About NIEC Nepal
NIEC (Nepal International Educational Consultancy P. Ltd.) was established in January 2001 and operates from the 4th and 5th floors of the Share Market Complex, Putalisadak, Kathmandu. With 26+ years of continuous operation, NIEC is one of Nepal's oldest education consultancies. The agency holds a documented set of international credentials — ICEF accreditation, PIER (QEAC), USATC recognition, and ISO certification — a combination that places it among the most comprehensively certified agencies in the country. Destination coverage spans the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, Germany, Japan, and China, covering more study corridors than most Nepal competitors. Beyond Kathmandu, NIEC operates centres in Palpa, Pokhara, Chitwan, and Butwal within Nepal, and an additional office in Pakistan. Test preparation is integrated into the consultancy offering — IELTS, TOEFL, PTE-A, GMAT, GRE, and Digital SAT are available on-site — and the agency also runs an e-learning platform (elearning.niec.edu.np) for students in more remote locations.

How NIEC Nepal get paid
NIEC Nepal 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.
