From the time I enrolled in ILW Overseas Education for study abroad counselling, I have left the entire process in the hands of Vishal sir, Hafeezan and Neha ma’am. From university selection to visa, I did the minimum grunt work as all the processes were clearly outlined and ILW Overseas Education offered me boutique service and I am delighted with the result as I wanted to study at Newcastle. Thank you Vishal sir!
