JAMMU, Oct 12: After a year of uncertainty and travel disruptions, international students have started to regain control over their education future with new app and service launched by IDP Education.
The IDP Live fast-track service helps students in India to receive in-principle offers for their dream course right from their smartphone or in an IDP office, alongside one of IDP’s expert counsellors.
Students are invited to share their study goals and current qualifications. Upon completing their academic profile, they are matched to courses they are eligible to apply for. If they want to proceed, students can receive an in-principle offer from their chosen institution within 30 minutes of submission.
This transformative real-time response means the student can choose to only apply to courses where they know they meet the entry criteria, greatly reducing the number of applications they submit, whilst institutions receive higher-quality applications, more quickly.
Piyush Kumar, Regional Director (South Asia), IDP Education said, “With IDP Live, the students can have confidence that all institutions listed are high quality and that they have the support of IDP’s expert team with them at every step of their research journey”, he added that one of the biggest improvements of IDP Live is the introduction of fast-tracked applications with select universities.
Andrew Barkla, IDP Education Chief Executive Officer, said, “IDP Live will bring our industry into a future in which technology enhances the interactions between our counsellors, students and institutions, driving the best outcomes for all. The introduction of the fast-track service, which combines cutting-edge technology and trusted human interactions, has immediately begun to help students around the world to find best-fit courses. Our evolving ecosystem, a connected community of students, institutions and counsellors is working to help drive the recovery of international education”.
