About Career Bato

What Career Bato counselling is

Career Bato Educational Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. is a Nepal-based consultancy dedicated to helping students find the right college in India. From choosing the right stream and institute to navigating the entire admission process — we walk every step of the journey with you, completely free of consultation charges.

Career Bato Educational Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. is the counselling service founded by Prajeet Shah, the creator of this website. The rest of the site explains scholarships and applications in general terms; Career Bato is where you can talk through your own situation one to one: your marks, the stream you want, what your family can afford and which colleges in India are realistic for you. Consultation is free of charge.

In detail

How a counselling request works, step by step

The form on this page is short, but it helps to know what happens at each stage before you fill it in.

  1. 1

    Verify your emailThe form first sends a one-time password (OTP) to your email address, which confirms the address belongs to you before any other details are collected.

  2. 2

    Share your detailsYou enter your name, phone or WhatsApp number, preferred branch, budget range and an optional message, and agree to be contacted.

  3. 3

    First conversationA counsellor reaches you by phone, WhatsApp or email to understand your goals and answer your first questions.

  4. 4

    ShortlistYou receive a small list of colleges that fit your profile, with fees, location and course details explained so the options can be compared side by side.

  5. 5

    Your decisionYou choose whether to go ahead with any option. If you do, the team can help with forms, documents and preparing for travel.

Tip: Before the call, keep your mark sheets, your final or expected percentages, a realistic budget for the whole course and a written list of questions in front of you. The conversation is far more useful when the numbers are at hand.

Is this for you?

Who it is for

Counselling is most useful once you have a rough idea of your results, or expected results, and your budget. You do not need to have picked a college before getting in touch.

  • Students in Nepal who have finished, or are about to finish, Class 12 and want to study in India

  • Families comparing colleges across different budget ranges, including students who are not applying for a scholarship or did not receive one

  • Students undecided between streams such as engineering, medicine, pharmacy, nursing, agriculture, management, hotel management or IT

  • Anyone who already holds an offer or a shortlist and wants a second opinion before paying fees

Two routes

Scholarship route vs self-funded admission

There are two common ways into an Indian college: a government scholarship or a self-funded seat. Here is what each involves, and where counselling fits in.

Guidance only

Government scholarship route

ICCR, COMPEX, Study in India and other schemes

  • You fill in and submit the application yourself, on the official portal
  • Official notices say applications through consultants or agents are liable to be rejected
  • Selection is decided only by the official authorities
  • Counselling can help you understand a scheme and get your paperwork in order
Full counselling support

Self-funded admission

With free Career Bato counselling

  • A shortlist of colleges that fits your stream, marks and budget
  • Options across budget ranges, with or without a scholarship
  • Fees, location and course details explained side by side
  • Help with forms, documents and travel once you decide
  • The final decision is always yours

Scholarships: apply for them yourself

Government scholarship applications must be your own work. The official notices for COMPEX and the other Embassy of India, Kathmandu schemes state that applications routed through consultants, agents or middlemen are liable to be rejected. Counselling can help you understand a scheme and get your paperwork in order, but you should fill in and submit scholarship forms yourself, on the official portals.

Our scholarship pages and guides cover ICCR, COMPEX, Study in India and the other schemes in detail, so you can prepare an application independently and with confidence.

Before you pay any fee

Checks to make before accepting any college offer

Whether a college is suggested by a counsellor, a relative or an advertisement, a few checks protect you from expensive mistakes. These are the questions we encourage every student to ask, and to get answered in writing where possible.

  1. 01

    Is the institution, and the specific programme you are joining, recognised by the relevant regulatory body in India?

  2. 02

    If you plan to work in Nepal after graduating, will the degree be accepted by the equivalence authority or professional council you will need to register with?

  3. 03

    What will the whole course cost, including hostel, food, examination fees, travel and documents, not just the first year's tuition?

  4. 04

    What is the refund policy if you withdraw, and is it written down?

  5. 05

    Is the fee paid directly to the institution's official account, with an official receipt?

  6. 06

    What do current students say about the teaching, the campus and placements?

Your privacy

These details are used to respond to your request and are not sold. Our privacy policy explains how they are stored, how long they are kept and how to ask us to see, correct or delete them.

FAQ

Career Bato FAQs

Straight answers before you share any details.

Is Career Bato counselling really free?

Yes. There is no charge for consultation. Be wary of anyone, under any name, who asks for money in exchange for a guaranteed seat or scholarship.

Is Career Bato connected to the Embassy of India or ICCR?

No. Career Bato is a private consultancy. It is not affiliated with the Embassy of India, ICCR, Study in India or any government body, and it cannot influence selection or admission decisions.

Will Career Bato submit my COMPEX or ICCR application for me?

No. Government scholarship applications should be filled in and submitted by you on the official portals, because the official notices say applications through consultants or agents are liable to be rejected. Counselling can help you understand the process.

How soon will someone contact me?

The team aims to reach you within 24 to 48 hours of a completed request. Keep your phone and WhatsApp reachable and check your email, including the spam folder.

Do I have to choose one of the colleges you suggest?

No. The shortlist is advice and the decision is always yours. Take time to compare the options and verify each college independently before paying any fee.

Can I ask for my details to be deleted?

Yes. You can ask to see, correct or delete the information you submitted at any time. The privacy policy explains how to make that request.
