Everything you wanted to ask but did not know where to start.
What is Sanz International?
Sanz International is a study abroad and career counselling consultancy based in Bangalore. We have been helping students, parents and professionals make informed education and career decisions since 2012. We guide students to 18+ countries for study abroad and offer structured, psychometric-backed career intelligence for school students, college graduates and working professionals.
Where is Sanz International located?
We are based in Bangalore, India. Our office is at R H Plaza, 1st Floor, No. 3, Near Marks and Spencer, 100 Feet Road, Ejipura, Bangalore — 560047. We also offer online consultations for students and families outside Bangalore.
How long has Sanz International been operating?
Sanz International was founded in 2012. We have more than a decade of experience in study abroad counselling, career guidance and Indian admissions. Over the years we have guided 2000+ students across 18+ countries
Is the first consultation free?
Yes. The first consultation at Sanz International is completely free — 20 to 30 minutes, in person at our Bangalore office or online. We understand your situation, answer your questions and recommend the right path forward. No commitment, no sales pitch.
Can I consult online or do I need to come to the office?
Both options are available. Many of our students consult with us online via video call, particularly those outside Bangalore. In-person sessions are available at our Bangalore office for students who prefer face-to-face guidance.
Do you charge a consultation fee?
The initial consultation is free — 20 to 30 minutes. A detailed one-hour consultation for career intelligence is available for Rs. 1,499. Study abroad consultation pricing is discussed based on the services required. Contact us for details.
What makes Sanz International different from other consultancies?
A few things set us apart. We look at your actual profile — CGPA, finances and career goals — before recommending anything. We use psychometric assessments to back career recommendations with data, not opinions. We have been doing both study abroad and career counselling since 2012. And we will tell you honestly if a plan does not make sense for your profile — even if it is not what you want to hear.
Do you handle both study abroad and career counselling?
Yes. Sanz International has always covered both. We guide students to universities abroad and in India, and we offer structured career intelligence for school students, graduates and working professionals through Sanz Career Intelligence. Both services sit under one roof in Bangalore.
What is Calmyra and how is it connected to Sanz International?
Calmyra is a professional mental wellness and therapy practice co-founded by Safina Naaz and Nadeem Ulla Khan — the same founders as Sanz International. It operates in the same Bangalore office and in Dubai. When a student or professional needs mental wellness support alongside career or education guidance, our team connects them with Calmyra. Currently operating under the name Hear and Heal in Bangalore — transitioning to Calmyra.

How do I start the study abroad process with Sanz International?
Start with a free 20 to 30 minute consultation — in person at our Bangalore office or online. We understand your goals, your profile and your budget, and recommend the right next steps. Book via our website or WhatsApp us on +91 6364634445
Which countries do you help students apply to?
We actively guide students and process applications for 18+ countries including the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Dubai (UAE), Germany, France, Singapore, Malaysia and across Europe and Southeast Asia. If you have a specific country in mind that is not listed, talk to us — we cover far more than most consultancies.
Do I need to know which country I want before coming to you?
Not at all. Many students come to us without a clear destination in mind — and that is perfectly fine. We help you figure out which country makes the most sense based on your course, your career goals, your budget and your profile. Coming in with a country already decided is also fine — we will give you an honest assessment of whether that choice actually makes sense for your situation.
How do you help with university selection?
We build a balanced shortlist based on your actual profile — academic eligibility, budget, career goals, post-study work rights and university reputation in your specific field. We do not send you a list of twenty universities that overwhelms you. We give you a realistic, strategic shortlist with a clear reason for every recommendation.
Do you help with SOPs and applications?
Yes. We help with the full application — Statement of Purpose strategy and review, Letter of Recommendation guidance, CV preparation for international universities and application timelines. We put multiple rounds of honest feedback into every SOP. No templates, no fabricated narratives. Your application should sound like you.
Do you offer scholarships guidance?
Yes. We advise on scholarship eligibility and applications where relevant — including Chevening, Commonwealth, university-specific awards and country-specific scholarships. We will tell you honestly what you realistically qualify for based on your profile
What is your success rate for study abroad applications?
We do not believe in publishing inflated success rate numbers — a common practice in the industry that does more harm than good. What we can tell you is that we have guided 2000+ students over more than a decade and our reputation is built on students who came back to thank us. Ask us about specific universities or destinations and we will give you honest, realistic expectations for your profile.
Do you support students after they get their visa?
Yes. Our support does not stop at the visa stamp. We provide pre-departure preparation covering accommodation, academic culture, finances and what to expect in the first few weeks. We are also available post-arrival for students who have questions during their transition
How early should I start the study abroad process?
The earlier the better — ideally 12 to 18 months before your intended start date for destinations like the USA, and 6 to 12 months for the UK, Ireland and Australia. Canadian applications now require even earlier planning given study permit caps introduced in 2024. Starting late significantly limits your options. If you are already close to a deadline, talk to us — we will tell you honestly what is still possible.
Can working professionals apply for study abroad through Sanz?
Absolutely. We regularly guide working professionals who are considering a second degree abroad for career growth or a pivot. The process is the same — we start with your career goals, assess your profile and map the right programme, country and university for where you want to go next.
Do you help with Indian university admissions as well?
Yes. We have been guiding students through Indian college admissions alongside study abroad counselling since 2012. Whether you are deciding between India and abroad or exploring both simultaneously, we help you make an informed choice
