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
The Next Education Consultancy
✓ What students love
  • ✓AIRC certification — the US institutions' quality standard for international agents; one of very few Nepal agencies with this credential
  • ✓ISO certification — third-party management system verification
  • ✓6,000+ documented student placements across Australia, NZ, Canada, UK, USA, Ireland, and Denmark
  • ✓20+ Nepal branch offices including Dang, Manglapur, Tandi, Kawasoti — broadest regional reach of any Nepal-founded agency in this batch
  • ✓Sydney and Perth offices for post-arrival support in Australia
  • ✓Sri Lanka and Philippines offices extending the network for multi-country family placements
✗ Drawbacks
  • ✗20+ branches creates variability in counsellor quality — the regional Tandi or Dang offices will have fewer staff than the New Baneshwor HQ; confirm which branch and which counsellor will handle your case
  • ✗The Australia focus is very strong; Denmark and Ireland are listed destinations but verify counsellor-specific expertise before committing for European pathways
