Uniting, the 1-1 chat app connecting aspiring students planning to study abroad with their seniors and alumni

Uniting, the 1-1 chat app connecting aspiring students planning to study abroad with their seniors and alumni

For aspiring students planning to study abroad, making decisions about choice of courses, universities, queries about student life, education loans, visa, curriculum, and post graduation job prospects can be overwhelming. Uniting provides a platform for direct 1-1 communication with seniors and alumni who have studied the same course or at the same university, offering genuine insights and guidance.

Today’s students value authenticity and seek peer-to-peer connections rather than relying solely on corporate marketing. According to the Uniting market survey (2021 – 2022) conducted with 20,000 current students and study abroad aspirants,

  • 9% students felt that overseas education agents lack first-hand experience of studying abroad, so their guidance is not reliable
  • 85% of students felt that they received incorrect program and university recommendations from study abroad agents
  • 97% of students felt more confident about their study abroad journey after speaking with current students or alums.

Other findings of the survey were,

  1. Financial aid & Scholarships
  2. Departments/majors/courses
  3. Location
  4. Career opportunities after graduation
  5. Quality of facility/teaching
  6. Student support services
  7. Sports/clubs/social life
  8. University’s ranking & reputation
  9. University’s values
  10. Influence from family and friends

Uniting is a user-friendly 1-1 chat application similar to WhatsApp that enables personalized communication and connecting aspiring students looking to study abroad with alums or current students through text, audio, and video calls. The  platform addresses the challenge of accessing up-to-date, reliable and accurate information about bachelor’s and master’s programs in preferred universities and countries. Verified mentors, including alums and current students, act as trusted sources, sharing personalized information and authentic student life experiences.

Initially launched for Ireland studies, Uniting has partnered with 100+ seniors and garnered over 6,000 downloads and 4,000 student interactions within two months of the Beta version launch.

After the successful beta launch, Uniting went public by unveiling the new version at an official launch event. Uniting’s Managing Director, Mr. Ilaya Bharathi, expressed his sentiments: “Having my dreams of studying abroad shattered by deceitful information was devastating! I was desperately seeking unbiased guidance and real-time insights that seemed elusive. The online information is often ambiguous, and the study abroad education agents’ advice lacks authenticity as they prioritize commercial interests, viewing aspiring students merely as’ customers.’ I know that countless aspiring students share this experience. That’s precisely why Uniting was created, with the app designed to cater to the needs of this generation. Additionally, Uniting conducted a comprehensive market survey across six states, engaging over 20,000 aspiring students looking to study abroad, further affirming these findings.”

He added “We are expanding our mentor network to cover other countries and aim to serve one million students by the end of 2025. Uniting is committed to empowering students with reliable information and personalized support, ensuring their study abroad journey is fulfilling and successful. Uniting has currently partnered exclusively with the top 200 International schools and 150 private Universities in India.”

Importance of Connecting with a Mentor

One significant finding from the survey highlights students’ concerns regarding making the wrong course or university choice, struggling to fit in on campus, and difficulties in making friends. Considering these factors, Uniting is specifically designed to provide prospective students with a free, safe, and secure platform to connect one-on-one with seniors and alums. Through these interactions, students can receive personalized support, genuine guidance, and authentic mentorship, enabling them to make well-informed study abroad decisions.

Uniting is now available for free download on the Apple App Store and Android Play Store.

UNIABROAD: The Company That Is Helping Indian Students Realise Their International Education Dreams

UNIABROAD: The Company That Is Helping Indian Students Realise Their International Education Dreams

The number of students moving to study abroad has witnessed massive growth over the years. Given the better quality of education, flexible education system and better career prospects, India ranks second when it comes to countries with the greatest number of students studying abroad. In 2019, this number was 800,000 and it is forecasted that the number will increase up to 1.8 million by 2024. There are many Indian students who harbour the dream of studying at a reputed university abroad. However, very few of them get to realize this dream. Simply put, they go through many complications and obstacles in the process.

UNIABROAD is one company that has been working towards making the dream of studying abroad for Indian students come alive. It is not only helping students secure admission to a university of their choice, it is also making all the necessary arrangements to ensure they do not face any issues while studying in a foreign land. UNIABROAD is the brainchild of its founder and CEO Vikas Murulidhara who wanted to create an entity that would offer adequate support to students planning to study abroad.

Talking about the vision behind UNIABROAD, the founder Vikas Murulidhara says, “What makes UNIABROAD different from companies in this segment is that we offer end-to-end support to students who wish to pursue a course of their choice in a foreign university. Apart from helping them get admission to a university and secure their visa, we also take effective measures to ensure that they feel comfortable while adjusting to a new country and university. In a way, we act as their friend, guide and support system during the entire process.”

Whenever a student is about to move abroad for pursuing a course, they seek guidance and advice from people in their vicinity. However, when you are about to do something that is new or different for you, you reach out to people who know the way. What makes UNIABROAD unique is the fact that it is a company designed and managed by alumni of international universities. They were in the same shoes a few years ago and know what you’ve been going through. Therefore, they tell you exactly what you need to do to get the best out of the opportunity you have landed.

Elaborating on the same, the Operational Manager, Tarun Kumar says, “It is quite natural for students to feel a little nervous and confused when they are about to move into a new country. The nervousness, however, will be much lesser if they get the right guidance and have some clarity about what they are getting into. A majority of our destination experts have graduated, worked or stayed abroad. As a result, we can provide students with real-world experiences. We help students realize their dream of studying in universities based in different countries like UK, USA, Ireland, France, Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, Spain, Australia and Dubai. We partner with more than 300 universities offering 100000+ courses.”

One of the things that have drawn a large number of students to UNIABROAD is the fact that the company offers a variety of high-quality services at zero cost. The company has a dedicated platform in the form of UNILEARN that helps students make the necessary preparations to qualify for their language prerequisites and improve their communication skills. This service, like any other service provided by UNIABROAD, is offered free of cost.

“We are headquartered in Oxford, UK, and have Indian offices located in multiple locations. Our corporate office is in Mysuru, Karnataka and branch office is based in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Students want counselling or guidance when they plan to apply for admission to a foreign university. However, a lot of the companies are not very accessible. We have addressed this issue and therefore, we cater to PAN India students by providing counselling and end-to-end admission support through our physical and virtual office”, says founder Vikas Murulidhara.

The success of a company such as UNIABROAD is mirrored in the success of the students it has assisted. 90% of the students, who have applied through UNIABROAD, have received significant scholarships. With the help of UNIABROAD, students can discover and apply for thousands of international scholarships and get assistance with education loans too. The mentorship provided by the company is not limited to university acceptance. With a dedicated post-admission support team, students get continued support even after their admission process so they don’t have to worry about anything. That’s how UNIABROAD is every aspiring international student’s one-stop destination.

Having set its eye on the horizon of success, UNIABROAD is marching ahead in creating a world where everyone has access to quality education.

“A strong digital presence and an ever-ready response to enquiries through certified consultants have worked out perfectly for GoIreland and are the secret behind our success. Understanding student preference through GoIreland and taking pride in assisting 3000+ students, we are sure of our new initiative GoFrance to reach great heights”, explained Ilaya Bharathi.

France aims to attract 20,000 Indian Students by 2025

While there is a huge demand for USA and Canada, students are increasingly interested in the French Government’s initiative to attract 20,000 Indian students by 2025. GoFrance has decided to guide and support these students looking for higher education in France through its qualified team of consultants.

French Institutions offer 1500+ courses in English which means that you don’t need to know French to study in France. Knowing and learning French can be supportive while finding jobs and there are various options to learn the language. Few other perks of paid internships, the presence of Fortune 500 companies, special post-study stay back visa after graduation is surely a hit among Indian students.

Strategies for GoFrance

Personalised individual attention, engaging SOP and LORs, quick application process and extended support for education loan and accommodation, a sound knowledge about France, their Universities, and the scope of various sectors is all they have to offer students looking to study in France. Students are always given complete guidance on arranging sufficient funds and are well informed before the process is initiated. Consultants are trained on a regular basis and are updated with the latest information in courses, Universities & Visa requirements. With a 100% visa success rate thus far, it is going to be a breeze for GoFrance. “We are looking forward to this great leap into France as we are sure of what we are doing with a young dynamic team of consultants, ready to assist students and to make a mark in the industry,” concluded Ilaya Bharathi.
