For Aarohi Bhatt, creativity has always been more than a hobby — it’s been her language, her passion, and her way of seeing the world. Now, as she prepares to join NIFT Delhi with an impressive All India Rank (AIR) of 113, the GIIS Class of 2024–25 student is ready to turn her childhood sketches into a meaningful career in design.

But Aarohi’s journey didn’t happen overnight. It’s a story woven with long hours, countless ideas, and a drive to explore the possibilities of design. Her determination earned her AIR 86 in NID Prelims and AIR 2598 in UCEED, cementing her place among the country’s top design aspirants.

Her achievements aren’t limited to Indian institutions. Aarohi was named one of the Top 5 Change-Makers of 2024 by Deakin University, Australia, and awarded a 100% scholarship for her innovative thinking and potential. She also cleared CUET and secured admission to Jesus & Mary College, Delhi University, for a BA (Hons) in English — a reflection of her academic depth and versatility.

Along the way, Aarohi received offers from a host of leading design institutes, many with substantial scholarships — from BITS Design School (75%) and MIT Institute of Design (50%) to Jain University, JD Institute, Ecole Intuit Lab, ATLAS ISDI, and more.

What sets Aarohi apart isn’t just her talent — it’s her quiet confidence, her curiosity, and her willingness to keep learning. Her journey has been shaped by not only her own perseverance but also the guidance of teachers, the support of family, and the nurturing environment at GIIS.

As she takes her next step into the world of design, the GIIS family beams with pride. Aarohi’s story is proof that dreams, when matched with dedication, can become something truly remarkable.

Here’s to bold strokes, brave choices, and a future full of colour. Congratulations, Aarohi — your canvas awaits.
