How to Choose a Genuine Consultancy (Very Important)
Because study-abroad involves large sums of money, choosing carefully protects you from fraud:
- Check registration: a genuine consultancy is registered with the government and ideally affiliated with ECAN (Educational Consultancy Association of Nepal).
- Verify university partnerships and ask about real success/visa rates.
- Beware guarantees: no honest consultancy can “guarantee” a visa — that’s a red flag.
- Understand all fees in writing before paying anything.
- Talk to past students and read independent reviews.
- Avoid pressure tactics and anyone advising you to submit false documents.
