Clearer Vision On Subject And Stream

With time, you usually know the subjects that you  score well in and enjoy studying, versus those that you dislike. It is therefore essential to make a choice carefully after evaluating your interest and aptitude, which is sometimes not as easy as it seems.

Exploring Future Goals

It’s natural to be fixated on being “successful”. But the first step during your academic journey should be to find out who you are and what you like. Once we together help you find out what you want to do and the impact you want to create, having a long term vision is not difficult.

Novel Career Opportunities

Gone are the days when engineering, medicine, law, and government jobs were where the line was drawn when planning a career. With the advent of technology, the market space has truly opened up, birthing a wide array of new-age career options that are not only interesting but quite lucrative as well

Setting Milestones to Success

Our college mentoring structure provides planning, research, guidance at every step of the way. We not only take up a logical approach to the entire journey, but also focus on emotions and ensure that the student benefits holistically

Profile Gap Audit

With ever-increasing competition, marks are no longer the only criteria to gauge the caliber of a student. Universities across the globe have other parameters that are defining factors for admission. Our Profile Gap Audit exclusively brings attention to a student’s profile and ensures that all necessary aspects of a profile are given importance

Improvement Analysis

Are there some habits or patterns that are blocking your growth? How do we overcome inertia, temper, distractions or any other to become the best versions of ourselves?

Interpreting Family Aspirations

Before we start any research for college preparation, we sit with the family and understand their filters and preferences. What are they expecting in their college list? What are their priorities? Are there any specific locations to target? Such discussions keep us on the same page and ensure a smooth college planning journey forward

Building A Scholarship Pathway

Scholarships have always gained precedence at University Connection as for most families, they are the only way to make studying abroad possible! Find out with your Orange Counselor how you too can get a scholarship!

Student Skill Assessment

Writing, dancing, music, sports, drama, baking or simply being helpful; whatever or whoever be the real you, we as Orange Counselors know that developing your passions is directly linked with being an excellent student

College Planning

The complete applications and admissions process entails more than just filling out forms, taking standardized tests, and asking for recommendation letters. The process involves self-reflection and keeping in mind different factors while creating a college list and more.

Testimonials

University Connection is specifically designed to take your needs into consideration and what kind of box you fit in. So, instead of putting you inside a box, they will restructure the box to fit around you. So, for me, when I first had my call with Charushilla Ma'am, she listened to all of my interests very carefully. She outlined the Liberal Arts programme for me, and she opened an entirely new door for me.

Aashna Bharatiya CAAS 2025, student who went to Krea University, 2025

My counselors helped me throughout the whole process. From identifying the right course for me, the universities which fit my profile, to helping me write and edit endless essays during the application process. They have been very supportive during this time and even kept me positive despite getting many rejections in the early days.

Arsh Gulati 2023 | Masters in Finance, University of Southern California

During college planning, I acknowledged my bias towards believing that only top-ranked universities could advance my career and dreams. I thought that giving my best would guarantee acceptance anywhere. However, I realized the flaw in this mindset. It was essential to focus on improving myself, rather than solely seeking out top-tier schools. By shattering this glass ceiling, I opened myself up to new opportunities and a more holistic approach to achieving my goals.

Sai Wankhede 2023 | Masters in Economics, Finance and Business, University of Bristol

Over the journey with UC, my counselor was not just a counsellor but a therapist, motivational speaker, and friend. No matter how I felt or what was going on with me, she had a solution along with faith in me and believed in me from the very beginning. I do not think I would be in college if it were not for the whole UC Team.

Reyhaan Yadav 2023| Bachelors in Business Economics, Drexel University

Honestly, this journey and even making it to King's wouldn’t have been possible without my counselor. She guided me through some of the most difficult times in my college planning journey. With her able guidance, I was able to firmly make up my mind as to which college is best for me and the steps I need to take so as to make my dream come true.

Sirjan Kaur Bawa 2023 | Bachelors in Psychology, King’s College London

My orange counselor was my biggest mentor. Without her, nothing would be possible. At every step, she corrected me and helped me build my resume and portfolio, waking up till late at night just to help me to complete my tasks on time. With her, I had zero difficulties in my college application process. Because of her, I got into the best study abroad program in the country I always dreamed of studying fine arts and design.

Akshat Rao 2023| Bachelors in Fine Arts- Studio, Marist College

University Connection helped me find myself through the chaos of life and honestly I am not sure if I would've been able to attain a balance in life without this wonderful team. I gained some clarity on what I wanted to do in college and how I wanted to do it, from where I wanted to do it. I got to meet a lot of new people in the process and learn new things in life which was one of the best things that could happen to someone. UC is not only a counselling place for me, it is family.

Shauryaveer Chandwani 2023 | Bachelor of Arts, Kirori Mal College- Delhi University

I really appreciate that my counsellor was always honest with me. My most popular question was always "Do you think I'll get in?" and her reply used to be "Amrita, let's be hopeful." She never gave me false expectations, made sure I know exactly where I am standing, made me aware of my strengths and weaknesses, and encouraged me to do my best and keep my hopes up high. I have made relations that I will forever keep in my heart and I am deeply grateful for that.

Amrita Chopra 2022| Bachelors in Business, McMaster University

My parents and family have been very grateful to the help that was offered to me by the Orange team at every level. This has been a difficult journey for them, given that parents are completely involved with their kids having a secure and successful educational future. However, the Orange Team has ensured in the best way possible, that their help combined with my goals could help me get into the best Universities for my course.

Dhanashree Bonde 2022 | Masters in International Relations, University of Manchester

This has been an extremely enriching journey for me. Among the vast list of universities across countries, it was a great challenge to finally list down the colleges which mattered most to me. College Planning is much bigger than it is thought to be. It requires a lot of time, patience, clarity, efforts, self-evaluation, and definitely tons of research. My bond with UC will always be very special for me!

Siyaa Mittal 2022 | Bachelors in Psychology, Purdue University

I am extremely thankful to UC for helping me realize my dream. I believe the most special thing about UC is that they make everyone feel very special and capable of accomplishing wonders. All my mentors were very encouraging and always ready to help. They understood me really well and therefore, their advice was accurate and always welcome.

Chaitnya Chopra 2021 | Masters in Aerospace Engineering, TU Berlin

My journey with my counselor has been perfect. I've had a wonderful time working with her. She helped me with everything from the start. Everything was organized so well and I had a clear list of tasks that I needed to complete. She was also very patient with me as I was also studying in law school at the time. She was immensely helpful while I wrote my essays and provided a lot of constructive feedback. She also helped me with the training I needed while appearing for TOEFL and the interviews. She also offered adequate encouragement and support when I needed it. It was wonderful working with her.

Nayantara Bora 2021 | Bachelors in Liberal Arts and Sciences, University College Utrecth

My Orange Counselor made my life way easier. They helped me with planning out my months from testing to extracurriculars to helping me gain connections to editing my essays to compiling long lists of colleges to reviewing my applications and just providing general guidance and advice to make this process way easier. They also constantly motivated me and interacted with me and were really easy to reach out to.

Samarth Ghai 2021 |College of Letters and Sciences, UC Berkeley

I am a CBSE student with little experience in writing essays, but my counselor always brought out the best in me and helped me improve with notes and feedbacks. I joined UC with a very firm decision of applying only to Canada but towards the end of the year wanted to apply to India and UK as well. The entire team was extremely supportive, understood the circumstances and helped me with it even though I was late.

Hunnar Narang 2020 | Faculty of Social Science, University of Toronto, Missisauga

"I've had my first session today and I feel a lot of clarity on the methodology of college entrances and the process of getting there. The team is friendly and my career counselor did a wonderful job in helping me discover what I could do in terms of entrances and the requirements to go about it. The process made college and what it entails a lot more easier to approach"

Neelima Kapoor

"My experience at University Connection was a very enriching one. It was actually an eye opener for me to learn about the various universities and their admission process.. I think all students and their parents who wish to study abroad after completing 12th should come here for counselling session. It would give them a very comprehensive and practical method of planning your career."

Mansanjam Singh Bhatia

"The session was extremely helpful. It helped narrow down my focus areas and align my thoughts. It was a very comfortable interaction and all my questions were answered in detail. I gained clarification on a number of doubts. I would definitely recommend University Connection."

Saudamini Marici

"I met the key mentor, Ms. Charushilla, to understand the way ahead with reference to a prospective doctorate program. Loved her energy and the way the session was conducted. Even though it was only the first session, I am walking out with some clarity and confidence that an overseas education may not be as daunting as I had made it out to be in my head. I look forward to the journey ahead."

Soumya Mathur

"I came to university connection because I am struggling to find what i want to do and where i want to do it. I loved how the meeting was very frank and i felt like i could open up. I got an idea of what needs to be done to get into a good college. I somewhat knew what i wanted to do but I had no idea what to do about it, but now i have a plan. I look forward for the coming meetings."

Manav Khurana

"The counselling sessions were worth while and helped paint a clear picture for the future. It really helped clear the path and branch i needed to pursue and helped develop an clearer overview for the subjects and career options that one might pursue with developing a better overlook"

Mauhak Karla

"The experience was great. Maam Charushilla was very analytical and gave a clear picture of what steps I should be taking in order to progress and prosper in my field. The whole staff is so supportive and encouraging. A delightful experience!"

Paulina Marak

"The session was amazing with Charushilla Ma'am. When I came to UC, I was very confused about which stream to choose and I was more inclined in taking Science but after the session, I felt and understood that Commerce might be my cup of tea. Taking Commerce would be a better decision for me as my aptitude if that of Commerce background."

Shubh Sandhu

"Excellent counsellor. We need more guides like Mrs.Bajpai in all schools and colleges in India. Career confusion is a real threat to one’s happiness; relieved to know that such skilled people exist to help us through that. Highly recommended for students and working professionals looking for clarity or change in direction. Thanks for your patience and time."

Kusharga Parasher

"We first got in touch with Charu Sheela ma'am who planned out an entire milestone map for me, discussed how to overcome whatever obstacles I was facing at that time period within the first meeting and was now there for me at every step of my journey. From that day there was new zest and sense of purpose in me. I felt as if I could blindly trust University connections with the whole college admissions process which was so crucial to me. I was then made to get in touch with my mentor Mamta Bhutani ma'am. She has been more worried and focused about my college applications than I have been myself. There hasn't been a single day where she got impatient with me, she's only been a constant source of motivation for me who pushed me till the end to give my best. I'm now done with all my college applications but the credit really goes to Charu ma'am and Mamta ma'am who have been such a great system of support, guidance and motivation for me. I would definitely recommend University connections to every student out there, it's the best decision I've ever made."
