Ireland Education Fairs Begin In Delhi With 17 Universities, Offering Indian Students Course, Scholarship & Visa Guidance

University representatives from 17 Irish universities arrived in New Delhi on Monday to inaugurate the five-city India Education Fairs tour, offering Indian students firsthand experiences with the universities and information on courses, scholarships, and career opportunities. The event, held at the Shangri-La Eros New Delhi, was opened by Kevin Kelly, the Irish Ambassador to India.

The fairs, which will also take place in Pune, Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru during October, aim to facilitate interactions between Indian students and Irish universities.

Irish Ambassador Kelly highlighted the growing number of Indian students studying in Irish universities, emphasizing that the fairs would allow them to explore their options in Ireland. "India and Ireland have a longstanding relationship founded on education, talent and ideas. Indian students have now become an indispensable part of Irish campuses and these Fairs provide them with a wonderful opportunity to discover what Ireland offers," Kelly stated.

A separate session focused on assisting students with the visa application process, as visa requirements often play a crucial role in students' decision-making. The seminar covered documentation, timelines, and financial planning, allowing students, parents, and education agents to ask questions directly to the visa team. Elizabeth McHenry, the Regional Manager – Asia & MENA at Education in Ireland, expressed her enthusiasm for the fair, stating that it provides students and families with direct access to institutions and valuable information as they make decisions about studying in Ireland.
