SW pupils to get trained for UPSC

From the 2025–26 academic year, students entering Class VIII at Gurukul schools will be selected through a merit-based entrance test for a course designed to prepare them for India’s most competitive exams. This development follows months of deliberation involving parents, teachers and subject matter experts who had long been advocating for early exposure to structured exam training. A micro-scheduling system will dictate lesson plans, assessments and strategy sessions to keep learning consistent across the academic year. Most students who currently access top coaching programmes in India come from families that can afford intensive, expensive training.
