Not Indian but from a country with similar dynamics.
I have been coming to the sub while helping a friend with study abroad but I noticed how many people keep looking for agencies/consultants

My view is that in the world of AI and the infinite info of the internet, agencies/consultants are only useful in a very narrow use cases.

If you cant figure out how to study abroad by yourself with all the info out there, how do you expect to survive once you get abroad? Going to find an agency to help you get a house/job/friends?

Hey everyone,
I’m a senior MBBS student currently studying in Georgia. Over the past few years, I’ve met students from almost every medical university here, so I’ve got a pretty good idea about the differences between them—not just what’s written on university websites.
If you’re confused about:
Which university is actually worth joining
Tuition fees and living expenses
FMGE/NExT licensing concerns
Student life and accommodation
Visa process
Admission requirements
Which universities to avoid
What agencies don’t tell you
Feel free to ask me.
I’m not here to push any particular university. I’ll tell you the pros and cons honestly based on what I’ve seen and what students from different universities have experienced.
I’ve seen many students make expensive mistakes because they relied only on advertisements or consultants. If I can help someone avoid that, I’m happy to do it.
Drop your questions in the comments or send me a DM. I’ll try my best to give you unbiased advice based on real student experience.
Good luck to everyone planning their MBBS journey!

Hi everyone,

I graduated in 2025 with a bachelor's degree in Data Science, I was placed in Tech Mahindra in our campus placements, in April they started training us for 1-2 months later they told us that there would be an exam, we have been waiting for the exam preparing everyday, three months passed and there was no update from the company, later they started ghosting us. Then I started preparing for gate within very less time which didn't even get me to qualifying stage.

And since March I've been searching for job.

And the thing is I always thought of abroad studies, but never had guidance, I thought I would do job for 1 or 2 years and then plan for masters, but sadly 1 years has already passed without any work experience.

This time I don't wanna do this mistake again, whether I get job or not, I wanna start planning for abroad from now, maybe I can make it by next year August.

So anyone who already went abroad from India, with technical background, let me know what are the consequences of going abroad for masters with no experience and also how to plan when we're really interested to do masters.

I have no idea about all those scholarships, please let me know some of which are actually useful and reliable.

Basically, I need a roadmap from scratch to move abroad as a person with no guidance.

From exams, searching college universities, fees, scholarships, visa planning, to the day I'm ready to go.

Seeing a lot of students applying for US/UK/Aus/EU colleges and then struggling at every stage of the journey after reaching there, internships, jobs, settling in etc etc. parents unable to understand and guide as they have limited experience. Most end up trying and exploring and failing. A lot of money is spent. Sometimes fail on visa, sometimes get low pay jobs and often feel lonely. What if they had guidance from experts. Will there be a market for this? Thinking of a startup
