Hyderabad|India|June '2011: India’s premier overseas education consulting company, Oceanic Consultants, has expanded its operations with the opening of its offices at three different locations, Hyderabad, Vijaywada and Vizag, in Andhra Pradesh. Since its inception in 1996, Oceanic Consultants has been facilitating Indian student’s mobility to overseas universities by providing them its superlative overseas education consulting services. Oceanic believes is rendering absolutely ethical services to students and charges no fee for its services. Oceanic now is all set to serve the students of A.P. through its newly launched offices across the region.

The demand for immigration services has been soaring consistently in A.P. which is why Oceanic Consultants decided to render its services in this part of country. Dr. Fiona Richards, COO of Oceanic Consultants said, “We conducted a research and found that a large number of students from A.P. are highly ambitious and eager to pursue higher studies overseas. So, this spread out was planned in order to meet the rising requirement of our services across India.”
With this expansion, Oceanic is ready to provide student-friendly services and appropriate counseling, including future planning and budgeting to the students of A.P. “Our student-oriented approach leads us to completely focus on the entire process of studying abroad and take care of even the minute details,” Dr. Richards added. Experts at Oceanic counsel the students, right from the selection of course to getting admission, acquiring visa and making apt travel arrangements.

Dr. Richards further held, “We believe transparency is the best policy. We strive to establish a bond of transparency and trust with our clients. We encourage them to come to us with true information and honestly cooperate in the process. Depending on this information, we help the students in making right decision.” Keeping the previous and current overseas education trends in mind, Dr. Richards strongly feels that it is best to be honest and should avoid any kind of documentation fraud.

India has seen a considerable escalation in the number of students opting for overseas education in past 20 years. Alongside, there has been a rise in the number of fake service providers throughout India who have been cheating on students and their parents by giving them false hopes. Such fraudulent agents have made the countries such as Australia and United Kingdom introduce stringent changes in their immigration rules and student visa laws. Dr. Richards alleged, “This has been done to ensure that only genuine students reach these countries. There are many students who opt for just any course to get the green card. Such immigrants can turn into anti-social elements. The governments of foreign countries just want to put a full stop on this unhealthy practice.”
