Guides for Studying Abroad from Nepal

These guides cover the parts of the process that consultancies rarely explain in writing: what the government charges, what consultancies charge, what the real refusal rates are, and when you genuinely need an agent at all.

NOC process

Mandatory for every student going abroad. NPR 2,000, three to seven working days.

Consultancy fees

The most opaque number in the market, and how to get it in writing.

Visa refusal rates

Sourced government figures, set against the success rates consultancies advertise.

Education loan

Reported rates of 9.5 to 16 per cent, with collateral at 60 to 80 per cent of value.

IELTS band requirements

What each destination typically asks for, by course level.

Consultancy vs direct application

When you need an agent, and when you genuinely do not.

Questions

Which guide should I read first?

The NOC guide. It is mandatory for every Nepali student going abroad, it is cheap and quick, and getting the order wrong is one of the most common avoidable delays.
