Location

Located on a hilltop biodiversity reserve in the Sahyadri hills near Mulshi, Pune, Maharashtra, India. The campus spans 175 acres and is not in a city setting. The postal address is Village Khubvali, P.O. Paud, Mulshi, Pune 412108, Maharashtra, India.

Stages

IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) for students aged 16 to 19. The programme lasts two years and leads to the IB Diploma and MUWCI Diploma, with MUWCI CORE delivered alongside the IB.

Type

Co-educational, boarding (fully residential) on a hilltop campus.

Pupil Nationality Mix

Seventy-plus nationalities are represented on campus.

Application fee
- No public, fixed application fee amount is published by the college for prospective students.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The college does not publish a public, itemised tuition-fee schedule by year group or by term for the two-year IB programme. UWC Mahindra operates as a two‑year residential IB college (typically IB1 and IB2), but no per‑term or per‑year fee table is published for full‑fee or partial‑fee payers.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- No public billing schedule, term‑dates for invoicing, payment‑deadline policy, penalty/late‑fee schedule or published payment‑terms are listed in the college's public admissions or admissions‑information pages.

Boarding fees
- The college is fully residential (board and residences are provided for all students). Specific monetary boarding‑fee amounts or a separate boarding fee schedule are not published in the college's public admissions material.

Other costs and fees (uniform, books, trips, insurance, deposits, deposits/caution, activities)
- No comprehensive public list of additional compulsory charges (uniform, refundable deposits/caution, meals beyond standard provisions, travel/transport, insurance, extracurricular fees, IB exam registration charges or standard field‑trip charges) is published in the college's publicly available admissions pages.

Refund information
- No public, detailed refund policy (for deposits, term fees, withdrawal mid‑term, visa delays, or other circumstances) is published on the admissions or general information pages accessible in the college's public materials.

Fee payment options (credit card, bank transfer, local payment methods)
- The college's public admissions pages do not publish a detailed list of accepted payment methods (for example: credit card, bank transfer, wire, online payment gateway, or specific bank account details) or instructions for international payments.

Short summary of findings (what was searched and why a numeric fee schedule is not provided here)
- UWC Mahindra publishes admissions information, the fact that it is a fully residential two‑year IB college, and that a large proportion of students attend on full or partial scholarship, but the college's publicly available admissions and information pages do not contain an itemised fee schedule, term/annual fee amounts, boarding fees, billing timetable, published refund terms, or payment‑method details. The absence of any publicly posted fee table or downloadable fee schedule on the college's admissions and information pages means no authoritative numeric fee figures (per term or per year) can be provided here.

Boarding Arrangements

Students live on campus in wadas, residential clusters that mix nationalities, backgrounds, and year groups. There are no day students; everyone boards. Each wada houses about 50 students and contains several houses, with a typical house having two rooms, two bathrooms, and a shared courtyard for four to six students (usually two first-year and two second-year). Wada parents and house advisors support daily life, and weekly wada meetings help build community.

Food Options

The Cafeteria serves buffet-style meals for three daily sessions: Breakfast 8.00 am – 9.00 am, Lunch 1.00 pm – 2.00 pm, and Dinner 7.00 pm – 8.00 pm. The menu provides vegetarian and non-vegetarian options with allergen labeling, and student representatives liaise with catering to reflect the diverse community. Wada Kitchens allow residents to cook their own meals, and a campus coffee shop offers quick meals and refreshments.

House System

Residential life is organized around five wadas. Each wada houses about 50 students and contains roughly six student houses; a house has two rooms, two bathrooms, and a shared courtyard. Four to six students live in each house, usually two from the first year and two from the second.

Governance and Ownership

MUWCI is governed by a Board of Trustees, including Anand Mahindra as Chairman and other leaders such as Anuradha Mahindra and Uday Kotak. The college is a registered charity in India. MUWCI is India's only UWC college.

Curriculum

IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) is offered to students aged 16 to 19. It is a two-year programme with six subjects across six groups; students study three subjects at Higher Level and three at Standard Level and complete the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge, and CAS. MUWCI goes beyond the IB minimum requirements with MUWCI CORE, the in-house curriculum that sits alongside the IB and focuses on the campus-specific questions and challenges. MUWCI CORE includes four modules: Culture and Peace Studies, Sustainability and Climate, Health and Well-Being, and Digital Literacy and AI. Students graduate with both the IB Diploma and the MUWCI Diploma, reflecting participation and achievement across academics and campus life. The campus itself functions as a curriculum, with experiential learning through Triveni, Outdoor Education, and Grants-based projects, and a living, diverse community on a 175-acre hilltop reserve.

Gifted and Talented

Co-curricular life is student-led with faculty mentors, enabling motivated students to pursue leadership and independent projects. The Triveni Programme provides an enhanced CAS program, year-round experiential weeks, and a series of seminars with regional weeks and Experts-in-Residence, encouraging advanced inquiry and service learning. Project Week supports student-initiated NGO partnerships across India, enabling high-impact, self-directed projects.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

MUWCI places student health and wellbeing at the centre of campus life. A layered approach to support exists: faculty advisors who live in the same wada as students, wada parents who maintain the residential clusters, the Head of Student Life, and on-campus psychologists available for confidential sessions. The approach is largely preventive. Through regular Social Emotional Learning sessions, students learn to recognise and address challenges early. Students are encouraged to build wellbeing habits, including daily physical activity, time for reflection, and a healthy sleep routine.

Mental Wellbeing

MUWCI prioritizes mental health. There is a full-time wellbeing psychologist on campus, available for confidential one-on-one consultations. The psychologist also organises group sessions on stress management, health and wellness techniques, and other areas relevant to student life. For students who need additional support beyond what the on-campus psychologist can provide, two external psychologists are available, with one external psychologist visiting the campus twice a week. ARDEI and inclusion work alongside mental health support to ensure every student feels valued and heard.

Safeguarding

MUWCI has a dedicated Safeguarding Committee and a published safeguarding policy aligned with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and India's POCSO Act. Safeguarding is framed as a shared responsibility: staff, students, and faculty uphold the Code of Conduct and report concerns promptly. The Designated Safeguarding Lead is Tanya Sharma. Concerns can be directed to safeguarding@muwci.net. UWC International provides independent reporting mechanisms for any member of the wider UWC community. ARDEI and inclusion work alongside safeguarding to ensure every student feels valued and heard.

Admissions

1) Choose your application route. There are three official pathways: the UWC National Committee System (recommended for most applicants and offering needs-based scholarship support); the Global Selection Programme for students who can fully self-fund; and the International Application Pathway for students who need financial support but do not have access to a national committee. All three routes lead to the same rigorous selection process, with differences in who runs the process and what financial support is available. Indian citizens, NRIs, or OCI holders can apply through UWC India, which runs its own process. Prospective applicants can register their interest to receive guidance and next steps.

Scholarships

2) College allocation after nomination. After nomination by a national committee, students are allocated to a UWC college by UWC International. Allocation takes into account factors such as the student's indicated preferences, the number of places available at MUWCI, the overall composition of the incoming cohort, and any special circumstances noted by the national committee. Students allocated to MUWCI receive formal notification from the college. 3) Accepting your place. Once a place is confirmed, the student must formally accept and complete enrolment paperwork, confirm financial arrangements, submit required documentation, and complete a health declaration. 4) Scholarship and fee confirmation. For students arriving through the national committee route, the scholarship allocation is confirmed as part of the acceptance process, with a clear breakdown of what the scholarship covers and any family contribution, plus how payments are structured across the two years. 5) Before you arrive. Between accepting the place and arriving on campus, families complete practical steps such as visa arrangements for international students (if applicable), travel bookings, kit lists, and pre-arrival orientation materials. 6) Arrival and orientation. First-year students typically arrive in August; orientation lasts about two weeks before the academic programme begins, and second-year students arrive a few days earlier to help with settling in. 7) Begin the two-year IB Diploma Programme. Following orientation, students commence the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, which spans two years.

Curriculum

Victorious Kidss Educares is an IB World School offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP). The language of instruction is English, and students study an additional language. The curriculum blends IB education with Vedantic philosophy. In the Diploma Programme, students study six subjects concurrently: two languages, one from Individuals and Societies, one from Sciences, one from Mathematics, and one from Arts or another group, with interdisciplinary options such as Environmental Systems and Societies. The Diploma Core comprises Theory of Knowledge (TOK), the Extended Essay (EE), and Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS); assessment includes on-screen examinations and eAssessments, with assessment days and results disclosed after two days. The academic year runs from June to May, and inclusive education and SEN support are provided.

Higher Education Progression

Career progression is supported by a dedicated Career Counseling Cell. From MYP 1-2, orientation is provided; from MYP 3 onwards, career exploration is enhanced through psychometric assessments, guest lectures, and research opportunities. The Cell guides students in creating career portfolios, resumes, and subject selections aligned with their aspirations, and organizes career fairs. Students also explore global university pathways to inform decisions about future studies.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school encourages students to become responsible global citizens through service and leadership. Students engage in community service, explore the United Nations, take on roles in the Student Council, and express themselves through art and theory. They participate in enriching international excursions, broadening perspectives and empathy. The learning environment promotes collaboration, inquiry, and the development of social and communication skills. This holistic approach supports emotional, social, and ethical growth alongside academic learning.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The school provides inclusive, holistic education with additional support for students with special educational needs. Special academic provisions are offered with proper documentation, and the school follows IB guidance on learning support and assessment accommodations. The number of SEN students per class is restricted, and reasonable adjustments are made based on available resources. The school counsellors consider each case individually, and parents must provide complete SEN records to ensure appropriate support. If needed, students with SEN may be referred to specialized schools for optimal development, while those identified at risk receive ongoing learning support.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

English is the language of instruction in all grades. Students study an additional language as part of the IB programme. The school supports a diverse student body and is inclusive of learners from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. The language policy states that English is the medium of instruction and that an additional language must be studied. The school also notes the option of a bilingual diploma within the IB framework, with language choices guided by IB procedures.

Mental Wellbeing

The school places well-being at the center of education. The well-being focus ensures that students are supported in their emotional, mental, and physical growth. The Early Years Handbook and related materials emphasize the holistic development of children, including emotional and creative aspects, underscoring the importance of well-being in overall growth. Co-curricular activities and a broad IB program are designed to support healthy, balanced development across academic and personal domains.

Safeguarding

The school aims to develop an inclusive, friendly, healthy, and protective environment for students. School counsellors and a psychologist support students, including those with special educational needs. The admissions and inclusion processes involve initial talks with parents, documentation, and assessments to ensure appropriate safeguarding and support, with IB alignment guiding decision-making. The policy emphasizes safeguarding and protective practices as integral to a safe school environment. The inclusion and SEN provisions are implemented with careful consideration of each case, ensuring students' safety and well-being within the IB framework.

Waitlist

Wait Pools: When the number of eligible applicants exceeds the availability of spaces for a particular grade in an academic year, parent admission applications may be placed in a wait pool subject to availability.

When placing an application in a wait pool, we try to provide the candidate with a realistic assessment of the chances and possible timing for admittance.
