Grateful to Richard Sir and the entire SIO Team, for making my dream to study in the UK come true. Their endless support and efforts to file applications on time is commendable. From shortlisting colleges to finding scholarships, they helped me every step of the way. They even helped me to fill in my visa application, also to look for accommodation, and connected me with previous students as well. I highly recommend any aspirant to go with SIO, since they have a personal touch and treat every student with utmost sincerity. Cheers to SIO!

Ankit Rai

Arizona State University, USA

I had the most incredible experience working with SIO, all thanks to my counselors Richard Sir and Sonali Ma’am! From the very beginning, they displayed a level of professionalism and dedication that truly set them apart. Right from our initial meeting, Ma’am attentively listened to my aspirations, academic goals, and preferences. They carefully considered all these factors while suggesting suitable study abroad programs. Their knowledge of various destinations and universities was impressive, and they provided me with an extensive range of options. Throughout the application process, Sir and Ma’am offered personalized assistance, ensuring that all my documents were in order, and my applications were submitted well before deadlines. I would suggest anyone looking for a study abroad counselor in Kolkata to ring them and give it a shot for the smoothest and best experience. Thanks a lot SIO.

Abhishek Kumar

Dalhousie University, Canada

Long story alert: My journey began in 2017 when I met Richard Sir, and little did I know how significantly this man would change my life. At that time, I was pursuing my Master’s in Ahmedabad without a solid plan for my future, as Cyber Security was still an emerging term for many. Richard Sir had faith in me and encouraged me to attempt the IELTS exam. He provided guidance, corrected numerous writing pieces, and, to my surprise, I successfully cleared it. Following this achievement, he introduced me to opportunities in Canada, where I could pursue my second master’s and build a career in Cyber Security, given its booming demand in North America. After careful consideration, we decided to apply to Dalhousie University, Canada, ranked among the top 300 universities globally. Throughout the application process, whether it was crafting the Statement of Purpose (SOP), Letters of Recommendation (LOR), Visa Application, or obtaining the offer letter, he stood by me like a rock, guiding me through each challenge. With his unwavering support, I received my offer letter, followed by obtaining a Study Visa in November 2018. I arrived in Canada in December 2018 and successfully graduated in 2020. I graduated during the global struggle with the devastating effects of COVID-19, with employees facing layoffs. However, after numerous job applications, LinkedIn messages, and coffee meet-ups with professionals from different companies, I landed my first job in Canada, where I have been for the last three years. Currently, I am a Permanent Resident of Canada since 2023, and all of this happened because of the ideas and support of this man, who is more like an elder brother to me. For those planning to study abroad, rest assured that this man will be there for you until the end.

Trisha Roy

University of Southampton

I just want to say that Aarti and Richard from SIO went above and beyond to help with everything. Nowadays it is difficult to find very genuine and selfless counselors and this was the best in my experience. Aarti has been extremely proactive with the whole process and every little detail was taken care of at any point of the day. I remember she used to attend calls even late at night and even on weekends for any queries without any hesitation. Both were on top of the whole process throughout. I really appreciate this dedication and wholeheartedness with which Richard, Aarti and the whole SIO team help all their students. I have attended seminars of other counselors as well but they didn't compare in front of SIO. SIO prioritizes the students’ needs over monetary gains. I am really grateful for the amount of help I received. 100/10 would definitely recommend them out of any other counselors out there.
