When 25-year-old Shubham from Patna started planning his studies abroad, he was overwhelmed by YouTube videos, confusing Reddit threads, and agents all giving different advice. It wasn’t until he spoke to a current student at his target university through Ask A Student, for peer-led advice on studying abroad, that things finally started to make sense.
This is the shift happening in education today: Helping students make smarter, more confident choices directly from those who’ve walked the same path.
Ask A Student is a peer-powered guidance platform connecting prospective students with verified student advisors from 300+ universities in India and around the world.
Whether you’re choosing between DU and NMIMS or deciding between IELTS and TOEFL, you get support from those who’ve just been in your shoes.
“When I told my father about my college plans, he asked: ‘Did you talk to someone studying there?’ That question changed everything — and sparked the idea for Ask A Student.”
“At Ask A Student, you don’t just get counsellors. You connect with students already studying in your dream university, students who’ve been through the same process. They tell you what worked, what didn’t, and what they wish they knew.”
— Ani Titus, Global Certified Career Counsellor & Co-Founder of Ask A Student
