Meet Somesh Khandelwal - The Man Behind Your Success

After 21 years of helping Indian students get into top international universities, I noticed something troubling.

Brilliant students were getting rejected not because they weren't smart enough, but because they couldn't prove what made them different from 50,000 other applicants with identical grades.

That's when I realized: Students need a platform to showcase their real capabilities, not just their test scores.

So I created India's first-ever Passion Project Championship.

What Is Passion Project?

4 Reasons Why You Should Participate in the Passion Project Championship

Document & Validate Your Work Professionally

Transform your passion project from a hobby into a recognised achievement. Our platform helps you structure, document, and present your work in a format that universities and admissions officers can properly evaluate and appreciate.

Get Third-Party Authentication That Matters

Receive validation from international experts and industry professionals who can authenticate the quality and impact of your project. This external recognition carries far more weight than self-reported achievements in university applications.

Boost Your University Admission Prospects

Stand out amongst thousands of applicants with a professionally validated project that demonstrates real initiative, skill, and passion. Universities value students who go beyond academics to create meaningful work that showcases their potential.

Create a Recognisable Package for Applications

Package your passion project into a comprehensive, university-ready format that admissions officers can quickly understand and evaluate. Turn scattered work into a polished portfolio piece that strengthens your entire application profile.

The Crushing Reality Every Smart Indian Student Faces

You're scrolling Instagram at 2 AM.

Your heart sinks.

Another classmate just posted from their dorm at Stanford.

Another friend sharing their internship offer from Microsoft, London.

And you? You're still preparing for "next year's applications."

The gap is widening every single day.

When admission time came, you had:

Good grades (but so did 50,000 other students)
High IELTS scores (but so did everyone else)
The same internship certificates everyone has

You were just another face in the crowd.

The admissions officer spent 47 seconds on your application.

Rejected.

Now you watch your batch-mates living the life you dreamed of.

They're networking with professors from MIT. They're landing internships that pay more than your father's salary. They're building the future while you're still "preparing."

The worst part?

You're all equally smart. The only difference is they had something that made them UNFORGETTABLE.

Why Passion Projects Matter for Top University Admissions

Lorem ipsum Dummy Text

What Happens When You Keep Doing The Same Things Everyone Else Does

Year 1: "Next year I'll apply with better scores."

Year 2: "Maybe I need more internships."

Year 3: "I'll try a different consultant."

Year 4: You stop talking about studying abroad.

Year 10: You see your junior's LinkedIn update

"Promoted to Senior Data Scientist at Microsoft, Seattle."

Your heart sinks.

The window is closing.

Every year you wait, it gets harder. You get older. The competition gets younger and hungrier.

Time is the one resource you can never get back.

Lorem ipsum Dummy Text

Why Everything You've Been Told About "Standing Out" Is Wrong

"Just get higher scores"

→ 50,000 students score 8.5+ in IELTS every year

"Do more internships"

→ Same 5 companies, same certificates, same experiences

"Write a better SOP"

→ Everyone writes about "passion for technology" and "childhood dreams"

"Get recommendation letters"

→ Generic templates from professors who barely know you

Here's the brutal truth:

Your "unique" application looks exactly like 10,000 other applications.

You're fighting yesterday's war with yesterday's weapons.

The "Passion Project Formula" That Changes Everything

What if I told you there's ONE element that makes admissions officers stop scrolling and pay attention?

It's not grades. It's not test scores.

It's proof that you can CREATE something valuable in the real world.

Think about it:

Mark Zuckerberg didn't get into Harvard because of his SAT scores

Steve Jobs didn't impress investors with his GPA

Elon Musk didn't build Tesla with internship certificates

They built something REAL. Something that mattered.

That's exactly what the Passion Project Championship teaches you.

In 45-days, you'll submit a project so impressive that:

Admissions officers remember YOUR name
You have real-world proof of your abilities
You stand out from 50,000 "good grade" students

The Passion Project Championship: Your Fast-Track to Global Recognition

This isn't another course that teaches theory.

This is your chance to get your REAL project reviewed and recognized by mentors from the world's top universities.

Here's what happens:

Day 1-5: Submit your project concept and define your unique passion area (not what everyone expects, but what YOU actually care about)

Day 6-35: You work independently on your real-world project (new or existing)

Day 36-45: You present to 12 international judges and get recognition that opens doors

The result?

Instead of saying "I want to study Computer Science because I'm passionate about technology"...

You say: "I built an AI tool that helped 500+ students in my city improve their English scores by 40%. Here's the data, here's the impact, here's what I learned."

Why I Created This

In my 21 years of helping students, I've seen thousands of brilliant minds get rejected from their dream universities.

Not because they weren't capable.

But because they had no way to PROVE their capabilities beyond grades and test scores.

Every student has unique talents. But the current system doesn't give them a platform to showcase it.

That's why I created the Passion Project Championship.

For the first time in India, students can get their work reviewed by international experts and compete for recognition that actually matters to admissions officers.

This isn't just a competition. It's your chance to stand out in a sea of identical applications."

- Somesh Khandelwal

This Is Your Moment

Here's what Somesh Khandelwal, who has helped 20,000+ students achieve their study abroad dreams, wants you to know:

"I've seen too many brilliant students miss their opportunities because they waited for 'someday.'

The Passion Project Championship exists because I believe every student deserves a chance to showcase their true potential.

But like everything valuable, the opportunity is limited."

Five years from now, you'll be in one of two places:

Path 1: Still dreaming about studying abroad, making the same salary, wondering "what if?"

Path 2: Working at your dream company in your dream country, earning 10X more, and inspiring the next generation.

The difference?

The decision you make in the next 60 seconds.

This championship happens only 4 times per year.

Only 60 students get selected each time.

240 students per year get this opportunity.

That's it.

In a country of 1.4 billion people, only a few get this chance annually.

Will you be one of them?

Or will you keep waiting for "someday"?

Your future self is watching.

Make them proud.

This competition is organized by the same team that has:

Maintained 96% university acceptance rate for 21 years

Secured admissions to every top university globally

Never failed a committed student who followed our system

Built India's largest study abroad alumni network

Our track record speaks for itself. Your success is our reputation.
