Counselling
A profile review that ends with a written shortlist, not a brochure. We look at your marks, your budget and where you want to be in five years, in that order.

01 — Why Global Path
Four things we commit to in writing.
Not adjectives. Each of these is something you can hold us to, and something you can ask any other consultancy to match.
01
One counsellor, start to visa
You get a name and a direct number on day one, and the same person is still on your file the week you fly. No handover to a "documentation team" once you have paid.
02
A shortlist built to survive a rejection
Every shortlist is split into reach, match and safe options, and we say plainly which is which. A list of eight dream universities is not a strategy.
03
Total cost quoted before you pay
Tuition, living costs, test and application fees, visa, flights and first-month setup — written down and added up before you commit to a country, not after.
04
We fill the visa form with you
Sitting together, on your screen, in your words. It is your declaration and your signature; an agent filling it for you is how avoidable refusals happen.
02 — What we do
Eight services, one file.
Everything below sits on the same student file, handled by the same counsellor. You can take one piece or all eight. Test preparation has a section of its own, further down.
Country & University Selection
We match programmes to your profile and your budget, and we tell you plainly when a university is out of reach.
Ask about this — Country & University SelectionApplication & Admission
Statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, transcripts and portal submissions — drafted with you, checked twice, tracked to decision.
Ask about this — Application & AdmissionScholarships
We identify the scholarships you are actually eligible for, and help with the essays. We do not promise amounts, because nobody can.
Ask about this — ScholarshipsInternships
Help finding internships and co-op placements before you leave, and understanding what your visa permits once you arrive.
Ask about this — InternshipsEducation Loan
We prepare your loan file and introduce you to lenders. Sanction, rate and amount are the lender's decision, never ours.
Ask about this — Education LoanVisa Processing
A country-specific checklist, a financial-documents review, and mock interviews. We fill the form with you, sitting together, not for you.
Ask about this — Visa ProcessingAllied Services
Accommodation, forex, travel insurance, SIM cards and airport pickup — the things that go wrong in the first week if nobody arranges them.
Ask about this — Allied Services03 — How it works
Five steps, about eight months.
Every step below tells you what you need to bring and roughly when it happens. Timelines shift with your intake, but the order never does.
-
Profile & research
A free call, then a written shortlist split into reach, match and safe, with the total cost of each option beside it.
- You will need
- Marksheets from Class 10 onwards, your CV, passport if you have one.
- Typical timing
- Week 1–3
-
Test preparation
A diagnostic test sets the target and the plan. You book the real test only once the mocks say you are ready.
- You will need
- Diagnostic score, ID for the test booking.
- Typical timing
- Week 3–12
-
Apply & admit
Statement of purpose drafted with you, recommendations coordinated, portals submitted and tracked to decision.
- You will need
- Transcripts, degree certificates, two recommendation letters, SOP, test scorecard, passport.
- Typical timing
- Week 10–20
-
Visa & finance
Loan file first, because the sanction letter is a dependency for the visa. Then documents, form, mock interview, appointment.
- You will need
- Offer letter, loan sanction, bank statements and their source documents, ITR, property papers if collateral applies.
- Typical timing
- Week 18–28
-
Fly
Accommodation, forex, insurance, SIM and a pre-departure briefing — the things that go wrong in week one if nobody arranges them.
- You will need
- Visa, tickets, insurance certificate, accommodation confirmation.
- Typical timing
- Week 26–32
04 — Where you could go
Ten destinations, compared honestly.
Each pass carries the university group that country is known for, how many institutions there are, and the two things you filter on first — the intake month and the IELTS band. Costs are course-specific, so we talk you through those on the call rather than printing a number you cannot hold us to.

06 — In their words
Success stories.
Real reviews, published with written consent, replace these as soon as they are collected.
From my first consultation to the day I landed in the US, the team made a stressful process feel completely manageable. I couldn't have done it without their guidance.
They helped me shortlist universities that actually fit my profile instead of just the popular names. My visa was approved on the first try.
The application essays felt impossible until I got help refining my story. I got offers from three universities I never thought I'd qualify for.
Every deadline, every document, every form — they tracked it all so I didn't have to panic. The UK dream became real faster than I expected.
They were honest with me about my chances and helped me build a backup plan too. That honesty is what got me into the right program.
The post-arrival support was the real surprise — help with housing, banking, even my first grocery run. It made settling in so much easier.
I walked in with zero idea where to start. I walked out with an offer letter, a scholarship, and a clear visa timeline.
Their scholarship guidance alone saved my family a significant amount. I genuinely felt like they were on my side the whole way.
Navigating a tuition-free system with German-taught programs sounded intimidating, but they broke it down step by step until it clicked.
From blocked account setup to APS certification, every German-specific requirement was explained clearly. Zero surprises along the way.
Ireland wasn't even on my radar until they suggested it based on my career goals. Best recommendation I could've gotten.
The post-study work visa guidance made my decision easy. I felt fully prepared before I ever boarded the flight.
They matched me with a course and city that actually suited my lifestyle, not just my grades. It made all the difference.
I appreciated how patiently they answered every question, even the ones I asked three times. Truly a stress-free experience.
Singapore's application timelines are tight, but they kept everything organized so I never missed a single deadline.
Their network of alumni contacts gave me real insight into student life before I even arrived. Invaluable preparation.
Between the language requirements and the paperwork, France felt daunting. They simplified every single step for me.
I loved that they didn't just help with admissions — they helped me understand French campus culture before I got there.
Their English-taught programs shortlisted saved me weeks of research. I found the perfect fit within days.
Housing in the Netherlands is famously competitive, but they connected me with options before I'd even landed. Huge relief.
Refer & earn
Invite a friend,
earn ₹25,000.
₹25,000 flat, per successful referral
Most of our students arrive through someone who has already been through it. Send us a friend, and when they enrol in a paid service you get ₹25,000 — the same amount whichever country or service they choose.
Start referringTwo minutes. We call them, not you.
- Step 01 You introduce them
- Step 02 They enrol in a paid service
- Step 03 You are paid ₹25,000
A free consultation on its own does not trigger the payout — the referred student has to enrol in a paid service. There is no cap on how many people you refer.
07 — Who you would be working with
A small team that answers the phone.
Global Path Overseas advises Indian students on studying abroad — where to apply, what it will cost, and how to get through the visa. We are deliberately small. Every student gets a named counsellor rather than a queue, and that counsellor stays on the file until the departure date.
Most of what we do is unglamorous: checking a transcript against an entry requirement, spotting that a bank statement has an unexplained deposit in it, pushing a recommendation letter that has been sitting with a professor for three weeks. That work is the difference between an offer and a rejection, and it is not something a portal can do for you.
Before you shortlist a university, ask what happens after your visa is approved — not just before it. And ask any consultant this: what happens to my file if I do not take the service you are pushing?

08 — A message from our founder
Your global education journey starts with the right guidance.
Studying abroad is more than getting an admission — it is a decision that can shape your education, career and future.
At Global Path Overseas, we believe every student deserves personalised guidance based on their academic profile, career aspirations, budget and long-term goals.
Our mission is simple: to make overseas education more transparent, accessible and student-focused.
From choosing the right course and university to applications, scholarships, documentation, visa guidance and pre-departure support, our team stands beside students and their families at every stage of the journey.
We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We believe in understanding the student first, providing honest advice and helping them make decisions with confidence.
Your ambition is unique. Your journey should be too.
Welcome to Global Path Overseas — where we don't just help students go abroad, we help them move towards a better future.
09 — Questions
The things parents ask first.
If yours is not here, send it — the contact form below reaches a counsellor, not a queue.
Application
Twelve to fifteen months before the intake you want. That gives you time to sit a language test, retake it if the score is short, gather transcripts and letters, and still make the early deadlines where most funding is decided. Starting six months out is possible; it just removes your options.
Between five and eight, split across reach, match and safe options. Fewer than five leaves you exposed to a single rejection. More than eight usually means the shortlist was never narrowed properly, and the applications get thinner as the list gets longer.
No. We run drafting sessions, ask the questions that surface your actual reasons, and edit what you write. Universities read thousands of these and an SOP written by somebody else reads like one. It is also grounds for withdrawal of an offer.
Marksheets and degree certificates for everything after Class 10, your passport, a CV, and your language test score if you have one. Letters of recommendation and the statement of purpose come later, once the shortlist is fixed.
We look at why. Usually it is one fixable thing — a test score, an unexplained gap, or a shortlist aimed too high. Most students in that position apply successfully to the next intake rather than the next year.
Visa
No, and neither can anyone else. A student visa is a government decision. What we can do is make sure your file is complete, your finances are documented the way the consulate expects, and you have practised the interview.
It varies by country and by season, from around two weeks to around three months. The queue is longest immediately before a major intake, which is the main argument for applying early.
Each country sets its own figure, usually one year of tuition plus one year of living costs, held for a minimum period before you apply. We give you the current number for your destination and check your documents against it before you book an appointment.
It has to be declared, and hiding it is far more damaging than the refusal itself. A refusal is not automatically fatal — what matters is whether the reason for it has been addressed.
In most destinations, yes, on a visitor visa. Rules on dependants who live with you are much tighter and several countries have restricted them recently, so this needs checking for your specific course and country.
Finance
Tuition plus living costs plus one-off costs — test fees, application fees, visa fees, flights, insurance and initial setup. Tuition and living costs vary far too much by city and course to be worth quoting as a single figure, so we work them out against your actual shortlist on the first call. Budget separately for the one-off costs, which typically run into a few lakh rupees.
The first consultation is free and there is no obligation after it. Any fee for later services is quoted in writing, in full, before you pay anything.
Several lenders offer unsecured loans up to a limit that depends on the university, the course and your co-applicant's income. Above that limit, collateral is usually required. We prepare the file; the lender decides.
We will not put a number on that, because it depends entirely on your profile and the university. What we will do is find every scholarship you are eligible for and help you apply before the deadlines.
Most student visas permit part-time work during term and full-time during vacations, with a weekly hour cap. Treat it as help with living costs, not as a way to fund tuition — no visa office accepts part-time earnings as proof of funds.
Tests
Check what your shortlisted universities and the destination's visa rules accept first, then pick. IELTS is accepted almost everywhere. PTE returns results fastest. TOEFL suits students who prefer typing to handwriting.
Most universities ask for IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, but the visa authority may set its own floor and some courses set higher ones. We check both numbers against your shortlist before you book the test.
Fewer programmes require them each year. For US masters in engineering and computer science the GRE still helps; for competitive MBA programmes the GMAT still matters. We check programme by programme rather than assuming.
Six to ten weeks of consistent work for IELTS, PTE or TOEFL if your English is already strong. Twelve to sixteen weeks for the GRE or GMAT. We start with a diagnostic test so the plan matches where you actually are.
Yes, and it is common. Universities usually take your best sitting. Book the retake far enough before your deadline that the result arrives in time — that is the mistake we see most often.
