One Globe: Uniting Knowledge Communities – India’s leading annual conference hosted by Salwan Media Ventures – is all set to host the fourth edition of BrainGain Magazine’s Breakfast Roundtable on “Knowledge Exchange: Foreign Universities for Indian Students”. The session will be held on February 6, 2016 at the Imperial Hotel, New Delhi.

Talking about the Breakfast Roundtable, Harjiv Singh, convener, One Globe 2016 conference, and founder and CEO, Salwan Media, said, “The Breakfast Roundtable is an exchange of knowledge and ideas between distinguished academicians, which furthers the purpose of the annual One Globe Conference. It provides a platform for exchange of ideas and experiences between educationists, counsellors and principals of leading schools and colleges in India and abroad.”
Leading academicians attending the session this year are Lieutenant General Surendra Kulkarni, principal, The Mayo College; Dr. D.R. Saini, principal, DPS R.K.

The Breakfast Roundtable apart, One Globe will host a complimentary “Study abroad information” session for students, parents and teachers and provide them a unique platform to interact with the representatives of leading foreign institutions. This will cover a multitude of topics such as getting into the Ivy Leagues, planning for higher education in the US, standardised tests – best practices and benefits in college admissions, MOOCs, financing studies abroad, preparing for admission tests, and so on.
“The session will not only help students navigate their way through the lengthy processes of applications and university, but also in deciding the varsity and course structures that are best suited for them,” Singh added.
Distinguished academicians from leading institutions have been actively involved with the Breakfast Roundtable in the past and have provided insights on topics such as K-12, role of schools to address the various challenges faced by students, as well as the importance of grades and test scores for applications to foreign universities.
