"To be honest with you, it was the 'best complete assistance' anyone had ever provided, in terms of guidance to me. 'Complete', because you helped me right from the scratch of selecting the best universities to obtaining the visa well within time.”
"I am very thankful to all of you at Education Pathways (India) Pvt. Ltd. (EPI) - Kolkata, in supporting my son, Samyak Srivastava, to apply for admission in University abroad for Postgraduate study. With your support he could finalise the offer to join M. Sc. Management (IB) at The University of Sheffield, UK. All the activities from visa application to departure to UK were very well organised and advised in time. My experiences with the EPI - counsellor of my son, Ms. Susmita Majumdar, have been great; I could interact with her and other members of EPI, as and when required, with full satisfaction. I wish every success to EPI and it will be my pleasure to hear about the progress of EPI."
“Thank you very very much for all your help and all other who have helped me especially Sushmita Di. I am very grateful to you all. I acerbically also mention that Sushmita Di has done her job and my success hence come out of her adeptness. She has been professionally my guidance and personally my sister. I am very honored that I had Sushmita Di to help me every now and then.”
“Susmita Di, impression about you… guy…you are really helpful and always there when needed.”
“Hello Simran, I am very thankful to you for your sincere and kind effort. The way you helped me during the whole application process is highly admired. The purpose of leaving study overseas was the way you treat students, I never found anyone so kind and gentle. I wish everyone should have either you as the guide for application process or someone like you. It is your cooperation because of what I am able to be here. Application process with you never felt like a huge work load and things appeared much more easier than actually it is.”
“Thanks for all your help, Susmita Ma' am! Would never have been possible without you and Mr. Kaushik Mitra! I shall try to meet you once before I leave, if I can find time. Please let me know if you need any help with regard to anything at all while I'm in Manchester! Thanks once again! “
“The service was so personal that it was like going to an elder in the family for advice! I referred EPI to three of my other friends, one of whom has also joined the university along with me.”
“Came to know about EPI from a friend who had used your services, while searching for a good counselor. Met Swetha Kumaravel in October 2011 and discussed about my interest in doing masters in Maritime Law at Southampton. She guided me from the beginning, right from the application process which is overwhelming like the preparation of SOPs, getting the reference letters, CV, etc. till the day I applied for my VISA. She was patience personified with me! She had all the information I needed at her fingertips and always answered my questions in lightening speed. I got a chance to meet the country development manager of my university at the EPI office, which I believe is not possible elsewhere. Consoling me when I was anxious about not receiving the millions of mails that we are supposed to receive before actually coming over here. Friendly, jovial. Best part was she helped me and she was the one saying thanks to me every single time! EPI is lucky to have a person like her to work for them! Thanks a million Swetha and EPI !! “
“It has been 2 years since I meet Swetha (EPI) for my plans on higher studies and approached her to know more. From then the plan postponed and now after 2 years the only contact I had was again EPI. This person was like a single point of contact. Whatever it may be she used to give a detail and clear explanation of the process. I had to concentrate very less of my application to the university as it was all done professionally by EPI. From choosing University till the first day at the university EPI was with me. It is all just incredible. Thanks for being so good to me. You have been an important point in my career.”
