IVY Overseas is an India-based overseas education consulting agency founded in 2011. According to its website, it has served 22.5K+ students, covers 10+ countries and 400+ universities, and operates 8 offices across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It is not a university, embassy, or immigration agency, but a service provider that helps students with study-abroad planning, applications, and visa preparation.
Its services are positioned as “360° study abroad solutions”: free one-on-one counselling, university and program shortlisting, application submission, scholarship and financial information, visa preparation, pre-departure briefings, and more. On the training side, the website mentions preparation for IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo, GRE, DSAT, German, and other exams, but does not disclose specific class formats, course hours, instructor lists, or whether classes are live or recorded. Its information on academic fields is relatively detailed, covering engineering, IT/computer science, business and finance, management, health sciences and pharmacy, design, media, fashion, and more.
The agency highlights its AIRC membership, ICEF certification, and professionally certified counsellors, which are positive signals for compliance and international recruitment ethics in the study-abroad consulting sector. In terms of management, both co-founders are described as having 17 years of relevant experience; one is said to have a master’s background in human resource management as well as certifications related to IIM Bangalore and HEC Paris. Overall, the agency provides a fairly complete picture of its background.
The website prominently promotes “Book Free Counselling,” but official service fees, training fees, and application package prices are not publicly listed. It only states that any applicable service fees will be communicated separately. The refund policy is relatively clear: refunds can be requested before processing or training has begun; a 100% refund is available within 5 business days, 50% within 5–20 business days, and no refund after 30 days, with GST/taxes applying. Pricing transparency is the main weakness.
Its strengths include a complete service process, broad destination coverage, a physical branch network, and relatively strong advisor support, along with several displayed admission and scholarship cases. The drawbacks are opaque pricing, marketing figures such as success rates that lack third-party verification, and terms that explicitly state there is no guarantee of admission, visa approval, scholarships, or employment. It is best suited to local Indian students—especially those around Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh—who want end-to-end support from university selection through visa preparation for undergraduate or master’s applications.
The website does not specify accessibility from mainland China, payment methods, or Chinese-language support, so its China access assessment is unknown. For Chinese students, localized support may be limited unless the goal is to use English-language remote counselling. Comparable options include IDP, SI-UK, AECC Global, ApplyBoard, as well as China-based study-abroad agencies such as New Oriental Vision Overseas, EIC Education, and JJL Overseas Education.
