Harmeet Pental, Regional Director (South Asia, North America & UK), IDP Education, said, “IDP offers Indian students the right advice and top-quality assistance to choose the right course and university in the UK, U.S. and Canada to meet their career aspirations.  IDP has over 160 university partners across these 3 destinations and is best placed to offer students the choice to find the course best suited to them. 

IDP recognizes that going for higher education abroad entails an high expense, so it is important to take the correct decision the first time itself. It therefore provides students an all-inclusive platform to facilitate exchange of valuable information and get proper guidance.”

Close to 80,000 Indian students go abroad for higher studies every year to the five English speaking countries, namely Australia, UK, U.S, Canada and New Zealand. Majority opt for Master’s programmes. Some of the most popular ones of these include Business Management, Engineering, and Computer Science. There has also been a growing interest of students at the undergraduate level as well in subjects such as environmental studies, journalism and film studies.

“We understand that shortlisting universities and working through the application process can be a bit challenging for students. Our goal therefore is to assist and guide them through all the steps from initial exploratory stage, application submission to safe arrival on campus,” added  Pental.

IDP’s Education Fair is an open platform for all students to explore their prospects of studying in other countries. Students can apply directly to the universities of their choice and get detailed information on scholarships, ranking, visa, etc. by IDP’s experienced education experts. The Fair gives them an opportunity to interact face-to-face with university representatives and get answers to their queries. IDP Fair endeavors to help students make their dream of an education abroad come true.
