Pros & cons

AECC Global Nepal
✓ What students love
  • ✓Free counselling and university applications — AECC is paid by partner institutions, not students
  • ✓4.8/5 across 1,700+ Google reviews — one of the highest-rated major consultancies in Nepal
  • ✓Authorised representative of 1,100+ universities including Russell Group (UK) and Group of Eight (Australia)
  • ✓Four branches across Nepal: Putalisadak, Baneshwor, Pokhara, and Chitwan
  • ✓In-house test prep for IELTS, PTE, TOEFL, GRE, GMAT, and Duolingo
  • ✓Active scholarship support — counsellors help students secure 25-50% tuition reductions
  • ✓Post-arrival support including accommodation search and student health insurance
✗ Drawbacks
  • ✗High volume means counsellor availability can be stretched at peak season (Jan-Mar and Jul-Aug)
  • ✗Less depth for niche destinations like Germany or Japan compared to specialist boutique agencies
  • ✗Some students report needing to proactively follow up on their file after initial counselling
  • ✗Test preparation coaching is paid separately and not included in the free service
Grace International
✓ What students love

  • ✓International offices in 7+ countries (Australia, UAE, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Kenya) provide genuine post-arrival support in destination countries
  • ✓South Korea as an active pathway option is rare among Nepal agencies and reflects genuine destination diversity
  • ✓Full test prep suite — IELTS, PTE, GMAT, TOEFL, SAT — covering both English proficiency and postgraduate admissions requirements
  • ✓Secondary city branches in Butwal, Chitwan, Biratnagar, and Nepalgunj extend Kathmandu-level counselling quality to regional students
✗ Drawbacks
  • ✗Managing 10+ Nepal branches and 7+ international offices introduces real service quality standardisation challenges
  • ✗Prospective students should verify their local branch has counsellors who specialise in their specific destination, not only generalist advisors
