On July 14th, 2026, a workshop was held at Queen’s Valley School, Dwarka, focusing on profile building for college admissions and career development. The session was addressed by Mr. Harsh Wadhwa, a college admissions coach, who explained the need for profile building and elaborated on how students could begin developing a strong profile during their school years. He spoke about the various aspects of building a holistic profile, including academics, extracurricular and co-curricular activities, social contribution, and leadership roles.

He explained that profile building is not just an additional pursuit but a necessity in today’s competitive world. Using various examples, he demonstrated how universities and employers seek more than just academic qualifications, but a diverse range of skills, achievements and experiences in different categories as metrics for aptitude. This helped everyone understand the importance of profile building and the opportunities it creates, where even an average student with a well-rounded profile may be preferred over a top scorer with no additional skills or interests.

The session concluded by providing practical guidance on building a good profile as a beginner, including networking, participating in competitions, volunteering, pursuing internships, and updating oneself with current affairs by reading newspapers. Overall, the session was informative and engaging, leaving many students motivated to begin building their profiles with consistency and purpose.
