Pros & cons

British Council Bangladesh
✓ What students love
  • ✓Non-commercial model — no commission from universities, so guidance is unbiased
  • ✓Official IELTS co-owner — authorised test registration and testing centres in Dhaka
  • ✓Longest track record in Bangladesh (since 1951) — exceptional knowledge of UK education system
  • ✓StudyUK service gives access to the full range of 160+ UK universities — not limited to partners
  • ✓UK scholarship and funding information including Chevening, Commonwealth, and GREAT scholarships
  • ✓Strong English language programmes for students who need to improve before applying
✗ Drawbacks
  • ✗UK only — students considering Australia, Canada, USA or other destinations should use a different service
  • ✗Does not manage applications on behalf of students — advisory service only, not end-to-end placement
  • ✗Walk-in counselling may have limited availability — appointment-based system
  • ✗No visa application support beyond information provision — students must manage UKVI applications themselves
Rowshan Global Pathways
✓ What students love
  • ✓Honest, transparent positioning — its own materials state that no visa outcome is guaranteed and that decisions rest with universities and authorities
  • ✓Personalised, profile-based counselling (academic background, budget, English level, destination) rather than one-size-fits-all packages
  • ✓Founder states hands-on consulting experience since 2022
  • ✓Clear, structured process with A–Z documentation checklists and pre-departure support
✗ Drawbacks
  • ✗Very new company — founded in 2026, so it has a short track record as a business
  • ✗Small team and early-stage online presence (Gmail address, Netlify-hosted site) — normal for a new firm, but confirm the office and credentials in person
  • ✗Self-reported figures (200+ students guided, 70%+ visa success) are not independently verified
  • ✗No professional accreditation (e.g. ICEF or British Council) stated
  • ✗No verified student reviews on ConsultancyCheck yet — ask to speak with recent students
