What Students Say About the Putalisadak Office
House of Admissions guided me from selecting the University of Glasgow to getting a £5,000 scholarship. The Putalisadak office team made a complex process simple. I visited several times and never felt rushed.
My visa was approved in 18 days with their document preparation. The counsellor at Putalisadak explained the 28-day rule clearly so I avoided a common rejection mistake. Completely free service.
I received offers from 4 of the 5 universities they recommended, and chose the University of Manchester with a £3,000 scholarship. The SOP editing improved my essay significantly.
