  • 1/5 Juhi A. 2 years ago on Google
    HONEST REVIEW: I believe every student has the right to choose a service that they feel is worth their hard earned money and this one is definitely not one such. Please save yourself the trouble and don't vest your money in extortionists like these! They charge you 50000₹ but don't even have the audacity to provide basic services and still claim to be the pioneers in overseas education consultancy SERVICE : They provided an absolute rubbish draft for my SOP, 1 day before my submission (even after multiple requests day and night and providing the initial drafts from my end well ahead of the time line) and I had to keep running behind them, literally begging to help me out even after paying the full amount! Finally I had to prepare the draft all by myself as their councillors are neither competent nor experienced, and received no help, instead they put me in a terrible situation at the very last moment STAFF : They have a huge inflow of students due to which they DO NOT HAVE TIME for one student and they have a chatbox system wherein the students can ask basic to serious doubts in the chatbox and the staff will only respond as per their own convenience (which might vary from days to weeks). When confronted, the staff will call and play the blame game saying we don't have time for one student as they have thousands of applications. VALUE FOR MONEY: To be honest, I think it is better to get help from your friends/seniors or any other decent consultancy than wasting your hard earned money on opportunists like these. The chatbox module system is absolute waste of time and money and the staff is too rude to even listen to you, let alone any help. I AM WRITING THIS REVIEW AFTER 8 MONTHS OF AVAILING THEIR SERVICES AND I HOPE NOBODY ELSE SUFFERS. I ideated/drafted/refined almost everything on my own because I didn't feel the quality of the consultancy was up to the mark given they have hundreds of students to look after during the peak admission cycle.

    Very unbiased and real opinion. Save yourself the money waste and mental anxiety that comes from going with these guys. Counselors: Each and every counselor is sub par. None of them were helpful and were EXTREMELY rude and would not listen to anything the student had to say. 2 counselors literally shouted on the phone and this has been experienced by 4 more friends who took their service. Quality of materials: same material (LORS SOPS) being recycled over and over again. 4 or 5 of my friends all had the same language for their application materials. The counselors contribution in the SOP was minimal and most of the work was done by me. Her main contribution was adding transition sentences for each para So around 4 to 5 sentences in a 1000 word essay. Do not waste your money. The mental anxiety that comes with the guys specially during such a critical phase is really not worth it.

    Collegepond counselors are unquestionably worth for guiding and planning your higher education as they have a detailed knowledge of the programs and have an enormous network of universities with best-ranked universities around the world. I would like to thank Mr. Jimeet Sanghvi and his team for their excellent guidance, support, and prompt service. They are very professional and extremely nice to work with. I am so glad to get admits from reputed universities through them. I would appreciate the efforts that they had put in the process, they guided me right from understanding my career choices to the visa process and thereafter. It was a very pleasant experience. They were very nice to me and made me feel welcome. They were very helpful to me with getting everything done and making me comfortable with the process. The positive approach they had was great. I highly recommend Collegepond and its services.

    Great experience overall. Quick responses always. It's not spoon-feeding which is actually for your own good. They have experts in all different fields required to get you to a good level. Not only to get you into your desired college, but Collegepond also helps you way ahead. I've experienced it first hand and getting help from Jimeet Sir, Juventus and the team even today, after been studying in the US for months. Thank you for everything and hope Collegepond keeps up the good work.

  • 5/5 Khushi G. 1 year ago on Google
    When I was searching for counseling services to help me with my study abroad plans, my sister recommended Collegepond to me. I worked with several counselors throughout the admission process, all of whom were highly skilled and helped me craft my documents. However, my assigned Student Counsellor, Shamika, was exceptional in addressing my concerns and resolving any issues that arose during the process. Her responsiveness was unparalleled, as she was always available to answer any questions I had. With the help of their guidance, I have been admitted to the graduate program at the University of Southern California and I am eagerly anticipating a positive experience, all thanks to the wonderful Collegepond Team.

  • 5/5 Kshitij L. 10 months ago on Google
    When I decided to embark on this journey, I had begun my abroad study plan much later than anticipated, and the thought of managing it alongside my final year of bachelor's degree was overwhelming. However, from the moment I connected with Collegepond their expertise, dedication, and professionalism truly made this daunting endeavour remarkably easy and convenient for me. The counsellors, in particular, went above and beyond in assisting and guiding me through every step of the way. Shamika Ma’am was always approachable and ready to address any concerns or doubts I had. I highly recommend Collegepond to any student aspiring to study abroad. Their unwavering support and personalized approach truly make all the difference.

    I had enrolled with CP, they helped me throughout the journey and more often than not I felt like being a part of bigger community with all the pre departure session. They've been patient throughout the SOP, LOR with nearly 13-15 refinement and I finally got into my dream university with scholarship!

  • 5/5 Sagar M. 2 years ago on Google
    Your future, our priority - the Collegepond motto is not mere words but is reflected in their practice. Being from an engineering background coupled with antithetical work-ex in designing, I had absolutely no idea where I was going with my career. However, Suraj sir read my skill set and suggested me a career pathway - HCI - which turned out to be the missing piece of my career puzzle! Collegepond Coaching helped me boost my score from a base 300 to a solid 312. Then came in the SOP & LOR team - I've got no words for their work - call it phenomenal, exceptional, stunning - nothing could ever describe even 10% of the quality that they provided. This was followed up by the ever-so-daunting admission process. University selection, customized essays, documentations, form filling - tremendous help is required & I got all of it at Collegepond. I chose my universities based on curriculum, location, and return on investment for which I received admits from 4/5 universities. For loans, financials, FOREX, the entire team worked extremely hard and managed to secure me a loan and get my financials visa ready as my financial background wasn't very strong - all things considered! All in all, Collegepond has been a tremendous help throughout the entire process of studying abroad! Cheers!

  • 5/5 Rajesh I. 9 months ago on Google
    In a time when students are overwhelmed with the amount of data and choices available for higher education overseas it is quite easy to get lost in the details and make poor choices. If you are done who struggled with this choice for their children then do what I did - sign up your kid(s) with Collegepond and just leave it to the highly trained consultants in their employ to walk you through the process and do a thorough job of it. We were referred to Collegepond by friends who are extremely satisfied as I am. If I had to use 2 words to describe Collegepond as a company and it’s employees I chose “highly competent”. Right after my very first interaction with one of their consultants, I wrote a check in the spot. This is what you call getting your money’s worth and believe me it does not happen often. Let me add a few words about the founders Jimeet and Suraj with whom I have had the pleasure of interacting in person - they come across as genuine people with your best interests at heart and they speak facts. And you will appreciate this. My daughter got a lot of help in narrowing down the choices of universities based on her interests and career choice. And it doesn’t end there - they also help connect with alumni from universities overseas so your son/daughter gets all the facts to make an informed decision. Need help with advice on Forex, student accommodation, opening a bank account overseas, health insurance, etc??? Well they help you with that too..And they hold seminars that parents and their wards should attend without fail. I can’t recollect the last time I was extremely pleased with my investment like I am with Collegepond. Matters that require knowledge and experience is best left to people who have it - like I did with Collegepond…..I am not sure if this review helps because everyone knows what I just mentioned. Just doing my part as a sincere reciprocity of thanks…

  • 5/5 Buvani P. 9 months ago on Google
    My experience with Collegepond has been nothing short of amazing! From the very beginning, they offered me precise and invaluable guidance every step of the way throughout my application process. Their team of highly skilled counselors, each specialized in different aspects of the application, treated my journey with the utmost priority. Their unwavering support and dedication ensured that I not only met but exceeded my application deadlines. I am truly and deeply grateful for the exceptional help and guidance provided by the Collegepond team. They have played a pivotal role in making my application journey smooth and successful.

  • 4/5 Nikhil R. 10 months ago on Google
    Enrolling with Collegepond has been fruitful. Their timely services and approcable counselors have helped me present the best through my applications. Thanks to my coordinator Shamika and the entire team I had a chance to work with.

  • 5/5 Mithilesh K. 1 year ago on Google
    Had an amazing experience with Collegepond! Special thanks to the loan team (Sameer) for assisting me with getting amazing loan deals and to my SOP counselor (Saraswathy) who was there with me throughout the SOP drafting journey - it wouldn't have been possible to bag an amazing admit without her assistance. All in all, I would highly recommend enrolling with Collegepond.

  • 5/5 Aayush S. 10 months ago on Google
    My overall experience with Collegepond was nothing but Brilliant! The guidance I got was really great as it helped me in everything from entrance tests and university selection to profile building and Visa mock interviews. I would like to give a special thanks to my student coordinator, Shamika ma'am, as she really helped me by listening and clearing all of my doubts throughout the process. I am thankful to all the GRE and TOEFL professors who helped me attain good scores in the tests. I would like to thank all the counsellors - Career Selection, University Selection, LOR, SOP, Resume, Application Form Assistance, for helping me select the right university with my desired field and helping me build a strong profile by drafting effective SOP, LORs, Resume and Personal Statement. I also express my gratitude to Loan, Finance and Visa counsellors for helping me secure a loan, dealing with my finances and conducting mock interviews respectively and clearing all my doubts. Due to Collegepond, I was able to setup a Zolve account and even got a free Sim card. I am also considering taking ISO's plan for student insurance. Finally, I would like to provide my greatest thanks to Jimeet sir as he has helped me in absolutely everything due to his vast knowledge and cleared all my doubts, no matter how silly they were. He was the one who gave me a list of universities based on my field and profile and eventually helped me finalize the right one out of 7 admits. I got to learn a lot from all the Collegepond webinars especially the Pre-departure one where Jimeet sir and Suraj sir explained everything from shopping, cooking and finances to academics and jobs. Thanks a lot to the entire Collegepond team!

  • 5/5 ritika r. 1 year ago on Google
    The best choice I've made so far for sure! Jimeet sir helped me a lot with the counselling and gave me a through roadmap when it came to my career in USA. For a student who had no knowledge about studying abroad, Collegepond guided me throughtout the study abroad process with their easy to use portal/app and and their expert counsellors for counselling , university selecting , documentation ,application and finally helping me secure multiple admits . Once again I would like to thank all the expert counsellors who helped me in the process .

  • 5/5 Isha N. 1 year ago on Google
    I was unsure about which universities to apply to for my studies abroad. I had researched different options online, but I didn't know how to assess their academic quality, reputation, and fit with my interests and goals. That's when I enrolled in Collegpond. They helped me clarify my goals and interests, provided me with valuable insights and advice on different universities, and helped me identify the best universities and programs that aligned with my interests and goals. They also gave me practical tips on how to improve my application materials and increase my chances of acceptance. Thanks to their mentorship, I received several offers from top universities and ultimately chose the one that was the perfect fit for me. I am now confident and excited about my upcoming study abroad experience. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking guidance on pursuing their studies abroad.

  • 5/5 chaitanya p. 11 months ago on Google
    I didn’t know about counselling until my friend who moved abroad for higher studies last year had suggested. Initially, I wasn’t aware of the entire process but due to the weekly seminars and guidance from my counsellor, I understood precisely. The One to One assistance from the counsellor helped me from selecting university to visa assistance. And I’m grateful for the guidance and support Collegepond has provided me throughout my journey.

  • 5/5 Nihar N. 11 months ago on Google
    I was introduced to Collegepond by my friends, who were extremely satisfied with their services, and must I say they were right. Collegepond was an absolute lifesaver when it came to my study abroad application. All counselors were proficient and helped me curate my application for every university. Shamika, my student counselor, was very cooperative and resolved all my issues promptly. Their expertise, guidance, and support were instrumental in making my dream a reality. I have accepted graduate admission at Arizona State University for my master's in computer science, all thanks to the Collegepond team.

  • 5/5 Tanuj V. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Amal A. 2 years ago on Google
    Services are very good. They provide you with everything you need. Dont expect them to spoon-feed you, you also have to take some effort from your side. But overall they have an organized system, and provide all the services.

  • 5/5 Anikait C. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 mukesh k. 2 years ago on Google
    I got help at every stage, from Application to US Visa. I was rejected twice but still was advised for 1 more try, and was approved in my 3rd attempt. Just go for it.

  • 1/5 Eklavya S. 2 years ago on Google
    Extremely poor management and unintelligent staff, they have very limited knowledge of caveats like cpt as part of curriculum, and day 1 cpt. They just organize a bunch of useless sponsored seminars. Better try out yocket or admitkard.
