For Ananyaa, placement at Wharton School of Business, ranked among the top 10 Business Schools globally, wasn\u2019t just an achievement \u2013 it was a dream, nurtured, empowered, and mentored at CHIREC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #555;\">She is not the only one.<\/p>\n<p>From Oxford to Harvard, London School of Economics to MIT and Stanford, CHIREC students have gained placements in some of the most prestigious universities globally. What is unique at CHIREC is not just these great names, but the vision &amp; strategy behind the success: <b>the Customised College Plan.<\/b> This is a <b>planned, personalised journey<\/b> for every student which has empowered students to gain placements in academic streams such as Engineering, Management, Biomedicine, Data Science, Entrepreneurship, Architecture, Genetics as well as <b>1.5 million$ in scholarships (2024-25).<\/b><\/div>\n<p><!-- Section 2: Global Placements and Customised College Plan --><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 40px; overflow: hidden;\">\n<div style=\"float: right; width: 170px; text-align: center; margin-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"object-fit: cover; border-radius: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/asia.cognita.network\/chirec-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/06\/Gautam-Vivekanand.png\" alt=\"Student at Imperial College\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; color: #333; margin-top: 10px;\">Placed at Imperial College, London<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #555;\">At CHIREC, the path to elite placements is paved with more than just ambition and grades. It\u2019s built on a deeply personalised journey that begins as early as grade 8. Students like Ananyaa undergo different tests to identify their strengths and interests. Through teacher interaction \u2013 their academic skills are determined.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #555;\">Says Gautam Vivekanand, who has received placement at Imperial College, London: \u201cI am very excited to have received admission at the Mechanical Engineering Program at this reputed university and I can\u2019t wait to embark on this new journey. I relied solely on CHIREC\u2019s placement team throughout the admission process.

Getting placed here was no easy feat \u2013 but with CHIREC\u2019s unique approach, the journey was guided by purpose, not weighed down by expectations. Building a strong profile involves excelling in academics, participating in extracurricular activities, and demonstrating leadership skills. It\u2019s about showcasing a well-rounded, committed approach to personal and intellectual growth for university placements. Guidance towards building a strong profile begins from grade 9 and is coupled with a customised plan for each child.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; color: #555;\">\u201cWhile all schools impact learning, CHIREC does something different; it goes beyond academics\u2014it helps you understand yourself better and find purpose in what you do,\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #555;\">says Amaira Bharathi, a CHIREC student. Such clarity comes from continuous counselling that adapts as the student progresses \u2013 grade 10 involves career assessments and exploration of academic pathways. Support is also given for honing their skills that align with future university placements. In grade 11, information and guidance are provided on key aspects of college selection, including location, entrance exams, and campus life. In grade 12, individual support is provided for university applications, including personalised counselling, essay guidance, and interview preparation. The placement team collaborates with students to finalise their career choices and ensure all application deadlines are met on time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #555;\">CHIREC organises university fairs with experts from over 100 universities worldwide to guide students on career opportunities. Through Exchange Programmes, our students gain cultural insights by traveling internationally and hosting peers, with plans to expand these opportunities globally through the Cognita network of over 100 schools.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #555;\">The school also shares resources and support for Indian entrance exams such as NEET and CLAT, and standardised tests such as SAT, ACT, and PSAT.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #555;\">This well-rounded, student-centric approach highlights CHIREC\u2019s pioneering role in education \u2013 fostering not just successful placements, but also empowering students to make informed choices and take ownership of their future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Placed at Wharton School of Business \u201cI thought I was hallucinating \u2013 I read my placement letter 3 times before I could believe it.\u201dRecalls Ananyaa, her voice tinged [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":219,"featured_media":6715,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[127,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Oxford\u2026Harvard\u2026$1.5 Million in Scholarships: CHIREC\u2019s Success in College Placements &amp;
