More than 4000 students visited The Everest Hotel in Baneshwar, said the press coordinator of the fair, Ramesh Puri. He claimed that the fair was successful in connecting the students and the colleges as well as providing the required information to the interested students. [break]
Organized by The Knowledge Network, the fair had 50 stalls giving information on more than 150 courses offered by 80 institutes. According to Puri, students are attracted to Indian colleges because the language, culture and the overall environment are agreeable to them. Visiting students stated that they want to study in India because of the belief that those who have Indian degrees get better jobs and better pay.
Nitesh KC, who’s leaving to study MBA in ITM University in Gwalior, India, said the practical approach to studies is what attracted him. Though the fees are steeper in India, the fact that employees prefer those with Indian degrees has made him decide to study there, he said.
Universities like Sharda University, Vignan University, and International Group of Institute have participated in the fair.
