The event will begin with a brief from the CEO. He will give a general overview of the university, along with the event.
While talking to the media, Dattaguta said, “I went to the US as an international student at an early age of 17 years from Mumbai on a scholarship to study Computer Science. All along my career, I’ve always followed my passion for being in an institution that is global in nature, and is accessible to students coming from all walks of life and from all over the world.”
Home to over 15,000 international students, Northeastern offers more than 200 academic programs and is ranked within the top 50 universities in the US according to US News & World Report 2021.

Students transform ideas into impact by participating in Northeastern’s #1 ranked co-op and internship program and go on to become global citizens with successful careers.
Faculty and staff from Northeastern’s nine academic colleges, including Khoury College of Computer Science and the College of Engineering, will present key topics in emerging fields, advise on admission criteria and application processes, and discuss opportunities available through Northeastern’s world-renowned experiential learning program. Prospective students will also have the opportunity to meet representatives from Northeastern’s growing global campus network, which includes 11 campuses in the US, Canada, and the UK. Student immigration staff will be at hand to demystify the student visa and study permit processes and to answer questions on immigration compliance and work authorization in the US and Canada. Finally, the expos will conclude with an alumni panel, where Northeastern graduates will share their student experiences and discuss where they are now.
