The Jammu leg of a sixteen-city admissions tour: university admissions staff in one hall for a morning, with course comparison, one-to-one career counselling and scholarship guidance. Confirmed exhibitors include UPES, Graphic Era, Manav Rachna, Shoolini, Bennett, GLA and Parul. Aimed at Class 12 students, UG aspirants and parents. Entry is free but you must register on the organiser's site first — and go with a shortlist of questions about fees, scholarships and placement, because this is a counselling-and-brochures event, not a spot-admission one.
