Study Abroad
A considered route to studying abroad.
For MS and M.Tech, MBA and MIM aspirants, Udaan guides the whole journey, from shortlisting universities to tests, applications, scholarships and the visa.
Last updated 16 June 2026

Studying abroad is a long journey with many moving parts, tests, shortlists, applications, funding and visas, spread across different countries and deadlines. Made well, the decisions compound; made hastily, they are expensive to undo.
Udaan guides the whole path. We are counsellors, not agents: we shortlist on fit and budget, not on commissions, and stay with the student from first plan to final visa.
Why students choose Udaan for studying abroad
An overseas degree is a major investment for any family. Students work with us because we build a balanced, well-reasoned list across countries and universities, plan tests and applications around real deadlines, and are honest about costs and funding from day one.
We say what we believe, including when a destination or programme is not worth the spend. That independence is the point of counselling.
How we help secure your seat
We evaluate the student’s profile, shortlist countries and universities, plan the GRE/GMAT and English tests, and prepare applications that present them at their best, then guide offers, scholarships, finances and the visa. Requirements differ by country and university and change over time, so we confirm the current ones for each programme.

Good to know
Questions, answered
- Which tests do I need to study abroad?
- It depends on the programme, commonly the GRE for MS/M.Tech and the GMAT or GRE for MBA and MIM, plus an English test such as IELTS, TOEFL or PTE. We build a test plan around your timeline.
- What is an MIM, and how is it different from an MBA?
- A Master in Management (MIM) is aimed at recent graduates with little or no work experience, while an MBA typically expects a few years of work experience. We help you choose what fits your stage.
- Does Udaan help with scholarships and the visa process?
- Yes. We guide students on funding options and scholarships and through the student-visa process for their chosen country.
- How far ahead should I start?
- Ideally twelve to eighteen months before the intake, to allow time for tests, applications and scholarships, though we also help students working to shorter timelines.
- Which countries can Udaan help with?
- We shortlist across popular study destinations based on the student's profile, goals and budget, rather than pushing any single country.
