Pros & cons

AIMS Education
✓ What students love

✗ 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
Studylane International
✓ What students love

  • ✓10,000+ student placements across 17+ years of operation
  • ✓Four Nepal office locations: Kathmandu, Butwal, Dhangadi, and Pokhara

  • ✓Student reviews consistently highlight smooth documentation handling and responsive communication
✗ Drawbacks
