What makes Kunal Parekh High School Tours so unique?
Through strong relationships with a network of 110 High Schools across 18 cities in India, our undergraduate student recruitment tours enable US institutions to engage with 12th grade high school students, their parents and counselors for the purpose of undergraduate student recruitment. What’s more, the schools we select on our tours have been personally screened to ensure each school has a 90%+ enrollment record of their senior class 12th grade students enrolling in US institutions for their Bachelor’s Degree Program. As a result, each high school on our recruitment tour has been carefully selected and pre-qualified based on student quality and the number of students who study in the US each year for their Bachelor’s Degree.
We limit participation to 8-10 US Institutions on our tours in order to ensure each institution on the tour gets maximum face time, exposure and engagement with students, parents and high school counselors.
Our Management Team will be traveling with your institution throughout the entire tour to personally guide you in understanding the dynamics and strategies at play when recruiting undergraduate students from a region as diverse as India that would help cement a strong foundation for your institution’s long-term recruitment goals. Our Management Team will also be personally available at all times before, during and after the tour to ensure your institution’s requirements are taken care of in the highest standards.
Owing to the relationships we share with high schools in India, our tours ensure a strong turnout of 11th and 12th grade students, parents and high school counselors for our recruitment events, thereby enabling you to develop meaningful long-term relationships with key stakeholders in the application and enrollment process.
Right from your arrival in India to your departure from India – our organization has all the in-country logistics covered for your institution. From airport pickups/drop-offs to Hotel Accommodations and Domestic Flight Tickets to Ground Transportation and ensuring your marketing materials are ready and waiting for you on the day of the school visits – we enable US Institutions to truly focus on only what matters most to them during the tour i.e. engaging with good fit students, parents and high school counselors for the purpose of undergraduate student recruitment.
A detailed Tour Orientation Meeting prior to the start of each tour takes place offering US institutions immense insights into the cultural, educational, political, economic and social dynamics at play in India and offering key understanding of best practices and strategies for recruiting undergraduate students in India.
Our Tour Wrap up report includes important information for US institutions to maintain effective follow-ups with high school counselors, students and parents they have met during the course of the tour along with vital data such as contact details of high school counselors responsible for the application and enrollment process at each school to ensure US institutions reap positive benefits from participation in our undergraduate student recruitment tours.
At Kunal Parekh High School Tours, we offer our well acclaimed undergraduate student recruitment tours through high school visits in India. With a network of 110 High Schools across 18 cities in India and top-notch in country logistics efficiency, our tours are designed to ensure US institutions have a productive, memorable and safe trip to India that enables them to truly focus on only what matters most during their visit i.e. engaging with good fit students, parents and high school counselors for the purpose of undergraduate student recruitment.
After studying his Bachelor’s Degree from Temple University in the United States, Kunal Parekh returned to India to share his experience of studying an Undergraduate Education in the US. Being passionate about what the US had to offer from an educational point of view, our team over the past 5 years has professionally guided many US institutions with their Indian undergraduate student recruitment initiatives.
The rapid economic growth in India along with rising disposable incomes has led to the advent of international schooling education at the high school level with the rise of International Baccalaureate (IB) and Cambridge Education A-Level high schools in many cities and towns across India. Due to the international focus of these schools, senior 12th grade class students in these high schools choose the US as their primary destination for a Bachelor’s Degree education as the US offers a truly international education due to the flexible and innovative nature of curriculum, small-class sizes, personal attention from faculty, vast availability of majors and opportunities to get a well-rounded education that focuses on extra-curricular activities and professional development opportunities.
However, what many students, parents and counselors from these high schools increasingly aspire for but critically lack, is the direct face-to-face engagement with US Institutions when making decisions about applying and enrolling in the US.
Thus in order to bridge this gap, we at Kunal Parekh High School Tours aim to enable students, parents and high school counselors through our undergraduate student recruitment tours to personally engage with US institutions so as to ensure students enroll in US institutions that are the “right fit” and at the same time ensure US institutions meet their internationalization goals through enrollment of quality Indian students for their Bachelor’s Degree programs.
Lastly, in addition to enabling US institutions establish direct contact with this right demographic within India, our undergraduate student recruitment tours also ensure participating institutions create a strong network of high school counselors that would help cement a strong foundation for their institution’s long-term undergraduate student recruitment goals.
