Inside the Info Session: How Simpled is Transforming LL.M. Student Recruitment

Led by Yasir Ansari, CEO and Founder of Simpled our latest Info Session delivered a concise, high-impact overview of our specialized recruitment solution for international LL.M. programs. In just 15 minutes, Yasir unpacked the strategy, structure, and value that institutions can expect from joining this unique initiative.

The session began with a walkthrough of the upcoming LL.M. tour, including the cities, dates, and daily flow. Yasir emphasized how every detail is mapped with purpose, from timing to travel, to ensure recruiters get the most out of each stop.

Here’s Where We’re Headed: Tour Dates & Cities

During the session, Yasir officially introduced the tour itinerary and it’s an exciting, purposeful journey across India’s most vibrant academic hubs. Set to take place from September 7 to 15, 2025, this 8-day tour is designed for maximum institutional exposure and meaningful student engagement.

The journey begins in Delhi, where participants will arrive on September 7 for orientation and a welcome dinner. Over the next week, the tour moves through Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Pune, with multiple institution visits and city-to-city transitions fully managed by the Simpled team. Each location was chosen not just for its reputation, but for its relevance in shaping the next generation of international legal talent.

Expect focused days filled with impactful student interactions, a free day to recharge, and a powerful close on September 15 leaving you with connections that last long after the tour ends.

General Stats: Indian Graduate Students Studying Abroad

• Over 770,000 Indian students studied abroad in 2023 (Indian Ministry of External Affairs).

• Roughly 60–70% of Indian students who go abroad pursue graduate degrees (ICEF Monitor).

• 268,923 Indian students were enrolled in the U.S. in 2022–2023 (Open Doors Report, IIE).

• Of those, over 166,000 were graduate-level students (62% of total Indian enrollment).

• STEM and MBA programs are by far the most in-demand fields for Indian grad students.

Fairs Vs Tours

• Targeted Engagement Over Broad Exposure

  • Quality over quantity: Direct visits let you engage with pre-qualified, relevant students rather than casting a wide net at fairs.

  • Meet students who are already in the academic pipeline (final-year undergrads or master’s students in related fields).

  • Focus on students from specific departments or majors aligned with your graduate offerings (e.g. Computer Science, Engineering, Business).

• Deeper Conversations, Higher Conversion

  • Allows for in-depth, program-specific conversations vs. quick, surface-level chats at crowded booths.

  • Better opportunity to explain nuanced offerings like research, faculty, assistantships, and STEM OPT.

  • More time to address questions around career outcomes, visa, housing, funding, etc. — all key for graduate students.

• Bypass the Noise

  • Fairs are often over-saturated with institutions competing for attention in a chaotic environment.

  • Your message can easily get lost in the crowd.

  • Direct campus visits allow you to own the room — whether in a classroom, auditorium, or department seminar.

How We Select Institutions

Not every school makes the cut and that’s intentional. During the session, Yasir shared the key criteria Simpled uses to select host institutions: strong university leadership, student language proficiency, financial readiness, and a clear trend of students aiming to study abroad. These metrics ensure that every visit is purposeful and productive for LL.M. recruiters.

With 20+ institutions across 3–4 major cities, and a strict 10-participant cap, the tour is designed to maximize visibility and engagement without crowding or compromise.
