Acquiring a foreign education is an aspiration many students carry in their hearts. Not only the students, but also their parents too are equally enthusiastic about sending their children abroad to study, as this will get them a global exposure and they would become confident enough to handle their lives independently. Another major reason behind the recognition of overseas education is the high level of job competition in the market.
However, students are unaware of the complicated application procedures to get admission to a reputed foreign institute, how to build their profiles and what courses to pursue. Furthermore, a recent study warned of the perils of Indian students left in the lurch by foreign universities and hence the best solution is to seek advice from a trusted overseas education consultant.
Karan Gupta Consulting is one such education and career guidance organization, which has the expertise to guide you about the best colleges and universities, best majors, best countries, and so on, from where you can pursue a course of your choice. They also guide the students regarding the admission process of different universities and colleges, respective fees structure, estimated expenses, career prospects and so on.
Based in Mumbai, Karan Gupta Consulting has counseled over 48,400 students in achieving admission into prestigious overseas universities. In addition, 90% of those students gain some form of scholarship or funding thanks to Dr. Karan Gupta’s direct experience working for the Admissions and Aid Funding department of major US universities. 158,000 students, graduates, and professionals from over 60 countries have attended KGC’s seminars on overseas study, graduate career guidance and continuing education.
KGC’s track record is impressive. Every student they have counseled has been accepted to a reputed university or higher education setting. Moreover, KGC has formed the non-profit Karan Gupta Education Foundation (KGEF) with a specific mission to provide access to education for underprivileged children and women. The foundation runs skills development courses for the differently-abled as well as the underprivileged, the most recent one being a mobile repairing course for students at the Fellowship of the Physically Challenged.
KGC’s business philosophy is driven by their belief that education is the most powerful tool at our disposal, and that a lack of knowledge about how the educational system works should be no barrier to entry.
