University Presentation on Ashoka University — Awareness Initiative for Students of Grade XI

A University Presentation was organized on February 11, 2014 by Ms Maneesha Gorti, College Advisor, for the students of Grade XI (CBSE and IB). The objective was to bring awareness about the emerging universities in India with a new set of course curriculum.
India is considered an educational hub with many reputed institutions, especially those offering degrees for higher education; however, this is mainly for typical careers like law, engineering, and medicine.

While alternative career options are starting to gain popularity, Ashoka University (www.ashoka.edu.in) is the one which is bringing IVY League Education to India. It offers a four-year Undergraduate Programme rooted in liberal education through a broad set of disciplines of 12 foundation courses.

Students’ Reflections:
A Representative of Ashoka University, a new liberal arts institute located in Delhi, visited Oakridge International School and presented the Grade XI students with a unique opportunity of combining the benefits of studying in India and abroad. This perspective appealed to many students and the extensive list of reputed directors, professors, and academic mentors convinced many Oakridgers that Ashoka University is an ideal place to study after completing education at Oakridge.

The Representative from Ashoka University was very interactive — this caught our attention. I liked the Presentation and the Concept of the University.
