Where our students have received offers. Also: Georgia Tech, Waterloo, UBC, Melbourne, UNSW Sydney and more.
The essays are written in Class 12, but what they can say is decided now: which activities a student does, which tests they take, which major and which countries they aim for.
Before we suggest a single university, we look at your child's profile through five methods. Each one asks a different question, so nothing important is missed.

Every year, parents come to me in Class 12 and ask what their child can still do. Honestly, by then, not much. The application can only describe what has already happened. In Class 11, there is still time to change the story.
I also see families pick a university first and then try to make everything else fit. I would rather start with your child: what they are good at, what they enjoy, where they want to be in ten years. The country, the university and the budget follow from that.
That is the thinking behind Built in 11, and it is why I still lead every Profile Audit myself.
Naveen BhagtaniWhy only 60 students? Because every plan gets Naveen's personal attention, and that does not stretch. We would rather say no than spread ourselves thin.
Built in 11 starts with a paid Profile Audit led personally by Naveen Bhagtani. We study your child's profile and hand you a written Strategy Map: where they stand today, and exactly what to build before 1 August 2027.
The audit is a paid service, booked before the first session. The full fee is credited towards your programme fee if you enrol within 14 days. Joining the cohort is optional.
No. The Profile Audit is a paid service: ₹4,999 (including GST) covers two sessions with Naveen and your written Strategy Map. The full fee is credited towards your programme fee if you enrol within 14 days.
Naveen sets the strategy in the Profile Audit. A dedicated counsellor works with your child from there.
No. Universities decide. If no offer is received, additional applications may be processed as per our terms.

Yes. Built in 11 is open to students in any country. Grade 11, Year 12 and IB DP1 students are on the same timeline.
