About 160 domestic and foreign students participated, and showed deep interest in enrolling at CAU.

At the admission information session, Kazakh students asked a variety of questions on preparing to study at CAU. The PR video and campus tour in Kazakh language prepared by the International Affairs Team drew an enthusiastic response from the students.
