Pros & cons

IDP Education Ahmedabad

✓ What students love

✓IELTS co-owner and test administrator: IDP administers official IELTS tests — students can sit their English test and receive counselling from the same organisation.
✓Global network of 650+ partner universities: Particularly strong for Australia, with comprehensive coverage of Group of Eight and other Australian universities.
✓55+ years of operation: The longest-established study abroad consultancy in the world — processes, compliance, and quality controls are mature.
✓Free counselling: All counselling is free; IDP earns commission from placement, not from students.
✓C.G. Road location: Well-connected office on one of Ahmedabad's most accessible commercial strips.

✗ Drawbacks

✗Commission model can influence recommendations: Like all free-counselling offices, IDP earns more from institutions that pay higher commissions — be aware that recommendations may not cover all available options.
✗Less personalised than boutique offices: As a large corporate consultancy, students seeking highly personalised attention may prefer smaller offices.

Kadamb Overseas Ahmedabad

✓ What students love

✓Ahmedabad's only Europe specialist: No other consultancy in the city operates exclusively for European universities — the specialist knowledge is unmatched locally.
✓250+ EU institution partnerships: Direct relationships with universities in Germany, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria.
✓97% visa success rate: Documented through 500+ student placements, indicating strong visa documentation expertise.
✓Completely free for students: All services including SOP review, application, and visa support are free — significant saving compared to consultancies that charge ₹50,000–₹2,00,000.
✓Founder directly involved: Saumitra Rajput is personally involved in counselling and has visited 25+ European campuses — advice is grounded in first-hand knowledge.

✗ Drawbacks

✗Europe only: Students who want to compare Europe against Australia or Canada cannot get comparative counselling here — a separate appointment with another agency would be needed.
✗Smaller team: As a boutique specialist, capacity may be limited during peak intake seasons.
