"Extremely well planned and executed tour. KIC UnivAssist put a lot of thought into the schools to visit. They had great knowledge of all the high schools and we were very welcomed and received at each high school. The managers also showed interest in learning about each university and in helping with a long-term strategy. The tour kept us on our toes the entire time but it was well worth it. I liked the presentation format of the tour as it enabled students to get details of all universities present to find a best match for them."

- Jaini Chhaya, International Admissions

"KIC exceeded my expectations for recruitment in India. I was able to deliver presentations to targeted audiences. As a specialized school, this was especially important to me. The counselors at KIC were professional and respected at the colleges I visited, and my presentations were all well received. International recruitment is only a small part of my responsibilities so it was very helpful to have these visits arranged by a reputable partner."

- Craig Hines, Associate Vice President of Admissions

"The customer service was excellent. The taking care of our luggage from hotel to airport to hotel is greatly appreciated. Swaraj and Ganesh's [KIC directors and co-founders] passion in promoting and educating the students about U.S. education is a major asset."

- Marilyn Cheung, Director, International Student Programs

"I was thoroughly impressed by the KIC tour. KIC took us into some of the best Indian national schools so we could meet face-to-face with outstanding students. Just after one tour I have already seen many applications and inquiries. Also I was able to learn more about the rigors of the Indian high school curriculum from respected counselors and principals. I highly recommend you look at KIC when looking to recruit students in India."

- Timothy Tesar, International Recruiter and Global Admissions Counselor

"I was blown away by the 2012 UnivAssist Emerging India Tour. We had access to the best schools in India. Many of them were in places other tours don't visit and the transport and accommodation were first class. The set-up of the tour allowed us to introduce our respective schools and have valuable interaction time with the students. I really can't thank the entire KIC team enough."

- Jack Muir, International Admission Representative

"Mr. Kohli has been an excellent resource for the University of Cincinnati. He is extremely knowledgeable about U.S. education and the unique needs of Indian students, allowing him to provide excellent guidance to his students. I have been fortunate to host Mr. Kohli on our campus, and to visit him in Mumbai several times. He always impresses me with his honest assessments of U.S.-India educational issues and is a gracious host to visitors from the U.S. He is an avid traveler and has contacts almost anywhere in the world. I have also been impressed by the quality of his student applicants. Mr. Kohli’s special attention to his students’ interests, abilities, and needs help him provide excellent guidance to students. This has allowed for high rates of admissions for his students applying to our university. Additionally, the students who have enrolled have been excellent students who were well prepared for the academic rigors of our programs."

- Jon Weller, Director, International Admissions

"UnivAssist provides great access to key secondary schools in major Indian markets. They go beyond recruiting, educating students about opportunities for study in the U.S."

- Aaron Bixler, Associate Director, International Recruitment and Support Services

"KIC UnivAssist is THE source of knowledge about the Indian student market and mentality. I was so impressed by the access that was granted to our group to schools that are notoriously difficult to get into (or simply get to!) when solo traveling in India. The Emerging Tour brought us in contact with students who were open-minded and eager to hear more about studying abroad, as opposed to students in main metropolitan areas who are regularly bombarded with visitors from the U.S. I have traveled with KIC several times in the past, and will absolutely continue to do so in the future, due to their enthusiasm, professionalism, sincerity, and passion for what they do. Highly recommended!"

- Jennifer Mathews, Senior Assistant Director of Admissions and International Recruiting

"It was hard to top the experience during my first KIC tour, but they managed to do just that. The Emerging Tour is highly recommended for a smaller university such as Concordia University. The tour size was perfect – enough to have a great mix of schools, without being lost in the crowd. The students were eager to learn about the U.S. and were well-educated about their possibilities. The staff make it so you never have to lift a finger – all details were arranged with the concern of the participant as number one. I can guarantee a return trip from my university in the near future!"

- Lindsay Niemeyer, Assistant Director of International Admission

"The UnivAssist tour to 5 Indian cities exceeded my every expectation. UnivAssist has amazing entree into the best high schools in India, where many students really do want to complete their bachelor's degree in the U.S. On a single 11-day tour, we reps are able to make direct contact with the principals, counselors, students, and parents of 20 internationally-focused high schools. The tour is boutique in that the UnivAssist staff offer personalized feedback/advice for us reps to maximize our impact, and they also responsively implement what few recommendations we have for tour improvements. UnivAssist actively works for the success of the U.S. universities on the tour. The whole experience is individualized, supportive, well-organized, effective, and enjoyable. We at the UC Irvine Extension have signed up for two tours in 2012, expecting to see high-caliber Indian students apply to our undergraduate preparation program."

- Denise Davis, Associate Director, International Programs

"My experience working with KIC UnivAssist has been very positive. From my very first interaction with the staff, they came off as very knowledgeable, dedicated, and passionate. My experience traveling on the Emerging India Tour proved these initial observations to be correct. I was very happy with the organization and implementation of the tour. The selection of the schools visited helped to facilitate quality interactions with many promising prospective students as well as contact with school counselors. Most of all, I was impressed with the KIC UnivAssist leaders' genuine concern for the well-being and success of all the tour members and their tireless and professional work to make the tour a positive experience. I would be happy to recommend KIC UnivAssist to any school interested in growing their undergraduate Indian population."

- Kristi Marchesani, Assistant Director, International Admissions

"I've done many India recruitment tours over the years that were organized both by American and Indian companies, and the small group tour I've just completed with UnivAssist gave me by far more exposure to qualified undergraduates and their counselors than I've ever before experienced. KIC, a well-regarded Indian counseling organization, offers test preparation classes in many of India's best secondary schools and enjoys close ties with both school owners and school counselors. These strong relationships opened doors in many schools for the four diverse colleges and universities on this tour to have access to entire assemblies of grade 10 and 11 students. We visited five cities and three or four schools a day. In each case, UnivAssist had provided counselors with advance detail about the benefits and strengths of our particular schools, so they had interested students waiting to talk with each of us. This is the first time I have really felt that counselors were excited about the outstanding transfer opportunities afforded to my students and the value of my inexpensive tuition. I know that from now on my colleges will be recommended by these counselors. The other tour participants and I were all very impressed with UnivAssist's approach. We kept saying to each other, 'they really are doing something different!' I highly recommend that my college and university colleagues who want to build quality undergraduate Indian enrollment give UnivAssist Tours a try!"

- George Beers, Dean of International Programs

"Many international recruitment organizations make promises about their attention to detail, their quality customer service and their knowledge of the market(s).... KIC UnivAssist delivers on these promises in ways that continually impress me. From my first exposure to KIC UnivAssist at NAFSA to my second time participating in their tours, I have found every person connected to the organization to be committed to quality, to service, and to success. Their tours are amazingly well orchestrated, the school visits are extremely productive, and the follow up opportunities are robust. Their knowledge of the Indian market is deep and their commitment to serving students is at the core of everything they do. If you're interested in India, look no further than KIC UnivAssist."

- Chris Haidos, Associate Director, International Admissions

"I was extremely impressed with the overall level of service, planning, efficiency, and execution of the KIC UnivAssist recruitment tour. Everything, from the pre-check in at the hotels and airports to the school visits were so well coordinated by the KIC staff that I was able to direct my full attention on meeting with students, parents, and counselors. Even though it was my first trip to India, I did not have to give a second thought to logistical concerns! The school visits were well organized and gave the tour participants an opportunity to present to and meet with well-qualified and motivated students all across the country. Additionally, what is particularly impressive is the fact that it is evident that KIC genuinely cares about the students’ success, which helps to ensure that each student is advised and matched with the university that is the best fit with his/her future goals. Within a short time of returning from my trip we have already seen increased student interest and applicants."

- Jennifer Brook, Assistant Director, International Admissions

"Traveling with KIC UnivAssist in India was a dramatic difference from the first time I went to the country. The amount of time the organization spent on setting up visits really showed when we arrived at the schools. Attentive audiences were in attendance, and enough time was given to have pertinent conversations with prospective students. The comfort provided to the counselors traveling with the group was second to none. The tour group took the time to pre-check in guests allowing for ease of entrance into the hotels. I would trust KIC UnivAssist with travel any time I go to India."

- Carlos Delgado, Assistant Director of Admission

"While I have a fair knowledge of my institution's long-term international recruiting goals, I was brand new to international recruiting on this tour, filling in at the last minute. KIC's experience and services allowed me to very quickly get up and running. I had excellent student interactions on this tour that I know will be productive to my campus - talking to my more seasoned colleagues confirmed I was working with the ideal educational touring group in India. Logistical support was also outstanding, enabling us to focus on the most important tasks - working with the schools and individual students. The only downside to the tour was knowing I was very unlikely to participate in another, owing to my stand-in role."

- Elizabeth Bennett, University Registrar

"MONEY WELL SPENT! This was my first KIC tour and I am very impressed by the quantity and quality of students I was able to meet and speak with at some of the best schools in India. Mr. Ganesh Kohli definitely has very good connections at high schools in India. The KIC staff is extremely professional, helpful and prompt with their assistance and communication. I definitely plan to travel with KIC in the future and I would highly recommend them to U.S. institutions focused on recruiting undergraduate students from India."

- Derrick Alex, Director of International Admissions and Recruitment

"KIC UnivAssist offers excellent customer service to meet the needs of all university representatives. They have a great knowledge of education in India and provide many opportunities for reps to meet highly qualified students."

- Talia Popovski, Assistant Director, Undergraduate Admissions

"KIC UnivAssist is an excellent education tour company. The small number of university reps per trip, the focus on undergraduate students and their unique and effective presentation technique makes KIC a perfect fit for the University of Oregon. They have a special knowledge of the Indian market that can only come from previous experience actually working in the schools and advising parents and counselors. They not only know who the decision makers are in India, but often have them on speed dial. I recommend KIC to any school looking to increase the number of Indian undergraduate students attending their institution."

- Robert Hardin, Assistant Director of Admissions for International Recruitment

"KIC UnivAssist is a wonderful organization for recruitment! The staff is professional and always willing to help. It is evident that they are passionate about U.S. education and it shows with their recruiter and student interactions. I highly recommend KIC!"

- Lindsay Loebig, International Recruitment Specialist

"I had the pleasure of participating in two KIC UnivAssist tours, and SCAD has been present in all tours to date. UnivAssist’s extensive network of contacts as well as their excellent relationships with teachers and guidance counselors in India added immense value to the already well-organized events. The itineraries have consistently included first-rate schools to which I have had little exposure in the past. The small group format gives ample opportunity for all participants to introduce their institutions before engaging in direct conversations with prospective students. The KIC staff is professional, friendly, and exhibit an impressive nimbleness in adjusting and accommodating changes and requests on the go. I happily recommend KIC UnivAssist to anyone looking to recruit quality students in India!"

- Vlad Neykov, International Admission

"The KIC UnivAssist tour provided the best opportunity to enter the Indian market. KIC staff has the credibility and trust from counselors and administrators of top national and international schools in India. This helped to eliminate the uncertainty of counselors and students to approach an otherwise unknown university. Ganesh's [Kohli, KIC UnivAssist director] passion for U.S. education is extremely apparent in his interaction with students from India and his willingness to educate U.S. institutions about the Indian market and education system."

- Frederico Silva, Assistant Director, International Admission

"[UnivAssist] has extensive networks with high schools throughout India, and is eager to assist U.S. universities in understanding the Indian student and parents’ mindset. The KIC UnivAssist staff are very professional and deliver ambitious, high-value itineraries with exceptional exposure to high school students and counselors. Additionally, KIC has facilitated opportunities for access to the local Indian media, giving us the opportunity to feature IUPUI’s educational program offerings in ways that would not be possible working solely from the United States."

- Sara Kurtz Allaei, Director for International Enrollment & Services

"I was impressed by the professionalism of the KIC staff. They were extremely organized. School visits in three cities in 5 days was fast-paced and hectic, but very rewarding.  Meeting with the administrators, counselors, and the students provided us with the opportunity to reach out to a large pool of prospective students.  Face-to-face interaction opened the door in building partnerships with the Indian schools. Indian hospitality was overwhelming. I would highly recommend U.S. graduate schools to go with the KIC group to recruit students in India. It was a great experience overall." 

- Dr. Ratna Sinha, Associate Director, Graduate School

"RIT has participated in a variety of outreach and recruiting efforts in India for over a decade. By far, the UnivAssist Tour is the first to provide the university with a focused introduction to the enormous Indian high school population that is prepared and poised for undergraduate study in the U.S. I found the tour run with the utmost professionalism and precision, yet it also offered a collegial, fun and well-balanced atmosphere in which to work. I look forward to RIT’s ongoing participation with UnivAssist."

- Jody Lehr, Associate Director, International Outreach

"Traveling on the KIC UnivAssist Fall 2011 Emerging India Tour was a remarkable opportunity for KU to extend its reach into the heart of the growing Indian pool of prospective undergraduate students. We visited excellent carefully selected high schools who warmly hosted our small diverse group of U.S. institutions. The organizers of the tour are well-connected and widely-respected by key secondary school counselors and administrators. Logistically well-planned and coordinated, this fast-paced tour covered a lot of territory in a short amount of time, giving our institutions a means to establish contact with seriously-interested, well-prepared Indian high school students, their counselors and parents. The venue and KIC UnivAssist staff offer a much needed and valued service that connects a wide variety of U.S. schools with students who are suited to our campuses. KIC staff are professional, ethical and responsive to the needs and feedback of the U.S. institutions. Students, counselors and parents trust this group’s integrity and knowledge of the U.S. system and educational options available here."

- Daphne Johnston, Associate Director, International Undergraduate Admissions

“Although there are numerous other options, KIC UnivAssist has become our essential partner for undergraduate recruitment in India. Their tours give us unprecedented access to key high schools in both established and emerging market areas, and the small group format adds tremendous value.  Ganesh Kohli and Swaraj Nandan are well-known and trusted by Indian high school counselors, and the comfort level we feel in working with them is remarkable. KIC UnivAssist does things the right way.” 

- Dr. Joe Potts, Associate Dean of International Programs
