Why ₹5,000 — not ₹500, not ₹50,000
₹5,000 is what it honestly costs to handle one case properly — one counsellor’s time across eligibility, shortlisting, document recovery, admission paperwork, and monthly follow-through for 18–30 months. Consultancies that charge ₹500 cut corners that cost you more later (wrong university, missed approval window, certificate that doesn’t clear BGV). Consultancies that charge ₹50,000 are either charging a commission twice or selling a promise they can’t keep. Our number sits where the honest work sits.

University fees (paid directly to the university, not to us)
University fees vary substantially by which university, which programme, which elective, and which discounts you qualify for. Across our 5 partner universities, the band looks roughly like this:
- Most affordable: IGNOU at ₹6k–₹12k / year (used for credit-transfer pathways), and Yenepoya Online at ₹22k–₹25k / year flat across all electives.
- Mid-tier: Jain Online ₹40k–₹80k / year and Amrita Online ₹35k–₹70k / year, depending on elective.
- Premium: Amity Online ₹38k–₹1.65 Lakh / year, depending on programme and specialisation tier.
The exact number for your specific programme + elective + eligible discounts goes in your free 48-hour pathway report. We check current-session UGC-DEB approval for every recommendation before any fee is collected.

- Referral bonus: ₹1,000 credit when a referred friend enrols. One-time per referral.
- Sibling discount: second family member pays ₹4,000 service fee instead of ₹5,000. One per family per year.
