Our industry's second largest market with an insatiable appetite for study abroad

As the world’s second largest international student recruitment market and one whose growth knows no bounds, India is a staple in every institution’s enrolment plan. A long-time sender of postgraduate students, India’s undergraduate sector has been growing year on year, opening up new opportunities for education providers around the world.

Known for their optimistic outlook on life and a healthy appetite for change, Indian students are also dedicated, pragmatic and career-minded. If you think this country is maxed out on its potential, think again. Set on a steady course for growth and with a rich diversity across a vast terrain, the India recruitment market will continue to be a reliable source of students for decades to come.

Workshops to help you forge relationships with influential high school counsellors

Given the fact that students are going abroad at younger and younger ages, having firm links at the secondary school level in your target recruitment countries is crucial. Our Indian International Schools Forum & Workshop is designed to help you achieve exactly that.

This event enables you to establish and strengthen relationships with high school principals and counsellors who regularly advise students and parents on which countries and institutions abroad are the best match for them. These attendees represent the top bilingual, intercultural and private schools from India’s top cities, creating a perfect pathway into higher education overseas.

In 2024, we’re excited to launch the Indian International Schools Forum & Workshop, bringing schools from across this great continent under one roof. Each participating counsellor is fully hosted by BMI/THE and has been selected and specifically invited to the event based on their school’s record of students travelling abroad for higher education. Attending counsellors also receive extra academic content and training which forms part of Times Higher Education Counsellor Accreditation Programme (THE CAP). Over two full days of luxury networking events and structured meetings, you’ll have the chance to form long lasting relationships with this influential audience.
