What to Expect

A day packed with insights for your study abroad journey

Keynote Speeches

Hear from admissions deans and education leaders from top universities in the US, UK, and Australia sharing insider knowledge on what makes applications stand out.

Breakout Sessions

Deep-dive sessions on specific topics like visa processes, financial planning, and choosing the right college — led by experienced counselors and educators.

Scholarship Guidance

Learn proven strategies for finding and winning scholarships from experts who manage over $200 million in annual financial aid for international students.

College Discovery

Explore universities across multiple countries, compare programs, and get your questions answered directly by admissions representatives and alumni.

Financial Preparedness

This event helps you understand the real costs of studying abroad so every college conversation starts from a position of clarity

Scholarship Opportunities

Financial aid officers, admissions teams, and scholarship coordinators from participating institutions are at this fair to have it directly.

Parents and guardians are the decision makers on loans, funds, and financial risk. This fair is designed for that conversation too.

Immigration Preparedness

Counsellors and global outreach teams at this fair work through visa timelines and documentation requirements for every destination country represented

The timeline

1

Passport (new or renewal)

4 to 8 weeks

2

English proficiency test

6 to 12 weeks

3

Financial documentation

4 to 8 weeks

4

University application and decision

4 to 16 weeks

5

Visa application after offer

3 to 8 weeks

Starting three months before the intended intake is already late. Counsellors at this fair help students identify where they are in this timeline and what moves first.

Documents every application requires

Valid passport (minimum 6 months validity; some countries require 12)
Final offer letter from the university
Proof of financial ability or education loan sanction letter
English proficiency score
Academic transcripts, attested where required

Country-specific requirements

Visa requirements are set by the destination country, not the university. Financial thresholds, document formats, and processing times differ across the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and Europe. Global outreach teams from each institution at this fair can speak to what their specific country requires.

Language requirements beyond instruction

A program taught in English does not automatically waive the host country's language requirement. Germany, France, and several other countries have language requirements tied to visa status. Students planning for non-English-speaking countries can get this clarified directly at the fair.

Academic Eligibility: What colleges actually require

Admissions teams at this fair go beyond what is published on a university website. Bring your academic record and your questions.

View Sessions

Indian mark sheets require credential evaluation for most international applications. WES is the standard in North America. UK ENIC applies in the United Kingdom.

Indian percentage (approx.)US GPA equivalent
90 and above4.0
80 to 893.5 to 3.9
70 to 793.0 to 3.4
60 to 692.5 to 2.9
Below 60Below 2.5

Minimum requirements vary by program. Admissions officers at this fair can tell you where your profile stands for specific programs.

The fair works better when students come ready

This is not a general information session. Admissions officers, professors, scholarship coordinators, and counsellors are here to have specific conversations. The more prepared a student is, the more they take away.

Know the program, not just the college name.

Representatives answer specific questions. A student who has read the program structure gets a different conversation than one who has not.

Rankings measure research output, not fit.

Program structure, faculty research areas, placement data, and campus culture matter more for most students than a global ranking. Ask representatives about outcomes, not reputation.

Admissions is not an entrance exam.

There is no single score that determines admission. Statements of purpose are read. Recommendation letters are contacted. Inconsistencies in academic record are noticed and asked about. Professors and admissions officers at this fair can walk students through what a strong application looks like.

Parents make the final decision in most Indian families.

Representatives know this. Bring them.
