Agents for UK Universities in India

It is better to apply through genuine agency for admission in overseas instituion.But which one is genuine is difficult to find. I know some agencies which I think are genuine and do not charge anything for their services.

ipc newdelhi
206,bhikaji cama bhawan ,bhikaji cama place
New Delhi 110066
índia
website: http://www.educationoverseas.com

Seema Malhotra
D-8 kalakaji ,near paras cinema
New Delhi 110019
India
Tele no : 26430912, 26415373, 9810089638
Email: seema_mal6@hotmail.com

Another one is chopra consultants new delhi (http://www.chopraconsultants.com/)

The most important thing is that you must contact the main person instead of applying through their branches.My first choice is Seema Malhotra and Mr Ajay Mittal (Ipc new delhi) .The problem with chopras is that personalised approach is limited.

Some tips:
The most of the times agents always pressurise to pay the fees in full amount as they are more worried about their commissions. However it is not necessary to pay the fees in full and this will not affect your visa application. The advantage is that they give you excellent free guidance on application and documentation for visa except about the fees.

Some facts about study in United Kingdom(UK)

International students this information may be useful for you.

The first thing is to check that college is in the list of Home office UK. This is important since many dodgy colleges in UK. The college name inclusion in Home office list does not mean that college is best for study. In UK any institute which is registered body can offer a certificate. You must know the difference between the registration, affiliation and accreditation. These all are different terms. Even I can open a college and claim that it is registered (yes u can register anything), recognised (By any dodgy body), accredited (by any body) and affiliated (to any dodgy /fake university).The institute may be unrecognised in your home country universities. Like one university (Halifax UniversityBirmingham , Preston University, etc) claims to be a recognised and they are saying that your certificate will be validated by the UK Home office. The UK home office will verify the certificate authenticity (verified copy of original) and will not in any way certify that this certificate is recognised degree. Even the institutes in the list may not be necessarily recognised by the government bodies for immigration and job purposes. The flaw in UK law is that any registered institute offering a course of 20 hours or more can call overseas students. The most of the private institutes are exploiting the flexible UK laws to damage the career of the overseas students. The Halifax University, Preston University are situated in USA and they can not call the overseas students to study in USA but they can do so in UK. Also their courses are neither recognised by UK universities, Indian universities and Immigration bodies of Canada ,Australia and New Zealand.
