The office of International Relations and Higher Studies hosted the Education Fair on Friday, September 23, 2022, to provide thorough guidance about the higher education universities and programmes available across the globe. The event featured major USA and UK universities, including the University of Rochester, USA, University of Greenwich, UK, University of Essex, UK, University of Arizona, USA, and many more.
The education fair began with an introduction to study abroad programmes. Students witnessed a detailed PowerPoint presentation on the general aspects of higher education abroad, like the qualifying examinations, VISA, various coaching available, fee waivers, etc. The education fair was conducted to give the students accurate information from the streams they want to choose to the scopes of that streams in a particular state or country.
Roop Sagar from BTech CSE also expressed how he had no clarity about the processes, requirements, scholarships, etc., before attending such sessions and was able to get a good picture of his aspirations after interacting with the university representatives. He recollected how the Office of International Relations and Higher Studies has always assisted him with accurate guidance whenever he was in doubt.
“As someone who wants to pursue higher education by specialising in AI and ML, I am thankful to SRM University- AP for giving exposure to foreign universities that offer affordable courses and internships,” said Yaswanth from BTech CSE as he shared thoughts on the Education Fair.
The representatives of the universities were in awe of students who had done their homework beforehand of the event and were pleased to answer as many questions as possible. “SRM University is one of the leading universities in India, there is no doubt about that, and here we get many students who are extremely talented and are suitable for post-graduation programmes and research,” said Amritpal Kaur, Senior Programme Officer of the University of Rochester.
