How do I get started with GradMate?+
Book a free consultation via the form, WhatsApp or call. We'll assess your profile within 24 hours and share a personalised country/course/university shortlist.
What are your service charges?+
Initial counselling is completely free. Our service fee depends on the destination and package — we're transparent, and 100% refundable if visa is refused for reasons attributable to us.
Can I study abroad without IELTS?+
Yes — many of our UK, Canadian and European partner universities accept MOI (Medium of Instruction) letters, PTE, Duolingo or an internal English test.
Which country has the best post-study work rights?+
Canada (up to 3 years PGWP), UK (2-year Graduate Route, 3 for PhD), and USA (12 months OPT + 24-month STEM extension) currently lead.
How long does the entire process take?+
From first counselling to visa in hand, most students take 3–6 months. Applying early for your intake gives the best scholarship access.
Do you assist with education loans?+
Yes. We work with HDFC Credila, Avanse, ICICI, Axis, Prodigy Finance, MPOWER and others. Both collateral and non-collateral options are available.
Can my spouse or family come with me?+
Yes — for most UK PhD programmes, USA F-1 spouse (F-2), Canada, Ireland and Australia programmes dependents are permitted. We handle full dependent visa support.
What if my visa gets rejected?+
We conduct a thorough re-analysis, address refusal reasons, and re-file. Our first-attempt approval rate is above 96%.
