Our Approach, Program Benefits
GenWise residential programs help bring out the child’s potential by supplementing the work of schools and parents. GenWise’s approach and the benefits of the programs are outlined here.
Apart from the academic enrichment work, students will engage in a host of activities that broadens their horizons, enhances their socio-emotional development and allows them to make connections with their peers and mentors, and have fun (in a device-free environment).
GenWise is dedicated to supporting the needs of learners, through our network of accomplished mentors - with world-class academic, professional and teaching credentials. GenWise offers 2-3 week summer programs, modeled along the lines of Johns Hopkins CTY, Northwestern CTD etc., adapted to the Indian context. GenWise is also a founding member of the Gifted India Network that supports parents, teachers and schools in meeting the needs of gifted students.

Early identification of giftedness has admittedly played a material role in the trajectories of these young adults at our Programs. Virtually every alum is in a position at leading companies, or pursuing higher education at top-notch colleges around the world. A few are profiled below:
Yamini Prashant
Participant in
2014
Currently a Consulting Intern at Oliver Wyman, after an undergraduate degree in Business and Bioengineering from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. More details at https://www.linkedin.com/in/yaminiprashanth/
The opportunity to interact with special students from around the country, the opportunity to interact with world-class mentors, and the freedoms coupled with responsibility, and a general sense of dignity for the middle-school student that I was, were the memorable aspects of the Program.
Asher Kaul
Participant in
2017, 2018
Currently enrolled in an undergraduate program in Law, at King's College, London. More details at https://www.linkedin.com/in/asher-kaul/
These programs were learner-friendly environments, extremely focused on honing the skill-sets of a group of similarly-abled students. There was an approach towards mastery. The skills I picked up are perennial, not perishable.
Rupasri Chalavadi
Participant in
2016
Currently in a Bachelor of Science program, in Neuroscience and Computer Science, at Johns Hopkins University. More details at https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupachalavadi/
I’m currently getting my bachelors in Neuroscience, and my first ever exposure to the field was through the ASSET Summer Program. My experience at this Program was an incredible learning and growth opportunity for me, both personally and academically. It inspired my interest in neuroscience and medicine, and I am so thankful for the opportunity it gave me!

ASSET is the springboard I used to jump into the world of competitive exams, fairly early (10 years old). Confidence boosting, it pushed me beyond the boundaries of what I was taught at school. These programs also gave me access to a high-quality peer-group, beyond my own school, and I am still in touch with a lot of them after 15 years!
Safety/ Security
Safety of students is ensured through tightly-monitored, well-established processes, as well as well-trained staff. The Staff-Student ratio in our Programs is typically 1:4, or better.
The Kasturba Hospital (a unit of MAHE) on campus will support our program. The hospital has 2000+ beds, and caters to 3000+ outpatients and 200+ admissions per day. Additionally, we have First Aid Kits and trained First Aid Administrators within our team.
Parents will also be required to share their child's detailed medical history, current regimen, and medical insurance details for our reference.
Program Fee, Registration Form
The program fee for 3 weeks is Rs. 187,000 (this is inclusive of tuition, food and accommodation and 18% GST).
For the 2-week Junior program, the fee is Rs 126,000.
The fee for the 1-week course, "Leveraging the Power of Generative AI", will be Rs 70,000.
We are a small business, operating in a niche area, offering excellent infrastructure, world-class mentors, and a fantastic experience outside the classroom to support our participants' socio-emotional needs. We recognise our program is not inexpensive, and would therefore like to support Parents who can support us, as detailed below.
Making a commitment, early enough, to attend our Program is meaningful for us; this helps us plan infrastructure and other resources better. We would like to recognise those who are able to support us on this, via better Early Bird prices. We would also like to reward our Returning Students for your confidence/ faith in us.
You could also spread the word to others who could benefit from this experience, and receive a generous referral fee.
The Early Bird fee is Rs 165,000 for 3 weeks, provided families register and pay an advance of Rs 50,000 by May 15, 2024. The balance will need to be paid by Jun 15, 2024. Fee for the 2-week program will be pro-rated.
You could also spread the word to others who could benefit from this experience, and receive a generous referral fee.
