Service after paying Rs 1.18 Lakhs
This is a very long post, but an IMPORTANT one.
Please be careful before choosing your study abroad consultants, everyone. Hopefully, you will come across this review and think at least a hundred times before paying this company money.
Utterly useless people! Even giving a single star is a waste of my precious time and my parents' money! I wish I could write this sooner and warn other potential students.
Guess what? We wasted Rs 1.18 Lakh on this useless company just to apply to 15 universities across Europe (proof below), which excluded the cost of applications (even my APS certificate). They promised us that it would cover a proper research sheet based on my profile and goals! What a joke! All the research sheets that I got were useless shit! They had universities that I might not have even heard of, even when my family said that we needed at least the top 100-ranked universities in the world, which were in Europe.
For your kind information, I have a very strong profile with 2 research papers that are being published, and another research paper that is pending. Other than that, I have worked at 2 premier research institutes in India, which are CSIR-IGIB and the University of Hyderabad, all during my undergraduate course. Also, I have two other internships from the University of Delhi (where I am currently studying). Even after such a strong profile, they wasted all this potential that I had! I received rejection emails from the University of Amsterdam, Utrecht University, Wageningen University, and LMU!
As a matter of fact, I was shortlisted for the interview for the MSc Biotechnology program at the National University of Singapore (proof below). Did TC Global help me much in that? No. They made beautiful (at least they might think that it was beautiful) SOPs, which were simply edited by performing a simple spell check and AI check using Grammarly! Can you imagine? Grammarly?! I could have rather paid 4k per annum and instead bought Grammarly Plus to perform these simple checks, instead of paying 1.18 Lakhs to TC Global! For all the universities, I sat up all night with my brother and parents to write my entire SOP on my own, and all they did was simply highlight the sentences that contained AI and plagiarism! Instead of sitting with me and asking me questions and enhancing my entire SOP (which is the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT DOCUMENT for an international student), they just had a simple form in which I inserted my SOP, and they simply highlighted regions and added some small comments (you should add a hook, etc). Coming back to NUS, I was rejected (again, proof below). You might think that at least TC Global must have prepared me for the interview. Of course, they didn't (not a part of their package, was it? That is what they can say and then defend themselves). I sat with my brother and prepared the entire cheat sheet for my interview with all my strengths and weaknesses, and other important things.
See there? I got shortlisted for NUS, and still with such a strong application, TC Global "created a research sheet" which had universities such as the University of Jena, and some Marsburg University or whatever.
Fast forward to January-February 2026, I started applying to the top Australian universities through IDP (it is a very good organization, and I have had a very good experience with the people who work there. They are very professional, and they do take things seriously, at least for Australia). After that, I got a conditional offer from the University of Melbourne (Ranked 1 in Australia and 19 in the world rankings).
This is why you see? TC Global is nothing but a complete waste of money. We wasted 1.18 Lakhs, which is a lot here in India (other than the application fees of each university). Please don't make the same mistake, people. Think wisely before choosing them as your study abroad consultants. If they don't charge any money from you, do remember that they would send you to a partner university and earn at least 1-2 Lakhs (as commissions) as you pay your fees.
