Speaking on the partnership, Prof Nandita Singh Dean International, Panjab University, said, “The current time period – deemed as the research season – is crucial for students contemplating to study abroad. As part of their research, they seek various sources and invest heavily in having all the right information to choose the college/ university that is the best match for the course and career of their choice. Their usual sources of information include online search, educational fairs and counsellor sessions. We are glad to host this fair as this Will help our students to make an informed decision about studying in the UK.”

It can be one of the best too. We want to help you make the most informed decision possible for your future.
