We get to know about you, your goals, aspirations, your interest, your education qualification, extracurricular activities, internship and work experience.

UNIVERSITY LISTING

Based on the student's profile, we provide a list of universities best suited for the student. These options are given keeping in mind the nature and interest of the student apart from their qualifications or scores. We also look at the number of Indian/International students studying at the university. These factors enhance the overall well being of the student.

The same program may have different subjects and the syllabus may change from one university to another.
