Roorkee (India), 21st February 2025: HOAG, India’s pioneering immersive summer school program, has partnered with iHUB DivyaSampark, IIT Roorkee to launch the country’s first Ivy-Grade Summer School Program.
This groundbreaking initiative is set to redefine summer schools in India, offering students aged 11-17 an unparalleled academic experience at par with the world’s leading summer programs.

HOAG bridges this gap by bringing an elite, research-driven, and immersive academic experience to Indian shores.
The program is designed to blend rigorous academics with hands-on experiential learning, innovation-driven projects, and mentorship from some of the brightest minds in academia and industry.
Manish Anand, Board Member and CEO, iHUB DivyaSampark, IIT Roorkee remarked, “Our partnership with HOAG brings an Ivy-Grade summer school experience to India. By combining academic excellence with HOAG’s innovative learning approach, we offer students a unique opportunity for immersive learning that bridges the gap between Indian and International standards to develop future leaders.”
Dr. Gaurav Trivedi, Professor, EEE Department and Principal Investigator, E&ICT Academy and Daksh Gurukul, IIT Guwahati, emphasised the significance of such a program, stating, “India has a growing need for high-quality, immersive learning experiences that go beyond traditional classroom learning. Through our collaboration with HOAG, we aim to provide young Indian students with an opportunity to engage in a truly world-class summer school program that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and real-world problem-solving skills. This initiative will enable our students to access the kind of academic exposure that was previously available only in global institutions.”
“We are thrilled to partner with iHUB DivyaSampark, IIT Roorkee, to deliver a truly transformative learning experience for young students in India. With the legacy of one of India’s premier institutions and our expertise in curating immersive learning journeys, we aim to provide students with an opportunity that is at par with, if not superior to, the global summer school programs they have sought abroad,” said Adetya VN Chopra, Founder of HOAG.
This initiative marks a significant shift in India’s learning landscape, paving the way for a future where world-class summer school experiences are no longer exclusive to Western universities.
