Admissions, Kalvium

Tejas works on the Kalvium admissions team, with a particular focus on Karnataka. Most of his week is spent in conversation with parents and 12th-standard students weighing engineering programmes, partner universities, and the KNET route. These are the same decisions he writes about on the blog. He previously worked in edtech at BYJU's. Writes the calm-explainer pieces for families who want a straight answer, not a marketing pitch. Detailed bio pending team review.
