Make sure that your search is beyond courses, universities and their location. Make decisions based on the pedagogy used in the institutes, research opportunities offered there, post-study work opportunities and more. Consider other factors like language, culture, climate and safety, which are equally important, before finalizing a study destination.

Must knows before the departure
There are many important matters which you need to be aware of, such as immigration rules of the country, foreign exchange, insurance, sim card, bank account opening while adapting to the new culture. To help you ease the last-minute anxiety, attend the pre-departure sessions organized to help you develop an understanding of everything important.
Keep a track of the offer letter
Once you make an application request, the university authorities will assess your profile and confirm their decision by sending you an invitation mail/ offer letter. This is a lengthy process and sometimes takes up to a few weeks. Our counsellors help you keep track of the progress and notify you of any conditions if they apply.
Make the application
We understand that making an application is a diverse process, including formalities and issues that need to be looked into, understood and cautiously followed. Even the slightest mistake in the admission application process often leads to refusal of admission, which is why our counsellors take their jobs thoughtfully.
It is only after thoroughly studying your academic background and interests our experts guide you in shortlisting programs that best match your profile. They will help you in making an error-free and well-represented application for the university of your choice. They will also connect with the university's admission authority to highlight the strengths and reasons that make you a perfect fit for the course. Here’s how it happens:
- Your counsellor will provide you with the application form
- They will make you understand the procedure of filling up the form
- They will provide the details of the documents required
- They will help you prepare documents like SOP (Statement of Purpose), LORs, and Resumes
- They will send the application on your behalf
Apply for a student visa
Upon receiving the offer letter, the most crucial task is to make a student visa application, as every country has individual visa requirements that must be carefully fulfilled. Worry not, as our counsellors will guide you through the visa application process and will help you prepare the documents required for submission.
While the requirements vary from country to country, here are a few common documents that are needed:
- A valid letter of enrolment from a recognized educational institution
- Copy of the current passport
- Passport size photographs
- Proof of language proficiency (if needed)
- Parental/guardian consent if you are under 18 years
- Proof of funds
