Part of the global IDP network, IDP Sri Lanka is one of the most trusted overseas education consultancies offering university placement, IELTS testing, and visa support.
IDP Colombo is the gold standard for overseas education advice in Sri Lanka. The counsellor I worked with had studied in Australia and gave very practical advice about which cities and universities suit different lifestyle preferences, not just academic rankings. Got into University of Wollongong for my Masters in Engineering. Visa approved in exactly 4 weeks.
IDP Sri Lanka was brilliant on the UK application front. They know which UK universities actively recruit from Sri Lanka and where Sri Lankan students have a track record of success — this is insider knowledge that made a real difference to my shortlist quality. Got into University of Surrey for MSc International Marketing. CAS received in 12 days.
My New Zealand student visa experience through IDP was excellent. New Zealand is not the most common destination from Sri Lanka and I appreciated that the counsellor was genuinely expert in it rather than just providing generic guidance. Got into University of Otago for Postgraduate Diploma in Commerce. Very happy with the outcome and the service.
Good service overall. The admissions processing is clearly streamlined due to IDP's university partnerships — my offer letter from Macquarie University came through in 5 business days, which I understand is unusually fast. The visa support was thorough and my student visa was approved first time.
IDP is reliable but the service felt very standardised. I had specific questions about the relationship between my student visa and potential post-study work rights and the answers I got were quite textbook. The application was submitted correctly and my study permit for Canada was approved, but I expected more tailored advice.
