Testimonials
I am very glad i skipped my cousin's birthday party and attended this seminar instead. It's unbelievable what these two hours have done to my confidence & career. Thank you guys.
- Shreyas V
This was the best seminar i have ever attended. It was not just useful, but also inspiring & entertaining. I loved the comparison of riding a by-cycle to the stages of life. It was an eye opener.
- Shriram HR
I never wanted to attend this workshop as i had just finished 10std exams. But now, i am grateful to my friend who forced me to attend. Those who missed will never realise what they are losing.
- Rrutu KS
I was torn between Commerce and Science, but the Aptitude Check for Commerce helped me realize that Commerce suits me best. I now have clarity and confidence about what lies ahead.
- Kavya
I always knew science was hard but now I know why it so and how to prepare for it by continuing to pursue my music and badminton which I love. Thanks guys
- Ashwin
Despite my strong interest in Arts, I was initially hesitant due to common perceptions that Arts should be the last choice. Today, I feel confident choosing my passion over the herd—thanks to the ICAT Team.

Testimonials
The ACC workshop was the most useful 2 hours of my life. I loved the case studies in Law and Economics. I thought this session will be boring but i was happy to be proved wrong.
Nishchitha RK
The ACC workshop is a blessing. It gave me clarity on what Commerce is & the skills required therein. Now i can proudly say “i am choosing Commerce after knowing what it is.”
Dhriti G
Though I opted for science, the ACC workshop changed my attitude towards Commerce. I always thought Commerce was inferior to Science. Now i know that is not true.

Message To Students
Education must teach us how to live, not just how to make a living [earn money]. Ensure you imbibe the right values and attitude in addition to knowledge and skill. You can’t learn everything from someone, but you can learn something from everyone. Be alert, be ready & be open minded. Always remember that “not knowing is not a crime, but not asking, is.” Life is like a coin, it can be spent the way you choose, but can be spent only once. Prioritize your desires & needs. Each of us have the potential to leave this world a little better than we found it, and it is our responsibility to live up to this potential. Strive for holistic success. Success that comes at the cost of your Health, Happiness & Peace is neither lasting nor fulfilling. Wishing you abundance of every positive emotion and experience. We sincerely pray that your years with us manifest as the best years of your life.
