Frequently Asked Questions

Kerala students & parents most ask…

Yes, completely free. Career counselling, university shortlisting, application support and SOP review are all offered at no cost to students or families. We are paid directly by partner universities — never by you. The only money you pay is to the university (tuition) and the government (government application fees).

Yes. Founder Abin Mathew Varghese holds QEAC certification #10439 issued by PIER (Professional International Education Resources, Australia). QEAC is a leading professional credential for Australia-focused education counsellors. Guide to Heights is also officially recognised by the British Council under registration #49805.

No. Guide to Heights is an independent, privately owned education consultancy. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any government or government department. Our role is educational guidance — helping you choose courses and universities and preparing strong applications.

Our Kerala headquarters is on Level 2 at Infopark Express Highway Junction, Seaport–Airport Road, Chittethukara, Kakkanad, Kochi 682037. We are easy to reach from Ernakulam city, Kochi airport, and Vyttila Hub. Walk-ins are welcome Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM – 7:00 PM IST. Get directions on Google Maps.

Our four primary destinations are Australia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Ireland. We also assist with Germany, Malta and select European institutions. Australia is the most popular choice among Kerala students thanks to its globally ranked universities and strong graduate outcomes.

For most Kerala students, the full journey from first counselling to flying out is 4 to 7 months. University application processing typically takes 4–8 weeks, and you should allow additional time for English tests and other formalities. We recommend starting at least 6 months before your intended intake (February or July for Australia).

Most universities require either IELTS or PTE Academic. Many Kerala students score better on PTE because it is fully computer-based and the speaking section is recorded — no examiner pressure. We offer both IELTS and PTE coaching from our Kakkanad campus, plus official Pearson PTE discount vouchers and unlimited mock practice on G2H English Academy.

Yes. While our office is in Kakkanad (Ernakulam), we serve students from across Kerala — Thrissur, Kottayam, Calicut, Kollam, Trivandrum and Kannur. Initial counselling can happen on Google Meet or WhatsApp video, so the entire process can be managed remotely. In-person visits are welcome whenever you can travel to Kochi.

Most Australian, UK and NZ universities offer merit-based scholarships ranging from 10% to 50% of tuition. Guide to Heights also runs G2H Exclusive Scholarships — personal cash awards from founder Abin Mathew Varghese (₹20,000–₹45,000) that stack on top of university scholarships. Eligibility depends on your academics, IELTS/PTE score and a brief financial assessment.

You have three easy options: (1) book a free 45-minute slot online, (2) WhatsApp our admissions team at +91 89217 68892, or (3) call us directly at +91 89217 68892. The first session is always free, with no obligation to enrol.

Guide to Heights is an independent, privately owned education consultancy. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any government, government department or agency. All counselling, university shortlisting and application support services are provided free of charge to students. The only money you pay is to the university (tuition) and the government (government application fees). For official government information, always refer to the official website of your destination country.
