The Study in India Education Fair 2026, held under the theme “India: New Horizons for Education and Learning,” took place at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Yangon on October 23, with 26 Indian universities participating.

At the event, Indian Ambassador to Myanmar H.E. Shri Abhay Thakur delivered welcome remarks, while Union Minister for Education Dr. Chaw Chaw Sein gave a speech. U Nay Oke, Chairman of the Myanmar Private Schools Association, also delivered remarks.

"Overall, India offers quality education at a reasonable cost, taught in English, visas for admissions to accredited institutions, geographical proximity and ease of travel, as well as access to a shared culture, tradition and cuisine for Myanmar students. With such opportunities, nearly 500 students have secured admission to Indian universities this year alone, and we look forward to increasing the number of students admitted in the coming years to meet the needs of Myanmar," said H.E. Shri Abhay Thakur, Ambassador of India to Myanmar.

He further said, “The “Study in India” program is being implemented through a dedicated online portal where students can research courses and institutions, find out about admission requirements, compare educational opportunities and get relevant information and support on a single platform. Over 600 students from Myanmar have registered under the “Study in India” program for the academic year 2026-27. Out of these, 268 students have received approved admissions and visas and 255 have already arrived in India. The remaining over 200 students have joined through other channels such as ICCR scholarships or direct admissions. Therefore, the “Study in India” portal is an important starting point for identifying suitable institutions and educational programs and completing the admission process.”

The two-day Study in India Education Fair 2026, featuring 26 Indian universities, will be held from October 23 to 24 under the theme India: New Horizons for Education and Learning.
