Anecdote of Ms Trushti Savaliya – Ahmedabad, Gujarat

Hi everyone! I am Trushti Savaliya, originally from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. I must say that if I have done it, you can do it too. Moving a bit back in time i.e in 2023 when I was very much frustrated and fed up of my monotonous life, at that time, I came across a sponsored advertisement of Global Colliance of studying in the UK and that also at a very affordable cost with maximum scholarship options. My mind started running in that direction and I thought of giving it a chance. I discussed the same with my parents and they very readily accepted my thought. I, along with my parents, visited the office in Ahmedabad, where I was very meticulously guided on the course options for my MBA in Business Innovation and Change Management as I had completed my Bachelors in Business Administration. The career counselling provided by the counsellors felt music to my ears. After a thoughtful consideration, I decided to start my IELTS coaching.

I swear, I struggled a lot initially to speak, read, write and listen in IELTS as the medium of instruction in my school was Gujarati. The fundamentals were not at all clear but thanks to the faculty, Ms Yashasvi Pandya, at Global Colliance who assisted me with the customised study plans and was always available to answer my queries at any time. She acted like a guiding light and regular mock tests just worked as an icing on the cake. I was grateful to score 6.5 bands in my 1st attempt itself and that also in very limited time duration.

During my IELTS coaching IELTS coaching, I had already received a conditional offer letter from the University of Warwick, which I was actually aiming at. It was the time to gather all the necessary documents. One thing that I was very much impressed about was the timely updates given by the counsellor so that I do not miss any deadline. My opted intake was of September 2023, so I completed all my financial and academic formalities before 2 months and the only thing I was waiting for was of a visa to be stamped on my passport. I was fortunate enough to receive preparatory guidelines for cracking interviews by the expert counsellor, Ms Urvi. She provided me the set of questions that aligned with my course and some possible counter questions that I may face. All these perquisites made my journey a hassle-free task. A month before my course start date, I received my UK Student Visa .

Fast-forward to the time after the completion of my course in the UK, I was eagerly waiting for getting employed in any organisation from where I can kick-start my professional life. I was quite sceptical on employment part thinking language fluency to become a barrier but I am extremely grateful for the organisation culture I have at Accenture, that now I am able to present myself confidently in front of internal and external stakeholders. During my studies, I engaged myself in multiple extra-curricular activities coupled with maintaining good credits. I got successfully placed at Accenture as a Change Management Consultant via campus placement cell.

All in all, with proper roadmap and guidance, your odyssey to study in a foreign country can become a smooth sailing. I would recommend every overseas aspirant to start early to avoid any mishap during the whole procedure and trust Global Colliance and its team that they will never let your dreams fade.

Story of Ms Lovina Verma – Pune, Maharashtra

Hey people, this is Lovina Verma. Basically, I am from Pune, Maharashtra. I am currently serving as a Product Development Executive at a very reputed organisation, McCain foods, in Australia I can very vividly remember my journey from being a mere Bsc (Chemistry) student to being a respectful employee at this place. My fly was no less than a roller-coaster as I had to face many financial constraints.

I clearly recall the time when my father got a transfer in his job and we had to shift to Ahmedabad after my bachelors. I was very much clear from the start that I want to pursue my post-graduation in Australia but was a bit clueless on what course to select and how to go ahead with the funding part. Thus, I started visiting institutes nearby and a little far away places in Ahmedabad but could not find the one which can assure me about my aspiration completion with surety. Then, I decided to search by myself on Google and during my research, I found the website of Global Colliance, which looked fascinating. So, I thought of digging deep into the information for that institute. Upon researching, I made an inquiry and they called me for a face-to-face interaction. The initial talk itself hit me hard as I could connect easily with the counsellor who understood my shortcomings and advised me accordingly.

After my physical entry and talk, I was convinced to carry out my further process of studying abroad in Australia from Global Colliance only. As I was willing to take admission in the top university, scoring a minimum of 7.5 bands in IELTS was a necessity but this hurdle was easily passed without much difficulty due to manifold reasons: the IELTS faculty, the teaching pedagogy, personalised attention, tailored study plans and my background of English Medium studies. Now, was the actual game play.

At the time of my preparation of my IELTS, I was simultaneously told to gather all the academic and financial documents so that I don’t have to rush till the end moment. I didn’t want to put more pressure on my dad so I planned to fund my studies through loan. At each and every step, Global Colliance has stood by my side but due to unavailability of a few documents, disbursement of loan took a lot of time which made me think of deferment to the next intake but the team kept me motivated throughout. It is not at all wrong to say that Global Colliance not only supports you for your application and visa process but also inspires you emotionally and mentally. Lastly, I received my visa after so many ifs and buts for the intake I had envisioned to go for.

It was just 5 days before the start date that I landed in Australia but those 2 years of studying MSc in Food Technology changed my whole life. I faced many challenges which I guess are common for students studying abroad but the thought of repaying the loan amount kept me moving. For once, I also thought of returning back to India but here again, the team of Global Colliance let the fire of getting a better lifestyle burning in me. Once the studies were over, I started applying for job via different portals and I also took help of my seniors where needed and then, after giving too many interviews, facing rejections and feeling demoralised, I am now relaxed to live the life I ever dreamed of. As a popular saying goes, ‘Try and Try till you succeed’, I followed it diligently and all credit goes to my parents and Global Colliance’s team. They worked as the central pillar and made my arduous ride a no sweat.

Finally, I would give Global Colliance 10/10 and suggest all the aspirants to take its service if you are wanting to make a real difference in your life, be it professionally or personally. Remember, all things are easy, before they are difficult. Make an intelligent choice and start acting upon it.
