New Delhi: Eighteen
top Australian universities, including five listed among the
world's top 100, are taking part in a virtual education fair here,
a statement said Monday.
Hosted by IDP Education, the country's top university placement
forum for higher education in the US and Australia, the event was
inaugurated Monday.
Students are chatting live with selected university
representatives to know about study modules and placements
queries. A round-the-clock window for offline queries is
augmenting the online initiative with more inputs, the statement
added.
The fair would help students in applying for fee waivers and
scholarships if shortlisted by the registered universities.
The regional director of IDP for South Asia Harmeet Pental said:
"The virtual fair was a step to guide students to the right
options for higher studies.
"We have conceptualized this fair with a very uncomplicated
approach to serve a large group. The IDP offline support will be
for formalities like application submission, offer acceptance,
visa counselling and tuition fee payment."
IDP Education has more than 70 counselling centres in 24
countries. It is jointly owned by 38 Australian universities.
In 2010, IDP commenced counselling for US. IDP is now the largest
service provider with over 80 US universities.
Currently, India has 15 counselling centres in 13 cities of India
guiding thousands of students and their families through their
university search.
The fair ends Jan 28.
