Named after the man who started it all.
In 1967, Hardit Dhaliwal opened the doors of what would become New Careers Academy. He was a pioneer — one of the first teachers in this region to insist that defence coaching had to be personal, honest, and built around each student's weak spots. When most institutes taught crowded batches from thick notebooks, he kept a register where every aspirant's progress was tracked by hand, every week, without fail.
That register built officers. It built careers. For 59 years, three generations of the Dhaliwal family — Hardit, his son Capt. Nirmal Dhaliwal, and now me — have kept that standard alive, one student at a time.
We started building Hardit AI in 2025 — not as a marketing product, but as a quiet experiment. Could we encode my grandfather's method into software? Could we give every NCA student the same register-level clarity he gave his students in 1967?
The answer came when NDA and CDS released their answer keys. The majority of our NDA students crossed 400+. Our CDS students scored 85+ out of 100 in English — a section where most aspirants lose 15 to 20 marks. These weren't one or two toppers. This was a batch-wide jump. The kind of jump that only happens when every student gets tracked, every weak topic gets flagged, every week gets a plan.
My grandfather made sure his students were names, not numbers. Hardit AI does that now for every aspirant who walks through our door — online or offline, in Mohali or from anywhere in India.
"My grandfather opened his register for every parent who walked in. They always knew where their child stood. Hardit AI is that register, reimagined for 2026 — in every aspirant's pocket, in every parent's WhatsApp, every Sunday morning." — HARTAJ DHALIWAL, DIRECTOR · GRANDSON OF HARDIT DHALIWAL
Hardit started it in 1967. Hardit AI carries it forward.
