The EducationUSA Fairs will begin on Friday, August 16, in Hyderabad, and conclude on Sunday, August 25, in New Delhi, covering eight cities across India for 10 days.
These fairs aim to assist students interested in pursuing undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs in the United States by providing an opportunity to interact with representatives from more than 80 accredited US universities and colleges.
According to the official release, attendance is free, but students must register in advance if they wish to explore studying in the US and meet university representatives.
US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, emphasized the importance of these fairs, stating, “The EducationUSA fairs are an excellent opportunity to discover the remarkable educational opportunities that the United States offers. Whether you are interested in science, technology, engineering, arts, or business, there is a program to help you achieve your goals.”

You’ll receive firsthand information on admissions, scholarships, campus life, and much more about studying on a US campus. Our goal is to ensure that students and their families have all the information and support needed to realize their dream of studying in the United States.”
