Education Pathways India is an award winning organization having helped thousands of Indian students reach their destination Universities in the UK and Ireland over the past 20 years. Set up in 1999, we specialize in the UK and work in the higher education sector for admissions in all sectors of UG, PG and Research (PhD). We have helped more than 8500 students reach the UK and Ireland and a substantial proportion of these students are placed very highly in the industry, business, media, sports, medicine and politics all over the world.
The UK has been one of the top two primary destinations for Indian students for the last 100 years.
Various other destinations come up and go down but UK has always stood high and is the second biggest overseas destination in the past century after US. The quality of Universities, their high ranks, strong welfare of students and proximity to home makes it an evergreen top choice.
The Indian education system has semblance with the UK system.
The UK has some of the highest ranked institutions in the world like Oxbridge, University of London (LSE, KCL, Queen Mary, SOAS), Edinburgh, Manchester, Bristol, Sheffield, Glasgow, Southampton, Nottingham, Warwick and others which rank amongst the top 100 in the world.
50% of UK Universities rank within the Top 500 in the world which is higher than all countries globally.
A PG degree can be undertaken in one year which saves adequate time and money. A Bachelor’s degree and a PhD takes three years.
Students come to Universities in the UK from more than 130 countries thereby adding a very strong international atmosphere. Students are allowed to work 20 hours per week during their academic tenure.
UK accepts students from Engineering, Architecture, Law, Life Sciences, Medicine and the whole gamut of 3 year degrees like BSc, BCom, BA, BBA, BCA etc. Many countries including USA does not accept students from Indian 3 year degrees.
For Bachelor’s degrees most UK Universities accept students from CBSE, ISC and all other state boards. International qualifications like A Levels and IB are highly accepted.
All UK Universities are accepted globally and students can avail education loans for higher studies in the UK from all banks (public / private) in India.
UK is again strongly opening up for overseas students with a Post Study Work period of an extra 6 months after the course is over. This is to be further extended to about 2 years thus enabling students to stay on and get work experience in the UK.
Although different Universities are better for different subject areas but here is a general list of Universities at various levels:
High Category : Oxford, Cambridge, Manchester, Edinburgh, Sheffield, Warwick, Glasgow, Newcastle, Southampton, Leicester, SOAS, Sussex, Birmingham, Bristol, Nottingham, Kings College London, Queen Mary London, Essex, Strathclyde, Loughborough, Bath.

These days everything with respect to overseas applications is done over emails, telephonic calls, Skype calls with students and parents as well as some counselling sessions and question answer sessions. We shall be in touch round the clock with the students / parents over telephone, emails and personal meetings to complete the process. We pay personal attention to the students needs for admission and accommodation as is evident from the strong testimonials we have achieved over the years.
Most of our senior staff have been trained in the UK and therefore will be able to give you first hand information about higher studies in the UK.
We have offices in certain cities and for other cities our counsellors / coordinators travel regularly and meet students and parents in board rooms of Oberoi / Taj which are convenient and located in the centre of the cities. Generally four to five meetings are required in person during the process of admission and the rest is done over emails, calls and Skype. The meeting sessions are one on one.
This is a special initiative from Education Pathways and we will be in a position to guide students to a great extent in terms of how to go about seeking employment in the UK, who are their potential employers and what exactly one should do under this competitive environment to proceed from a student visa to a work permit after completion of studies. This is normally taken up by Directorial level personnel of our organization.
Education Pathways has HR tie-ups with a few top notch UK based organizations and all students will get a look up by these organisations when they travel to study in the UK / Ireland.
Education Pathways mostly work directly with the UK / Ireland Universities and hence does not charge any fees from students / parents. They are under retainership with several Universities or are official representatives. The services are offered free of cost and the students need to be serious about it for us to go ahead with the applications.
