Students beginning career and higher-education exploration
Build awareness of disciplines, careers, courses and learning environments before students narrow their options.
Typical cohorts: Grade 10 → 11
Meet students at the moment they are exploring, comparing and deciding.
Universities have different recruitment objectives. Some want to build awareness at EXPLORE. Others want to meet students at COMPARE or DECIDE. If you specifically need the period after board examinations, that is an optional timeline within DECIDE.
EXPLORE. COMPARE. DECIDE.
Not every university needs to engage with every student cohort. Tell us which students you want to reach.
Students evaluating careers, courses and university pathways
Help students explore career pathways, compare courses and understand what different universities and programmes offer.
Typical cohorts: Grade 11 → 12
Students making their post-Class 12 decisions
Support students as they move from school to higher education, including course selection, university comparison, applications, scholarships and next-step planning.
Typical cohorts: Class 12 → University
Students arrive knowing what to ask
This is not a traditional education fair. Before the discovery windows, students learn the programme's evaluation framework, and the Passport prompts them to ask specific questions. That makes for fewer brochure grabs and better conversations.
Don’t just collect brochures. Collect decisions.

Questions universities ask
No. Taking part in University Discovery (a booth or discovery-area presence) is separate from speaking. Speaking slots are limited and curated by topic, student stage and school requirements to protect the student experience.
No. Not every university needs to engage with every student cohort. You can focus on EXPLORE, COMPARE or DECIDE, or combine them.
Yes, through the Post-Board University & Admissions Connect. That is a timeline within DECIDE (Class 12 → University), not a fourth programme stage. It involves eligible post-board Class 12 students available at the participating school, subject to the school calendar, student participation and programme scheduling. We cannot promise that every Class 12 student at a school will be available after the board examinations.
Not by default. Any follow-up must be transparent and consent-based where required, purpose-specific, and compliant with applicable law and school policy.
The programme owns the evaluation framework, which covers course fit, curriculum, faculty, internships, cost, scholarships and more. Universities share their own perspective within it. This helps students ask better questions, and it helps universities have better conversations.
Participation is planned around your objectives, cohorts and number of schools, so we do not publish a standard price. Share your goals and we will build a university engagement plan.
Tell us which students you want to reach.
Share your objective, cohorts, schools or cities, and timing. We will prepare a relevant engagement plan instead of sending a generic deck.
