When a skill becomes your admission advantage! šāØ
Garvit was a student with good academicsābut what made his admission journey even more interesting was a skill beyond the classroom. He had a passion and proficiency in playing the dholak. š„
Most students believe that admission to a top Delhi University college is only about marks and CUET scores. But there are other opportunities too, and ECA (Extra-Curricular Activities) can be one of them.
I advised Garvit to explore the ECA admission route and, importantly, to fill the ECA form under the relevant category for his dholak skill.
He took the opportunity seriously, showcased his talent, and his extracurricular ability became an additional pathway in his DU admission journey.
And the result? šÆ
Garvit secured admission to Ramjas College, University of Delhi ā one of the prominent colleges of DU. ā¤ļøš
This is exactly why I always tell students:
š Donāt let your talents remain just hobbies.
š Understand how your skills can support your college admission strategy.
š Explore every legitimate route available to you.
š Academics matter, but your overall profile can matter too.
If you are a Class 12 student preparing for CUET and you have a skill in music, dance, theatre, fine arts, debate, NCC/NSS or other ECA categories, donāt simply assume that CUET is the only route you should focus on.
Your talent could open a door you didnāt even know existed. āØ
Garvitās story is a beautiful example of how the right guidance + academics + extracurricular talent + timely application can make a difference.
Congratulations, Garvit! šš„ Proud of this achievement!
