Twelve years of getting students on the plane.
Study International Consultancy Services began as one desk in Gwalior. It is now a full study abroad concierge — admissions, tests, visas, loans, forex and landing support under a single roof.

A career spent inside admissions rooms and visa corridors convinced him of something simple: families rarely fail on ambition, they fail on information. SICS exists to close that gap — with real numbers, real timelines and counsel that survives scrutiny.
He writes on education finance in Dollars & Dreams and hosts long-form conversations with admissions officers on The Kool Gurus.

How we work
Honest shortlists
We name the universities you can actually get into — and the ones you shouldn't pay for.

One owner per file
A named counsellor stays with you from profile audit to boarding pass.
No hidden margin
Forex and ticketing are concierge services, not revenue traps.
