TESTIMONIALS
Pursuing my MBA dream started with frantic internet searches for the best available admission consultant. I visited numerous websites over the next month and eventually zeroed in on Experts Global after realising that it was the only institute which genuinely cared for the students.

After nailing GMAT, I thought I can walk just walk into any B-school I desired. All this was till I came across the rigorous and mysterious admission processes followed by the top schools.

Career Counselling
Career Counselling for Working Professionals, College Students, or School Students
If you introspect closely, you will find identify in yourself- a particular trait at which you were always better than the ordinary. The trait may not be fancy but common, everyday stuff- memorizing something easily, doing normal calculations quickly, multitasking 20 different household chores every day at ease, easily striking conversations with strangers, excelling at one work over and over without getting bored of it, creating jokes on your feet, rhyming poems or parodies at will, negotiating optimally to the last buck, working harder and longer than an average individual, meticulous micro management, extreme degree of patience, flair for language etc…the list never ending as so is the limit of human abilities. We believe (and there is scientific evidence to it) that each individual is gifted with one ability in which s/he is better than 99.9% individuals. This ability, when aptly nurtured, can be developed into a skill; a skill that, when effectively applied, may lead to a satisfying, scintillating, and meaningful career. Through our Career Counselling initiative, we strive to identify that one naturally gifted ability in an individual and groom it to help you achieve what you wish to accomplish in your life in general and career in particular!
