What Parents & Alumni Say
Voices from our Senior Secondary community and graduates
★★★★★
My daughter scored 97% in ISC Science and secured admission to IIT Bombay through JEE Advanced. The integrated JEE preparation within the ISC teaching at Vidya Niketan was the key differentiator. The Physics teacher is truly exceptional.

I am now studying CA Final after clearing CA Foundation in my first attempt. The Accounts teacher at Vidya Niketan laid such a strong foundation in Class XII that CA Foundation felt like a natural extension of what I already knew.

Now pursuing CA Final
★★★★★
The career counselling at Vidya Niketan was life-changing. I was torn between law and journalism — the counsellor helped me realise my strengths, I chose CLAT, cracked it, and I am now at NLSIU Bangalore. Best decision of my life.
