The experience has been great so far. The mentor, counselor, and team are helping me in the best way possible to get into the University I wish to pursue the course in.

Anudeep Murala

Bachelor's of Business

RMIT University

I was slow to the party when it came to applying to university admissions. The ISC team's continual support- reviewing your SOPs or aiding you with the post-application Visa process, deserves plaudit.

Aryan Rajeev

Bachelor's of Business

RMIT University

Had a great experience although at first we did have a communication error and had to change a few councillors but after that everything was smooth from finding universities, application filling, and GTE interview practice. Thanks to Martina Ma'am and Alok Sir.
