by Panav Sukhija (690 marks, AIR 127). Paras Saroha achieved 685 marks (AIR 7 – SC), while Hritik Raj secured 685 marks (AIR 8 – EWS). Along with them, dozens of Genesis students surpassed the 600-mark milestone, showcasing the institution’s consistency and academic strength.

The list of high achievers continued with Uday Bhanu Partap and Divyam Luthra (675 marks each), Arnav Dhawan (671), Harshita (662), Raghav Arora and Prasanjeet Singh (660 each), Mitul (654), Aastha (652), Armaan Goyal and Gurdiksha (650 each).

The institute also witnessed outstanding performances from Ritesh Kumar (647), Manshika Sharma (646), Lovish Chauhan (645), Nihar, Yashika Zinder, Devyansh, Pragya Rana, and Bhawya Sharma (640 each), followed by several other students who scored well above 600 marks, reflecting the depth of academic excellence nurtured at Genesis Classes.

Yet, behind every rank lies a philosophy that numbers cannot measure.

Under the leadership of Mr Jitender Singh Ahlawat (Founder) and Mr Navneet Kalhan (Managing Director) of Genesis Classes and the other team of Genesis Classes, the institution has consistently believed that education is not merely about preparing students for competitive examinations, it is about preparing them for a lifetime of responsibility.

Conversations with students and parents reveal a common belief. For them, Genesis is far more than a coaching institute. It is a place where experienced educators, mentors, and academic teams work together to nurture discipline, confidence, conceptual clarity, and perseverance. The focus has never been limited to helping students clear an examination; it has always been about helping them discover the best version of themselves.

Perhaps that is why, when the results were announced, the celebration extended beyond ranks and scorecards.

The Genesis campus came alive with joy as successful students were welcomed with flower garlands, traditional turbans, and sweets. Parents embraced their children with tears of pride, celebrating years of sacrifice that had finally become reality. One mother’s heartfelt words captured the emotion of the day:

“Aaj mera sapna poora hua… meri beti doctor banegi.”

The students, too, expressed their gratitude in the simplest yet most meaningful way:

“Genesis Best Hai Yaar!”

For the management, however, the real achievement was never confined to numbers.

Reflecting on the historic performance, Mr Jitender Singh Ahlawat said that every successful student represents a family’s dream fulfilled and a future doctor who will contribute to society. He expressed gratitude to the parents for their unwavering trust and dedicated the achievement to the collective efforts of the faculty, academic team, hardworking students, and supportive families who made this success possible.

As India continues to witness increasing competition in medical education, Genesis Classes has demonstrated that extraordinary results are not built overnight. They are built through years of trust, academic excellence, disciplined mentorship, and an unwavering commitment to student success.

The success of NEET-UG 2026 is therefore more than an outstanding academic achievement—it is a reflection of an institution where education is treated as a responsibility, dreams are nurtured with sincerity, and success becomes the natural outcome of a purpose-driven learning environment.

New Delhi [India], July 21: Germany has established itself as one of the world’s most sought-after destinations for higher education, attracting thousands of international students each year with its globally recognized universities, research-driven education system, affordable tuition fees, and strong career opportunities. However, gaining admission to a competitive master’s program in Germany is no longer based solely on academic performance. Universities increasingly seek applicants who can demonstrate strong analytical thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving abilities—skills that indicate readiness for the demands of postgraduate education.

This is where the Digital Master Admission Test (dMAT) becomes an important part of the admission process. Unlike traditional examinations that primarily assess subject knowledge, the dMAT evaluates cognitive abilities that are directly relevant to academic success. The exam measures how effectively you interpret information, identify logical relationships, solve unfamiliar problems, and make sound decisions under time constraints. These are the same skills students are expected to use throughout their studies in Germany, particularly in research-oriented and application-based learning environments.

A competitive dMAT score does more than strengthen your university application—it provides admissions committees with additional evidence of your academic potential beyond grades alone. For many applicants, especially those targeting selective master’s programs, a strong performance in the dMAT can improve both their confidence and their overall admission prospects.

Why Students Choose Yastudy for Their Germany Education Journey

Preparing for the dMAT is only one part of the Germany admission journey. Students must also choose the right universities, understand varying admission requirements, prepare compelling application documents, manage APS certification, meet application deadlines, and complete visa formalities. Even academically strong candidates can face delays or missed opportunities if these steps are not planned carefully.

At Yastudy, we help students navigate this journey with a structured and personalized approach. From university shortlisting and dMAT preparation to application guidance, documentation support, and visa assistance, our Germany education specialists work closely with students at every stage of the admission process. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice, we focus on helping each student build an admission strategy that aligns with their academic profile and career goals.

Today, Yastudy supports aspiring international students across 41+ countries, providing access to 12,000+ universities and 100,000+ courses worldwide. Our dedicated Germany admission experts understand the unique requirements of German universities and help students prepare with confidence, clarity, and a well-defined roadmap toward their education goals.

Building an Effective dMAT Preparation Strategy

Success in the dMAT is not determined by how many hours you study—it’s determined by how strategically you prepare. Since the exam is designed to evaluate analytical thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving ability, your preparation should focus on developing these skills rather than memorizing information. A well-planned preparation strategy helps you build confidence gradually while ensuring that every important area of the exam receives adequate attention.

One of the first steps is understanding the exam pattern, question types, and scoring methodology. Before creating a study schedule, familiarize yourself with what each section evaluates and how questions are presented. This allows you to prepare with purpose instead of studying randomly. Once you understand the exam structure, create a realistic study plan that balances concept building, practice sessions, revision, and mock tests while giving extra attention to weaker areas.

Many students make the mistake of collecting study materials from multiple websites, YouTube channels, and online forums without following a structured learning sequence. While these resources can be useful, relying on too many sources often leads to confusion and inconsistent preparation. Following a structured roadmap allows students to build concepts systematically before progressing to higher-difficulty questions and full-length practice tests.

Learn From Your Mistakes, Not Just Your Scores

One of the biggest differences between average and high-performing candidates is how they review their practice sessions. Many students complete mock tests, check their scores, and immediately move on to the next test. However, real improvement comes from understanding why mistakes occurred.

After every mock test or sectional assessment, review:

• Questions answered incorrectly and the reason behind each mistake.
• Questions answered correctly but with low confidence or guesswork.
• Topics where similar mistakes are repeated.
• Time spent on each section and whether it affected accuracy.
• Areas that require additional revision before the next practice session.

This process transforms every mock test into a learning opportunity rather than simply an evaluation.

Common Mistakes Students Make During dMAT Preparation

Through years of guiding students for Germany admissions, certain preparation mistakes appear repeatedly. Being aware of these challenges early can help you prepare more effectively.

• Beginning mock test practice only a few days before the exam.
• Spending too much time on familiar topics while avoiding weaker sections.
• Memorizing shortcuts instead of understanding the underlying reasoning process.
• Ignoring performance analysis after practice tests.
• Studying without following a consistent weekly schedule.

Avoiding these mistakes allows students to improve steadily while building both confidence and exam readiness.

The Role of Mentorship in Effective Preparation

Preparing independently is possible, but expert guidance often helps students avoid unnecessary trial and error. Experienced mentors do more than explain concepts—they help students identify inefficient study habits, improve logical reasoning, develop better time-management strategies, and approach unfamiliar questions with confidence.

Regular doubt-solving sessions, personalized feedback, and performance reviews provide students with a clear understanding of where they are improving and where additional effort is required. Instead of simply measuring scores, continuous mentorship helps students refine their preparation strategy throughout the learning journey.

How Yastudy Supports Your Germany Admission Journey

Preparing for the dMAT is only one part of securing admission to a German university. Students must also identify suitable universities, understand program-specific requirements, prepare application documents, meet important deadlines, complete APS certification where applicable, and navigate the visa process. Managing these responsibilities alongside exam preparation can be challenging without a clear plan.

At Yastudy, we simplify this journey by providing structured guidance from the initial planning stage through to university admission. Our Germany education specialists work closely with students to understand their academic background, career aspirations, and preferred study options before creating a personalized admission roadmap. This ensures that every step—from university shortlisting to final application submission—is planned strategically.

Structured dMAT preparation with expert guidance

A well-designed preparation program helps students build confidence progressively instead of relying on last-minute study. Through comprehensive study materials, live learning sessions, regular practice exercises, and full-length mock tests, students develop the analytical and logical reasoning skills assessed in the dMAT. Continuous mentor support also helps them resolve doubts quickly and stay focused throughout their preparation.

Personalized feedback that supports continuous improvement

Every student has different strengths and learning needs. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, personalized performance reviews help identify weaker areas, track progress over time, and recommend targeted improvement strategies. This enables students to prepare more efficiently while steadily improving their confidence before the examination.

End-to-end support beyond the examination

Preparing for Germany involves much more than achieving a good dMAT score. Once students complete their preparation, guidance continues through university applications, document verification, statement of purpose review, visa assistance, and pre-departure support. Having expert assistance throughout the process allows students to focus on their academic goals while reducing the uncertainty that often accompanies international admissions.

Today, Yastudy supports aspiring students across 41+ countries, providing access to 12,000+ universities and 100,000+ courses worldwide. By combining academic preparation with comprehensive admission guidance, we help students approach their Germany education journey with greater clarity, confidence, and preparedness.

Building on over 25 years of excellence in sustainability, higher education, and research.

New Delhi [India], July 20: For generations, choosing an undergraduate degree meant selecting a single discipline and building a career around it. Today, that approach is rapidly changing. As industries become increasingly interconnected, employers are seeking graduates who can think beyond traditional academic boundaries, combine knowledge from multiple fields, and adapt to emerging challenges.

From artificial intelligence and biotechnology to sustainability and data analytics, many of the careers shaping the future no longer fit neatly within one subject. This evolution is encouraging universities to rethink how undergraduate education is designed, moving away from rigid academic structures towards flexible, interdisciplinary learning that allows students to develop both specialised expertise and broader perspectives.

The careers emerging today rarely belong to a single discipline. Whether it is economics with data analytics, environmental studies with economics, or management with sustainability, graduates with expertise across complementary disciplines are better equipped to address evolving industry and societal needs. This interdisciplinary approach develops the knowledge, adaptability, and problem-solving skills increasingly expected across industry, research, and the public sector.

Recognising these changing expectations, TERI School of Advanced Studies (TERI SAS), a UGC-recognised Deemed-to-be University established by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), is reimagining undergraduate education through interdisciplinary learning, flexible academic pathways, and a research-led approach to teaching. Building on TERI’s internationally recognised legacy in sustainability research and policy, the university prepares students to understand and address real-world challenges across science, business, technology, public policy, and the environment.

Academic Flexibility for Modern Careers

One of the defining features of this new approach to undergraduate education is the flexibility it offers students to shape their academic journey. Through a Major and Minor structure, students can combine complementary disciplines to build a stronger and more relevant academic profile.

Imagine a student pursuing a Major in Economics while choosing a Minor in Data Science. Alongside developing a strong understanding of economic theory and policy, they also gain analytical and computational skills that are increasingly valued across finance, consulting, government, and research.

At TERI SAS, this interdisciplinary approach is embedded across undergraduate programmes, enabling students to personalise their learning while connecting knowledge across disciplines to suit their interests and career aspirations.

Aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) enables students to graduate with an Honours or Honours with a Research degree. Selected programmes also offer an integrated Master’s pathway, creating a seamless progression for students wishing to pursue higher studies.

Learning Beyond the Classroom

Beyond the curriculum, TERI School of Advanced Studies (TERI SAS) provides a research-oriented learning environment where science, business, technology, economics, and sustainability intersect. Students engage with contemporary challenges while developing critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills that are valued across professions.

Learning also extends beyond academics through student-led clubs and campus activities that encourage leadership, teamwork, and personal development, helping students build skills and experiences outside the classroom.

Located in the heart of New Delhi, at Vasant Kunj, the university offers access to government institutions, research organisations, and industry, creating opportunities that complement classroom learning. For students relocating from other cities, TERI SAS also offers on-campus hostel facilities for girls, providing a supportive residential environment as they pursue their academic journey.

Building on TERI’s recognised legacy in sustainability research and policy, TERI SAS connects classroom learning with real-world challenges, preparing graduates for careers in industry, research, public policy and higher education through a multidisciplinary perspective.

“The future of undergraduate education lies in preparing students to think beyond disciplinary boundaries. As industries evolve and societal challenges become more interconnected, universities must create opportunities for students to combine knowledge, engage with research, and develop the confidence to understand and solve real-world problems. At TERI SAS, our Four-Year Undergraduate Programmes, with options for Honours and Honours with Research, encourage students to build strong disciplinary foundations while exploring ideas across fields through interdisciplinary learning and research.”
– Prof. Suman Kumar Dhar, Vice-Chancellor, TERI SAS

Kanpur is abuzz with fresh allegations surrounding the NEET UG 2026 re-exam results. A local student, Arya Singh, has openly challenged the National Testing Agency's (NTA) scoring process, claiming a shocking drop in her marks shortly after the results were declared.

Singh's case highlights a concerning discrepancy: her OMR sheet, she says, indicated a score of 609. However, the final result, upon initial checking, displayed 540 marks, only to plummet to a mere 167 just a couple of hours later. The student has now escalated the matter, filing a complaint with both the NTA and the Ministry of Education, demanding a thorough investigation.

The OMR Sheet Discrepancy

Arya detailed that her OMR sheet, uploaded on the NTA website on the night of July 13, initially had incorrect question sequencing. Despite this, cross-referencing her answers suggested an estimated score of 609 marks.

She promptly raised an objection on the NTA's challenge portal regarding the OMR sheet's question order. Following her complaint, the NTA released a revised OMR sheet. While the question sequence was corrected, Arya claims the marks remained inaccurate.

A Dramatic Drop on Result Night

The real shock came on the night of July 16, when the NEET UG results were officially published. Arya first checked her score around midnight, seeing 540 marks. Yet, when she re-checked approximately two hours later, her score had dropped significantly to 167.

This drastic change in such a short span has led her to question the integrity of the result system. Currently, the NTA website reflects her score as 167, placing her All India Rank at 12,52,036 and Category Rank at 3,67,585.

Second Attempt, Second Allegation of Irregularity

This isn't Arya's first brush with alleged result issues. She states that during her first NEET attempt in 2025, she encountered a similar problem. Lacking sufficient documentation and evidence at the time, she couldn't formally register a complaint.

This year, however, she has meticulously gathered her OMR sheet, result printouts, and other relevant documents. These have been submitted along with her complaint to the NTA and the Education Minister. Arya has vowed to take her grievance to the offices of the President, Prime Minister, and Chief Minister if her complaint goes unaddressed.

Daughter of a Retired Army Veteran

Arya Singh is the daughter of Rakesh Singh, a retired army veteran who served the nation for 24 years with the Rajputana Rifles, retiring in 2025. Her father's service included a posting in Jammu and Kashmir's Nowgam area. Her mother, Priyam Singh, is a homemaker, and her younger brother, Ayush, is pursuing a BA degree. Arya completed her 12th-grade education from Sardar Patel Academy in Kanpur.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has rolled out crucial regulations regarding fee refunds for students who withdraw their admissions from colleges and universities. This move comes as a significant relief for many, addressing a long-standing issue where institutions often withheld substantial amounts of fees upon cancellation.

If you've ever faced a situation where a college or university refused to refund your fees after an admission cancellation, these new UGC directives are essential to understand. They aim to standardize the process and protect students' financial interests.

Understanding the Refund Timelines and Percentages

Higher education institutions are now strictly required to adhere to these prescribed fee refund rules for the academic session. The guidelines outline a clear, tiered system for refunds based on the timing of the admission cancellation relative to the last admission date.

• 100% Refund: If the admission is cancelled 15 days or more before the officially declared last date for admission.
• 90% Refund: If the admission is cancelled within 15 days of the last admission date.
• 80% Refund: If the admission is cancelled after 15 days but within 30 days of the last admission date.
• No Refund: No refund will be provided if the admission is cancelled 30 days after the last admission date.

These rules ensure that students have a clear pathway to reclaim their fees, preventing arbitrary deductions by institutions. It’s a move designed to bring transparency and fairness to the admission ecosystem.

Empowering Students with Clear Guidelines

This directive from the UGC is a vital step towards safeguarding student welfare. It empowers prospective students to make informed decisions without the fear of losing their entire fee if they decide to pursue a different academic path or find a better opportunity elsewhere.

Students are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with these regulations. Knowing your rights can make a significant difference when navigating the admission process and dealing with fee-related matters.

New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has just announced the results for the Class 10 second board examination 2026. Students eager to check their performance can head over to the Digilocker result portal.

This year marked a significant shift, as the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 introduced the option for Class 10 students to appear for two board examinations. This initiative was designed to give students a chance to better their scores and ease the pressure of a single high-stakes exam. CBSE has clarified that for regular candidates, the better score from the two examinations will be considered as the final result.

Thousands Seize Opportunity to Boost Marks

According to CBSE, a total of 6,64,027 students registered for the second board examination, with 6,63,777 actually appearing. A large number of these students took the second exam specifically to improve upon their initial scores.

The numbers speak volumes: out of 5,13,955 students who attempted to improve their marks, an impressive 3,08,095 students – nearly 59.95 percent – performed better than their main examination results. This clearly shows the positive impact of having a second chance.

Compartment Category Sees Improvement Too

The second board exam also saw 1,49,822 students from the compartment category take the test. A good chunk of them, 78,503 students, were successful, bringing the pass percentage for this group to 52.40 percent. This is a notable rise from the 48.68 percent recorded in the compartment category last year in 2025.

Bringing together the results from both the main and second board examinations, CBSE reported that the overall Class 10 pass percentage for this year stands at a strong 96.78 percent. The board believes this two-exam system has effectively reduced student stress and offered a valuable opportunity for improvement.

Accessing Your Documents

Students can access their results directly on the Digilocker result portal. Schools will receive students' results and digital academic documents via their registered email IDs. Regular students will get their mark sheets and passing certificates through their respective schools.

For CBSE-affiliated schools abroad, students can also access their digital documents via Digilocker. Private candidates will find their digital documents on Digilocker, while their mark sheets will be mailed to their registered addresses. Private students from Delhi East and Delhi West regional offices also have the option to collect their certificates from their examination centers.

Beware of Unofficial Information

CBSE has urged students and parents to stay clear of unverified social media posts, rumors, or any unofficial information related to the results. The board emphasized that all official announcements regarding results and post-result services, like re-evaluation, will only be issued through CBSE's authorized channels. For any assistance or information, students can reach out to CBSE's regional offices and tele-helpline.

New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to implement a significant change regarding its Class 10th pass certificate. From the academic session 2026-27, students will need to mandatorily pass a third language to receive their Class 10th certificate.

This new directive means that a student's performance in a third language will directly impact their eligibility for the final pass certificate. Currently, students typically study two languages up to Class 10.

Understanding the New Mandate

Under the upcoming rule, students will be required to study and pass a third language from Class 6th to 8th. Crucially, if a student fails in this third language examination, they will not be issued the Class 10th pass certificate.

The marks obtained in this third language will be factored into the final certificate. Should a student not clear the third language, they will be given the opportunity to reappear for the examination.

Aligning with National Education Policy 2020

Sources indicate that this decision aligns with the objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The NEP 2020 strongly emphasizes the promotion of multilingualism and the strengthening of Indian languages across the curriculum.

By making a third language mandatory, CBSE aims to enhance students' linguistic foundations and expose them to a broader range of languages. This policy will also extend to students studying in CBSE-affiliated schools outside India, ensuring a uniform approach.

The move is expected to prepare students better for a linguistically diverse world, fostering a deeper appreciation for various languages and cultures. Schools will need to adapt their curriculum and assessment strategies to integrate this new requirement effectively.

In a crucial update for aspiring medical students across the nation, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has officially released the seat matrix for undergraduate MBBS courses, excluding Institutes of National Importance (INIs), for the academic year 2026-27. This announcement, coming just ahead of the NEET UG results, confirms a substantial increase in available medical education opportunities.

According to the notice issued by the Medical Assessment & Rating Board (MARB) of the NMC on July 14, 2026, a total of 1,36,939 MBBS seats are now available. These seats are spread across 823 medical colleges throughout the country, marking a significant expansion in medical education infrastructure.

Nearly 10,000 New Seats Added

The latest matrix reveals an impressive addition of 9,911 new MBBS seats this year. This brings the total count to 1,36,939, with 1,27,028 seats being renewed from existing capacities. The newly increased seats are a game-changer for many candidates eyeing a career in medicine.

A closer look shows that 2,400 of these new seats come from 25 newly established medical colleges. This includes 400 seats distributed across seven new government medical colleges and a substantial 2,000 seats from 18 new private medical institutions, reflecting growth in both public and private sectors.

State-Wise Distribution and College Landscape

The breakdown between government and private institutions offers further clarity. Government medical colleges now total 441, collectively offering 63,296 seats. Of these, 61,185 are renewed, and 2,111 are newly increased.

Private medical colleges account for 382 institutions with a larger share of 73,643 total seats. This figure includes 65,843 renewed seats and a significant 7,800 newly increased seats, showcasing a robust expansion in the private sector.

Among states, Karnataka leads the pack with 75 colleges and 15,395 total MBBS seats. Following closely are Tamil Nadu with 78 colleges offering 13,999 seats, and Uttar Pradesh with 88 colleges providing 14,000 seats. Maharashtra features 86 colleges with 13,099 seats, while Telangana has 66 colleges and 10,250 seats, highlighting key hubs for medical education.

Compliance and Oversight for New Additions

The MARB has laid down clear directives for private medical colleges that have received approval for new institutions or an increase in intake capacity. These colleges are mandated to furnish the necessary Electronic Bank Guarantee (E-Bank Guarantee) to the Director, MARB, within seven days from the public notice's issuance date.

Crucially, the Letter of Permission (LoP) will only be issued once the E-Bank Guarantee is received and verified. This step ensures financial compliance and accountability from institutions expanding their intake.

The NMC also clarified that the released seat matrix is not set in stone; it remains subject to revision based on decisions from the Appeal Committee or any other competent authority. Any such revisions will be promptly uploaded on the official NMC website for the benefit of counselling committees at both central and state levels.

Counselling committees have been strictly warned against permitting admissions exceeding the approved and notified seat numbers. Any discrepancies or deviations are to be immediately referred to MARB for clarification, reinforcing the commission's commitment to a transparent and regulated admission process.

Australia is set to implement a significant increase in its student visa application charges, a move that will undoubtedly resonate across the international student community, particularly among Indian nationals. Starting July 2026, the cost for a subclass 500 student visa will jump by a steep 25 per cent, moving from AUD $2,000 to $2,500.

This development comes as India continues to be a major source of international students for Australia. Latest figures show that Indian nationals comprised roughly 17 per cent of Australia's international student population, with over 120,000 students enrolled in the country.

ELICOS Sector Gets a Partial Reprieve

Amidst these changes, the Australian government has made a noteworthy distinction for students pursuing English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students, or ELICOS. While most student visa applicants will face the full 25 per cent hike, ELICOS students will see a separate, comparatively lower fee set at $2,050.

This means that while their fee also nudges up marginally from the previous $2,000, they are largely spared the substantial increase applied to other categories. Every other student category will be paying the full $2,500.

Understanding ELICOS and the Exemption

So, what exactly is ELICOS? These are short, intensive English-language courses designed for international students in Australia. They can be standalone programmes or, more commonly, serve as a bridge course before students embark on a full degree or diploma.

The government's rationale for the lower fee is rooted in the shorter duration of these courses. Unlike a two- or three-year degree, ELICOS programmes can run for just a few weeks or months. Officials have stated that the reduced fee “recognises the shorter length of ELICOS and Non-Award study programs.”

Essentially, the argument that a student paying for a few weeks of English classes shouldn't face the same visa fee as someone enrolling in a multi-year academic programme was accepted. Industry bodies had even pushed for a larger cut, citing falling enrolments, but the government ultimately opted for a modest increase while avoiding the full 25 per cent hike for this sector.

For Indian students considering their study options in Australia, these new fee structures will certainly be a key factor in their planning and budgeting for future academic pursuits.

Leadership meeting at Mari State University ahead of the Grand Convocation Ceremony 2026

New Delhi [India], July 13: Mari State University (MarSU), one of Russia’s leading medical education institutions and a trusted academic partner to thousands of international students, held its Grand Convocation Ceremony on 9th July 2026 in collaboration with Rus Education and the Centre of International Education, celebrating the achievements of its graduating Class of 2026. The ceremony formally conferred degrees upon more than 200 Indian graduates.

The convocation marked a proud milestone for the University and its graduating students, many of whom will go on to serve healthcare systems in their home countries, including a substantial number of Indian students who chose Mari State University for its globally recognised MBBS programme.

Adding grandeur to the occasion, the proud moment was witnessed by a large gathering of parents of Indian students, who watched their children take a defining step forward in their dream of becoming doctors.

The graduates completed a rigorous curriculum aligned with international medical education standards, preparing them for licensure examinations, including India’s FMGE/NExT and equivalent assessments worldwide.

Adding to the significance of this year’s convocation, Rector Mikhail N. Shevtsov unveiled two major initiatives that reaffirm Mari State University’s long-term commitment to its international student community, particularly students from India.

The Rector announced that five students excelling in sports, particularly cricket, football, chess, and other disciplines, will be awarded scholarships at Mari State University.

New Delhi [India], July 10: The right online MBA specialization is the one that fits your career goals, strengths, and where demand is heading — not the option with the loudest headlines. After a decade training MBA students and advising employers across business and technology, my answer never changes: there is no universally “best” specialization. Data Science & AI, Cyber Security, Finance, Marketing, and Human Resource Management each suit a different learner and path. The smartest method is simple — picture the role you want in five years, then choose the specialization that takes you there. What follows is a framework to decide with clarity instead of chasing trends.

Which online MBA specialization is best in 2026?

There is no single best choice for everyone. It depends on your aspirations, background, experience, and the roles you want over the next 5–10 years, as the table below shows.

Your specialization shapes which industries you enter and the skills employers tie to your profile. As AI reshapes every sector, recruiters want domain expertise backed by technology awareness.

MBA in Data Science & AI — who should choose it?

Choose this to combine business strategy with data-driven decision-making. The World Economic Forum lists AI and Big Data among the fastest-growing roles through 2030 and projects 170 million new jobs globally by then — so AI literacy is valuable for leaders, not just engineers. It suits IT professionals, analysts, consultants, and managers, plus non-engineers comfortable with data, since most programs apply analytics to business problems rather than software development. Typical roles: AI Product Manager, Business Analyst, Analytics Consultant, and Digital Transformation Lead.

MBA in Cyber Security — built for the digital risk era

Choose this to lead where business meets security. ISC2 estimates a global cybersecurity workforce gap of roughly 4.8 million professionals — signalling sustained demand. It fits IT practitioners, technology managers, and professionals in governance, risk, or compliance. A technical background helps but isn’t always required; interest in risk management matters more. Coursework spans cyber risk, security strategy, and compliance, leading to roles like Cyber Risk Manager and Information Security Consultant.

MBA in Finance — for analytical and leadership roles

Choose Finance if you’re drawn to financial decision-making, investments, and corporate strategy. It stays one of the most versatile domains in 2026 as analytics reshapes banking and investment, and fits commerce graduates, accountants, and aspiring consultants. Expect corporate finance, investment analysis, risk management, and fintech, with paths into Financial Manager, Investment Analyst, and FinTech Strategist.

MBA in Marketing — the age of AI-powered growth

Choose Marketing to understand customers, build brands, and drive growth with data and AI. Modern marketing reaches well beyond advertising, making it accessible to people from sales, communications, or entrepreneurial backgrounds. Expect consumer behaviour, branding, market research, and analytics, opening doors to Brand Management, Growth Marketing, and Customer Experience.

MBA in Human Resource Management — beyond recruitment

Choose HR if you favour strategy, analytics, and employee experience over hiring alone. Organizations now lean on people analytics and workforce metrics to lift retention and productivity. It suits HR professionals, team leaders, and those drawn to organizational development. Study areas include talent management, workforce planning, and HR technology, leading to roles like HR Business Partner and People Analytics Specialist.

Which specialization fits your background?

Compare Online MBA specializations based on curriculum, flexibility, and career outcomes before making your decision. 

7 questions to ask before you decide

1. What role do I want in five years? Work backwards from the job title.
2. Which industries genuinely interest me — tech, finance, healthcare, consulting, consumer brands?
3. Do I prefer working with data, people, strategy, or finance?
4. Does the curriculum cover AI, analytics, and modern practice?
5. Is the program flexible — online or self-paced?
6. Will I gain practical experience through projects and case studies, not just exams?
7. Will this qualification still matter a decade from now?

The final word

Don’t choose a specialization because it’s trending — choose it because it aligns with where you want to be in five years. The best option isn’t the highest advertised salary; it’s the one that matches your strengths and prepares you for a fast-changing landscape. Ask three things: Can I enjoy this field daily? Will these skills matter in ten years? Does it move me closer to the career I truly want? If yes, you’ve found it.

New Delhi [India], July 10: For 17 years, ExamOnline has answered a fairly narrow question – how do you deliver a secure, tamper-proof exam to someone sitting at a laptop, anywhere in the world? The Mumbai-headquartered platform has answered it well enough to power millions of assessments for 250-plus enterprise clients across 35-plus countries.

Now it’s asking a different question: what happens when the thing you’re testing can’t be captured by a multiple-choice screen at all?

Where the Browser Window Runs Out of Road

A written exam is very good at confirming that a candidate knows something. It is far less convincing when the goal is to confirm that a candidate can do something – insert a cannula, isolate a fault in an HVAC unit, de-escalate an angry customer, work safely around live electrical equipment. For fields like healthcare, manufacturing, technical trades, and hazardous-environment training, competency lives in the hands and the decision-making, not in a bubble sheet.

That’s the gap ExamOnline’s new VR Assessment Solution is aimed at – and it’s worth being precise about the scope. This isn’t a bet that every exam is moving into a headset. Theory papers, aptitude tests, and knowledge-based certifications will keep running exactly as they do today, on ExamOnline’s existing AI-proctored, browser-based infrastructure. VR is being layered in specifically for the practical and vocational side of assessment – the portion of testing where “explain the procedure” has always been a weaker proxy for “perform the procedure.”

Inside the simulation, candidates work through scenarios built to mirror real operational conditions, while evaluators observe decision-making, sequencing, and procedural accuracy in an environment that’s controlled, repeatable, and fully auditable. Crucially, the same integrity backbone that secures ExamOnline’s conventional exams – identity verification, behavioural monitoring, session documentation – travels with the candidate into VR, so an immersive assessment isn’t a compliance downgrade from a traditional one.

For a nursing board, that means evaluating clinical judgment inside a simulated ward instead of relying purely on written case studies. For a technical certification body, it means testing equipment troubleshooting without needing every candidate to physically access a lab.

The Market ExamOnline Is Stepping Into

ExamOnline isn’t early to VR-based learning and assessment – it’s stepping into a category that’s already moving fast. A few numbers worth sitting with:

• The global VR-in-education market was valued at roughly $31–37 billion in 2025–26 and is projected to climb toward $83–95 billion by the early 2030s, growing at a compound annual rate north of 16–20%.
• VR-based training has been shown to improve learning effectiveness by as much as 76% over traditional methods, with some studies pointing to retention rates of up to 80% a year after training – well above the 20–30% typical of classroom-only instruction.
• Enterprise and vocational use cases – not gaming – are increasingly where the growth is: by 2030, enterprise users are expected to account for more than 60% of total VR revenue, and application areas like medical training and vocational/technical skills are now explicitly called out as distinct segments by market analysts.
• Cost curves are bending in the industry’s favor too – standalone headset prices have dropped sharply in recent years, and VR training is now estimated to reach cost parity with classroom delivery at scale, becoming meaningfully cheaper once deployments cross a few thousand learners.

In other words, the institutional appetite for immersive, skills-based assessment isn’t a hypothesis – it’s already showing up in enterprise training budgets, and assessment is the natural next layer on top of it. That’s the wave ExamOnline is positioning its 17 years of proctoring and integrity infrastructure to ride.

Built the Same Way It Always Has Been

What hasn’t changed is ExamOnline’s operating discipline: no external funding, no aggressive market-entry spend, and no feature shipped without verified institutional demand behind it. The company holds ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications, is GDPR-compliant, and operates under CERT-In guidelines – and that compliance backbone extends by design into the VR product line, alongside the remote, AI-proctored hiring assessments the platform also runs for enterprises managing high-volume campus recruitment.

“Assessment is not a category that stays static, and neither should the platforms that serve it,” said Maneesh Singh, CEO of ExamOnline. “We built our reputation on solving the integrity problem for traditional online examinations. VR assessment is the same problem, applied to a format where the stakes have changed but the need hasn’t – institutions still need to trust the result. Institutions don’t need a different vendor for every new assessment modality. They need one platform that’s already proven it can be trusted with the ones that matter most.”

As global EdTech consolidates and institutions grow more selective about which vendors they’ll trust with mission-critical evaluation, ExamOnline’s bet is a simple one: the platforms that win this next phase won’t be the ones with the longest feature list. They’ll be the ones that have already spent nearly two decades proving they don’t fail when it counts.

New Delhi [India], July 7: While many institutions seek to accommodate every possible aspiration, DES Pune University has chosen a different path. There is a particular kind of university that fills brochures with the word “excellence” and leaves it at that. DES Pune University (DES PU) is not that institution. Walk through its academic philosophy, and you find something less polished but more honest: a university unafraid to wrestle with the fundamental question of what education is for and arriving at answers that feel contemporary rather than inherited.

Founded on a legacy of quality learning and  nation-building, the university has spent recent years reorienting itself around a single question. Not “what do we teach?” but “what does a student actually need to navigate the world ahead?” The answer, it turns out, is more complicated than any single discipline can contain.

A curriculum built for the in-between

The most interesting thing about DES Pune’s academic model is what it refuses to silo. Rather than confining students within narrow academic boundaries, this one insists on horizontal movement. Students are encouraged to explore ideas beyond their comfort zones, engage with diverse disciplines, and develop the skills needed to address complex real-world challenges. 

The university calls this a multidisciplinary approach. The label is accurate but undersells it. What is really happening is a deliberate attempt to produce graduates who think in connections rather than categories. In a labour market increasingly shaped by complexity and change, that is not a soft skill. It is the skill.

The academic framework explicitly prioritises intellectual curiosity, collaboration, and adaptability. These are qualities that are difficult to assess and harder to teach, which is precisely why so many institutions stop trying. DES PU has not.

Industry is not an afterthought here

There is a version of industry engagement that universities perform rather than practise. The visiting speaker series. The annual industry panel. The internship that gets bolted onto the final semester as an afterthought. DES PU has built something structurally different.

Industry interactions, expert-led sessions, live projects, and internships are woven into the curriculum rather than appended to it. The underlying logic is simple: students who engage with real professional contexts early develop confidence and competence that classroom instruction alone cannot produce. The gap between what graduates know and what employers need has been a familiar complaint for decades. This institution has decided to close it from the inside.

The curriculum is also regularly updated to reflect where industries are actually moving rather than where they were five years ago. In sectors reshaped by technology and AI, that responsiveness matters more than it once did.

On innovation as a lived value

It would be easy to include the word “innovation” in a mission statement and move on. DES Pune University does something harder: it treats innovation as a design principle for the institution itself.

The research culture here is not restricted to senior faculty working on narrowly defined projects. Students and faculty are encouraged to pursue interdisciplinary research together, to explore emerging technologies, and to develop solutions oriented toward real societal and industry challenges. The institution also takes entrepreneurship seriously, offering genuine support for startup development and collaborative problem-solving rather than a token pitch competition at the end of the year.

The ambition behind all of this is to shift how students see themselves. Not as people preparing to enter an existing system, but as people capable of shaping what comes next.

“We are not only building graduates for the job market as it exists today, but  we are building people who will still be relevant, still be curious, and still be contributing fifteen years from now. Which means we owe our own curriculum the same scrutiny we’d give any student’s work  a fresh edit every year.” – Dr. Vrushali Kulkarni, Professor & Dean-Academics , DES Pune University

The part that does not make the rankings

Academic performance is measurable. Career outcomes are trackable. What is harder to quantify, and therefore often undervalued in how universities present themselves, is the quality of who a student becomes.

DES Pune University has invested meaningfully in what it calls holistic development: the deliberate cultivation of personality, leadership, communication, ethical reasoning, and social responsibility alongside academic achievement. A vibrant campus culture supports this. Student-led initiatives, cultural programmes, sports, and community engagement give students arenas to discover capacities that coursework alone would never surface.

This is not ornamental. Research on graduate outcomes consistently shows that the qualities developed through this kind of participation are precisely what distinguishes candidates in competitive environments. The institution appears to understand this and has built accordingly.

The long game

What holds this all together is a coherent and quietly ambitious vision. DES Pune University is not trying to produce graduates who are good at the current moment. It is trying to produce people who remain effective as moments change and who contribute meaningfully to the communities around them while doing it.

That requires a particular kind of institutional confidence: the willingness to invest in qualities that are hard to measure, to take the question of purpose seriously rather than superficially, and to keep asking whether the education on offer is actually equal to the world students are walking into.

On all of those counts, DES Pune University appears to be asking the right questions. In a rapidly evolving education landscape, that thoughtful approach is worth noting.

New Delhi [India], July 09: Over 40% of professionals regret their educational choice within 12 months. Not because the university was bad, but because they evaluated it using the wrong criteria. Most people choose universities based on brand reputation. They see an IIM or ISB and assume it’s the right fit. They don’t evaluate whether the program actually delivers what they need: relevant curriculum, active placement support, realistic flexibility, and documented salary growth.

This creates a mismatch. A prestigious program that doesn’t fit your situation becomes an expensive regret. The solution isn’t to trust brand names less. It’s to evaluate all programs—prestige or emerging—using the same systematic framework.

The Real Problem: Brand Name Doesn’t Predict Career Outcomes

Here’s what we know from data:

According to studies, over 40% of professionals who complete an executive education program regret their choice within 12 months. Not because they made a bad decision at the time. But because they evaluated programs using the wrong criteria.

So they enrolled in a prestigious program with outdated content, limited job placement support, and a peer cohort that didn’t match their career goals. Then they felt stuck.

This isn’t a failure on your part. It’s a failure of information. Universities market prestige, not outcomes. Your job is to look beyond the marketing.

Why “Best University” Is the Wrong Question

You’ll see articles titled “Top 10 Universities for Online MBA” or “Best Institutes for Upskilling.” These rankings are useful for one thing: selling advertising. They’re not useful for making a ₹20-50 lakh decision about your career.

Here’s why: the “best” university for you is not the same as the “best” university for someone else.

An IIM MBA might be perfect if:

• You want the brand credibility for a consulting role
• You can afford ₹40-50 lakh
• You’re willing to study 20+ hours per week
• You prioritize peer network over schedule flexibility

An online MBA program from Chitkara University might be better if:

• You need to maintain your current job without interruption
• You want curriculum that changes quarterly (not annually)
• You prioritize proven placement support over prestige
• You want ROI (30%+ salary increase documented) not just a degree

Neither is objectively “best.” Context matters.

The real question isn’t “which is best?” It’s “which fits my specific situation?”

That’s what this framework answers.

The 10-Factor Evaluation Framework

A structured framework focuses on 10 factors that predict genuine career acceleration:

1. Accreditation & Recognition – Verify AICTE/NAAC accreditation and employer recognition in your target industry.

2. Faculty & Industry Mentors – Confirm current industry experience (not 10+ years old) and active practitioner involvement.

3. Curriculum Freshness – Programs updating quarterly outperform those updating annually. Verify coverage of AI, data ethics, cybersecurity.

4. Placement & Career Support – Distinguish between passive job postings and active employer outreach. What percentage landed target roles within 3 months?

5. Alumni Salary Outcomes – Request documented salary increase data (25-35% is strong). Where do alumni actually work?

6. Flexibility for Working Professionals – Are classes asynchronous or require fixed attendance? Get realistic time estimates from current students.

7. Cost-to-ROI Ratio – A ₹30 lakh program with ₹25 lakh average salary increase breaks even in 1.2 years (good ROI). One costing ₹30 lakh with ₹8 lakh increase is questionable.

8. Industry Partnerships & Projects – Real company projects (not case studies) and capstone projects solving actual business problems.

9. Peer Network Quality – A cohort of 30 entrepreneurs and executives offers more value than 300 anonymous classmates.

10. Student Support Infrastructure – 24/7 academic support, dedicated mentors, mental health resources, and technical support matter significantly.

Questions to Ask Before You Pay

Before writing a check, demand answers to these specific questions:

On Outcomes:

• What percentage of last year’s cohort found jobs in their target role within 3 months?
• What was the average post-graduation salary increase? 
• Can I speak to 10-15 recent graduates about their actual experience?

On Curriculum: 

• When was the curriculum last updated, and how often does it change? 
• How is AI integrated into the program? 
• Are there real-world projects, or is it case studies and exams only? 

On Practicality: 

• How many hours per week does this actually require?  
• What happens if I fall behind? Is there support, or do I drop out? 
• What’s the final cost (tuition + all fees + materials)? 

If a university can’t or won’t answer these questions clearly, that’s your answer.

Making Your Final Decision

You’ve now done the work:

• Identified your career goal (5-year vision)
• Evaluated 3-4 programs on all 10 factors
• Calculated weighted scores
• Verified placement data with alumni
• Confirmed curriculum is actually fresh
• Confirmed you can sustain the time commitment

Now ask yourself one final question:

“In 24 months, after completing this program, will I have the skills, network, and credentials to make my next career move?”

If the answer is yes—not maybe, not probably, but yes—you’ve found the right program.

The Bottom Line

Choosing the right university for upskilling isn’t about picking the most famous option. It’s about picking the one that delivers what you need.

A prestigious MBA from an IIM that doesn’t fit your schedule and leaves you burnt out isn’t a win. A practical program from Chitkara University, BITS Pilani, or Plaksha University that updates curriculum timely, helps you get placed in your target role, and fits your life is a win.

The framework in this post removes the guesswork. Use it. Evaluate systematically. Trust the data, not the marketing.

Your career is worth ₹20-50 lakh and 24 months of your time. Choose wisely.

Ready to Evaluate Your Options?

You now have the framework. The next step is applying it.

New Delhi [India], July 08: In a landmark decision aimed at expanding access to quality higher education and strengthening its commitment towards social responsibility, PCET’s Pimpri Chinchwad University (PCU), Pune, has announced an extensive scholarship initiative offering tuition fee waivers of up to 80 percent for deserving and meritorious students for the academic year 2026-27.

The decision was sanctioned during the recent General Body Meeting of PCET’s Pimpri Chinchwad University, where the leadership of the university unanimously reaffirmed its stance that financial challenges should never obstruct academic goals. Additionally, it highlighted the necessity for higher education institutions to take a more active role in generating opportunities for society and in empowering the upcoming generations.

At the core of this initiative is a straightforward yet impactful principle — merit warrants acknowledgment, talent merits opportunity, and aspirations require support. With the newly sanctioned scholarship framework, students achieving 95 percent or higher in qualifying examinations or entrance tests will qualify for scholarships covering up to 80 percent of tuition fees, establishing it as one of the most significant merit-based scholarship programs launched by a private university in Maharashtra.

Speaking on the initiative, Shri Dnyaneshwar P. Landge, Chairman, PCET, said, “No dream should end due to financial constraints. Every student has the right to receive quality education from a premier institution that can shape their future and unlock their true potential. Through this scholarship initiative, we aim to ensure that deserving and talented students receive opportunities based on merit, determination and aspiration rather than economic limitations.”

In addition to its commitment to academic excellence, the university has launched various specialized scholarship categories designed to assist female students, children of defence personnel, descendants of freedom fighters, individuals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, students from single-income households, siblings enrolled at the institution, athletes, postgraduate students, and research scholars. This initiative embodies the university’s overarching goal of fostering an inclusive educational environment where opportunities are based on individual potential rather than financial circumstances.

For more than 35 years, the Pimpri Chinchwad Education Trust (PCET) has dedicated itself to nation-building through education, enabling thousands of students to become engineers, managers, designers, lawyers, pharmacists, researchers, entrepreneurs, innovators, and global professionals. The recent scholarship initiative enhances this mission by providing opportunities for deserving students to engage in education across emerging and future-oriented fields in Engineering and Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Cyber Security, Management, Design, Pharmacy, Law, Media and Communication, Computer Applications, Health Sciences and Research.

Industry leaders and education experts have increasingly highlighted the need for institutions to move beyond conventional education models and create opportunities that combine academic excellence with affordability, industry relevance and global exposure. PCET’s Pimpri Chinchwad University has consistently positioned itself at this intersection by promoting industry-integrated learning, innovation-driven education, entrepreneurship, research culture, international collaborations and experiential learning opportunities for students.

Adding to this vision, Shri Harshavardhan Patil, Chancellor, PCET’s Pimpri Chinchwad University, stated, “As we prepare the next generation for a rapidly evolving world, it is our responsibility to provide them with the best possible academic ecosystem, infrastructure, industry exposure and global opportunities. Meritorious students deserve platforms that help them realise their ambitions and shape successful careers. Through PCET and PCU, we are committed to creating those opportunities and empowering students to become future leaders, innovators and nation builders.”

The scholarship initiative is therefore not merely a financial support programme but a strategic investment in human potential and social development. By enabling deserving students to access quality higher education, the institution hopes to contribute towards creating future leaders, researchers, professionals and innovators capable of driving India’s economic and technological growth.

The initiative has been introduced under the guidance and leadership of the Governing Body and senior leadership of PCET and PCU, including Shri Dnyaneshwar P. Landge, Chairman, PCET; Smt. Padma M. Bhosale, Vice Chairperson, PCET; Shri Vitthal S. Kalbhor, Secretary PCET; Shri Shantaram D. Garade, Treasurer, PCET; Shri Harshavardhan Patil, Chancellor, PCET’s Pimpri Chinchwad University; Dr. Girish Desai, Executive Director, PCET; Mr. Narendra Landge, Management Representative, PCET; Mr. Ajinkya Kalbhor, Management Representative, PCET; Dr. Santosh Sonavane, Vice Chancellor, PCET’s Pimpri Chinchwad University; and Dr. Anil Maheshwari, Registrar, PCET’s Pimpri Chinchwad University.

As India transitions into a knowledge-based economy, initiatives like these illustrate the significant impact educational institutions can have on society by guaranteeing that no deserving student is hindered by financial constraints. For numerous aspiring learners and their families, this scholarship program may signify far more than mere financial support — it could serve as the cornerstone upon which future careers, ambitions, and success narratives are established.

With this bold and socially responsible step, PCET’s Pimpri Chinchwad University has once again reaffirmed its belief that investing in students is ultimately an investment in the nation’s future.

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], July 7: The Indian business scenario is undergoing structural changes. Given India’s increasing standing as the hub of skilled professionals in the world along with an unparalleled demand for qualified managerial professionals because of swift digital transformation, the industry demands and the role of artificial intelligence. According to the World Economic Forum Report, ‘nearly 44% of workers’ core skills will transform by 2027‘ shows the prompt need of management education to be centered towards reskilling, adapting and professional readiness skills. This displays the enormity and significance of management education.

The overwhelming demand for industry-ready professionals is encouraging management institutes to rethink and restructure their courses. The main focus is no longer just on academical knowledge, but has shifted towards industry requirement and hands on experience

DPGU’s Vision: Nurturing Tomorrow’s Leaders

Dnyaan Prasad Global University (DPGU) by Dr. D. Y. Patil Unitech Society, Pune is paving a new way in it. It is bringing together academics and industry to enable students to work in a changing economic environment. The university is driven by a commitment to creating responsive leaders for a dynamic and disruption-prone era. By focusing on innovation, excellent learning environment and an outstanding industry partnership, DPGU by Dr. D. Y. Patil Unitech Society is providing its students with an advantage.

Today there is a wider repositioning of management education, wherein curricula are designed as per the industry requirements. Business schools are expected to provide the future leaders who are knowledgeable and at the same time can be innovators, are agile, adaptive and can cope with a situation of ambiguity.

Comprehensive and Specialised Management Programmes

The management programs offered at DPGU’s School of Management & Research—including MBA, BBA (Honours/Honours with Research), and PhD in Management—are designed with a dual objective: to remain aligned with evolving academic standards and to respond effectively to the rapidly changing dynamics of the business world.

Students engage in an integrated, multidisciplinary curriculum that spans diverse functional areas and emerging domains such as digital business, analytics, and technology-driven management, delivered through a dedicated and specialized academic ecosystem. 

The curriculum involves an optimum blend of theory and practical. Besides, of course, the regular classroom based lectures and interactions with faculty, case studies, live projects, industry based assignments help the students to develop hands on problem solving skills and strategizing aptitude while exposure is provided to them for the real time business environment. 

The aim is to impart an integrated learning and industry driven knowledge to the students that results in them developing flexible skills and having a holistic perspective toward business so that they can cater to the ever changing global business environment.

Developing branches of Management

The field of management education is witnessing the emergence of new specialised branches such as FinTech, as they cater to changing industry demand and the need for sector-specific knowledge. Besides the Core MBA DPGU is offering these further branches of management courses to ensure that the students get the best and updated subjects as per the industry requirements.  By integrating these management programmes to address industry needs and meet the demand for skilled professionals in these booming industries.

• MBA in Fintech– FinTech has further moved from commercial categories to a core business aspect, driving financial inclusion and digital commerce. India is now a global hub for financial technology innovation, with a growing startup ecosystem and accelerating digital adoption. The programme has been designed considering the growth of Fintech, to address the increasing demand of skilled professionals equipped with both finance and business management skills.

• MBA in Agribusiness Management – Agribusiness in India is growing rapidly and the focus is now shifting towards sustainable, organic and natural farming and it is becoming one of the booming sectors in the Indian economy due to the awareness of consumers. This program addresses the growing demand for professionals with technical skill in organic farming, modernization of supply chain, and agri entrepreneurship.

• MBA in Pharmaceutical Management– The pharmaceutical industry is undergoing phenomenal growth, and it is further spurred on by India leading the world in generic drugs manufacturing. The advancement in research and development creates very high demand for management professionals having knowledge of the pharma industry. This programme is targeted at shaping professionals who understand complex regulatory issues, foster growth strategy and are competent in a research-intensive environment. 

Further the university puts great emphasis on the practical exposure that ensures students to enforce domain knowledge in targeted industries.

Experiential Learning: Bridging Theory and Practice

A key differentiator of the management education model designed by DPGU by Dr. D. Y. Patil Unitech Society is its tremendous focus on experiential learning. The model ensures that students get maximum hands-on experience apart from conceptual learning with its incorporated live projects, internship, case studies and team-based assignments. 

This approach enables students  to undertake and apply problem solving and critical thinking in real-world business challenges, developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Direct engagement  with industry scenarios allows graduates to emerge not only  with theoretical knowledge but also possess the ability to contribute effectively in businesses from day one itself.

Preparing Leaders for a Disruptive Future

The concept of leadership itself is evolving in a disruptive economy and adaptability, understanding of the digital economy, and cross-disciplinary thought are emerging as important characteristics. Hence management education needs to provide students a chance to gain the know-how of application-based knowledge in addition to theoretical inputs. 

The emergence of India as a global talent hub highlights the importance of management programmes.Management institutions are beginning to move away from purely academic methods to more practical and industry approaches.

Currently, an effective management programme is expected to fulfil the demands of the market and equip graduates for future challenges while providing them with the skills required to succeed, along with the mindset and hands-on experience necessary for their industry.

New Delhi [India], July 2: As conversations around future-ready education gather momentum, Rishihood University concluded the eighth edition of its flagship Builder’s BootCamp 2026, a five-day residential summer programme designed to help young learners move beyond classroom learning and become builders, innovators and problem-solvers.

The five-day residential programme immersed school students in technology, entrepreneurship, design and psychology through hands-on projects, mentorship and real-world problem-solving.

Held from 8–12 June 2026 at the university’s Sonipat campus, the programme brought together 30 students from 11 states and more than 20 schools across India. Representing educational boards including CBSE, ICSE, IB and State Boards, the cohort reflected the diversity of India’s emerging generation of learners.

Designed for students of Classes 9–12 and early college entrants, the Builder’s BootCamp immersed participants in interdisciplinary learning across Technology, Design, Entrepreneurship and Psychology, encouraging them to collaborate in teams, solve real-world challenges and develop practical solutions.

Over five days, students progressed through a structured journey of understanding real-world problems, designing solutions, building prototypes and presenting their ideas during a Demo Day before mentors and practitioners. Working alongside university faculty, startup founders, entrepreneurs and industry experts, participants gained first-hand exposure to innovation, design thinking, artificial intelligence, no-code technologies, business model development and entrepreneurial problem-solving.

Beyond academic sessions, the residential experience was designed to simulate university life. Students participated in sports, cultural evenings, founder interactions, collaborative activities and informal mentorship sessions, allowing them to build friendships, confidence and leadership skills while experiencing campus life.

The programme also highlighted the growing entrepreneurial aspirations among India’s school students. More than 83 per cent of participants expressed an interest in building startups, products or companies in the future, underscoring a strong founder mindset within the cohort. Nearly 90 per cent of participants identified Entrepreneurship & Innovation or Technology & AI as their primary areas of interest, reflecting the increasing appeal of interdisciplinary and technology-driven careers.

The BootCamp also engaged students at a crucial stage in their educational journey, with nearly 60% of participants from Class 12, providing them with valuable exposure to higher education pathways, startup ecosystems and interdisciplinary learning before entering university.

Participants represented leading schools including Delhi Public School, Amity International School, Narayana Schools, Vidyagyan, Seth M.R. Jaipuria School, La Martiniere, alongside several prominent regional institutions, creating a vibrant national cohort of young builders.

Throughout the programme, students explored design thinking, empathy-driven problem-solving, prototype development, business model creation and effective pitching while learning to work collaboratively across disciplines. The experience aimed not only to cultivate creativity and curiosity but also to equip participants with the confidence to tackle complex challenges with an entrepreneurial mindset.

Builder’s BootCamp forms part of Rishihood University’s broader educational philosophy of nurturing problem-solving individuals who combine knowledge with creativity and purpose to create meaningful impact. By exposing students to interdisciplinary learning before they enter higher education, the programme seeks to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world application.

Now in its eighth edition, Builder’s BootCamp continues to evolve as one of Rishihood University’s flagship experiential learning initiatives, providing students from across India with an immersive environment to explore ideas, collaborate across disciplines and develop the skills required to thrive in an increasingly innovation driven world.

By Sankar, Chief Operating Officer, Ether

New Delhi [India], July 2: Consider two facts that sit oddly together. In 2024-25, the number of private schools in India rose to 3.79 lakh, up from 3.31 lakh a year earlier. We are building schools at pace. And yet, in the same year, total school enrolment fell to 24.69 crore — the third consecutive annual decline, down from 25.18 crore just two years before.

More schools. Fewer students. If that contradiction doesn’t worry you yet, it should — because it is quietly rewriting the rules of how every school in India will compete for the next decade.

Start with the decline itself. It is real, and it is structural. The fall is concentrated in the primary classes, where the school-age population is thinning as birth rates drop. This isn’t a blip to be waited out; it is a demographic tide, and tides don’t reverse on an academic calendar. The pool of children that every school draws from is shrinking, and will keep shrinking for years.

Now look at where the remaining children are going. Government school enrolment has fallen sharply — from 13.62 crore two years ago to 12.16 crore today. Private enrolment has moved the other way, climbing to 9.59 crore. Private schools now account for 39% of all enrolments, the highest share in years. Parents, in other words, are trading up — choosing to pay for private education even as household budgets tighten, because they believe it buys their child something better.

Government vs private school enrolment, 2022-23 to 2024-25 (crore). Private schools now take 39% of all enrolments — the highest share since 2018-19. Source: UDISE+ 2024-25, Ministry of Education.

Put those two movements together and you have what I’d call the great inversion of Indian schooling. For two decades, private schools rode a growing, urbanising, aspirational population; a new school could open and fill its seats almost by default. That era is over. The population is no longer growing, but private capacity is — which means schools are now competing, harder than ever, for a smaller and more discerning set of families.

This is the part most school leaders haven’t fully absorbed. Growth is no longer the default; it is a prize that has to be won, family by family, often from other schools. And the family you are trying to win is more informed, more cost-conscious, and has more options than ever before.

When demand is finite and competition is rising, the maths of running a school changes in one specific way: the cost of losing a family goes up. Every enquiry that goes cold, every parent who visited and never heard back, every application left half-finished — these were always losses, but in a growth market they were absorbed by the next wave. There is no next wave now. The enquiry you lose this year is not replaced; it is simply lost, often to the school down the road.

Which is why I believe the decisive advantage in the next decade won’t be marketing budgets or glossier campaigns. Those help you generate enquiries. The schools that win will be the ones that lose the fewest of the enquiries they already have. That is a quieter, less glamorous discipline — speed of response, consistent follow-up, knowing which enquiry is serious and which has gone elsewhere, making the parent’s journey from first call to final admission feel effortless.

And here is the uncomfortable truth: in most schools, that work happens in the admission office, which is too often seasonal, understaffed, and run on memory and spreadsheets. The function that now determines whether a school grows or shrinks is frequently the least systematised part of the institution. Treating admissions as a once-a-year scramble made sense when the cohort filled itself. It is a liability now.

I should be candid about my vantage point here: this is the problem we work on. At Ether, we built our admissions platform, Enrol, precisely because the admission office had become the place where schools quietly win or lose families — yet most were still running it on memory and spreadsheets. Automated follow-ups so no enquiry goes cold, AI-assisted parent conversations on WhatsApp, lead prioritisation that surfaces the families most likely to enrol: in a growing market these were conveniences. In a shrinking one, they are the difference between a filled seat and an empty one.

None of this asks schools to treat admissions as marketing. It asks them to treat it as what it has become — a strategic, year-round function, closer to how schools already think about finance or compliance than to a seasonal form-collection exercise. The schools that staff it properly, measure it honestly, and give it the discipline to run well will take share from those that still treat it as a once-a-year scramble.

None of this is cause for panic. Demographics are slow, and slow problems reward those who act early. But the schools that thrive through this inversion will be the ones that stop assuming the seats will fill, and start treating every family as hard to win and easy to lose. The next decade of Indian schooling won’t be won by the schools with the biggest campaigns. It will be won by the ones that lose the fewest children.

Dr. Sankar Krishna is Chief Operating Officer of Ether (EduMeridian School Systems Private Limited), which builds Enrol, an admissions platform used by schools across India. Views expressed are personal.

Heritage International School believes that every student can do well when given the right support and motivation. The board result is a strong message to parents that the school takes academic success seriously and works with full dedication to help students reach their best potential.

The school works to develop students who can think clearly, speak confidently, behave responsibly, and face future challenges with courage. From Nursery to Class XII, students are guided in a way that supports their academic, emotional, social, and personal growth. In the early years, children are encouraged to learn through observation, activity, expression, and interaction.

As they move to higher classes, the school helps them build strong subject knowledge, better communication, discipline, and problem-solving ability. Teachers focus on making concepts clear rather than encouraging rote learning. This helps students understand lessons deeply and apply knowledge in practical situations. The school also gives importance to manners, respect, teamwork, punctuality, and positive behavior. These values play a major role in shaping responsible citizens. Heritage International School understands that children need encouragement along with discipline. Its learning environment gives students the confidence to ask questions, participate in class, and work toward their goals with self-belief.

One of the major strengths of Heritage International School is that it offers Science, Commerce, and Humanities streams for senior secondary students.

This wide range of options gives students freedom and direction at an important stage of life. The school understands that every child has different dreams, and a supportive institution must respect those dreams.

Teachers guide students to understand their subjects, manage study pressure, and prepare for board exams with confidence. Heritage International School also supports students in building the right study habits and a goal-oriented mindset. With proper academic guidance and stream selection, students are better prepared for the next step in higher education and professional success.

The school promotes activities such as cricket, swimming, badminton, and other sports that help students develop stamina, focus, teamwork, leadership, and discipline. Sports teach children valuable lessons that cannot always be learned inside classrooms. They learn how to work with others, accept challenges, handle pressure, respect rules, and stay determined even after setbacks.

These qualities are useful in studies as well as in life. Along with sports, co-curricular activities also help students gain confidence and express their talents. A balanced school life keeps students active, happy, and motivated. Parents today want their children to grow as confident individuals, not just high-scoring students. Heritage International School supports this vision by giving students opportunities to participate, perform, and improve. When children are encouraged in academics as well as activities, they become more confident, energetic, and well-rounded.
