CHENNAI: The Association of Accredited Advisors on Overseas Education organised an education fair which got under way at Hotel Chola Sheraton on Friday.

About 20 foreign universities and members of the association took part in the fair, where university representatives interacted with prospective students. Hundreds of students aspiring to study abroad lined up at the stalls to make enquiries about courses, fees and the admission process. A stall put up by the British Council to distribute pamphlets and offer advice on IELTS examination drew huge crowds.

Association president C.B. Paul Chellakumar said that the fair provided the students an opportunity to decide what exactly they wanted to study. Subjects such as fashion designing, supply chain management and hospitality were gaining in popularity whereas management course and biotechnology were in lesser demand. Middlesex University from the U.K., National University from the U.S., Edwise International, Central European University of Hungary and AEC Education Group Pte Ltd. of Singapore were among the institutions that participated.
