Pros & cons

Meridean Overseas
✓ What students love
  • ✓Strong Canada PR pathway expertise alongside student visas
  • ✓Proven UK visa approval track record
  • ✓Personalised counselling approach
  • ✓Transparent fee structure
✗ Drawbacks
  • ✗Less strong for USA and Australia applications

The Chopras
✓ What students love
  • ✓25+ years of track record — one of India's most experienced study abroad consultancies
  • ✓Largest office network in the market: 20+ branches spanning major metros and Tier-2 cities (Chandigarh, Jaipur, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Hubli, Trivandrum, Cochin)
  • ✓1,500+ partner university relationships across 40+ countries — broad global destination coverage
  • ✓Full study-abroad funnel under one roof: psychometric assessment, university selection, application, test prep, visa, and scholarships
  • ✓Authorised NCUK centre — provides UK foundation year pathways not widely available through other Indian consultancies
  • ✓TC Global student platform enables online shortlisting and application tracking with counsellor oversight
  • ✓Claims 2.5 million+ students served and 300,000+ placements per year — scale that few rivals match
✗ Drawbacks
  • ✗Large corporate structure may mean less personalised attention than a boutique consultancy; counsellor quality has been reported as variable by branch
  • ✗Primary focus is on Indian students — less relevant for applicants from other South Asian countries who may prefer agencies with local expertise
  • ✗Website and marketing material is heavy on statistics and light on independently verifiable data (e.g. visa success rates, specific university acceptance records)
