The British Council is participating in two key student recruitment events in India in the coming weeks. One of them is a high potential school fair that will focus on international student mobility. The other is one of India’s largest school counsellors events.
At the event, the British Council will represent the UK as a whole and will promote the wide variety of courses, scholarships and career opportunities a UK education offers. We are also keen that interested UK HEIs are able to showcase their student offer at these events and can promote their courses to students, school counsellors and influencer audiences, whilst maintaining market presence and visibility.

Opportunity 1:

City Montessori School (CMS), Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh is organising a University Fair, on Sunday 7 August 2022 from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm at the World Unity Convention Center, Kanpur Road Campus, Lucknow. At the event we are expecting more than 1,500 students of Classes 11 and 12 from thirteen different campuses of CMS.

Why CMS?
City Montessori School (CMS), is the world’s largest school, with over 58,000 students and 4,500 staff across 20 campuses in the city of Lucknow. The school has a strong academic reputation, producing large cohorts of high-scoring students in the school-leaving board exams: four CMS campuses are ranked in the Top 10 schools of India

CMS follows  the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE); Indian School Certificate (ISC); International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE); Advanced Level (A-Level). . This is a high-potential school for student mobility abroad and the school is well known for it’s international outlook and ambitions.

As a part of the University fair, CMS are inviting UK Universities to participate in the fair and interact with their students. The United Kingdom is one of the preferred destinations to pursue undergraduate studies for CMS students and in the past few years there has been a steep rise in the applications for UK universities at CMS.
