When students walk into a study abroad consultancy, they see a clean office, friendly faces, and brochures full of global dreams.
But what they don’t see is the hustle, precision, and pressure behind every successful university application.
Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on what really happens inside an Indore-based consultancy like Renascence Global — from morning till late night. You’ll discover how much it takes to send just one student abroad.
☀️ 9:00 AM – The Briefing Begins
The day starts early with a team huddle.
Reviewing the day’s appointments
Tracking deadlines: university intakes, visa slots, SOP submission timelines
Assigning new student profiles to team members
Discussing embassy rule changes (they happen fast!)
This 15-minute session keeps the team synced and ready.
🧑🎓 10:00 AM – Counseling Students (and Parents)
By 10 a.m., the first students arrive. Some have clear goals—“I want to study AI in Canada.” Others come with dreams but no direction.
What happens in these 1-on-1 sessions?
Career counseling based on the student’s academic record
Country shortlisting (UK vs. Germany?)? Canada vs. Australia?)
Explaining budgets and scholarships
Answering parent questions like “Is it safe?” or “Will they get a job later?”
For consultancies in Indore, the parent’s trust matters just as much as the student’s ambition.
🧾 1:00 PM – Applications, SOPs, and Documents
This is when the heavy lifting begins.
Consultants move into application mode:
Filling university portals
Customizing each SOP
Gathering LORs, financial docs, passports, transcripts
Coordinating with overseas university reps for seat confirmation
It’s not just copy-pasting. A tiny mistake in course selection or SOP formatting can ruin months of work.
At Renascence Global, every SOP goes through 3 levels of editing to ensure it's impactful and compliant with country guidelines.
📹 4:00 PM – Mock Visa Interviews and Follow-ups
With visa slots becoming increasingly competitive, the team conducts
Mock visa interviews (especially for USA, UK, and Canada)
Document file checks to avoid last-minute rejections
Parental sessions to prepare them for financial interviews
Meanwhile, the back office tracks pending offers, deferrals, and embassy responses for 20–30 ongoing student cases.
📦 6:30 PM – Pre-Departure Support & Alumni Mentoring
For students flying out in the coming weeks, consultancies help with:
Forex and accommodation tips
Airport pickup coordination
Connecting them with Indian seniors abroad (alumni of the consultancy)
This is where local firms like Renascence Global shine—offering a personal, human touch that national chains often lack.
🌙 8:00 PM – Last-Minute SOS Calls
Even after hours, students send last-minute messages:
“I missed my visa interview slot. What do I do?”
“My portal is showing an error.”
“Can I change my course after getting the offer?”
The team often works late to solve these.
For many students, studying abroad is the biggest move of their life. For the consultant, it’s their daily mission.
💬 The Hidden Work Behind Every Student's Success
Here's what students never see:
10+ calls per day with embassies and universities
Internal training to stay updated on visa policies
Emotional counseling during rejections or deferrals
Working weekends during peak intake months
And despite the pressure, most Indore-based consultants keep smiling—because they know the impact of what they do.
