Study-abroad Consultants
There are two types of study abroad consultants you come across:
1) Commission based agents who have B grade tie-up universities and who market themselves through newspaper ads, seminars or telemarketing. Beware of them.
2) Genuine study-abroad consultants who are very few in number and operate only on word of mouth. Always take some references of some past students before you approach them. We are not professional consultants and hence restrict ourselves only to test prep but we do guide our students regarding various aspects of applications based on our knowledge and our interaction with our ex-students including Masters v/s MBA, pros and cons of India v/s Asia v/s US v/s Europe, profile evaluation, when, where, how to apply, etc. We also help students with a list of genuine studyabroad consultants so that they can approach them easily.

Students generally have a myth that personal training gives them an extra edge as it will be more focused but actually its the other way round.
4 Golden Tips...
But for those who havent been exposed to any kind of entrance training earlier definitely should not take any chance. They certainly miss the important concepts, shortcuts, smarter approaches, regularity, interaction with other GMAT students etc. which can happen only in a classroom ambiance. Not scoring on GMAT for the first time not only makes you spend 250$ again but also makes you waste a lot of time again. Moreover it also shakes your self belief. And all this is definitely not worth saving a few grands. You might as well finish it off once and for all by preparing in style and not leave any stone unturned.
A lot of students who claim to manage GMAT on their own forget that they dont have to manage it but have to excel at it.
The cost of GMAT training is not even 1/100th of the total cost of your MBA/masters.
Some one charging lesser doesnt make him/her a better trainer. If studying on own from the books were enough, then there wouldnt be any concept of GMAT training. Dont take chances with your scores. An authentic GMAT training can only upgrade your scores.
Make sure that not only the concepts are in place, but also the over all planning reg the material, practice, approach, mock tests, analysis, booking the exam date etc. is impeccable.
Hence we have uploaded a list of more than 150 students, along with their scores & email ids, so that you may have a reference check with few of them before you proceed. As a lot of these students are second timers, we have also mentioned their earlier trainers with whom they dint have a pleasant experience. You may check the authenticity of these email ids of copy-pasting them to view the facebook profile of that particular student. We are the only GMAT prep center in India to do so to maintain utmost transparency. 1) Randomly email 20-30 students and ask them about their experience & value addition with us. 2) Attend demo/trial GMAT sessions at any of our centers so that before enrolling, you exactly know what you are paying for. Prior registration required. We generally recommend students to follow the above two steps with all the GMAT test prep companies that they have shortlisted. You cannot go wrong with this sensible and logical way of reference check.

4 : Dont be hasty
Just because you wake up late, that doesnt mean you ll be hasty in taking the exam date or applying for b-schools. Just because you want to meet the deadlines, that doesnt mean that you will take chances with your GMAT scores or the quality of your college. Remember that the brand of a particular college is going to remain with you for the next 40 years of your life. Its still makes sense even if you have to defer your applications by one year in order to get quality education.
Give adequate time to you GMAT prep and take the exam only if you are confident enough to get the deserving and desired score. Give sufficient time to your essays, LoRs and other documentation in order to make your entire application as strong as possible.
Our course includes not only the concepts, shortcuts, approach and practice but also regularity, direction and guidance regarding which topic to prepare from which book, which books to start with, which books to end with, which tests to take, when to take them, suitable time to appear for the exam and other imp things related to the exam and applications.
Our comments on the above mentioned aspects of training eliminate any scope of confusion and frustration among students, bring a lot of convenience and clarity in the training process and make sure that the prep is going in the right direction.
