About IDP Education Ahmedabad

IDP Education was co-founded in 1969 by seven Australian universities and the Australian government. Today it is one of the world's largest international student placement agencies, operating in 50+ countries. The Ahmedabad office is located on C.G. Road in Navrangpura, and a second office operates at Palak Prime on Iskcon Ambli Road. IDP is a co-owner of IELTS, which means the company administers official IELTS tests directly — something no other study abroad office in Ahmedabad can offer. Counselling is free for students, funded through commissions from the 650+ universities in IDP's partner network. The network spans Australia, Canada, the UK, the USA, New Zealand, and Ireland, with particular depth in Australian institutions given the company's origins.

Our research

ConsultancyCheck's own assessment, from public records and the company's own materials. This is our judgement — not a summary of student reviews.

Strengths
  • 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.
Limitations
  • !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.

How IDP Education Ahmedabad get paid

Free for students

IDP Education Ahmedabad does not charge students a placement fee. Like most education agents, it is paid a commission by the universities it places students into. That does not make its advice bad — but the agent is paid by the institution, not by you, so it has more financial reason to recommend a partner university than a non-partner one. Ask which universities it represents, and whether your shortlist is on that list.

Frequently asked questions

The bottom line

IDP Education Ahmedabad is the strongest choice for students targeting Australia, and a credible option for Canada, UK, and New Zealand. The IELTS co-ownership is a genuine advantage — having your test and counselling under one roof reduces friction during a time-sensitive application cycle. Students targeting non-English destinations like Germany or France should look elsewhere.

Best for
Students targeting Australia or other English-speaking destinations who want an internationally accredited consultancy with access to official IELTS testing in the same office.
