Five countries. One honest conversation about which is yours.
Cost, intake dates, work rights and the realistic chance of a visa differ enormously between these. Here is the short version of each — and a counsellor who will tell you when a country is the wrong fit for you.
What do you want to study?
The other way in. Most students arrive with a country in mind; more of them should arrive with a course in mind.
Nursing & Healthcare
240+ courses
The strongest employment outcomes of any field we place students into.
IT & Computer Science
310+ courses
Almost always STEM-designated in the USA, which is worth two extra years of work rights.
Business & Management
420+ courses
The widest choice, and the field where scholarship competition is fiercest.
Engineering
280+ courses
Australia and Canada both treat it as a skills-shortage field, which shows up in the work rights after.
Hospitality & Tourism
150+ courses
Paid placements are built into most programmes in Australia and Switzerland.
Education & Teaching
90+ courses
A registered route to teaching in Australia and New Zealand.
Accounting & Finance
170+ courses
Watch the professional-body accreditation — it is what makes the degree portable.
Data Science & Analytics
120+ courses
A masters here is the most common conversion for a Nepali IT bachelors.
The consultancy that tells you what you need to hear
Oli and Associates has run on one principle since 2002: a student is better served by an honest no than an expensive yes.
We are one of Nepal's largest education consultancies, and our Pokhara branch gives the Gandaki region the same certified counselling, the same university partnerships and the same visa expertise as our head office — without the bus fare to Kathmandu.
Our counsellors hold QEAC, ICEF and PIER certifications, which means they are examined on the immigration rules and the institution landscape of the countries they advise on, and re-examined as those rules change.
We are paid by the universities we place students with, so counselling, course selection, application and visa filing cost you nothing. What that buys you is our judgement — and our judgement is worth nothing if it is for sale.
- Free from first meeting to boarding passNo counselling fee, no application fee, no visa-filing fee.

Since 2002
Serving Nepali students
From the first conversation to the boarding pass
Seven stages, and you will always know which one you are in.
- 01
Free counselling session
An hour with a certified counsellor. Your marks, your budget, your family situation and what you actually want to do — before anybody mentions a university.
- 02
Country and course shortlist
Three to five realistic options, each with the total cost, the intake dates and an honest read on your visa chances.
- 03
Test preparation
IELTS, PTE or Duolingo classes in our own Pokhara classrooms, with a target score set by the courses you are aiming at.
- 04
Application and offer
We prepare, check and lodge your applications directly with partner institutions, and negotiate scholarships where they exist.
- 05
Visa file
Financial documents, sponsor papers, statement of purpose and interview preparation — assembled to the current standard of that country, not last year’s.
- 06
Pre-departure
Accommodation, airport pickup, forex, insurance, the packing list, and a briefing on what the first fortnight is genuinely like.
- 07
After you land
Bank account, tax file number, part-time work rules and a counsellor who still answers the phone. Our alumni networks in Sydney, Toronto and London are real people, not a mailing list.
Everything between here and there
All of it included. None of it charged to you.
Career and course counselling
A qualified counsellor maps your academic record and your budget onto the courses that will actually take you — and the ones that will not.
IELTS, PTE and Duolingo preparation
Small classes in our own Pokhara classrooms, taught by trainers who sit the tests themselves. Free for enrolled students.
Learn moreUniversity applications
Direct applications to 600+ partner institutions, with your documents checked before they go rather than after they come back.
Student visa guidance
The financial file, the statement of purpose and the interview. This is where most refusals happen and where most of our work goes.
Scholarship applications
We track the international scholarships our partner universities publish and apply for every one you are eligible for.
Pre-departure and arrival support
Accommodation, forex, insurance, airport pickup and an alumni contact in the city you are flying to.

Credentials you can check
Students who were sitting where you are
Every one of these started with the same free session you can book today.
I had a 2.8 GPA and had been told by two consultancies that Australia was out of reach. Oli & Associates found me a pathway diploma in Brisbane, got the credit transfer agreed in writing before I applied, and I finished my bachelors a semester behind where I would have been anyway.
The visa file is what I remember. Every document was checked twice and the sponsor letter was rewritten three times before they were happy with it. My interview lasted four minutes because there was nothing left to ask.
They talked me out of my first choice. I wanted the USA because my friends were going; the counsellor showed me what the same money bought in New Zealand, and what the work rights looked like after. I am in Auckland, and my parents still thank them.
I did my IELTS preparation in their Pokhara classroom and got a 7.5 overall. The class was fifteen people, not fifty, and the trainer marked my writing herself every week.
