An event report (169KB) is available.

Please note that due to political unrest in the state of Andhra Pradesh, the exhibition in Hyderabad was cancelled.

Key details

The participation fee includes:

• venue hire
• four square metres stand, fascia board, table, two chairs, three focus lights, one electrical socket
• PR campaign, advertising on the web, advertising in print, visits to educational institutions for promotional activity
• marketing briefing, reception in Hyderabad [cancelled], stand assistants on request
• British Council India will negotiate discounted rates in local hotels where ever possible; please note that hotel rates are particularly high in India in most cities due to heavy demand; it is recommended that you book in time and ensure that you receive confirmation of the booking
• a travel agent will be recommended for domestic travel.

Stand sharing will be made available at a premium of twenty per cent on the stand costs.

Please note that the participation fee does not include international or domestic travel, accommodation, subsistence or freight, except where stated.

The participation fees stated above incorporate a 'credit crunch' contingency and are the maximum that participants will be charged. If this additional contingency is not called upon, participants will be invoiced for less than the maximum fee.

At the India Advisory Panel, a decision was taken to limit the total number of representatives on an exhibition stand to four, in a combination of any or all of the following:

• institution staff
• volunteers
• agents representing the institution
• alumni.

Volunteers will be optional and this information and a form requesting names of the stand representatives will be included on the booking forms for the event.

It is strongly advised that institutions send representatives from the UK to staff their stands rather than using local agents only, since students expect to meet UK representatives and not agents, whom they can meet anytime.
