How the Program
Is Structured

How the Program
Is Structured

The Reality of Moving to the U.S. Right After Class 12 -

For most students, it’s too much, too soon:


– 13,000 km away, right after school

– Living alone at 17 or 18

– No friends, family, or support system abroad

– Managing visas, housing, and finances — alone

– ₹2 crore cost upfront, all at once

– Adapting to a new education system overnight

– No clarity on what comes after graduation


This program offers a simpler, safer path —


Time to grow.

Time to prepare.

Time for families to plan, step by step —


With 2 years in India and 2 years in the U.S.

Step 1 — Start in Delhi (Year 1 & 2 at Shiv Nadar University)

You begin at Shiv Nadar University in Delhi-NCR — recognized by the Government of India as an “Institution of Eminence."


You build a strong foundation in finance, marketing, operations, strategy, human resources, business law, and economics — along with business analytics, where you’ll learn how to work with data and use it to make real-world decisions. The curriculum follows the same academic model used in the U.S.

You're also fully trained for the U.S. visa interview — with everything from documentation to mock rounds handled end-to-end.

By the end of Year 2, you're ready — academically, personally, and visa-approved — to move to the U.S. for the final two years.

Step 2 — Transfer to the U.S. (Year 3 & 4 at ASU)

In Year 3, you move to Arizona State University (ASU) — ranked #2 in the U.S. for employability among public universities*.

You build skills in business statistics, finance, AI in business, and big data.

Alongside academics, you're trained with real strategies to launch your career in the U.S. — from building your resume and portfolio to preparing for interviews and internships.

These two years prepare you to graduate with confidence — and take the next step: working in the U.S. through OPT.
