Kolhapur: D T Shirke, the Vice-Chancellor of the Shivaji University Kolhapur, launched The Times Education Expo, a collaborative event by The Times of India and Maharashtra Times, on Saturday.
Students and parents gathered at V T Patil Hall during the opening day of the three-day exhibition to explore various educational prospects presented by institutions from Kolhapur and other parts of Maharashtra. The participating institutions showcased diverse academic programmes, ranging from defence technology degrees to fine arts courses.
"The biggest worry every parent has is getting their son or daughter admitted to good colleges and universities.
Nowadays, parents prefer not just employability but also courses that will teach their sons and daughters to be future entrepreneurs. Parents, teachers, students, and educators should also visit the exhibition to get a glance at the prestigious colleges' offerings," said Shirke.
The Vice-Chancellor also interacted with staff members while visiting each exhibition stall. The programme for June 1 includes specialised seminars for parents and teachers conducted by experts. Aniruddha Das will present opportunities in hospitality and hotel management, followed by Mahesh Shinde's session about engineering admissions procedures. At noon, Vivek Velankar will talk to students and parents about career possibilities after SSC and HSC examinations.
