I think student have to share the blame as well. I can't believe they leave everything to the Consultancy. Whatever consultancy says, whichever docuements they ask for they bring it on. They think it is a job of counsultancy to take them from Nepal to UK.  They give consultancy 20-25000, consultancies shows the amount in the account of student for one day as a result they get visa. 


I think the best think any student can do is.................

1. Apply themselves after research rather than depending on consultancy

2. Take advice from the people in UK rather than people in Nepali consultancy in Nepal

3. Don't be shy in applying to several Universities and all the possible scholarship well ahead of time. May be 8-9 months or even a year earlier. That will drastically increase the chance of getting a scholarship.  I wonder how many nepali don't get scholarship because they don't apply for it. They are too shy to apply to university because the cost is high.

One thing they should remember, the amount of money they spend in college, with the same amount they can get university degree with scholarship. When they graduate they will also have better chance to get job.  The point is apply to as many universities as possible. May be 10-15 does not matter and as many schoarships.  Dont' think that you are not good enough to get a schoarship because you will be surprised when you get one. 

If you want to spend money spend it in Nepal by applying to loads of universities . Dont' be miser for the postal expense of 200-300 Rs for applying to each university. 

Any student can apply to UK university by saying they will pay money through scholarship. University first gives conditional offer and later informs whether they have recieved schlorships or not.
