STUDY TOURS

  • Objective: The study tour provides students with an exposure towards academic activities and business trends in the country they visit. The students get to witness the culture and living style of the people in that country. The Indian educational institute gets an opportunity to connect with their counterparts in different countries through these tours. These tours can be the stepping stone for the universities.

  • Academic Activities: The tour will have academic focus wherein the students will visit a foreign university and will attend a lecture / seminar. The lectures will be conducted by the head of department or a fulltime professor / subject expert of the University. The lectures comprise of information on the University and information on a pre-decided topic for the students. The students get the feel of studying in the international environment wherein the international faculty provides them information on a particular topic. The interactive sessions helps them to understand the teaching methodology in the country and gives them the feel of difference in dialect used by the faculty. The sessions are followed by a campus tour. This helps students to learn more about infrastructure and the technology used in the campus. The students are able to witness the discipline followed within the campus during their tour. Entry into an on-going classroom session gives them a feel of the teaching pattern. Visits to various facilities such as library, labs, indoor & outdoor sports activities, cafeteria, etc gives the students an overall understanding about the ways international students spend their day at campus. The hostel facility helps students to understand the accommodation styles adopted by the students in these countries.


  • Industrial Visits: During the tour, the students get an opportunity to visit various companies / government organizations / start-ups, etc to get a feel of business trends followed by that country. The industrial visits, give students the insight of how the companies in particular sector operate. Interactions with the authorities of these companies help students to get knowledge about the modus operandi of the companies. The authorities discuss about the challenges faced by their organizations during the operations. Students get first hand information about the latest technology/ business policies used in the organizations. These visits also help students to compare the way business operates in those countries and India. The students get an insight about the various aspects of business such as staffing, marketing, finance, etc. Normally in a study tour we try to arrange 2-3 industrial visits, depending upon the duration of tour. The visits of the company are confirmed before the students travel to that country.

  • Accommodation: The accommodations during the student tour are arranged at Youth Hostels or in 2/3 – Star hotels depending upon the availability and the cost. The locations of these accommodations are selected based on the safety of the students and the travel time. The rooms normally are offered on twin or triple sharing basis.
