Academic success is best celebrated when it inspires others to aim higher. In this spirit, Apeejay School, Nodia, organised a special assembly where distinguished alumni from the 2024-25 batch shared their journeys to top national and international institutions, motivating current senior students with real-life experiences.
To honour the academic excellence of its alumni and to motivate present senior students, the school hosted a special assembly on 25th August 2025. The event celebrated the remarkable achievements of students from the 2024-25 batch, many of whom secured admission to prestigious national and international institutions.
The assembly was attended by 11 distinguished achievers: Ishaan Khandelwal (SRCC), Maulik Jain (DTU), Prisha Chatwal (Lady Shri Ram College, DU), Rhea Verma (NIFT Delhi), Alavi Mujtaba (Asia Pacific University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), Manan Kasana (University of Kent, UK), Yuvraj Gulabani (IGRUA), Riya Sarup (Hindu College, DU), Nandita Mittal (Miranda House, DU), Aksh Gupta (University of Washington, Seattle), and Astha Bohra (Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, DU). Their presence turned the assembly into a rich learning experience for the Class 11 and 12 students.
Each speaker addressed the audience with a blend of personal experiences and practical advice. A common theme resonated throughout the session — the importance of consistency, discipline, and perseverance. The alumni emphasized that success in competitive exams and university admissions is not defined solely by intelligence, but by resilience, time management, and clarity of vision.
Sharing their journeys, they candidly spoke about the challenges faced during preparation, from managing distractions to balancing schoolwork with entrance exam commitments. Anecdotes highlighting their struggles and strategies offered the students a realistic picture of what it takes to succeed. They also urged students to set achievable goals, maintain focus, and cultivate a positive outlook, even when faced with setbacks.
The engaging and relatable addresses struck a chord with the students in attendance, who listened intently and interacted with enthusiasm. For many, hearing from peers who had walked the same corridors and classrooms just a year ago made the message especially powerful and credible.
The session concluded on a high note, leaving the current batch inspired and better prepared to chart their academic journeys. It also reaffirmed the school’s enduring commitment to nurturing an environment that fosters excellence, aspiration, and lifelong learning. The alumni’s success stories served as a beacon of hope, proving that with determination and hard work, remarkable achievements are within reach.
