After getting 2 Refusals initially during 2025 when applied with IDP I switched to shiksha study abroad where Sumit Sir was appointed as my counsellor. Sumit sir was very helpful and was always available through calls and messages no matter how many times I call in a day to clear my doubts. Guidance was top notch as sir prepared a comprehensive list of institutions matching my profile and applied in only those courses and institutions which are 100% matching my profile which led to approval of my application in the first attempt. If anyone wants to get detailed and proper guidance then they can register through Shiksha Study Abroad and can select Sumit Sir as there counsellor.

From the very beginning, he has been incredibly supportive and understanding. One of the things I appreciate the most is his friendly nature. He creates a comfortable environment where we feel free to talk about any doubt or question we have. He never rushes you into making a decision, and that makes a huge difference—especially for students who may be stressed or unsure about their choices. Another major strength is his availability. He responds promptly, no matter the time or situation. His willingness to help at any hour truly reflects his dedication and commitment toward guiding students. Overall, he is a counselor who genuinely cares about students’ growth and well-being. I strongly recommend him to any student looking for someone trustworthy, approachable, and consistently supportive.

My journey with Sumit has been genuinely wonderful, I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better counsellor. From the very beginning, Sumit made the entire process feel less overwhelming and more like a guided journey. He guided me through every step, from choosing the right college to helping with IELTS preparation and handling all the important formalities, visa and even accommodation. What could have been a stressful process felt smooth and manageable because of his support. What I appreciate most is how patient, kind, and genuinely invested he is. Sumit took the time to understand my goals, explained everything clearly, and always checked in to make sure I was comfortable with each step. Whenever I had doubts, he was just a message away with detailed, reassuring answers. He is the kind of counsellor who actually cares about his student's dreams and not just the process. Because of him, my entire journey felt seamless and stress-free. Highly, highly recommended!
