“We are focusing more on higher education, which is after +2, but we also cater to SLC passed students,” informed Suman Maharjan, Event Manager at Direction Nepal.

“There are many good schools and colleges in Nepal and many subjects are widely available here too and we want to focus on that. However, for students who want to study abroad, we would advise them to choose a consultancy very carefully,” said KC.

The entrance ticket price, keeping in mind the students, is set at Rs 20 each.

The Higher Education & Career Fair is the oldest education event that started 12 years ago in 2002. The expo has been providing platforms for young students to gather information on colleges and their higher education.

The fair is also to take place in Narayanghat at Chitwan Higher Secondary School from June 28 to 30, 2012.
