Pros & cons

AIMS Education
✓ What students love
  • ✓20-year operating history provides counsellor experience across multiple visa policy cycles
  • ✓Coverage of Japan and South Korea gives students options beyond the saturated Australia-Canada corridor
  • ✓Combined test preparation and admissions support reduces coordination complexity
  • ✓Large partner university network of 100+ institutions across six countries
✗ Drawbacks
  • ✗As a mid-sized agency, it may have less negotiating leverage with universities than the largest national chains
  • ✗Success rates and placement outcomes are not published
  • ✗Staff turnover in Kathmandu's competitive consultancy market can affect counsellor continuity
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
