Q. Which course and country did you choose and why?
RK: I choose MSc in Accounting and Finance in UK, I have selected this course because of my interest and future prospects. I selected UK for its diversity and the experience where one gets to meet a lot of people from different backgrounds and a Master's in UK is of one year which is half the time as compared to other countries.
Q. How was your experience with the Shiksha counseling team? How did you discover us?
RK: I came to know about Shiksha from my cousin who was also looking to study abroad. She was looking to pursue a master's in UK and has taken Shiksha counseling services. She told me about her experience with Shiksha, how helpful the team was, and how they guide her in selecting the universities. I took the Shiksha team’s contact number from her and reached out to my counselor Deepika. She was helpful in selecting the universities, preparing all the documents required, and getting my resume ready. It was a wonderful experience working with them and they also helped me immensely with the visa application which was a bit challenging if you do it yourself. They helped me completely during the entire application process from applying to getting documents ready, explaining the payment process. Overall, it was a great experience working with them.
Q. Did you try any other agents? If so, why did you pick us over them?
RK: I did not look for other agents, as I was extremely satisfied with the services of Shiksha.
Q. What did you think was the most challenging part of applying to universities abroad?
RK: I did not face any issues during my entire application process. It was great working with Shiksha. Arranging so many documents for the application process was challenging, as it was time-consuming.
