History of MUWCI

Mahindra United World College of India (MUWCI) was the 8th institution to become a UWC member. MUWCI opened its doors on November 28, 1997, furthering the UWC mission to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. The inaugural class comprised 91 students from around the world.

Since then, MUWCI has grown both in terms of people as well as resources. From launching a biodiversity reserve to project-based learning opportunities, we strive to offer our students a unique and unparalleled college experience.

MUWCI’s Pioneering IB++ Approach

MUWCI is one of the leaders in the shift to an IB education in India, being the third school in the country to offer the IB Diploma Programme. Like Atlantic College, MUWCI has also played an important role in developing the IB curriculum.

We have piloted and developed the curriculum for many IB subjects in our areas of expertise:

International Education

Global Politics

World Religions

Creativity and the Arts

Literature and Performance

Film Studies

Interdisciplinary Education/Global Concerns

World Studies Extended Essay

The IB invites only a small number of schools to pilot new curriculum/subjects based on their demonstrated expertise in curricular innovation, advanced faculty experience, and the expectation that the school will attend and contribute to curriculum improvement workshops at the Hague.

We also go well beyond the IB CAS requirements with our intensive Triveni Programme that all students must participate in. The programme includes both on- and off-campus service, creativities, and activities, as well as 4 full weeks of project-based learning in various parts of India. Our deep expertise in delivering CAS programmes bring several international schools to our campus for customised CAS Programmes.
