Hundreds of consultancies operate in Nepal. HOA focuses exclusively on UK admissions — producing specialist depth that multi-destination agents cannot match.
Every service carries zero cost to students — profile assessment, SOP editing, applications, scholarship negotiation, visa file preparation, and pre-departure briefing. UK partner universities compensate HOA directly. Students pay nothing, ever.
HOA counsellors work exclusively on UK admissions. This produces specialist knowledge of CAS processes, UKVI RAG compliance, MOI routes, and scholarship timelines that generalist multi-destination agents cannot match.
HOA actively negotiates Chevening (fully funded, chevening.org), GREAT Nepal (£10,000, great.gov.uk), Commonwealth (fully funded), and automatic university merit awards (£2,000–£10,000+) on every application. 50+ HOA-mentored Chevening scholars since 2016 (internal tracking data).
HOA's visa file preparation is precise and comprehensive. Bank balance format, NOC documentation, TB test timing, and CAS alignment from a UKVI Green-band institution are all verified before submission. 99% first-attempt approval across all guided applications (internal tracking data, 2016–2026).
UKVI certification means HOA is an approved UK Visas and Immigration education agent. AQF (UK Agent Quality Framework) registration, per ukcisa.org.uk, is the standard set by UK universities for overseas agents. Together they mean UK universities process HOA-referred applications faster and with greater confidence — producing stronger scholarship offers. Details: HOA AQF page.
Offices in Putalisadak 28, Kathmandu (Bagmati Province) and Trade Mall, Chipledhunga, Pokhara-8 (Gandaki Province). HOA serves all 7 Nepal provinces with free walk-in and online consultations, covering all four UK nations: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Most HOA students go from first consultation to UK visa approval in under 3 months. Every step is 100% free.
Walk in to Kathmandu (Putalisadak 28) or Pokhara (Trade Mall, Chipledhunga), or WhatsApp +977-9802373936. HOA evaluates academic grades, English evidence, budget, and UK career goals to identify the optimal university match.
Day 1–2HOA shortlists from 153 UKVI Green-band partner universities across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Drafts Statement of Purpose and compiles academic portfolio for applications.
Week 1–2HOA submits applications and actively negotiates scholarship offers. House of Admissions has guided students to over £2M in scholarships since 2016 (internal tracking data).
Week 2–4Complete visa file: 28-day bank balance at £10,539 outside London or £13,761 London (UK Home Office, Appendix Student, 2026), NOC from noc.moest.gov.np (MoEST Nepal), TB test referral, VFS biometric booking.
Week 6–10Briefing covers NHS registration, NI number, UK bank account, 20-hour/week work rights at £12.71/hour National Minimum Wage (UK Low Pay Commission, April 2026), and UK alumni network introduction.
Week 10–12In 2026, the single biggest risk for Nepali students is applying to a UK university without verifying its UKVI RAG compliance band. HOA built its entire model around one principle: we only place students at Green-band institutions. That is why our visa success rate is 99% (internal tracking data, 2016–2026). HOA is among fewer than 5% of Nepal consultancies to hold both UKVI certification and AQF registration simultaneously. And it is why we have never charged a student a single rupee. When a university knows your consultant has a 99% visa record, they move faster, offer more scholarships, and trust the file. The student benefits from our reputation, not merely our advice.
Direct partnerships across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Every HOA partner university is confirmed UKVI Green-band.

I visited five consultancies on Putalisadak in a single afternoon. Every one quoted me a fee between NPR 40,000 and NPR 80,000 just to start. Then I walked into HOA. They sat with me for ninety minutes, assessed my TU transcript, confirmed I could use a MOI letter instead of IELTS, and shortlisted three Green-band universities. Within two consultations they had identified a 50% scholarship at University of Lincoln. My UK Student Visa was approved on the first attempt. HOA never charged me a rupee. Not one.
Verified experiences from students HOA has placed across UK universities in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. 4.9/5 from 490+ Google reviews.
“HOA guided me to University of Greenwich with a 40% scholarship and my UK visa was approved on the first attempt. The entire service was completely free — no hidden charges anywhere. I am now in London on the Graduate Route Visa, earning £12.71/hr at the National Minimum Wage.”
“I applied without IELTS using my TU MOI letter — HOA guided me through every document. Visa approved first attempt. Two years on I am planning my Graduate Route to Skilled Worker Visa with HOA. Still no charge.”
“I was preparing for Chevening for two years without a mentor. HOA's team reviewed all four essays and ran three mock interviews. I was selected. HOA has produced 50+ Chevening scholars and never once charged a fee.”
Three documented placements from HOA's – placement cycle (internal tracking data).
Two critical 2026 policy changes directly affecting Nepal students: the new university compliance ratings and which universities accept MOI letters instead of IELTS.
Nepal is the 5th largest UK student source country — 20,600+ student visas issued in the year to , a 63% year-on-year increase (UK Home Office immigration statistics, 2024). Choosing an Amber or Red-band university can delay a UK study journey by 6–12 months. HOA monitors all 153 partner universities and shortlists only Green-band institutions.

Rahul Chhetri founded House of Admissions in 2016 with a deliberate decision: advise on UK universities only. That depth is why HOA maintains a 99% UK visa approval rate (internal tracking data, 2016–2026). Rahul and the HOA team are UKVI-compliant education agents and operate under the UK Agent Quality Framework (AQF) — the combination that gives UK admissions teams full confidence in HOA's student assessments.

The United Kingdom is a popular higher-education destination for Nepali students. A UK bachelor’s degree typically takes three years and a taught master’s one year, which can reduce the total years of study compared with four-year systems elsewhere. Several UK universities — including Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College London and UCL — rank in the global top tier, and more than 40 UK institutions appear in the QS World University Rankings top 200 (QS World University Rankings). Tuition varies by course and university and is listed on each university page; House of Admissions matches each student to programmes that fit their budget and academic profile.
The UK Student Visa, governed by Appendix Student of the UK Immigration Rules, permits up to 20 hours of paid work per week during term time and full-time work during vacations (UK Home Office, gov.uk/student-visa), helping students offset living costs. The required 28-day maintenance balance is £10,539 for study outside London (≈ NPR 20.5 lakhs at NPR 195/£1) or £13,761 for London (≈ NPR 26.8 lakhs), per UK Home Office guidance. House of Admissions prepares complete visa files, with a reported 99% approval rate across applications it has supported.
Living costs vary by city. Per HESA and UCAS estimates, students in cities such as Birmingham, Manchester and Loughborough typically budget around NPR 14–22 lakhs per year, compared with NPR 25 lakhs or more in London. Nepali graduates who studied in English at Tribhuvan University, Pokhara University, Kathmandu University or Purbanchal University can apply to 25+ UK universities via a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter instead of IELTS — saving NPR 25,000+ in examination fees and up to three months of preparation, where the chosen university accepts MOI. After graduation, the Graduate Route grants two years of unrestricted work with no job offer or sponsor required (UK Home Office, gov.uk/graduate-visa); a switch to the Skilled Worker visa at the £38,700 salary threshold can lead to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after five years of qualifying UK residence.
House of Admissions has secured £2M+ in scholarships for Nepali students since 2016, including 50+ Chevening placements (funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office), GREAT Scholarships (£10,000 partial awards), Commonwealth Scholarships (fully funded), and university merit awards of £2,000–£10,000+. Scholarship matching is included in HOA’s free service. Schools, colleges and organisations in Nepal can offer HOA’s UK guidance to their communities through a free partnership arrangement. Two offices serve all seven provinces of Nepal: HOA Kathmandu at Putalisadak, and HOA Pokhara at Trade Mall, Chipledhunga. Book a free consultation at either office →
