I am Dr. Sonal Gohil – mother of Dhruv Gohil, also speaking on behalf of Dr. Jitendra Gohil, who got fantastic support from IMFS. We came to know about IMFS from our family friend Mr. Parvinder Singh who is the strongest pillar of IMFS. He is an indirect driving force for guiding Dhruv in the right direction. GRE and TOEFL Classes were very informative. Lectures by Mr. K P Singh were very well organised, energetic, and very inspirational. His sense of humour and communication with the students is excellent! IMFS is extremely committed, focused and professional towards all the needs of the students. The entire staff is always approachable, responsive, responsive and communicative. Mr K P Singh is very influential,
knowledgeable and is widely known across many academic institutions all over the world. Selecting a line of study and applying to the different universities seemed to be a daunting task, but Ms. Nisha supported with proper and timely information, documentation, drafting SOPs, visa processes. Which made the entire process very easy, interesting and satisfying. The whole journey of classes to getting visa was amazing. Thanks to IMFS for the support and guidance which helped Dhruv in getting admission in one of the best universities in the USA.

I approached IMFS without even the slightest clue about higher education or the rigorous process that goes behind securing an admission in top tier universities. Sharmila Ma’am helped me throughout the process and even personally mentored to prepare for my interviews and English tests. Without Shami mam or her team, this would have been impossible! It was the first time that I came across a program that only had the subjects that I loved and I believe my results speak for themselves as I completely enjoyed completing my master’s degree. Not only have I graduated, but I can now proudly say that I have graduated with the top most grades from the best petroleum school in Asia pacific and 5th best petroleum school in the world! I am grateful to have been mentored by Ms Sharmila and her team and I dedicate my achievements to them! Cheers

Since June 2021, I have been a student at IMFS, beginning with my GRE and TOEFL preparation and continuing through the further procedures. I want to thank the entire team there. They made sure that all of our questions were answered fully throughout coaching. The counselling staff also assisted me in navigating the challenging application, I-20, and visa preparation processes. IMFS has been a tremendous help to me at every stage. I have to admit that IMFS is the finest option for individuals who desire to pursue an education overseas.

I would recommend IMFS to everyone as they have over 25 years of experience. KP Sir and the entire IMFS Thane team (especially Jagat Sir and Shirin Ma’am) made my application process very smooth, from choosing the suitable universities and applying to each of them to getting my visa approved. Since I do not live in Mumbai, my entire journey with IMFS was completely online, but the team is so friendly and supportive that I never felt that I was sitting miles away from them! The orientation sessions and one-to-one guidance sessions by KP Sir are very inspiring. Thank you team for your help!!

IMFS changed my life, I have taken IELTS coaching and GRE coaching from IMFS, I’ve got a score of 8 bands in IELTS and 317 in GRE thanks to IMFS. I also secured admissions and VISA for my master’s in USA. IMFS proactively took sessions and webinars about master’s courses and how to apply. They took care of my profile from applications until VISA. I would recommend it and honestly think it’s IMFS is the best place in Hyderabad for foreign education
