“It was a great pleasure to work with Varun, assisted by Roshan, during my applications for undergraduate studies abroad. My initial discussions with them helped me to identify my strength and finalize the right set of universities to apply for. They were of great help during the entire application process right from selection of universities and the courses until receipt of the offers of admission offers and scholarships. I felt very comfortable and confident that my university admission process was in the right hands. Thanks Varun and Roshan and trust you will continue to assist students like me in the future!“
