Student-Centric Counselling Gaining Ground Among Study Abroad Aspirants
Hyderabad, July 19 — As international education becomes more competitive and outcome driven, students from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are becoming increasingly selective about their overseas education choices. What was once influenced by advertisements and promotional events is now guided by informed decisions and measurable success. At the center of this transition is i20Fever – Yathapu Consulting, a Hyderabad based firm quietly reshaping the landscape of overseas education counseling through ethics, accuracy, and a deeply student focused approach. Founded in 2006, i20Fever – Yathapu Consulting has guided over 33,000+ students to globally ranked universities across the USA, Australia, Canada, UK, Ireland, Germany, and France. Operating eight branches across Hyderabad, Warangal, Vijayawada, and Visakhapatnam, and powered by a team of more than 150 professionals, the consultancy's influence spans both metropolitan and tier-two cities. Their approach combines regional insight with global exposure, an advantage that today's students are increasingly seeking. At the helm is Mr. Naveen Yathapu, a Missouri University of Science and Technology (Rolla, USA) alumnus, who also serves as the Treasurer on the Board of Directors at AIRC (American International Recruitment Council). Under his leadership, the firm has consistently upheld international best practices while catering to the unique needs of Indian students, a balance that resonates strongly with aspirants looking for transparent and reliable guidance. Education Fair to Bring Global Opportunities Under One Roof On July 26, i20Fever is organizing its flagship USA & Australia Education Fair at Taj Deccan, Banjara Hills, from 10 AM to 4 PM. This year's edition will host representatives from over 40+ reputed universities, offering students and working professionals a platform to receive on-the-spot profile evaluations, scholarship insights, and visa guidance. While the event is focused on the USA and Australia, it also includes dedicated help desks for UK, Canada, Ireland, Germany, and France, enabling students to explore multi-destination plans based on their profile and goals. The fair is expected to draw a strong turnout, continuing the firm's tradition of high impact engagements every academic year. Students Prioritize Outcomes, Not Just Admissions Today's students are more concerned with long term outcomes, career prospects, visa sustainability, and return on investment, than with flashy promotional campaigns. With increasingly complex visa regulations, competitive application cycles, and evolving English proficiency requirements, aspirants are placing their trust in counselors who provide accurate, timely, and personalized support. Students from engineering, management, public health, and emerging tech domains are now choosing firms that offer data backed counseling, curated university shortlists, and rapid application processing. At i20Fever, a 48 hour turnaround for applications, real time updates, and systematic follow up have become standard practice, earning them the trust of students aiming for globally competitive programs. Credibility Is the New Currency In a crowded counseling market, track record and institutional affiliations are proving more persuasive than advertising budgets. Families are increasingly relying on word-of-mouth references and verified success histories. For many, the combination of i20Fever's alumni base across top global universities and its leadership's international credentials offer a level of assurance that's hard to replicate. The demand is no longer just for an offer letter, it's for a guided journey that addresses financial planning, visa compliance, and post-study pathways. Consultants with the ability to connect local realities with international requirements are now shaping the future of global student mobility. Southern India's Growing Footprint in International Education As observed over the past three years, students from the southern states particularly Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are increasingly placing their trust in i20Fever – Yathapu Consulting when it comes to overseas education. The consultancy has consistently emerged as a top choice among aspirants, thanks to its proven track record of placing students in leading global universities. Whether it's securing a STEM admit in the U.S., enrolling in engineering programs in Australia, pursuing healthcare in Canada, a business degree in the UK, pharmacy in Ireland, or automobile engineering in Germany, students are no longer swayed by flashy campaigns. Instead, they are making informed decisions driven by results, transparency, and personalized guidance. In this evolving landscape, i20Fever continues to lead with a student-first approach, setting the benchmark for ethical and outcome-oriented counseling across the region.

Drop in US Treasury yields helps Indian rupee
MUMBAI, July 22 (Reuters) - The Indian rupee was marginally stronger on Tuesday and dollar-rupee forward premiums ticked up as concerns over the economic fallout of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war drove U.S. Treasury yields, the greenback and crude oil prices lower. The rupee ticked up to 86.2650 per U.S. dollar by 11:10 a.m. IST, slightly higher than its close at 86.2925 in the previous session. The dollar index was steady at 97.9 in Asia trading after falling 0.6% on Monday, tracking a decline in U.S. Treasury yields that saw the 10-year yield touch a near two-week low of about 4.35%. Short-term U.S. Treasury yields declined as well, which helped boost far-tenor dollar-rupee forward premiums. The 1-year dollar rupee implied yield rose to an over two-week high of 2.03%, while a fall in rupee liquidity in the banking system helped lift very near-tenor dollar-rupee swap rates. Indian assets largely sidestepped a media report that a trade deal between India and the U.S. is unlikely before August 1 with equities and the rupee clinging to slight gains while the yield on the benchmark 10-year bond was little changed. Steep reciprocal levies on exports to the U.S. are slated to go into effect next month with India likely to face a 26% charge in the absence of a deal. "The rupee's trajectory remains tilted toward further weakness, with both the 86.00 and 86.20 levels now breached. This opens the door for a move toward 86.50–86.80," said Amit Pabari, managing director at FX advisory firm CR Forex. In addition to uncertainty on global trade dynamics, muted foreign portfolio flows have also been a sore point for the rupee. Overseas investors have net sold about half a billion dollars of local stocks in July so far while year-to-date outflows stand at nearly $9.5 billion.
