This guide helps Kathmandu-based students navigate the study abroad process systematically and choose the right consultancy for their needs.
Why Kathmandu Students Have an Advantage
Students based in Kathmandu have direct access to: all major embassy visa sections (Australian Embassy, British Embassy, Canadian Embassy, American Embassy, German Embassy, Japanese Embassy), British Council and IDP IELTS centers, Pearson VUE (PTE and GRE/GMAT), and the full range of education consultancies. This means faster document processing, easier embassy appointments, and in-person counseling from experienced consultants — advantages not available to students from other regions who must travel to Kathmandu for these services.

- Accreditation: Is the agency a registered official representative of partner universities?
- Track record: How many students have been successfully placed? Can they provide references?
- Visa success rate: What percentage of their students receive visas?
- Destination expertise: Do they have dedicated counselors for each destination, or is one person handling all countries?
- Post-arrival support: Do they provide ongoing support after you land abroad?
