UNIABROAD: The Company That Is Helping Indian Students Realise Their International Education Dreams

December 22, 2022

The number of students moving to study abroad has witnessed massive growth over the years. Given the better quality of education, flexible education system and better career prospects, India ranks second when it comes to countries with the greatest number of students studying abroad. In 2019, this number was 800,000 and it is forecasted that the number will increase up to 1.8 million by 2024. There are many Indian students who harbour the dream of studying at a reputed university abroad. However, very few of them get to realize this dream. Simply put, they go through many complications and obstacles in the process.

UNIABROAD is one company that has been working towards making the dream of studying abroad for Indian students come alive. It is not only helping students secure admission to a university of their choice, it is also making all the necessary arrangements to ensure they do not face any issues while studying in a foreign land. UNIABROAD is the brainchild of its founder and CEO Vikas Murulidhara who wanted to create an entity that would offer adequate support to students planning to study abroad.

Talking about the vision behind UNIABROAD, the founder Vikas Murulidhara says, “What makes UNIABROAD different from companies in this segment is that we offer end-to-end support to students who wish to pursue a course of their choice in a foreign university. Apart from helping them get admission to a university and secure their visa, we also take effective measures to ensure that they feel comfortable while adjusting to a new country and university. In a way, we act as their friend, guide and support system during the entire process.”

Whenever a student is about to move abroad for pursuing a course, they seek guidance and advice from people in their vicinity. However, when you are about to do something that is new or different for you, you reach out to people who know the way. What makes UNIABROAD unique is the fact that it is a company designed and managed by alumni of international universities. They were in the same shoes a few years ago and know what you’ve been going through. Therefore, they tell you exactly what you need to do to get the best out of the opportunity you have landed.

Elaborating on the same, the Operational Manager, Tarun Kumar says, “It is quite natural for students to feel a little nervous and confused when they are about to move into a new country. The nervousness, however, will be much lesser if they get the right guidance and have some clarity about what they are getting into. A majority of our destination experts have graduated, worked or stayed abroad. As a result, we can provide students with real-world experiences. We help students realize their dream of studying in universities based in different countries like UK, USA, Ireland, France, Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, Spain, Australia and Dubai. We partner with more than 300 universities offering 100000+ courses.”

One of the things that have drawn a large number of students to UNIABROAD is the fact that the company offers a variety of high-quality services at zero cost. The company has a dedicated platform in the form of UNILEARN that helps students make the necessary preparations to qualify for their language prerequisites and improve their communication skills. This service, like any other service provided by UNIABROAD, is offered free of cost.

“We are headquartered in Oxford, UK, and have Indian offices located in multiple locations. Our corporate office is in Mysuru, Karnataka and branch office is based in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Students want counselling or guidance when they plan to apply for admission to a foreign university. However, a lot of the companies are not very accessible. We have addressed this issue and therefore, we cater to PAN India students by providing counselling and end-to-end admission support through our physical and virtual office”, says founder Vikas Murulidhara.

The success of a company such as UNIABROAD is mirrored in the success of the students it has assisted. 90% of the students, who have applied through UNIABROAD, have received significant scholarships. With the help of UNIABROAD, students can discover and apply for thousands of international scholarships and get assistance with education loans too. The mentorship provided by the company is not limited to university acceptance. With a dedicated post-admission support team, students get continued support even after their admission process so they don’t have to worry about anything. That’s how UNIABROAD is every aspiring international student’s one-stop destination.

Having set its eye on the horizon of success, UNIABROAD is marching ahead in creating a world where everyone has access to quality education.

High School Students Tackle Educational Inequality Through Free Android App

November 4, 2022

App enables self-study, with 10,000+ questions, chapter summaries, and videos

Of the 265 million students in India, close to twenty percent drop out before Grade 10 mostly because of educational inequality. Lack of access to good quality educational resources is one of the key facets of this inequality, leading to significantly lower educational success and social mobility for the impacted students. While students with access to paid online courses and/or teacher support can make progress, millions of students without these resources fall behind.

To address this gap, Vedanth Nandivada, and Siddanth Nandivada, Grade 12 and 9 students respectively, built a free Android app called “IndiaExamPrep” (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.indiaexamprep.app ). The IndiaExamPrep App helps students prepare for Indian exams (CBSE / State syllabi) on their own, by first reading the summary of each chapter and then answering chapter-wise questions without the help of teachers. Additionally, for Grades 9 and 10, chapter-wise videos are available too. This provides students with a great way to learn step-by-step by repeating the practice tests till they are comfortable with each chapter. In addition, the app can also help organizations assess performance to identify high-scoring students for awarding merit-based scholarships or offering additional support in the form of teaching assistance to those scoring low.

“There are so many students in India who don’t have access to high-quality education that can help them understand concepts taught in class. Digital solutions can play a big part in helping them learn and score better. While there are many free open-source apps available, they do not cater to the Indian syllabi completely. Commercial apps are, of course, too expensive for many,” said Vedanth Nandivada, who along with his younger brother Siddanth and family resides in Bangalore.

To build the app, Vedanth and Siddanth went through NCERT books, Exemplar websites, and YouTube, and collected chapter summaries, relevant videos, and more than 10,000 Indian CBSE and State Boards questions for Grades 6 to 10 organizing them by subject and chapters. They then programmed the app to enable advanced quizzing. They have made the IndiaExamPrep app available in English, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi using Machine Learning. The IndiaExamPrep App has a 4.6-star rating in the Android Play Store with over 70 reviews and many testimonials on YouTube. The App has over 17,000 downloads and 6,000 hours of usage.

Vedanth and Siddanth are hoping that free apps like IndiaExamPrep will help in reducing educational inequalities in our society. They are working towards improving the content of the app, while also creating awareness so that it reaches more students who can benefit from it.

How the STEM is Useful and Important for Basic Indian Education

August 8, 2022

Bangalore, 5^th August 2022: The subject areas of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), together with the arts, life skills, and communication, are a good place to start when learning more about how early childhood curriculum and programming related to STEM.

The Indian environment in technology is changing rapidly and the next generation of the youngest country need a boost in their skill development, STEM can be the core of their education in understanding the newest technology and how is it working. The more the understanding, the more they will be able to create newer things and create a better India, the Nation of tomorrow.

Early STEM education encourages children to become confident and engaged learners as they progress into primary school and beyond, going beyond only knowing how to count or recognise the alphabet, these are the conventional abilities assumed to help children transition to school. Sharp observational abilities, critical thinking, and problem-solving are fundamental components of the STEM inquiry-based learning method, but they are equally crucial to all sectors of changing educational curricula that place a greater emphasis on using knowledge than on simply memorising it. In order to support early STEM education, develop metacognitive skills, and promote positive learning dispositions in the children’s future school years, parents and teachers should begin encouraging children’s natural curiosity and assisting them in deriving meaning from their explorations of the world around them.

Understanding the children’s interests is mostly accomplished through watching and listening to them as they go about their daily activities. Developing children’s motivation to engage in a scientific investigation requires taking into account their interests. Teachers should use STEM inquiry to help students think about what they already know, what they anticipate will happen during activities, and how to try new things. What most young children do is engage in discussion with you by having at least two back-and-forth exchanges and posing queries beginning with “who,” “what,” “where,” or “why,”. They describe the action taking place in a picture. When prompted, they state their first name and most of the time speak well enough for others to comprehend, said Uttam Panda, Founder, MADDY.

A recipe book or science kit is not necessary for STEM education, nor is expert knowledge. Pay attention to your child’s inquiries, and then let your own curiosity and inquisitiveness take over. By modelling real interest, participating actively, and letting kids design their own learning paths, educators can encourage STEM learning in their students. Teachers can act as the young scientists’ lab aids! It’s crucial to provide a rich learning environment to encourage discoveries and dialogues. Developing your own knowledge through training programmes like Little Scientists can help you generate resources and improve curriculum design.

He further elaborated that you have the chance to pique the youngsters’ curiosity by saying something like, “I wonder how long it would take for all this ice to melt.” Alternately, you may add, “I would want to learn how we could stop the ice cubes from melting so quickly.” This can serve as a starting point for future investigations or raise new inquiries. The child may start their own research by taking the glass of ice cubes outside to melt in the sun.

Engineering, technology, math, and science provide students with engaging, hands-on learning opportunities that build strong learning dispositions. They improve teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in scientists. Teachers and educators can emphasise how commonplace activities like bug hotels and gardening aid in children’s development of STEM skills.

STEM fluency is demonstrated by early starts and immersion in everyday life, just like learning a language. Children are better able to develop ideas and ways of thinking when they have hands-on, inquiry-based experiences in the early years that include them in many different places, times, and activities. They might even produce a radish.

ISPP PDM Programme is holistic: Amarjeet Sinha

August 5, 2022

Amarjeet Sinha, former Advisor to the Prime Minister delivered the inaugural address at the ISPP Orientation
61 Scholars including 32 women in ISPP’s 4^th batch – Class of 2023

New Delhi: Setting up the cornerstone for the year 2022-23, the Indian School of Public Policy (ISPP) began its week-long Orientation for the Class of 2023 on 1st August. The Post Graduate Programme in Public Policy, Design & Management (PDM), a one-year Programme, formally begins on August 6th, 2022, at the New Delhi campus.

Former Advisor to the Prime Minister and noted Public Policy Practitioner and author Amarjeet Sinha delivered the commencement speech.

In an insightful address, Mr. Sinha emphasised the significance of community-driven social development as a sure-shot way to bring about impactful changes. “Think of public policy practice as plumbing. Identifying the issues and rectifying them on a local level is what makes A policy practitioner’s efforts a success,” he said. Praising ISPP’s PDM Programme, he placed hopes for a better future with young policy leaders in the making. “I wish there were courses such as this when I was a student,” Mr. Sinha added. After an engaging question-answer round, he wished ISPP Scholars the best for their journey ahead.

The founding Dean, ISPP, Dr. Shubhashis Gangopadhyay presided over the Orientation. He engaged the cohort with his trademark wit as he talked about public policy and what it means to be a policy thinker. In a follow-up session, Dr. Gangopadhyay gave an overview of ISPP’s theme of SPELL (Skill, Political Economy, Ethics, Leadership, and Lifelong Learning) curriculum and pedagogy that the School follows.

Co-founder & Director, ISPP Dr. Parth J. Shah, held an interactive session as he nudged the Scholars to think critically. “You will not just learn about public policy in one year at ISPP, but also about ramifications of even good intentioned policies and unintended outcomes,” Dr. Shah said. He also took the Scholars through the story of ISPP, beginning in 2018 when the School was just a seed of an idea… the idea was to democratise public policy education and training as well as build state capacity, with Indian solutions for Indian challenges. Dr. Shah described the ISPP Oath for Policy Practitioners.

The 61 Scholars from the 4^th batch, in the Class of 2023 come from 18 Indian States and share one common passion: of bringing the ‘public’ back into public policy. For the second consecutive year, there are more women Scholars than men.

Sharing a collective experience of their first week at ISPP, Aditya Sinha from the Class of 2023 said, “The Orientation has given us a glimpse of what we can expect in the coming 12 months. ISPP is bringing not only world-class education to India but also ushering us into an age of specialisation. We get to have lunch with CEOs and Presidents of think tanks, share views with policy stalwarts, and have reflective sessions with the ISPP Leadership. I am really excited by the wealth of education, experience, opportunities, and networking that lies ahead.”
