It will bring on board many institutes to choose from in France, including HEC Paris and Skema Business School. “It is an amazing opportunity for students planning to study abroad,” cites Shimoni Jain, AF head of corporate training and marketing, adding, “They don’t have to speak to an agent to get the necessary information. All experts will be right there to answer their questions.”

US ahoy!
Often students who have applied for international universities get selected by more than one institute. Choosing one over another is like walking on a knife’s edge.
The US Consulate General Mumbai is organising a virtual session to solve this conundrum. In this webinar, they will highlight important factors like finance, career opportunities and aspirations before making a final choice.
“The Public Diplomacy section of the US Consulate General Mumbai hosts monthly virtual sessions on various aspects of #StudyInTheUS in association with EducationUSA,” shared Brenda Soya, US Consulate public diplomacy officer. She added that at this event, an EducationUSA adviser will help Indian students who have received multiple admission offers from the countries select the right fit.
EducationUSA is a US government-supported, non-profit network of over 400 advising centres worldwide that provide accurate, current, and comprehensive guidance to international students planning opt for higher education opportunities in the United States. The session is aimed at both under-graduate and postgraduate students. Parents can also attend the session with prior registration.
On: April 13, 6 pm to 7.30 pm
