What differentiates SNVA’s model of global education from traditional online learning platforms and with Veranda Higher Education and Six Phrase joining SNVA, how will academic rigor and employability training complement each other?
SNVA Veranda is more than just an education platform, it is a global higher education system curated to uplift freshers and professionals in their education journey. Contrary to the traditional online models focussing on isolated programmes, SNVA Veranda integrates universities, accredited institutions, and industry relevant training platforms all under one roof. From recent high school graduates to seasoned professionals, learners can smoothly progress through graduation, post-graduation, and doctoral programmes while accessing industry-relevant skills that help them stay skilled, upskill, or reskill and move ahead in their respective careers.
With Eduraka, Veranda Higher Education, and Six Phrase onboarding SNVA family, academic excellence and employability training come together seamlessly, merging strong academic foundations with real-world practical skills in communication, aptitude, and job readiness. This integrated approach assures that every learner gets the degree along with confidence, competence, and global exposure to excel in the current workforce. SNVA Veranda’s mission is to fill the gaps in education, employability, and entrepreneurship, building a sustainable ecosystem that transitions life worldwide.
How will the unified platform make it easier for students from smaller cities to connect with international universities?
The unified tech platform is curated to make global education accessible to all the learners irrespective of their demographic details as we offer both onsite and online programmes. For onsite programmes, the platform caters as a one-stop destination for the learners where they can explore and compare multiple universities and colleges across various countries. It offers detailed description of courses including, eligibility, application procedures, scholarships, and visa guidance. Learners can also receive inclusive support for their examination preparation, documentation, and hostel arrangements, so that the entire process becomes more transparent, smooth, and effortless.
As far as online programmes are concerned, the unified platform brings the best universities directly to the students screen. No matter if the student is sitting in a small town or a metro city, globally recognised certificate, diploma and degree programmes can be accessed from anywhere. Interactive Learning Management System (LMS), live interactive sessions with industry-expert faculty and peers, and premier digital study materials.
The platform also provides access to global research journals and academic resources, offering learners an experience that mirrors studying in an international campus.
By combining both onsite and online programmes, we at SNVA Veranda make it easier for students from smaller cities to connect with international universities, allowing them to learn, grow, and compete internationally.
What are some of the biggest misconceptions about affordability and quality when it comes to studying abroad?
In my opinion, one of the biggest misconceptions about studying abroad is that quality education always comes with an expensive price tag. But in reality, there are many globally recognised universities and institutions that offer affordable options through hybrid, online, and transfer programmes, reducing living cost and tuition fee, all without compromising academic excellence.
Another misconception is that low-cost programmes come with low quality education. Nevertheless with global accreditation frameworks, digital campuses, and university collaborations like those under our joint venture, learners can access the same curriculum, faculty, and academic standards similar as on-campus—at a reduced cost.
Some students and parents assume that studying abroad demands hefty payments or student loans, but integrated financing models, scholarships, and flexible payment plans have made global education available to anyone, anytime, and anywhere.
At last, there is a belief that only top-ranked universities ensure success. But in reality, the value of education is linked with its employability and relevance and not just with brand names. Programmes offered by us integrate global exposure with skill enhancement and industry tend to deliver enhanced long-term career outcomes than traditional, expensive ones.
Summing up, studying abroad today too can be affordable and premium, learners need to choose the right institute or platform that balances academic excellence and financial accessibility.
In what ways do you see AI, digital transformation, and entrepreneurship shaping the future of global education for Indian youth?
AI, digital transformation, and entrepreneurship are reshaping the foundation of global education these days. For the youths in India, this marks an exciting era where innovation meets opportunity.
If we look at Artificial Intelligence (AI), it is personalising learning at an unmatched scale. It enables adaptive learning pathways allowing learners to study and progress at their own pace, receive quick feedback, and access thoughtful career guidance. AI driven analytics also helps in curating advanced curricula aligned with future job markets.
If we talk about digital transformation, it has removed the geographical and economical barriers, making global education accessible from across the globe. With the help of an advanced Learning Management System (LMS), virtual classrooms, immersive simulations, and international collaborations, students in India will be able to learn from international universities, researchers, and industry experts directly without having to live far away from home.
Entrepreneurship is reshaping education, from a degree-focused pursuit to a problem-solving mindset. Indian students are now being empowered to become job providers rather than job seekers, and the credit goes to the rise of innovation-driven curriculum, incubation hubs, and global mentorship programmes.
Together, all these forces are developing a new generation of digitally fluent, globally competement, and entrepreneurial Indian youth who are prepared with needed skills, creativity and confidence to create an empire.
This is the exact vision of SNVA Veranda, building an ecosystem where technology, innovation, and education is united to ready learners for future opportunities.
