Where It All Began

A vision was born in the heart of Thane, above an ice cream parlour. Inside the cozy living room of Mr. K. P. Singh’s humble one-bedroom apartment, young minds gathered, questions were asked, and dreams were nurtured. It was more than a learning center; it was a place where futures were forged, friendships blossomed, and the aspiration to study abroad was ignited.
From casual chats to serious study sessions, Mr. Singh’s living room was a place where passion met purpose, where weekend classes turned into something extraordinary. The need for a grander stage was inevitable. And thus, in 1999, IMFS Thane was established, setting the foundation for what has become a beacon for international education.

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

My experience with IMFS Thane has been great! My special thanks goes out to Vinit Sir for his guidance and support throughout the process, from deciding which colleges to apply to until getting the visa. When I almost lost hope of getting my visa on time, he encouraged me, and optimism is all we need at such a time. I highly recommend IMFS to anyone considering studying abroad.

IMFS helped me to fulfill my dreams, the books and study materials they provide are very good and simple to understand. Teaching staff is very helpful and also they have personal attention on students. They kept me updated about the deadlines and guided me in the whole process. It’s a very good institute for both teaching and counselling. They prepare you for every situation from mock visa interviews to how approach tests. Can’t thank enough for helping me to achieve my dream.

I had an amazing experience with the counselling services of IMFS. IMFS helped me a lot as I was a working professional and it would have been difficult to complete everything on my own. Be it your university applications or any other forms, they always guide you with the accurate information to be filled. The staff is very supportive and friendly and they are always there to help you!

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!!

Before getting into this world of foreign education, I was very confused as there were many coaching classes in the same area. But most of people and even I agreed upon the fact that there's only THE ONE BEST institution you got to join is IMFS. I'm 100% sure it's going to be the best experience right from joining the class, attending the lectures till purchasing the ticket to your foreign country- till you sit on the plane. No comparison is to be made on highly professional teachers of IMFS, believe me they are superb; when KP sir starts his teaching you can't even afford to lose your attention, probably you cannot because their teaching methods would grasp you so tightly that you won't be able get distracted. IMFS staff is super supportive in all decisions. The counselling of IMFS is fabulous, they not only suggest you the best possible universities according to your profile but also suggest you how you can have a great profile. The most crucial part is arranging Finance. It’s simply the best I could say, until the whole finance management don't get into your head, IMFS will help you with every financial matter, believe me they are superb in that. In all terms, IMFS is great institution. If you are looking out for joining any institution...bro/sis hands down join IMFS. Uncle/aunt pls take the admission of your kid into IMFS, you won't regret.
