 Hyderabadi20fever is spreading. This is no new strain of fever, but a project run by students and professionals from various engineering fields. The objective: To help students find the best universities and provide visa guidance.

 

Initiated by a group of engineers from Chaitanya Bharathi institute of technology (CBIT )in 2002,i20fever has been instrumental in helping US university aspirants save at least Rs25,000 to 30,000,which otherwise would be spend on campus consulting firms.

 

The group has also created a website -www.i20fever.com --for students interested in sending queries on higher education in the US. A group initiative to provide free-of-cost service to aspirants, the website has recently been redone and launched. Aravind Manduva, a software professional who works for the project says," we have built a network of students from various US universities. Through them we provide students from AP tips on GRE and other means of aid."
