Student stories
In their own words.
What students who worked with BaharChalo said about the process.
Genuine people, genuine company — been there 4-5 times by myself. Also taken services for my brother (study abroad). If you are planning for Italy or Germany, give it a shot.
He made my entire study abroad application and onboarding process completely stress-free. He was always quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and reassured me every step of the way with the documentation. I couldn't have done it without his amazing guidance. Thank you so much!
My experience with BaharChalo has been outstanding. The team guided me at every stage of my application process, from choosing the right university to preparing my documents. Their counselors were professional, supportive, and always quick to respond to my queries. I especially appreciated their personalized approach — they didn't just give generic advice, but actually helped me based on my goals and profile. I was able to secure admission to my dream university. Highly recommended for anyone planning to study abroad.
I had a great experience with BaharChalo. The team is very supportive and guides you step by step throughout the process. They helped me understand my options clearly and made everything much easier. Highly recommended for anyone looking for proper guidance in education and career planning.

Parents’ corner
Planning together? Answers for parents.
Most families decide this together. Here is what parents usually ask us first.
Tuition and living expenses
We look at both together: tuition plus rent, food, travel, insurance and visa costs, for the whole course. Our comparison and country guides show typical figures with sources.
How university payments work
Universities set their own fees, deposits and deadlines. Their offer letter or applicant portal explains how and when to pay. We help you read it and check the amounts before you pay.
What is free, and what may be paid
The first consultation is free, with no obligation. If you want our help with applications, visas or other steps afterwards, we explain any fees before you decide.
Accommodation and arrival
We help with housing options and travel arrangements before departure, give a pre-departure briefing, and stay a point of contact back home for the first few months.
Who handles your child’s case
Counselling is personal and one-on-one, led by founder Akash Dubey, by call, video or WhatsApp. You are welcome to join the calls.
Cancellations and refunds

Questions
Frequently asked.
How do I get started?
Fill in the short two-step form at the top of this page, or call or message us on WhatsApp. We start with a free, no-obligation conversation about your academic background, budget, target intake and career goals, and from there we look at which destinations and courses genuinely make sense for you.
Is the first consultation free? What costs money?
The first consultation is free and you are under no obligation to continue. If you then want our help with applications, visas or other steps, we explain any fees before you decide.
Which countries can you help me apply to?
We currently guide students into the UK, USA, Germany, Italy, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, along with other English-taught programmes across the rest of Europe. Each country has different visa rules, tuition costs, intake calendars and post-study work options. Tell us your field of study, budget and priorities (cost, work rights, safety, climate) and we'll narrow it down to the destinations that actually fit you, rather than pushing whichever one is easiest to sell.
Do you help with scholarships and education loans?
Yes. We help you identify merit-based scholarships, university-specific grants and assistantship opportunities you may be eligible for, and we guide you through the paperwork for education loans, including documents banks typically ask for, such as admission letters, collateral papers and co-applicant details. We also help you build a realistic cost-of-study budget upfront. Scholarships are awarded by universities and funders, so no one can guarantee one.
Do you handle the visa process too?
Yes. That includes reviewing your financial documents, helping you complete the visa application correctly, preparing supporting paperwork (offer letter, proof of funds, academic transcripts) and running mock interviews where the destination requires one. Visa decisions are made by each country's immigration authority.
What documents do I need to get started?
None for the first conversation. Later, we typically ask for your academic transcripts and certificates, a valid passport, English proficiency scores if you have them (IELTS/TOEFL/PTE), your resume, and a rough idea of your budget. You don't need everything ready on day one; we'll tell you exactly what's missing and by when, once we know which universities you're targeting. The website form never asks for documents.
How long does the whole process take?
It varies by destination and intake, but as a rough guide: shortlisting and applications typically take 4–8 weeks, university decisions can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months depending on the institution, and visa processing timelines are set by each country's immigration authority. We always work backward from your target intake so you're not rushing paperwork at the last minute.
What happens after I land abroad?
We stay reachable for pre-departure questions right up to your flight, and continue to be a point of contact through your first few months of settling in, whether that's opening a bank account, understanding your visa conditions, or just figuring out where things are.
How do you handle my personal information?
The form collects only what you choose to share: your study level, budget range, destination, preferred start, name, WhatsApp or phone number, and optionally your email and a message. It is stored with our website host (Netlify) and copied to our private Google Sheet so we can reply. We use it to contact you about your enquiry and to guide your application. We don't sell it, and we don't share it with anyone outside the universities, banks or visa bodies directly involved in your own application. Google Analytics measures visits and button clicks on this site without your name, number, email or message. If you'd like your details removed at any point, message us on WhatsApp or email akash@baharchalo.com and we'll take care of it.
