Why India?
In 2007, the US saw a slight 9.6% increase in
the number of Indian students studying in the
US (83,833). Although India remains the largest
sender of students to the US, the growth in the
number of universities in India, as well as aggressive
competition from the U.K., Canada, South Africa
and New Zealand are all factors that make the
continued presence of US universities in India
crucial.
While the region is dominated by students seeking
graduate degrees, the undergraduate market continues
to grow. Because Linden focuses on both undergraduate
and graduate students, we are well positioned
to continue to provide successful recruitment
opportunities in South Asia. We have added a new
feature that allows those universities and colleges
who are recruiting only undergraduate students
an option to participate in school visits only
and add individual fairs where wanted.
Through our extensive relationships with key schools,
educational advisers, U.S. Embassy staff and the
Foreign Commercial Service, we know how to target
marketing efforts to attract an excellent number
of highly qualified candidates to our University
Fairs. The Linden India Tour also includes two
unique features: separate hours at the University
Fairs for undergraduates and one-on-one designated
interview times the day after the fairs. This
fall, the tour visits nine key cities.
