What makes us the best

Why choose us over
other consultancies?

Seven differences. Put us side by side with anyone — the decision makes itself.

Most consultancies

  • Partnered with 2–3 colleges that pay them best
  • Steer you to whoever pays the highest commission
  • "Don't worry, you'll definitely get in!"
  • Disappear once the offer letter arrives
  • "We'll update you" — no visibility into your own application
  • Group IELTS batches at fixed timings, often paid
  • Service charges & hidden fees at every step

How We Work

Our process

Personalised guidance at every step — from course & university shortlisting to your admission in hand. Most agents apply to one university and hope. We do the opposite.

Discuss & shortlist

You share your dream courses and universities. We add our honest suggestions and build the final list together.

Apply to many, not one

We apply to every university we sensibly can — the more strong applications, the more offers you get.

Collect your offers

The offers come back. Now you are not hoping for one — you are holding several, in your hand.

Choose the best offer

We help you weigh every offer — fees, scholarship, ranking, city — and accept the right one with full confidence.

Alumni as mentors once you land

Our alumni, now working in Ireland, mentor you after you arrive. You become part of our community.

Studying something not listed here? There are 1,500+ programs in total — and we will tell you which universities offer it, and whether you will get in.

PhD applications — we don't guide these. Research admissions work supervisor-first and deserve a different kind of partner. We'd rather tell you that upfront than take your file.

"Should I wait for my IELTS score before applying?"
No — and waiting costs you scholarships.

Universities issue a conditional offer based on your academics alone.

2

Take IELTS while you wait

Your application processes in parallel. Zero time wasted.

3

Convert to unconditional

Submit your score, and your seat is confirmed.

Free 1-on-1 IELTS coaching — online, scheduled around your college or job. No batches, no group classes. Just you and your trainer. This is included for students who join us for their Ireland admission — it is not provided for other students.

The Real Cost

What a Masters in Ireland
actually costs.

Most consultancies hide this till the end. We would rather you know everything on day one — in rupees, with nothing left out.

Tuition for the full Masters
Rs. 12L – Rs. 35L depends on university & course
85% of our students got Rs. 1.5L+ scholarships. We negotiate this for you — it is part of what we do.
Living funds to plan for
Rs. 12L Studying in Dublin
Rs. 10L Any other county
Keep these funds ready and untouched through your application process — they are separate from what you spend. Modest living can cost from about Rs. 8L a year, depending on your city and lifestyle.
Education loan
Up to 70% of your total cost can be covered
Plan for 30–35% of the total to come from your own funds. An education loan can cover the rest — tuition and living costs together. We work with 13 banking partners and help you compare them.
One-time extras
Rs. 70,000 – Rs. 85,000 approx, all of it together
Flight to Dublin Rs. 35,000–Rs. 45,000 (cheaper the earlier you book) · Insurance €120 · Other one-time charges around Rs. 19,000 · University application fees are waived at most of our partners when you apply through us. A few high-demand ones charge €35–€70.

Part-time work: the honest version

  • 20 hrs/week during term
  • 40 hrs/week during holidays
  • €13.50/hr minimum wage

Working legally as an international student helps a great deal with living costs. It will not pay your tuition, and we will never tell you it does.

Two of our recent students — different budgets, different choices, both in Ireland right now. This is what their families actually planned for.

MSc Data Analytics · National College of Ireland, Dublin. Father runs a textile shop in Erode. One clear rule: keep the loan small.

Tuition (year)Rs. 13.5L
Scholarship we negotiated– Rs. 1.8L
Living funds kept readyRs. 10L
Flight, insurance & one-time costsRs. 72,000
Family planned forRs. 18.2L
How they arranged it
Rs. 11.3L education loan (SBI, secured)Rs. 6.9L family funds
Where he is now: working part-time in Dublin, covering his own living costs. The loan covers tuition; the family funds stayed mostly untouched.

MSc Computer Science · Trinity College Dublin. Both parents are doctors in Coimbatore. They wanted the highest-ranked option he got into.

Tuition (year)Rs. 25L
Scholarship we negotiated– Rs. 2.5L
Living funds kept readyRs. 12L
Flight, insurance & one-time costsRs. 80,000
Family planned forRs. 35.3L
How they arranged it
Rs. 16L education loan (Credila)Rs. 19.3L family funds
Where he is now: graduated from Trinity, now working at a Dublin tech firm. The Trinity name mattered to this family — and it paid off.

Two different families, two different budgets — both made it work with a clear plan. Yours can too. The first step is knowing your numbers.

Numbers above use €1 = Rs. 100 for easy reading. We will give you exact figures for your course, city and year in writing.

Education loan? We arrange that too.

13 banking partners. We sit with your parents, compare the offers, and handle the paperwork till sanction — free.

ICICI Bank education loan
Axis Bank education loan

A Word With Parents

Your child's future is not a file number to us.

We know what this decision means for a family. The savings involved, the worry, the pride. That is why we work the way we do — everything explained till you are fully satisfied, in Tamil if that is what feels right.

You sit in every key discussionUniversity selection, money matters, timelines — parents are in the room, not outside it.
Updates at every stageApplication, offer, travel — you will always know exactly where things stand.
With you till they landWe stay with your family from the first call until your child lands in Ireland, settles in, and is connected with our seniors there.

Ask Us Anything

Have a question? Ask our Ireland experts directly.

Any doubt — money, marks, courses, safety, anything.

Questions Families Ask

Everything parents and students
ask us — answered straight.

It's entirely your choice. Everything — questions, strategy calls, shortlisting, applications — can happen over WhatsApp, phone and video call, and many students prefer to start that way. Equally, our Chennai and Coimbatore offices are open Mon–Sat, and families often find one sit-down clears more doubts than a dozen calls. The one step we always insist on: before your application is submitted, you speak directly with our senior admissions experts — in person or on a call — so you apply with 100% confidence, never half-sure.

No — nothing, at any stage. Universities pay us a standard partner fee for every admission, and because we partner with all the top Irish universities and colleges, we're paid roughly the same wherever you enrol. That's what keeps our advice neutral.

We work with 13 banking partners — SBI, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Credila, Avanse, Auxilo, Leap Finance, IDFC First Bank, Bank of Baroda, PNB, Union Bank of India, Tata Capital and Yes Bank. We sit with your parents to compare interest rates and collateral vs non-collateral options, prepare the exact document set each lender asks for, and stay with the file until sanction. Most of our families secure sanction letters within 2–3 weeks.

Masters tuition runs Rs. 12L–Rs. 35L for the year, depending on the university and the course. A student actually spends Rs. 8L–Rs. 10L a year living there. Plan for living funds too — around Rs. 12L for Dublin, Rs. 10L for any other county — and most of the tuition is paid before you travel. 85% of our students get a scholarship of Rs. 1.5L or more, an education loan can cover up to 70%, and part-time work helps with living costs but will not pay tuition. Our cost section on this page has the honest rupee picture.

Yes — 20 hours per week during term and 40 hours per week during holidays, legally, as an international student in Ireland. At Ireland's minimum wage this typically covers a large share of living expenses.

Ireland gives Masters graduates the option to stay back for up to two years and build their career there. The country hosts the European headquarters of Google, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Intel and Pfizer, so graduates in tech, data, pharma, finance and business are in real demand. Many of our own students moved into full-time roles within months of finishing — you can see where they work now in the students section on this page. For families thinking long term, Ireland offers one of the most stable and rewarding futures in Europe.

Ireland ranks among the safest countries globally, and the Indian community there is large and growing — with strong Indian student networks in Dublin and Cork. We connect every new student with SDOC seniors in their city before they fly.

A longer stay-back than the UK, lower tuition than most UK universities, a strong long-term future in Europe, and the European headquarters of Google, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Intel and Pfizer — all in the EU's only English-speaking country. For long-term career outcomes, Ireland is hard to beat.

We submit applications through university portals the same day your documents are ready. Offers typically arrive in 2–4 weeks, and the full journey from application to joining your university takes 3–4 months — which is why starting early means better scholarship odds.

Start with one honest conversation.

No pressure, no fees, no false promises. Speak with a senior counsellor, understand your real options, and decide with a clear head. Nothing gets applied until you have spoken with our senior admissions experts and you are 100% sure.
