The Indian School organised a Mastery Workshop on CUET on 29 October 2026 for 120 students of classes XI and XII from the Humanities and Commerce streams. The session aimed to provide students with valuable insights into higher education opportunities, career pathways and the diverse academic options available post class XII.
The School was privileged to host three distinguished speakers from IMS Learning Resources, Delhi: Mr Naseer Ahmad, Centre Manager and Senior Career Counsellor at IMS, Kailash Colony; Mr Mukul Chaudhary, Head of School Outreach; and Mr Nakul Shairwal, National Mentor and Chief Business Officer. Drawing upon their extensive experience in career counselling, student mentoring and educational guidance, the speakers shared valuable insights into navigating the transition from school to higher education.
The programme commenced with a welcome address, followed by an insightful message from Principal, Ms Tania Joshi, who emphasised the importance of making informed academic and career choices. The speakers were subsequently felicitated by School representatives as a token of appreciation.
The session provided students with a comprehensive overview of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET), including its examination structure, subject requirements and preparation strategies. The speakers highlighted a wide range of undergraduate programmes in Management, Commerce, Economics, Finance and the Humanities, including BBA, BMS, BBE, B.Com. and other specialised courses. Students were also introduced to alternative entrance examinations such as CLAT and IPMAT, as well as professional qualifications such as Chartered Accountancy (CA) and Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA).
A particularly engaging aspect of the workshop was the interactive question-and-answer session, during which students raised pertinent queries regarding subject combinations, entrance examinations and university admissions. One of the key discussions focused on the opportunities available to commerce students who have not opted for mathematics. The speakers emphasised the importance of carefully reviewing the eligibility criteria of individual universities and programmes when considering undergraduate options.
The discussion also explored students' experiences with CUET domain subjects. Political science, Psychology, Home science and Fine Art were identified as subjects that many students may find relatively manageable with thorough preparation, while history was perceived as comparatively more demanding. This led to a meaningful discussion on understanding the syllabus, recognising individual strengths and adopting a strategic approach to preparation.
An especially inspiring moment during the session was the mention of School alumnus, Samarth Chaudhary (Batch of 2025-26), who secured admission to Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies after preparing for the entrance examination with focused mentoring and guidance. His achievement served as a motivating example of how dedicated preparation, informed decision-making and perseverance can help students realise their academic aspirations.
The speakers further underscored the importance of profile building, goal-setting, researching universities and keeping track of application deadlines, eligibility requirements, counselling procedures and admission updates. Students were encouraged to explore their interests, identify their strengths and make well-informed decisions about their future academic and professional journeys.
The workshop proved to be an informative and engaging experience, providing students with greater clarity regarding entrance examinations and the wide range of opportunities available after class XII. The meaningful interaction between the speakers and students encouraged participants to approach future academic choices with confidence, curiosity and a well-informed perspective.
Through this initiative, The Indian School reaffirmed its commitment to empowering students with the knowledge, guidance and resources necessary to make informed academic decisions and pursue their aspirations with confidence.
