In the last four-five years, the number of the consultancy firms for overseas study has increased significantly in the country. But most of them can often be deceptive. What is commonly seen is that at first they compel students to open a file charging a considerable amount of money, which is one kind of cheating. They also manage fake sponsorship for the students which fails to provide support In some cases, it is revealed that the full amount of the tuition fees is not paid to the foreign institutes. Consequently, students face great difficulty abroad. They have to repay the unpaid amount for their courses. So, it is suggested that the interested students gather the necessary information before accepting any offer.
