Pune Branch

Welcome to
IMFS Pune!

In the last 10 years, we have gone from strength to strength! We started our journey in Pune by sending our very first student, Prabhjot Singh to the University of Pennsylvania. Our undergraduate admissions began with Fahad Vora, who undertook a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering at Georgia Tech. We haven’t looked back since!

It has been an exhilarating journey with students from colleges such as COEP, PICT, Wadias, AISSMS, MIT WPU, MIT ADT, Modern College, MITCOE, DY Patil, Symbiosis et all. Pune is rightly known as the ‘Oxford of the East’ and attracts students from across India. Hence we have been fortunate to have students from distant locations such as Assam, Bengal, Bihar, Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, Kerala, Tamil Nadu – there is scarcely any area where we have not reached. Within Maharashtra, students come in from Aurangabad, Akola, Satara, Nanded, Jalgaon – in short, from every district.

Just as every cloud has a silver lining, the pandemic enabled us to connect with our students online, both for coaching and counselling. We have hence been counselling students in Dubai, Nairobi, Kenya, Kuwait, Oman etc. In fact, we have some students from the US as well!

We pride ourselves on being totally student centric, and offer bespoke counselling for diplomas, undergraduate, graduate as well as doctoral studies. Our services include a global overview of your options – pertaining to education as well as career options.

So if you are in Pune, just schedule a free consultation. And if you’re not, just reach out to us for an online Zoom or Microsoft Team meeting.

It’s simple – just fill out this form:

Testimonial

Hear from Our Alumni: Your Thoughts and Experiences Matter to Us

Undoubtedly one of the best institutes in Pune. I’ve been to the classroom course for training and consultation, and the team is a big hit! Sarita ma’am and team Pune helped me tick all the boxes for my admission to the University of Auckland, New Zealand. No false commitments, no false marketing, it’s simply a no nonsense centre. If you’re truly serious about your career - go - step in.

Pritesh Deokar

I had the best experience with IMFS, Pune. Deepti ma’am, Sarita ma’am and Jyoti ma’am helped me a lot right from the very beginning - SOP, LORs, application process, and visa process. You name it and they were always ready to guide me through it. Thank you so much to each and every one from IMFS, Pune for helping me get one step closer to my dream. Will forever be grateful!

Sharvari Deshpande

I have a BE in computer engineering, and I wanted to pursue a master’s degree in film direction from an American school. I was in dire need of counselling as I had no mentor from the filmmaking profession, and that's when I came across IMFS. Ms Sarita Sinha and her team guided me throughout the process, and her expertise made applying to 8 different schools possible for me. I would like to thank IMFS, and I highly recommend them.

Rohit Relan

I wanted to start a journey which could land me into a position that I can cherish forever, every professional goal that I can ever dream of or perceive! After completing my graduation in 2013 with a major in Neurological Rehabilitation, I joined Dr. D.Y. Patil University, Pune, as an Assistant Professor. I wanted to pursue my immense thirst for learning and development in the field of research and technological advancement further and I was very apprehensive to apply for my Doctoral studies to reputed American Universities, but Luckily I met K.P Singh Sir and Sarita Sinha M’am at IMFS, Pune, who not established confidence in me as an eligible student but also made me aware of the available funding options. I was relieved with their support!

PAWAN SHARMA

IMFS! You can probably vouch on me for this one. I feel glad I chose IMFS as I type a review today from the Texas Tech University in the U.S. Haven't met a more knowledgeable person like Sarita Ma'am, humorous person like K.P. Singh Sir and multi-tasking lady like Deepti Ma'am till date. Sometimes I wonder if these guys are superhuman! I was with IMFS for my SAT and IELTS coaching as well as counselling and it was an elite experience.Unlike others, IMFS tailored the university shortlist according to my preferences and financial requirements. I feel proud to sit here, in this university library and tell you that my tuition fees is almost covered by the scholarship I was offered. All thanks to their guidance.On various fortunate occasions, I got to visit the IMFS office and had a wonderful time there, cracking jokes, calming away my anxiety and getting my queries addressed. When I was all set to leave for the U.S, I remember Sarita Ma'am giving me a 1$ bill in a sealed envelope with K P Sir's blessings and sign on it as a ‘shagun’. That was when I was even more confident that I am in a safe space and going to a place where I can grow infinitely. They not only guided and counselled us but also treated us with great care and shared useful tips, like extended parents! Thank you for the immense memories I have created in these moments! Thank you for everything team IMFS.I HIGHLY recommend IMFS to everyone.

I would highly recommend IMFS if you’re looking for guidance regarding international education. Sarita ma’am, Deepti ma’am and the entire IMFS team is incredibly supportive on every step of the way - right from shortlisting universities, crafting amazing SOPs, application process, visa formalities, etc. The thought of studying abroad can be extremely overwhelming but the mentors at IMFS exude such a calming energy that you feel confident automatically. Start the process early and determine what your goals are - then leave everything to the professionals here and they will nudge you in the right direction.I’m delighted to say that I was able to bag all the top ranking universities in my field and I’m glad Sarita ma’am & Deepti ma’am were a part of my journey.

Honey Mehta

My experience with IMFS has been great and I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for guidance to pursue their education overseas. I’ve received admits from all my target universities and Sarita ma’am and Deepti Ma’am have been instrumental helping me achieve the same. Although the application process seemed daunting at the start, the team at IMFS helped at every step of the way. The team was always available to address any queries or concerns that I had.

Vaibhav Bajpai

Wonderful experience. Staff is very experienced and helpful. Prompt and precise when it came to doubt clearing of any sort. Immensely helped me build a strong profile which helped me get maximum scholarship in the university which I wanted. Special thanks to Deepti ma'am and Sarita ma'am for their guidance and blessings which made the whole process from application to the visa approval a breeze.

Advitiya Gaikwad

Had an amazing experience with IMFS Pune. Sarita Ma'am, Deepti Ma'am and Ashwini Ma'am were really helpful throughout the process. They help you out till the very last step until you land, and even after that. I did my fair bit of research before finalizing IMFS and am very much satisfied. I had options for both Mumbai & Pune and decided to go with IMFS Pune branch.
