The coaches are alumni of leading universities and give a significant fillip to UpGuide’s existing team of international education specialists.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 30: UpGuide, a leading tech-based platform that assists students and professionals to secure admission in leading universities in the US, the UK, Canada, Europe, and elsewhere, to put them on the right career path, is gearing up for the big league.

Having already helped thousands and students gain admissions in Ivy League universities such as Harvard, Yale, Cornell, besides Oxford, Cambridge, and other top-notch universities through its curated network of coaches, UpGuide is now looking to assist many more students in realising their dream of overseas education.

UpGuide has significantly bolstered its resources by bringing on board more than 100 coaches across countries to work with students and professionals and help them prepare for PhD, MBA, MS, MSc, BBA, BSc, and numerous other top-rated and in-demand courses.

These 100 coaches, mostly of Indian origin, are alumni of leading universities and work in the US, the UK, Canada, Europe, and other popular international education destinations. The new coaches give a significant fillip to UpGuide’s existing team comprising international education specialists.

“Lack of quality coaching and mentoring is a key issue in the overseas education consultancy. In spite of paying through the nose, students end up selecting poor colleges because the coaching they received was not up to the mark. UpGuide believes in hiring only the very best and qualified coaches, who themselves have experience in international studies, to ensure students get the highest quality of guidance and mentoring,” says Rishika Maheshwari, Director and Head Marketing at UpGuide.

UpGuide offers students the chance to choose from over 30,000 programmes offered in hundreds of universities and is a one-stop solution for the correct guidance for overseas education opportunities. The UpGuide team assists aspiring students with variables including courses, scholarships, exam modules, colleges, etc. It helps them create a stellar resume and write a stand-out statement of purpose/essay.

The UpGuide team helps students prepare for GRE, GMAT, TOEFL, SAT, ACT, IELTS, and other exams students need to clear before becoming eligible for admission in universities overseas.

UpGuide also assists in machine learning and Artificial Intelligence-based university selection, personalised mentoring and counseling, college interview preparation, auto-application generation for chosen college, visa, loans, and accommodation, to ensure the whole process is smooth and hassle-free.

The platform is also introducing a technology to make the whole process of overseas education even more efficient. UpGuide has developed a technology that will allow students to get the correct assistance at every step of their journey to the University of their Dreams. The technology will facilitate selection of the right college based on the student’s profile, shortlist colleges through platform coaches, and also prepare them as per the college’s requirement,” said Arunav Gilotra, Product Director at UpGuide, and a computer science engineer from the University of Toronto.

Arunav said they would be filing for a patent for the technology soon.

“We understand the rapidly changing dynamics today and have ensured that each UpGuide student is getting nothing but best of services through tailored application strategy, globally renowned coaches and our technology,” adds Rohini Chauhan, Sr. Counsellor at UpGuide.

Pune, August 27: An expert and certified career counselor for international studies at India to International, a leading career counseling firm in Pune, predicts a 25 per cent increase in the number of applicants opting to study MBBS abroad compared to 2020. The number of applications for the exam NEET-UG received by NTA since its launch in 2017 has increased every year. This year we are seeing the same trend with students. The most significant factor that worries an applicant is the competition. From this year, the Government of India has decided to introduce 27% OBC reservation (Non-Creamy Layer) and 10% EWS reservation for 15% graduate seats (UG) in All India Quota (MBBS/BDS) (provided by states/UTs on Central Pool). Applicants who want to pursue MBBS studies in government institutions or at Pvt Institutions where the fee is affordable will face stiffer competition for these seats. Ultimately, some will not make it, and some will succeed. We have grown fond of those who fail to make it year after year, and we genuinely feel sorry for these families. These days, the NEET – UG exam has become a family affair. Everyone in the family of NEET aspirants is making sacrifices in one way or the other. India to International Counselors understands this severe problem for those who fail to make it. We want to educate all the candidates and their parents through this article that this is not the end of the road; we are among the dedicated professionals who help students with personal, emotional, and psychological problems while they try to pursue their dream careers. India to International is aware of this bitter reality that money is a crucial factor in the world and our times. As bad as it may sound, sometimes people have to compromise on their choice of studies if they cannot afford it. At India to International, our counselors motivate candidates and make them understand that while the money factor may influence their career choice, it should not be the only factor that makes them abandon their dream journey midway. If they are willing to put in the effort and make some minor adjustments, such as living far away from their hometown, they can still dream of becoming a successful doctor.

As a company, we offer admission to the best world-class universities around the world at Affordable Budget. Why does India International promote MBBS to study abroad? Firstly, the fee structure at universities abroad is very affordable compared to many Pvt Medical College or Deemed Universities in India. The universities we offer are mainly Govt. Universities in Russia, Ukraine, the Philippines, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mauritius, Italy, Hungary, etc. Secondly, unlike in India, Universities/Institutes abroad provide students with state-of-the-art facilities for a holistic educational experience. Thirdly, universities have top-notch faculty members and offer internationally recognized degrees to the students to make a name for themselves in their field across the globe. Universities and colleges abroad also provide students with the highest level of security to feel at home in a foreign country. Fourth, many state universities abroad use English as the primary language of instruction and communication at medical schools to attract international students.

However, applicants should note that it is always an advantage to be proficient in the local language. Exposure of the research opportunities available to students in foreign universities is far greater than in India, even at the undergraduate level. Since the medical industry is global and well-connected, an MBBS graduate from abroad is not just limited to his home country but can also apply for various PG courses or entrance exams. What do we do? What is our mission? We take great care to offer college to different applicants, considering their learning style, budget, aptitude, and individual suitability for the weather. We also educate students on the importance of being aware that course durations vary from country to country. We also advise students on the choice of course based on duration and give them insights into the differences between a 4, 5, or 6-year MBBS program abroad with or without internships in India and abroad. We also ensure that all candidates choose the right accredited college. The NExT exam will be implemented in 2023 for Indian MBBS graduates and foreign medical graduates applying for licensure in India. We have Exclusive Tie-Ups with various reputed Indian Faculties /speakers, which will prepare our students for the NExT exam at the beginning of the fourth year.

New Delhi, Aug 19: Unhappy with the 10th and 12th  results of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), private schools and students staged a dharna on Wednesday at the CBSE headquarters in Preet Vihar, Delhi. This demonstration was held under the National Independent Schools Alliance (NISA). NISA has demanded that CBSE take responsibility for this result drawn under the substandard system so that tomorrow the students do not curse the schools.

More than 150 school owners from various states and all the students of Delhi participated in this demonstration. NISA National President Kulbhushan Sharma said that there is a lot of anger among teachers, students, and parents regarding the tabulation formula made for preparing CBSEs 10th and 12th class results. Due to this result, the problems of the school administration and school operators have increased. Students and their parents are asking questions about their future and career. Therefore, NISA has demanded from CBSE that they should take full responsibility for their board results themselves.

All the school owners and students demonstrated this demand on Wednesday at the CBSE Headquarters in Preet Vihar by holding a symbolic protest. Many students say that this result declared through CBSE has ruined both their future and career. Due to this, now neither the school will run, nor the students will be saved. Therefore, CBSE will have to take full responsibility for this poor result itself.

According to NISA President Kulbhushan Sharma, under the tabulation policy of CBSE, the scope of giving numbers to the children of schools has been limited, and there is no such restriction in the state board. Under which the number of children is high in the state board, and the number of middle and low-grade children who appeared in the CBSE examination has remained low, which is a gross injustice to these children and their parents. NISA also raised its voice for the safety of teachers. Also demanded the representation of private schools from all over the country in the CBSE governing body.
