World Education Fair, 2012

The issue of higher education is of major concern for students in India and abroad. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in a particular field, several students dream of pursuing higher studies abroad. But most of the times, the students find themselves totally at a loss when they have to zero down on a particular university. They have a number of countries to choose from and the number of universities in each of the countries confuses them further. Before applying to a particular institute, the students must know whether the course they are seeking is well sought after there. Under such circumstances, proper guidance is required to enlighten the students about the various aspects of education abroad. The World Education Fair, 2012 aims to do just that.

The World Education Fair, 2012 will be conducted by an organization called Edwise. This company provides education solutions to students and informs them about higher education in other countries like the US, UK, New Zealand, France, Ireland, Switzerland, and Canada. Edwise has been recognized in the global arena by the Association of International Educators, Association of Australia Education Representation of India, and New Zealand Specialist Agent.

This fair will provide a common platform where the students and the delegates of various international universities will have a chance to interact. This way the candidates will get to know about the different courses that the institutes offer and why they should choose a particular university over the others. Seminars covering a variety of topics like visas, scholarships and loans, and best MBA destinations will also be held at the fair. Students will have a lot of information to take back home and this would definitely enable them to make up their minds and have a confident approach towards the application process. The World Education Fair will also have the provision of spot admissions where the students can submit their application forms and get special admission fee waivers, too.

In order to make an appointment for personal interaction with the delegates, the students will have to register themselves with Edwise. The fair is scheduled to be held in 11 cities throughout India and the dates have been mentioned below:
