Who we are

Hotcourses India [an IDP company] is the No.1 overseas education consultants in the market today, helping students get their coveted international degree. We are a brand valued by universities across the globe. Hotcourses enjoy a very strong presence in the education industry with close to 20 years of experience.Our primary role is to connect students with universities and colleges around the world. To achieve this, we have the expertise of study-abroad counsellors and the strength of a large database of courses and institutions. Lakhs of students rely on our extensive database to learn about universities and courses and make life-changing study decisions. Students make use of the Course Matcher - our search and matching tool – to narrow down the large list of universities based on their qualifications and other criteria that matter to them. Our ultimate search feature lets them compare and shortlist universities based on their preferences. If at any point they would like to download the prospectus of any university available on our site, it could be done free of cost. We collate study abroad news from around the world and make it accessible to students through our International Student News page. All these along with the wide variety of articles on topics related to studying abroad will help students make informed decisions.

Our services are not limited to this website.

We have dedicated counsellors who provide comprehensive guidance on all aspects of the study-abroad process including how to find a university, complete an application, get SOPs and LORs in order, clear IELTS or finally pack the bags. They also double as visa advisor to help students with their visa application and interview. Our experts arrange the opportunity for students to attend webinars with university representatives. Following up with the universities about the status of the applications is just another part of their job. Apart from this, we have the IDP Live app that delivers real-time updates about your application without connecting to our counsellors.
