Our fourth fair in Pune after Chennai, Bengaluru and Kochi witnessed an overwhelming turnout, and we look forward to welcoming students and parents to our final fair in Mumbai. This continued enthusiasm from Pune reflects the growing recognition of Ireland as a hub for world-class education with industry-linked work opportunities. We are excited to see talented Indian students joining our higher education institutions, building on the strong momentum of last year when over 10,000 Indian students chose Ireland.”In addition to personalised interactions with higher education institutions, the Irish Visa Office conducted a dedicated seminar on the student visa application process, ensuring students and parents as well as education agents had clarity on documentation, timelines, and financial planning.
