Student-Centric Counselling Gaining Ground Among Study Abroad Aspirants
Hyderabad, July 19 — As international education becomes more competitive and outcome driven, students from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are becoming increasingly selective about their overseas education choices. What was once influenced by advertisements and promotional events is now guided by informed decisions and measurable success. At the center of this transition is i20Fever – Yathapu Consulting, a Hyderabad based firm quietly reshaping the landscape of overseas education counseling through ethics, accuracy, and a deeply student focused approach. Founded in 2006, i20Fever – Yathapu Consulting has guided over 33,000+ students to globally ranked universities across the USA, Australia, Canada, UK, Ireland, Germany, and France. Operating eight branches across Hyderabad, Warangal, Vijayawada, and Visakhapatnam, and powered by a team of more than 150 professionals, the consultancy's influence spans both metropolitan and tier-two cities. Their approach combines regional insight with global exposure, an advantage that today's students are increasingly seeking. At the helm is Mr. Naveen Yathapu, a Missouri University of Science and Technology (Rolla, USA) alumnus, who also serves as the Treasurer on the Board of Directors at AIRC (American International Recruitment Council). Under his leadership, the firm has consistently upheld international best practices while catering to the unique needs of Indian students, a balance that resonates strongly with aspirants looking for transparent and reliable guidance. Education Fair to Bring Global Opportunities Under One Roof On July 26, i20Fever is organizing its flagship USA & Australia Education Fair at Taj Deccan, Banjara Hills, from 10 AM to 4 PM. This year's edition will host representatives from over 40+ reputed universities, offering students and working professionals a platform to receive on-the-spot profile evaluations, scholarship insights, and visa guidance. While the event is focused on the USA and Australia, it also includes dedicated help desks for UK, Canada, Ireland, Germany, and France, enabling students to explore multi-destination plans based on their profile and goals. The fair is expected to draw a strong turnout, continuing the firm's tradition of high impact engagements every academic year. Students Prioritize Outcomes, Not Just Admissions Today's students are more concerned with long term outcomes, career prospects, visa sustainability, and return on investment, than with flashy promotional campaigns. With increasingly complex visa regulations, competitive application cycles, and evolving English proficiency requirements, aspirants are placing their trust in counselors who provide accurate, timely, and personalized support. Students from engineering, management, public health, and emerging tech domains are now choosing firms that offer data backed counseling, curated university shortlists, and rapid application processing. At i20Fever, a 48 hour turnaround for applications, real time updates, and systematic follow up have become standard practice, earning them the trust of students aiming for globally competitive programs. Credibility Is the New Currency In a crowded counseling market, track record and institutional affiliations are proving more persuasive than advertising budgets. Families are increasingly relying on word-of-mouth references and verified success histories. For many, the combination of i20Fever's alumni base across top global universities and its leadership's international credentials offer a level of assurance that's hard to replicate. The demand is no longer just for an offer letter, it's for a guided journey that addresses financial planning, visa compliance, and post-study pathways. Consultants with the ability to connect local realities with international requirements are now shaping the future of global student mobility. Southern India's Growing Footprint in International Education As observed over the past three years, students from the southern states particularly Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are increasingly placing their trust in i20Fever – Yathapu Consulting when it comes to overseas education. The consultancy has consistently emerged as a top choice among aspirants, thanks to its proven track record of placing students in leading global universities. Whether it's securing a STEM admit in the U.S., enrolling in engineering programs in Australia, pursuing healthcare in Canada, a business degree in the UK, pharmacy in Ireland, or automobile engineering in Germany, students are no longer swayed by flashy campaigns. Instead, they are making informed decisions driven by results, transparency, and personalized guidance. In this evolving landscape, i20Fever continues to lead with a student-first approach, setting the benchmark for ethical and outcome-oriented counseling across the region.

Quoting Ministry of Education statistics, he said 8,076 students were absent from the 2024 SPM examinations. 'This number is alarming. It represents not just a setback for the students themselves, but a loss to the nation's future talent pool,' he said, urging students to value their learning opportunities and pursue their dreams with courage and resilience. He added that higher education is more than just obtaining a certificate, it is a transformative journey that helps young people discover their passions, broaden their perspectives, and build meaningful networks. 'As long as you are determined and work hard, you will find your place in the world,' he assured. The fair was vibrant and well-received. Participating institutions set up booths offering detailed course information, application advice, and financial aid options. Students actively engaged with representatives, asking questions and listening attentively demonstrating their eagerness and hope for the future. Wong Liong Kiong, Head of the Guidance and Counselling Department, noted that this year's event surpassed previous editions in both scale and participation. She extended her gratitude to the national schools that joined the fair and to all participating institutions for their strong support in creating a wider platform for student development. According to the school, the core aim of the fair is to broaden students' horizons and deepen their understanding of the wide variety of education pathways available to them.
