University Guidance
With 100% of B.D. Somani graduates attending colleges and universities worldwide, great care and attention are given to supporting students throughout their career selection and university application processes.
The College Guidance team has decades of experience and stays abreast of the latest developments and best practices in school counselling and university admissions. Our counsellors work closely with High School families, either individually or in groups, to help cultivate a sense of empowerment, independence, and direction toward students’ chosen futures.

- Interactive workshops on a variety of topics
- Presentations by university admissions representatives
- Onsite administration of the SAT and other college entrance exams
