The largest fair dedicated to studying in India is back again for the 6th consecutive year on 2nd and 3rd February 2013 at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center-Bangkok, presented by AFAIRS Exhibitions & Media Pvt Ltd, Asia’s leading education fair organiser, headquartered in India.
The event will provide parents and potential students with the opportunity to meet representatives of India’s finest boarding schools, universities, colleges and English learning centres, all under one roof and, get all the essential information relating to educational facilities in India.
Representatives and admission authorities from these institutions will be on hand to answer all queries and offer guidance on accommodation, applications and information regarding admission procedures.
The fair is supported by Embassy of India, Bangkok, The India-Thai Chamber of Commerce, India-Thai Business Association, and Global Talent Consultants.
India’s Ambassador to Thailand, His Excellency Mr. Anil Wadhwa, is attending the press briefing.
“The signing of the joint agreement on educational cooperation last year between Thailand and India has opened up a whole realm of possibilities for Thai students planning to pursue their studies in India,” says Ambassador Anil Wadhwa. “The two countries have long had strong cultural and trading links, and now these are being enhanced in the field of education.”
Sanjeev Bolia, Founder and Managing Director of Afairs, says that India’s world-class educational institutes offer young Thai people the opportunity to learn in an environment they will find highly congenial and supportive.
The event will cater to parents of children aged between 8 and 18 searching for a good boarding school for their child, as well as college and university students. It will highlight the strengths of the Indian education system, such as the emphasis Indian schools and colleges place on English and on information technology, their globally recognised qualifications, their multicultural learning environments and the reasonable cost of their programmes.
Residential schools from across the Indian sub-continent, offering primary, middle and higher secondary level education will participate at the 6th TGIEF. These will offer the ICSE and CBSE Indian board curriculums, as well as international curriculums such as the International Baccalaureate (IB) and the IGCSE Cambridge International Examinations (UK) “A” and “O” level curriculums.
With the promise of providing excellent infrastructural facilities, teaching staff, grooming, outdoor activities and sports, these schools will also offer spot admissions and spot counselling facilities at the exhibition.
Parents considering sending their children to a boarding school can meet representatives of a number of top boarding schools from all over India, some of which offer an international curriculum at very reasonable cost.
India’s educational institutions are globally recognized for their quality and as good value for money. The tertiary level educational institutions in India offer a wide range of courses in the fields of Engineering, Medicine, Agriculture, Management, Humanities, Social Sciences, Fine Arts, Science and also in emerging areas of Bio-Technology, Bio-Informatics, Space Technology, Robotics etc. which will be on offer by the participating universities and colleges with their undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
English learning centers participating will offer short-term and long-term English learning programmes.
“ Indian institutions are vibrant centers offering a multi cultural environment, with English as the medium of instruction and a strong emphasis on IT. The fact that an Indian education not only offers students a global competitive edge, but also comes at very affordable rates, compared to an education in the US, UK, Australia or Europe, is another vital reason for its popularity” further added Mr.Sanjeev Bolia — The Organizer of the Fair.
At the Activity Zone visitors can also participate in a quiz and games, and enjoy Bollywood dance performances.
