April 2021 Fair
On 09 April 2021, we held our 7th College Fair focusing on pre-college opportunities offered by colleges and prestigious organizations. We had 1800+ registrations from across the globe including universities like Sarah Lawrence, Ohio, and Krea. The participating universities and organisations presented their pre-college and student enrichment programs in 15-minute public sessions. After this, each organisation had its own booth where students could interact with the representatives in small groups or 1:1 with admissions officers.

College Fair Tables
Each college had individual tables assigned to them, where students could ‘take a seat’ and converse with college representatives directly through video and chat messages.
The Stage
At ‘The Stage’, we hosted talks and webinars on topics ranging from essay writing to applying for financial aid, and future career paths. It was a great opportunity to hear leading educators and experienced admissions deans and directors share their insight and knowledge. You can find recordings of these sessions below!
