Speaking at the event, Country Manager Chander said, “The main objective of this special briefing session is to engage in a direct dialogue with local stakeholders.”

The main session, which ran from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, provided an in-depth review of the UK’s changing market conditions and the latest visa regulations. Clarifying the new academic initiatives for Nepali students, Head of Recruitment Sonam Agrawal stated, “We have introduced new courses and an excellent support system targeting South Asian students.”

Similarly, Pankaj Choudhary, Senior BDM of GSP Nepal, also shed light on the recent educational shifts and policies. He noted, “In this main session, detailed information has been provided about the UK’s changing market conditions and the latest visa regulations.” The session is said to have played a significant role in helping Nepali students and educational consultants understand the current academic landscape in the UK.

Celebrating Collaboration and Performance

A major highlight of the gathering was the explicit recognition of the local agency network. Following the main informational briefing, the LSBU South Asia team took the opportunity to extend a warm and heartfelt thank you to all the participating recruitment partners.

“Our recruitment partners in Nepal are the vital bridge ensuring ambitious local students find their perfect academic path in London,” noted the university representatives during their joint address. “This session was designed not only to update our partners but to deeply thank them for their continuous, exceptional performance and high-quality student recruitment standards.”

The collaborative seminar seamlessly transitioned into a Hi-Tea & Networking Session.
