Uttaranchal University
successfully organised the International Education Fair 2026 at its
campus in Dehradun on 14 October 2026. Organised by the Office of
International Affairs, in association with the Internal Quality
Assurance Cell (IQAC) and in collaboration with StudyIn, New Delhi,
the fair provided a dynamic platform for students to explore international
higher education opportunities, interact with global university
representatives, and gain valuable insights into pursuing academic programmes
abroad.
The event commenced with an
inaugural session attended by Shri Jitender Joshi, President; Ms. Ankita Joshi,
Vice President; Prof. Dharam Buddhi, Vice Chancellor; and Prof. Rajesh
Bahuguna, Pro Vice Chancellor of Uttaranchal University.
The programme featured a university presentation
and interaction with international university representatives and StudyIn
officials, highlighting global academic collaboration and international
education opportunities.
The fair brought together
representatives from several prestigious international universities and
institutions across Europe, Australia, and Italy, including Swinburne
University of Technology, the University of Dundee, Queen Mary University of
London, POLIMI Graduate School of Management, the University of Essex, the
University of Northampton, the University of Reading, the University of
Aberdeen, and the University of Wollongong.
Their participation enabled
students to explore diverse academic pathways and gain first-hand information
about international programmes, admission criteria, application procedures, and
study opportunities across different destinations.
A key highlight of the fair was the discipline-specific
counselling across Engineering, Management, Computing Sciences,
Applied and Life Sciences, Law, Pharmacy, Liberal Arts and Humanities, Hotel
and Hospitality Management, Health Sciences, Nursing, and Agriculture.
Direct interactions with international university representatives helped
students understand programme options, eligibility, admission processes, and
global education pathways aligned with their academic interests and career
aspirations. The sessions also enabled delegates to address student queries,
fostering informed academic decisions and cross-border educational
collaboration.
Students expressed positive feedback on the
International Study Fair, appreciating the opportunity to interact directly
with international university representatives and gain valuable insights into
global study options, admission requirements, scholarships, and career
prospects. They found the discipline-specific counselling informative and
helpful in exploring international academic pathways aligned with their
interests and aspirations.
The event was coordinated by Er.
Rajesh Deorari, Director, IQAC, and Er. Sudhir Jugran, Assistant Manager, IQAC,
with the active support of the school leadership, the international admission
coordinator, faculty members, and student volunteers representing various
schools of the University. Mr. Jatin N. Khurana, Manager - Strategic Alliances,
StudyIn, New Delhi, represented the collaborating organisation and played a
pivotal role in facilitating engagement between the University and the
participating international institutions. An informal networking session
