    What's the story

    British Council, India Director, Alan Gemmell Obe, today said the Council would give a scholarship to 500 students from India for an academic exchange program in 44 United Kingdom universities.

    Obe said so far 105 women from India, including six from North East, have already availed scholarship from the Council to study at a university in the UK.

    Here are more details.

    Studying abroad

    Indian students more interested to study in UK universities: Obe

    "We are hopeful that more students from Arunachal and other states of the Northeast will avail the scholarships being provided by the Council," the Director said.

    Obe said over the last few years there was a significant increase in visa applications by Indian students.

    "This has clearly indicated that the students from India are more interested to study in UK universities," he added.

    The London-based organization, which is getting into an agreement through MoU with North Eastern Council (NEC) next month, is planning to organize a conclave of North East Education Ministers in Delhi soon in partnership with NEC.
