During the World Education Fair too, our efficiently trained counselors are ever ready to help you make the right choice by dusting off your confusion regarding which career/program you can choose. Those confused can visit the fair and have one on one interaction with the counselors. Students might be asked to take small on the spot tests, or aptitude tests, or just basic counseling can be provided depending on their queries, doubts and confusion.

Gain Insight on the Visa Process:

The visa process as we all know is cumbersome and complicated. As visa is one of most important aspect in the whole admission process, understanding how things work and process becomes crucial. However you need not worry. The World Education Fair will also help you in this area.

Understands the Pre-requisite of applying to the Universities Abroad:

Apart from the financial abilities, there are other requirements that one must fulfill in order to be able to study abroad. A part of these requirements include the English proficiency tests, which every aspiring student is expected to take and clear. There are three major forms of tests, The IELTS, TOEFL and PTE. These are mandatory to test one’s English speaking ability. These tests vary from country to country. While some countries accept TOEFL, other accepts IELTS and the rest PTE. To understand the nitty gritties revolving around these English proficiency tests such as the minimum score required for each test, ways to prepare for the tests, coaching classes, etc. attending the World Education Fair will largely help.

Alumnus- your helping hand

January 2019

Deciding to study abroad is a long process. It involves innumerable aspects like deciding on the country you want to study in, the universities you want to apply for, choosing the program you wish to study, managing your finances, finding accommodation, preparing various documents, applying for visa, giving proficiency tests, etc. While you take care of all this, the most important decision you are expected to take is the country and the university you wish to study in. It is this decision that decides your further course of action. For this purpose making the right choice is of utmost important.

The deciding process involves a lot of research. Usually when students start looking out for universities abroad to study from, they take to the internet first. This is followed by asking and interacting with peers that include parents, teachers, friends, bosses at work, counselors, etc. However, students hardly think of talking to the alumni leave alone actually doing it. Networking and interacting with the alumni is the best way to find out in detail about a specific country and university.

Given below are the reasons why networking and interacting with the alumni is crucial:

First Hand Experience of Studying Abroad:

When you approach the alumni of the universities you are deciding to apply for, they give you their first-hand information of how their lives were in a foreign land. Interacting with them will help you understand how moving away from their family and studying abroad helped them grow personally and professionally.

A Detailed Account of the University:

Once you decide on a university, connecting yourself with the alumni will provide you with a deeper insight about the university, its faculty, study methods, syllabus (if your choice of program matches with that of the alumni), extra-curricular activities, etc. This helps you in preparing yourself to study in the university as you get a holistic understanding of the student life in the university and also how the specific university functions through an alumnus himself/herself.

Job Opportunities Available:

As the alumni spend more than a year studying abroad, they gain not just information about the job opportunities available but also the experience of working on a foreign land. Due to this experience gained, they are in a position to narrate to you clearly and in detail about how you can search and apply for jobs, which jobs can you apply for and where, how will it help, how much will you earn, and most importantly what it is like to work and earn in an unknown destination. Thinking one step further, if you happen to get into the same country and university, previously created connection with the alumni might also help you in finding and securing a job.

Basic Understanding of Conducting Yourself in a Foreign Environment:

Interacting with the alumni will also help you gain the basic knowledge and trivia about the destination you plan to study in like the local culture, language, common food, stores to buy regular requirements from, sources to collect notes and buy books from, etc. Additionally, they also help you understand the rules and regulation of the country/city and the basic ethics and values that you might be required to follow.

Learn from Their Mistakes:

Though there are many other ways to carry out your research and find out about the universities and the country you decide to study in, you must always consider connecting and talking with the alumni to get a closer all round perspective of the student life abroad.

We at Edwise also enable our students to meet our alumni and give them a chance to interact with them during the pre-departure event. Here the alumni come forward to help the next batch of students flying abroad and throw light on various topics discussed above.

January 2019

What is Networking?

Networking is the act of interacting and getting to know people. It is about building relationships with people for mutual benefit.

• Helps You to Gel and Be Comfortable in a Foreign Land: The more friends you try to make the less alone you feel. Interact and get to know people. Doing this will help you open up and share things with the friends you make. Talking with new students will help you settle in the new environment easily and quickly.


• Increases Job Prospects: When you start interacting with people, you start building contacts i .e you start networking. This connects you with people who can help you in getting a job. Networking and interacting will not only increase your chances of securing a job but also help you understand which career field will be more helpful for you or rather help you in making understand how to go about pursuing career in order to successfully build the right path for yourself.


• Enables Exchange of Ideas: When you start interacting and building contacts, exchange of ideas take place. This exposes one to a number of ideas, enabling him/her to understand people’s thought processes. Exchanging ideas also helps develop and broaden one’s mindset which allows an individual to think holistically.

How to network?

Initially, networking might seem like a difficult task but allow yourself to get into a habit. Once you get a knack of it, it will become a fun activity. There are various ways to network with people. Given below are the most common and effective ways:

• Attending Events: Colleges are known to organize events for students. Attending such events like annual college festival, trips, workshops, seminars, etc. opens up for you the doors to meet new people not only from within the college but also from outside of college. In events you not only get a chance to meet influential people but also make new friends who further can help you connect with their contacts.


• Join Committees, Communities, Clubs, and Societies: Every single college and its various departments have committees/clubs/societies which carry out many interesting activities and also organize events. One should join and become a member of such bodies and help in organizing its activities and events. It is through such societies and clubs that students, while organizing, meet different people from different arenas.


• Participate In Events: Apart from helping and attending events, one must also participate in them. This gives students a chance to showcase their talents on a large scale attracting attention of many. It can so happen that people can approach you and try to build a relationship. Extend your hand readily and accept the invitation. You never know when a person can prove to be helpful.


• Attend Local Fests of The City/Locality: The city you study in might have a local fest in which all the city’s residents participate. Attending these events will help you get a glimpse of the local culture making it easier for you to build relationships with those belonging to that city itself. You might also end up talking to a few locals and also make friends with some.


• Visit Local Students’ Families: Making at least one friend belonging to city helps largely. Make attempts to visit his/her home and get acquainted with the family members. Once this happens, staying in a foreign country becomes much easier as you start feeling at home. You also start adapting their way of living and understand the culture and norms in a much better way.
