Bhubaneswar: Fifty universities from across the world are taking part in the third edition of Study Abroad – Global University Fair at KIIT-DU.
The three-day event will provide students valuable opportunities to explore scholarships, internships and higher education prospects in leading global institutions.
“This is the age of globalisation. When movement takes place, it fosters knowledge exchange and academic partnerships,” KIIT and KISS Founder Dr Achyuta Samanta while inaugurating the Fair.
“Though KIIT is still young as a university, we have developed one of the best sports facilities in the country. Our students are talented, and there are now over 15,000 KIIT alumni spread across the globe,” added Samanta, highlighting KIIT’s world-class infrastructure, vibrant academic environment, and recent achievement of being ranked in the 501 cohort in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
KIIT Vice-Chancellor Prof. Saranjit Singh emphasised the growing global aspirations among KIIT students. “There is immense potential here. Nearly 25-30% of our graduates pursue higher education abroad. More and more students should attend such fairs to explore international opportunities,” he said.
Pro-Vice Chancellor Prof. Raju K D said this event aligns with the vision of Dr Samanta that “an institution should have no boundaries… With more than 130 MoUs signed with foreign universities, KIIT continues to expand its global footprint.”
