Our Academic Mission

Our mission is to revolutionize education. Move away from tradition. Keep the focus on students, not the existing system. We enable our students. We do not force them to choose careers and interests. We nurture them. Guide them. Have them explore multiple industries and ecosystems. We bring the real world to them and help them make the most of themselves in a professional ecosystem. We shape our students to be ‘World Visioneers.’ Individuals capable of transcending any challenge – global or personal.

Our Academic Vision

We want our graduates to leave with supreme confidence that they have learned how to learn. They have recognized who they are and what they want to do in life. They are ethical contributors to future society as collaborators, leaders, and problem solvers.

Therefore, by the end of your education here, you are equipped with a portfolio of projects you have been involved in and will have gained knowledge in the context of the real world. As an Atria University graduate, you will know what it means to need rigorous knowledge that can stand up to the test of real-world application, and not just a written exam. You will have the ability to be entrepreneurs.

Founder Message

Atria University is attempting to address the challenge of tomorrow by stitching together disparate learnings into a single holistic process. Distilled to its core, the underlying theme is “Learning to learn.” If that is the only skill that a child takes away I believe we would have provided a truly differentiated offering. But clearly the goal is much more. It is creating a citizen of tomorrow capable of navigating the fast-paced disruptions the future portends.

Admissions Process

• What are the steps in the admissions process at Atria University?
  Admissions at Atria University is a three-step process beginning with the applicant filling the Online Application Form. The second stage involves a 15-minute virtual Beyonder Assessment, followed by an elaborate Panel Interview (if shortlisted). All decisions post each stage are communicated by the Office of Admissions within 2-3 working weeks.
• What exactly is the Beyonder Assessment?
  The Beyonder Assessment is a broad ranging set of statements and questions that need a response from the applicant. The responses provide some input on individual aspects of the applicant.
• Is there any preparation needed for the Beyonder Assessment?
  Applicants must understand that this is not a Mathematics specific assessment. We do understand that some of you may not have opted for Mathematics in high school. For the Beyonder Assessment, applicants are advised to brush up their basic knowledge of Mathematics and English. We do not provide sample papers, as most part of the assessment is based on spontaneous thinking.
• I have missed my allocated slot/ had a power breakdown during the Beyonder Assessment. What should I do?
  Please reach out immediately to the Office of Admissions at ugadmissions@atria.edu and the team will communicate on the next steps.
• What to expect during the panel interview?
  Applicants with an impressive performance in the first two stages of the application process are invited for an interview with a panel comprising of Atria University Leadership, Academics and Admissions team. This is the perfect opportunity to talk about your academic endeavours, and motivation to be a part of the Atria University student cohort.
• What happens post the panel interview?
  Panel interaction is the final step of the admissions process. Post completion of it, applicants will receive the final decision within two weeks by the Office of Admissions. Successful applicants will be made an offer of admission.
• Can I reapply for admission, if I didn’t receive an offer of admission?
  No, you cannot reapply for admission in the same academic year. However, you may reapply in the next academic year.
• Can international applicants apply for admission to Atria University?
  Yes, we welcome applicants from all over the world to apply.
• Do my 10/12th grade marks matter to get admission to Atria University?
  Academics are rigorous at Atria University. While the admissions process follows a holistic evaluation of applicants (does not only take marksheets, standardised test scores into account), it is important for them to have an excellent understanding of their core subjects.
• Can diploma holders apply to Atria University?
  Yes, we do accept applications from diploma holders as well. However, applicants who are diploma holders will need to begin their studies from Year 1, and must not have any backlogs from their existing diploma.
