Before You Decide is an 8 session live course across 4 weekends, helping students understand how work, technology and higher education are changing before choosing subjects, careers or where to study.
Weekend 1 examines the forces reshaping every career by 2032. The next two weekends look inside science, engineering, commerce and humanities. The final weekend applies the same method to studying in India or abroad.
Register for one weekend at a time. The rest open as they are announced.
The forces shaping your future are already in motion. Using data and research, this session explores how AI, geopolitics, climate change and demographic shifts will influence the world you enter and the choices you make today.
No one can predict every future job, but students can learn to adapt. This session explores the skills that will remain valuable and how to stay informed without feeling overwhelmed.
AI will not make science less important, it may make it more ambitious. This session explores the unanswered questions scientists and doctors must still solve, from disease and longevity to the brain, climate and space.
AI can generate code, designs and technical solutions but engineering goes beyond execution. This session explores how roles are changing and why problem-framing, systems thinking, and creativity will matter more.
As accounting becomes automated, commerce is not disappearing, it is evolving. This session explores how AI is reshaping finance, business and economics, which skills will lose value, and why understanding money will matter even more.
Humanities is not becoming irrelevant, it is becoming more valuable. This session explores where graduates are working, which skills are in demand, and why understanding people matters even more as AI handles more technical tasks.
Studying abroad is no longer an obvious choice. Using real data, this session compares global opportunities with staying in India, examines how geopolitics and economics are changing the equation, and helps students decide for themselves.
Studying abroad means choosing more than a university. This session examines the US, Canada, Australia, Germany and emerging destinations and how their changing domestic realities are reshaping opportunities.
All sessions are live and interactive. Seats are limited to 50 per batch so students take part, not only listen.
