The Mega University Fair

The Mega University Fair is an online webinar taking place on 30th January from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. Representatives from 9 different schools across India are collaborating to put together a powerhouse event for TISB students from Grades 9 to 12. Students will get a chance to understand the Indian college admissions process from the perspective of an applicant from an international school. We contacted Grade 12 College Counselling prefects, Abhigyan and Mahika, to see what they had to say about the event.

The Mega University Fair is a select event, where a group of the most prestigious Universities in India are attending. Admissions Officers will be participating from: Flame University, NMIMS, Symbiosis University, Shiv Nadar University, VIT. Bennett University, OP Jindal University, Mahindra University and BITS Pilani. Each university will begin with a 10-minute presentation about the unique aspects of their school, their admissions process, and specifics on entrance examinations. This will be followed by a question-and-answer session, where students will get the opportunity to ask any questions pertaining to admissions to Indian universities, as well as life in on campus.

As prefects and Grade 12 students, Mahika and Abhigyan, know how difficult it is for students graduating from an international board to apply to Indian Universities. It requires hours of research as each university has a different process, application, and entrance exams. “This Mega University Fair is a must-attend for all students, as it provides a detailed introduction to this process, and allows you to ask questions specific to your interests and application”, explains Mahika, who herself is excited about co-leading the event with Abhigyan. 

Through this Mega University Fair, students will get a chance to interact with some of the top universities in the country, excelling in subject areas ranging from liberal arts to engineering. It will be a one-stop shop kind of situation, where students can get all their doubts cleared about applications to Indian universities and also gain more awareness about the programs offered at the participating universities. The event will happen over Zoom, and the registration link will be sent to all students in the coming days. 

Indian universities are on the rising on the global scale, so the Mega University Fair is an opportunity to learn about the different course offerings and specialities of each university. “We would strongly encourage all students to attend this event specifically, and also events of this nature in general, as these events can broaden your horizon in terms of the options available to you when you choose to apply”, concludes Mahika.
