Your first counselling session with us is free. You can book it through the “Book Free Counselling” option on this website, and we will talk through your goals, budget and options before you decide anything.
No. Admission decisions are made by universities, and visa decisions are made by the immigration authorities of each country. We help you choose suitable options and prepare a complete, accurate application, but no consultant can promise an outcome.
We advise on study options in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Canada, Germany, Dubai, the Netherlands, Spain, Cyprus, Malta, Latvia and Lithuania. We can help you compare these based on your course, budget and long-term plans.
Ideally around a year before your course starts, so there is time for English tests, applications, funding and the visa. If you have less time, contact us and we can check which intakes are still realistic for you.
Visa rules are set by each country’s government and change regularly. Always check the official immigration website for your destination, and we will point you to the right pages during counselling.
It depends on the country, the university and the course. Tuition, living costs, visa fees, health cover and travel all add up, so we prepare a cost sheet in rupees for each shortlisted option. You can also try the Mantra Cost Planner on this website before your session.
Most destinations allow students to work part-time during term and more during official holidays, but the limits differ by country and can change. We explain the current rules for your destination and remind you to check the official immigration website.
Most universities ask for an English test such as IELTS or PTE, though some accept other evidence for certain courses. We check the exact requirement for every university on your shortlist before you book a test.
Yes. We point you to scholarships offered by universities and governments for your country and course, and help you meet their deadlines. Awards are decided by the scholarship providers, so they cannot be promised.
Many countries have a main autumn intake and one or two smaller intakes. The right one depends on course availability, your test dates and your documents, so we plan your timeline around the intake you can realistically meet.
Tell us a little about your plans. A counsellor will call you with options that fit your profile and budget.
