INTERACTION WITH EXCHANGE PROGRAMME STUDENTS FROM UNITED STATES


In a globalized world, cultural and education exchanges plays an important role, especially in the academic hemisphere. The students of Masters of International Studies had an interaction with the students of exchange programme from the United States. These students were from vibrant educational backgrounds, from different parts of the United States, and were pursuing graduation from recognised universities within US. The programme was coordinated by the Department of International Studies and History and was truly an informative session. At the initial stage of the programme a 15 minutes presentation was being conducted by the students from the US, on explaining how the Education system in the United States functions, providing us with a basic understanding to further compare it with the Indian education system of India, which we are familiar with. 
The personnel conversation that was carried out between the students provided with an overall understanding and helped the students to further concentrate on areas of concerns. 

"The interaction was an eye opener considering the vast differences among our education system moreover, their political views on trump and student loans along with anti-gun laws made the conversation interesting. They talked on how one must choose colleges in the US based on state funding. This was very different from how we choose colleges here in India.
The experience thus was very fascinating!"
-     VAISHNAVI 

"It was an eye-opening experience. I could understand the perplexities that students faced with their education system back in the US. It was riveting and I could gather fresh inputs about the system as a whole."

Internship Experience- Indian Council of World Affairs-Avishka Ashok

My experience at the Indian Council of World Affairs has taught me the tedious process of research and the internal working of a think tank. Being a part of the core meetings and closed door conferences was a fascinating experience. I attended a meeting on the Afghan Peace Process which was attended by the Chief of Afghan High Peace Council and other delegates from Afghanistan. There was a conference on Indian - Russian relations which was attended by many researchers and ambassadors. I had the opportunity to work under research fellows at ICWA who guided me through my research paper. It was an enlightening experience as I realized the efforts that one needs to put to write a good paper. The work culture is serious and relaxed at the same time. The fellows are busy with more than 4-5 projects at the same time. They don’t waste time and are always seen working on their projects. But there are times when the fellows would come to us and talk for a while. These conversations were info...
