In a significant collaboration aimed at empowering Indian students with global education opportunities, ETS India and the University of Cambridge recently hosted an exclusive workshop at IIT Delhi. The session provided students with invaluable insights into the application process, the role of standardized testing, and how to effectively prepare for academic success at one of the world’s leading universities.
The workshop offered students a comprehensive guide to Cambridge’s application process, course offerings, scholarships, and the challenges faced when applying to top UK universities. The importance of standardized tests like the TOEFL® and GRE® was emphasized, showcasing their vital role in Cambridge’s selection of qualified candidates. The workshop also featured interactive sessions, allowing students to engage directly with the speakers and ask questions, enhancing their understanding of the application process.
Roshan Walkerley, Deputy Head of Student Recruitment (International) at the University of Cambridge, led the session, offering information and advice on preparing an application. “At Cambridge, we welcome a diverse and talented student body. Workshops like this seek to help students understand not just the application mechanics but more about the experience as a postgraduate student in the UK. It’s about more than meeting academic criteria; it’s about demonstrating academic potential,” said Mr. Walkerley. His session covered key pointers for academic profiles, encouraging students to think beyond grades to showcase their fit for the programmes they’re interested in and alignment in research interests.
Sachin Jain, Country Manager, ETS India, highlighted the significance of the collaboration, saying, “At ETS, we believe in the power of education to transform lives. Our partnership with the University of Cambridge exemplifies our commitment to helping students navigate their academic journeys and unlock opportunities that lead to global citizenship. Our mission is to empower students by providing them with the tools to showcase their full potential through assessments like the TOEFL and GRE. Cambridge offers unparalleled opportunities, from world-class programs to scholarships, and students need to prepare strategically to make the most of these. By utilizing assessments like the TOEFL and GRE, they can present a strong, well-rounded application to institutions like Cambridge that seek to attract the brightest talent.”
The workshop, facilitated by ETS India, underlined the importance of TOEFL and GRE tests in helping students position themselves as strong candidates for world-class institutions like Cambridge.
