There are other exhibitions which are country specific and exhibitions where foreign universities are represented along with other local education providers. This is unique as only foreign universities and institutes will be present and students can meet representatives from universities from multiple countries and continents on one stage".

"Students who aspire to study abroad should be given proper guidance at the right time. They should be able to get accurate and authentic information with regard to options available. Such guidance will help students with lower costs, increased chances of university acceptance, cultural adaptability and even increased chances of financial assistance.

Proper counselling in the areas of both education and careers help students pick the university that best meets their needs maximizing the chances of financial assistance and career opportunities.

Comprehensive guidance will not mislead students at the crucial juncture in their lives, which can break or make their future; this is our mantra," Abeysekera said.

Students will be able to experience a diverse range of study opportunities and interact with international representatives and experience firsthand information about the courses of study, free of charge visa guidance, scholarship options, application fee waive off options, on the spot offer letters providing admission to the respective university and much more offers from the international universities.
