NEW DELHI: British Council, the UK’s international organisation for educational opportunities and cultural relations, is organising this year’s ‘Study UK Virtual Fair’ on August 21. The online event will be hosted from 1:30pm to 5:30pm. Students can visit the official website britishcouncil.in to pre-register for the event.

More than 11,000 students registered in the two fairs, according to a statement from British Council.

“The Study UK Virtual Fair will allow participants to get all answers about the current process for obtaining a student visa and graduate route from UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) officers Experts will also address queries on the newly launched graduate route and post-study work opportunities in the UK,” the statement from British Council added.
