11th Education Fair kicks off in Yangon with scholarships to study in India

The 11th Indian Education Fair commenced at the India Centre in Yangon on 26 March, with keynote addresses by Indian Ambassador to Myanmar Mr Abhay Thakur, event organizers and various officials.
The fair features ten prestigious private universities from India that hold National Assessment and Accreditation Council-NAAC accreditation and National Institutional Ranking Framework-NIRF rankings. It has already attracted over 400 participants, including educational enthusiasts and students from both state and private schools who have recently completed their matriculation or Grade 12 examinations.
The event provides Myanmar students with access to scholarship opportunities at more than 20 of India’s top universities and colleges, while offering a gateway to a massive academic network comprising over 1,000 universities and 4,200 colleges. Furthermore, the fair highlights the benefits of India’s world-class education system, which is noted for being highly affordable in terms of both tuition fees and living expenses.
In addition to the special scholarships available, the organizers announced that the exhibition will extend beyond Yangon. The fair is scheduled to be held in Mandalay at the Mingalar Mandalay Hotel on 30 March, ensuring that students in Upper Myanmar also have the chance to explore these international academic pathways. — ASH/KZL
