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
StudyCo Nepal
✓ What students love
  • ✓QEAC accreditation — Australian universities' primary quality credential for international agents
  • ✓28+ global offices providing consistent service standards across Nepal, Australia, and other markets
  • ✓500+ partner universities covering Australia, Canada, UK, USA, NZ, Malaysia, and Europe
  • ✓MARA-registered migration agents at Melbourne HQ for legally accountable Australian visa advice
  • ✓Global track record since 1997 — multi-cycle experience through major Australian visa policy changes
  • ✓Internship placement, health insurance, and accommodation arranged as part of the service
✗ Drawbacks
  • ✗Kathmandu is one of 28+ offices — confirm that your assigned local counsellor has genuine in-country experience for your target destination, not just access to the global database
  • ✗Less depth in Japan, South Korea, or European non-English-speaking destinations compared to specialist agencies
  • ✗The global StudyCo brand operates partly through partner offices in some countries; confirm whether Kathmandu is a directly employed StudyCo office or a licensed partner
