European Higher Education Virtual Fair (EHEVF) 2021

EHEVF stands for European Higher Education Virtual Fair which is a virtual education fair conducted for students who wish to pursue their higher education from European Universities. Due to the young demography of India, millions of students are constantly on the lookout for higher education opportunities in different segments around the globe. EHEVF is a platform to connect interested students from across India who intend to take admission to reputed European Universities. In fact, in 2020, more than 70000 Indian students were studying in Europe, which shows how to open Europe is to Indian students.

Why Europe?

Europe is traditionally known for its quality higher education programmes and is home to one of the oldest and best universities in the world. The educational institutions focus more on the development of skills in this ever-transforming world to remain economically competitive at the global level. In addition, with most European universities offering courses in the English medium, going to the EU to study is a lucrative deal. By the time the students graduate from a reputed university in the European Union, they have already imbibed advanced transversal skills - digital & numeracy skills, critical thinking & problem-solving capabilities etc allowing them to flourish in a wide variety of work settings and situations. The relevance of this approach is also reflected in the latest World University Rankings where the top 1000 universities list comprises 257 universities from the European Union. 

Why EHEVF?

Higher education is a driver for socio-economic development and connectivity: good higher education leads to more scientists and greater scientific excellence, which we need to address the societal challenges we are facing. To achieve this, Europe’s higher education programmes are open to the world because we strongly believe that mobility of students will lead to better connectivity between Europe and India and it will also allow for a mutual understanding and foster the cultural and people to people dimension of the EU-India partnership.
