Students in New Delhi do not have long to wait. The Study in Sweden 2026 fair arrives in the city tomorrow, October 28, and reaches Hyderabad two days later, on October 30. Representatives from 13 Swedish universities will be at both events, and the focus is on master’s programmes in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
The New Delhi fair runs from 4 pm to 7 pm IST at the Jaypee Vasant Continental Hotel in Vasant Vihar. The Hyderabad fair runs from 5 pm to 8 pm IST on October 30 at the Lemon Tree Hotel in HITEC City, Madhapur. The Embassy of Sweden is organising the fairs, and the official Study in Sweden events page carries the registration links for both cities.
Lund University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Linköping University are among the universities named for the fairs. Students will be able to talk directly with university representatives about postgraduate study options, rather than relying on brochures or secondhand accounts. For many applicants, that conversation is the point of going: a programme that looks right on paper can feel very different once entry requirements, course structure and living costs are discussed in person.
What the fairs will cover
Programme selection is one of the main topics, along with application requirements and the residence permit process. Students can also ask about the academic and professional prospects that follow a Swedish degree, and about how study connects with industry and research there.
Sweden’s approach to that connection is often described through its Triple Helix model, which brings together academia, industry and government. In practice, that means students may work on interdisciplinary projects and on challenges drawn from industry, rather than studying a subject in isolation. Applicants who want a research-led master’s with industry exposure should ask the representatives present how that works in their specific programme, since the details vary by university and subject.
Petra Menander, Ambassador of Sweden to India, said: “Sweden’s education system develops critical thinking, creativity, and innovation, empowering students to address the challenges of tomorrow. The fairs offer Indian students an opportunity to engage with leading Swedish universities and explore diverse academic programmes.”
The fairs also sit inside a wider India-Sweden relationship. Student and researcher mobility is one of the priorities in the two countries’ strategic partnership.
How to prepare for the fair
A short list of questions helps more than a long one. Students should go in knowing which subjects they want, what grades and documents they already have, and what they still need to check. The guide to choosing a university in India sets out the same kind of comparison, and its questions work just as well for a university abroad.
Documents matter too. Application forms and permit paperwork both depend on certificates and identity documents being ready and consistent. Checking the admission documents checklist before the fair can save a return visit later, even though the exact documents for Sweden will be confirmed by the university and the fair organisers.
Registration for both fairs is through the official Study in Sweden events page, which lists the New Delhi and Hyderabad venues and timings. Students planning to attend the New Delhi fair should register before tomorrow afternoon, since the event runs from 4 pm to 7 pm.
