Pros & cons

AECC Global Ahmedabad

✓ What students love

✓4.8★ from 1,800+ JustDial reviews: Among the highest independently-reviewed study abroad offices in Ahmedabad — volume and rating quality are both strong.
✓Melbourne-headquartered — deep Australia knowledge: The company's Australian origins give the Ahmedabad team access to institutional relationships and current policy awareness that India-headquartered offices lack.
✓Dedicated counsellor model: Students work with a single counsellor throughout — reducing inconsistency in advice.
✓Accessible C.G. Road location: Central Navrangpura with walk-in availability, useful for students who prefer in-person consultations.

✗ Drawbacks

✗Free counselling commission model: As with all commission-funded offices, recommendations may favour higher-commission institutions — proactively ask if options outside the partner network were considered.
✗Less depth for non-Anglophone destinations: AECC is strongest for English-speaking destinations; students targeting Germany or France should look elsewhere.

IDP Education Ahmedabad

✓ What students love

✓IELTS co-owner and test administrator: IDP administers official IELTS tests — students can sit their English test and receive counselling from the same organisation.
✓Global network of 650+ partner universities: Particularly strong for Australia, with comprehensive coverage of Group of Eight and other Australian universities.
✓55+ years of operation: The longest-established study abroad consultancy in the world — processes, compliance, and quality controls are mature.
✓Free counselling: All counselling is free; IDP earns commission from placement, not from students.
✓C.G. Road location: Well-connected office on one of Ahmedabad's most accessible commercial strips.

✗ Drawbacks

✗Commission model can influence recommendations: Like all free-counselling offices, IDP earns more from institutions that pay higher commissions — be aware that recommendations may not cover all available options.
✗Less personalised than boutique offices: As a large corporate consultancy, students seeking highly personalised attention may prefer smaller offices.
