Frequently asked
questions

Most UK universities require IELTS 6.0 to 6.5 overall with no band below 5.5. The UKVI minimum is lower, but universities set their own thresholds. We will tell you the exact requirement for each university on your shortlist.

You need to show full first year tuition fees plus living costs for 9 months. That is GBP 1,334 per month for London or GBP 1,023 per month outside London. These funds must be held in a bank account for 28 consecutive days before you apply.

Standard processing from India is approximately 3 weeks. We recommend applying at least 6 to 8 weeks before your course start date to account for biometrics appointment availability.

Yes. Student Visa holders can work up to 20 hours per week during term time and full time during official university vacation periods. You cannot be self-employed or work as a professional sportsperson on this visa.

The Graduate Route allows you to stay in the UK after completing your degree and work in any job, any sector, for 2 years if you completed a bachelor or masters, or 3 years for a PhD. No employer sponsorship is required and you can apply from inside the UK.

Yes. A previous refusal does not automatically disqualify you, but it must be addressed properly. We review your refusal letter, identify the exact reason, and build a stronger reapplication. Do not reapply without understanding why the first one was refused.

We typically recommend applying to 4 to 6 universities per student — a mix of ambitious, realistic, and safe choices based on your profile. Applying to too few increases risk. Applying to too many wastes application fees.

Most postgraduate programmes require IELTS 6.0 to 6.5. Top universities like Manchester, Warwick, and Birmingham often require 6.5 with no band below 6.0. Some foundation programmes accept 5.5. We match you to universities within your current or achievable band.

Yes, for almost every UK university. An SOP is one of the most important parts of your application. It is your opportunity to explain why this specific programme, at this specific university, makes sense for your career. A weak SOP loses offers. A strong SOP wins them.

Yes, but you need to explain the gap clearly in your personal statement. Universities want to understand what you did during the gap. Work experience, family circumstances, and health reasons are all valid — they just need to be addressed honestly.

Ideally 8 to 10 months before your intended course start date. For January intakes, start in April. For September intakes, start in October or November the year before. Starting late reduces your university options and adds stress.

No. Any consultancy that guarantees an offer letter is lying to you. We cannot control university admissions decisions. What we guarantee is an honest assessment of your profile, the strongest possible application, and guidance at every step.

For a 1 year postgraduate programme, budget approximately GBP 15,000 to 25,000 for tuition and GBP 10,000 to 18,000 for living costs depending on the city. London is the most expensive. Sheffield, Coventry, and Northumbria are significantly more affordable.

SBI, HDFC Credila, Avanse, Axis Bank, and InCred are the main lenders for UK education. Secured loans (with collateral) go up to Rs 1.5 crore. Unsecured loans typically cap at Rs 40 to 50 lakhs. The right lender depends on your profile and collateral availability.

Not always. Several NBFCs including HDFC Credila, Avanse, and Prodigy Finance offer unsecured loans for students going to top-ranked universities. If your university ranking is strong and your co-applicant has a good CIBIL score, unsecured options are available.

The Immigration Health Surcharge is a mandatory payment that gives you access to the NHS during your stay. It is currently GBP 776 per year and must be paid upfront as part of your visa application. For a 2 year course, you pay GBP 1,552 at the time of applying.

We earn through university partnerships and referral arrangements with select financial service providers. You pay us nothing. This model only works if we get you to the right university and your visa gets approved — so our incentive is 100 percent aligned with your success.

Yes. Chevening, Commonwealth, GREAT Scholarships, and university-specific scholarships are available. Most require strong academics, a clear career vision, and an early application. We help identify scholarships you are eligible for and guide the application process.

We handle your entire study abroad journey from profile evaluation and university shortlisting to SOP writing, visa filing, and post-arrival support. You get one point of contact — Saurabh — who knows your file and is reachable on WhatsApp throughout the process.

From first consultation to departure, the typical timeline is 6 to 9 months. This includes IELTS preparation (if needed), university applications, offer letter, visa application, and pre-departure support. Starting early gives you more options and less stress.

No. The entire process can be handled remotely via WhatsApp, video calls, and email. Many of our students are from outside Gujarat. If you are in Ahmedabad, you are welcome to visit our office at Shilp Epitome, Bodakdev.

We provide pre-departure guidance covering airport procedures, what to carry, what to expect at UK immigration, setting up a bank account, registering with a GP, and the first steps after arriving. You are not on your own once the visa is done.

We analyse the refusal, identify the reason, and advise on the strongest path forward. This may be a reapplication with strengthened documentation or an appeal depending on the refusal grounds. We have successfully reapplied for students with prior refusals.
