Students should begin the process for gaining admission into universities in USA, UK and other countries as early as the end of third year as it would provide ample time, regional manager of Visu Academy Ltd, K.S.R. Anjaneyulu said here on Friday.
“Most universities offer admissions on first-come-firm served basis and hence it is important that students begin their preparations early,” Mr. Anjaneyulu said while addressing students at a seminar on ‘International and National Career Planning and Higher Education,’ organised by the Visu Academy in association with T he Hindu at Bapatla Engineering College on Friday. Most universities in USA, UK and other countries continue to offer study and work permit programmes drawing hundreds of students from India.
Every student who completed his course would be offered by a post-study work permit ranging from 24 to 36 months in universities across USA and Canada, Mr. Anjaneyulu said. Seeking to dispel the notion that overseas education was an expensive proposition and was beyond the reach of common man, Mr. Anjaneyulu said that a student could plan overseas education with a start-up capital of Rs. 2 lakh to meet the requirements of various examinations like TOEFL, IELTS and GRE, cost of ticket and other expenses. Earlier, the seminar was inaugurated by chairman of Bapatla Educational Society Muppalaneni Seshagiri Rao. Mr. Rao urged the students to read The Hindu to improve their language skills and also to get information of current events. Senior manager at Cisco Systems M. Syed Azgar explained about career planning programmes in Information Technology and Cyber Security and M.V. Narayana Murthy, senior manager at Visu Academy, talked about ‘Advanced Embedded Systems.’
