The full journey
End-to-end counselling for students applying to universities in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong and India. Diagnosis, pillars, profile building, essays, applications and the decision, run by one person who knows the student.
Priced by destination and grade. United States ₹2,00,000 a year in Grade 10, ₹3,00,000 in Grade 11 and ₹5,00,000 in Grade 12; one-time fees of ₹2,50,000 for the United Kingdom, ₹2,00,000 for Singapore, ₹2,00,000 for Hong Kong and ₹50,000 for Australia; each additional destination 25% off.
Who this is for
What we do
We read the transcript, activity list and school context against the tier the student is aiming at and write down what is there and what is missing. Families keep the document. Most counsellors give this as a conversation; we give it in writing because it becomes the roadmap.
Ten activities should tell two stories, not ten. We choose the pillars with the student, place every existing activity, and design the research, projects, competitions and internships that make the pillars real.
Competition deadlines, research milestones, test sittings, summer programs and internships all live on one calendar that we run. The student does the work; we make sure nothing slips, and we adjust when school gets heavy.
Six brainstorming exercises, a story only this student can tell, a structure, and line editing until every paragraph moves premise to proof to conclusion. We do not write essays, and we will tell you why that protects the admit.
A balanced list across destinations, every portal reviewed before submission, recommendation strategy, aid forms, interview practice, and then a decision made on total cost, course and fit.
How it runs
What you receive
Questions
Study-abroad consultants are usually paid commission by universities to place students, which is why their advice clusters around the same partner institutions. We are paid only by families, we recommend universities the student can get into and afford, and most of our work happens years before any form is filled in: building the profile that makes the application worth reading.
No, and you should walk away from anyone who does. Admissions are decided by universities. What we guarantee is the process: a written diagnosis, a plan, every deadline kept, every essay edited, and honest feedback about which universities are realistic.
Grade 9 or 10 is ideal for the full journey because pillars need two years to become real. Grade 11 still leaves time to build one strong pillar and apply well. In Grade 12 we can run the application properly but cannot manufacture a profile, and we will say so on the first call.
There is no cap. Plinth runs on the Projectling mentor team, which grows with the number of families, so we onboard students at every grade, including late in Grade 12. Each student still gets a personal plan led by Vansh, a monthly session with a therapist, and a financial strategist for the parents.
Yes, and we prefer it. School counsellors handle transcripts, recommendations and the school report. We handle strategy, profile building and essays, and we brief the school counsellor so nothing conflicts.
