Marking a significant step in its national growth strategy, the Shaheen Group of Institutions has strengthened its presence in the national capital with the launch and expansion of Shaheen Academy Delhi, aimed at delivering high-quality, competitive exam-focused education to students in the region.

The expansion reflects the group’s broader vision to bring its established academic model—known for discipline, conceptual clarity, and mentorship—to North India. The Delhi academy will primarily focus on preparing students for medical entrance examinations like NEET, while also fostering holistic academic development among learners from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.

At a press meet here today, Dr. Abdul Qadeer, Founder and Chairman, Shaheen Group of Institutions, emphasized the institution’s commitment to inclusive and transformative education. “Our goal is to ensure that quality education is not limited by geography or background. With Shaheen Academy Delhi, we aim to replicate our proven success model and empower students in the national capital to achieve their aspirations,” he said.

The Delhi expansion forms part of Shaheen’s larger nationwide outreach, under which it has been rolling out a series of flagship academic programmes designed to bridge educational gaps and create global opportunities for students.

Among its key initiatives is the Madrasa Plus programme, which integrates madrasa students into the formal education system through a highly personalised teaching model. With a 1:6 teacher-student ratio, the programme has reported around 80% success in Class X examinations and has already been implemented in over 100 madrasas in collaboration with the Karnataka government.

Another major offering is the 5-Year Integrated Graduation Programme, which combines pre-university education with undergraduate studies such as BA, BCom, and BCA, alongside Alimiyath courses. The programme aims to strike a balance between modern academic learning and traditional Islamic education, supported by structured residential facilities and mentoring.

The institution also highlighted its Pre Plus Two (Pre-NEET/JEE Foundation Programme), designed for students who have passed or failed Class X. Beginning with an Academic Intensive Care Unit (AICU) to strengthen fundamentals, the course progresses into a rigorous two-year coaching framework aligned with NCERT standards, supported by continuous assessment and mentoring.

In addition, the MBBS Abroad Programme offers an affordable pathway for Indian students to pursue medical education in countries such as Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, with comprehensive support systems including accommodation, academic guidance, and campus facilities.

Further expanding its global outlook, the group has introduced the Shaheen Australian International School, which delivers education based on the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) curriculum, focusing on inquiry-based learning and critical thinking to prepare students for international academic and professional environments.
