Sunstone Eduversity – On its way to inspire the future of Higher Education – Times of India

• As per the 2021 India Skills Report, only 45.9% of the Indian youth is considered employable in 2021
• Only the top 5% of Indian B-schools offer real transformative education, while the rest of them lack academic expertise to impart an industry-relevant curriculum
• Majority of Indian students still depend on colleges/universities for higher education. Despite the ongoing EdTech wave, college education has terribly failed to inculcate employable skill-sets in students, especially during the ongoing pandemic

Sunstone Eduversity aims to take over this mantle by being the college of choice for the entire mid spectrum — by offering not just the basic classroom education but integrating an immersive experience — including peer learning, industry exposure, quality assurance, use of agile technology, and tailored placements. Sunstone partners with ace campuses across the country to provide students from diverse backgrounds and cultures with a uniform, high-quality management education equipped with world-class facilities.

Putting its own skin in the game, Sunstone has successfully proven to be the only ‘Student-first’ B-school in the country. It takes accountability for students’ careers through fee payment plans with zero financial risks and an industry-aligned curriculum. With the below tools in place, it’s lending financial empowerment to students and their families, and enabling them to channelize all of their energy in their all-round growth.

• ‘Pay-after-placement’ fee payment model
• Scholarship Programs
• 0-5% Loan facility, for the payment of one-time registration fees

Sunstone’s pay-after-placement fee structure is a unique policy that allows students to pay their tuition fee only after they have been placed. Leveraging these financial tools, Sunstone aims to revolutionize the country’s higher education scenario — enabling individuals to pursue their aspirations, regardless of their economic background.

Equipped with industry-ready knowledge and the nitty-gritty of online working, students from Sunstone were broadly preferred by recruiters, post-pandemic

Delivering on its promise of 100% placement accountability, Sunstone Eduversity has achieved a 150% placement rate, for its 2019-21 MBA batch. Speaking about its excellent placement record, Co-founder Ashish Munjal said, “Sunstone Eduversity has a centralized system in place for all its academic operations. This system enables cross-campus collaborations, placement opportunities at pan India scale, and better exposure through peer-to-peer initiatives. Owing to its centralized approach, each student at Sunstone gets 20x the number of placement opportunities, as opposed to a student from other B-schools.”

Sunstone Eduversity works with 200+ empanelled recruiters. Maintaining a consistent placement record, the B-school facilitates an average package of 4.5 LPA, whereas, it has gone as high as 10 LPA over the years.

Accountable and result-oriented education is the need of the new normal

Sunstone Eduversity provides students with a curriculum assessed and curated by industry experts. By regularly updating the curriculum, Sunstone fosters a pragmatic approach through a vast number of applied specializations and paid internships suited to the demands of the industry. Sunstone’s learning management system, ‘Canvas’ is mechanized to provide each student with a customized learning pedagogy, personalized feedback, and remedial modules.

Speaking about Sunstone’s result-oriented management curriculum, Co-founder Piyush Nangru said, “The post-pandemic market has pushed businesses to adapt to a digital way of functioning — significantly changing the recruiters’ demands. Most mid-spectrum B-schools struggle to keep up with the dynamic industry requirements, as they continue to teach concepts that are no longer relevant to the industry needs in current times. Sunstone works very closely with corporates across a host of sectors and actively seeks participation from domain leaders to design an industry-aligned management curriculum.”

Speaking of her recruitment experience with Sunstone, one of the recruiters, Gazal Kalra (Co-founder, Rivigo) said, “We see Sunstone Eduversity as a game-changer, providing candidates with excellent work ethics and who can hit the ground running. Also, they are highly disciplined, well-groomed and extremely professional. They have corporate ethics imbibed deeply in them which most other students lack these days.”

In addition to revolutionizing higher education, Sunstone Eduversity is also making recruitment feasible through ‘Online Hiring’.
