How is this fair different from others?

The Indian Education and Career Fair, SAPE is conducting, is the oldest education expo in Nepal. Other followed us after our huge success. We are organising the fair to facilitate Nepali students looking for higher education opportunities in India. A majority of the colleges and universities participating in the fair are government-run and renowned. Most of the students who went to Indian colleges through us in the past are doing extremely good in their studies. That’s why our fair comes first when it comes to Indian education. Through our fair, students can directly talk to the officials from the universities and colleges they want to visit, unlike other fairs which hardly provide such opportunities.

 

What types of institutions are coming this time?

As always, we are bringing a wide range of colleges and universities—from the expensive and reputed ones to average colleges with lower tuition costs. Over 50 colleges and universities are participating in the fair, and they represent 50 different cities from 22 states of India. Students can choose from a wide range of options.

 

What makes India a good education destination for Nepali students?

There are a number of reasons for Nepali students to choose India for higher study. The first one is hassle-free entry to India. Nepali students do not require undergoing any sort of visa formalities to enter India, to study there and even to get a job. Similarly, Nepal and India share a similar kind of socio-cultural environment that gives Nepali students a homely environment in India. In addition, students are exposed to a variety of career opportunities there. They can find good jobs in multinational companies. As the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, the popular higher education destinations for Nepali students, have adopted tougher visa rules, India has become more popular academic destination among them.

 

What is your suggestion to the students on selecting the right academic institutions?

The most important thing is the students should first decide what kind of colleges they are looking for. Then they should collect the information about the colleges, and these kinds of fairs fair could be the right place for gathering the information. They can also check the websites of the colleges. Students should check whether the college has received affiliation from All India Council for Technical Education if they want to study engineering and IT. Medical students should find out whether the college has received accreditation from the Medical Council of India, Nursing Council and University Grants Commission. I also ask parents to directly visit the college and university if possible. The guardians should talk to the college authority every month after enrolling their children.
