My name is Jatinkumar Soni, and my son Jinansh Soni is going to the UK for his studies. We applied through SI-UK with the support of Ms. Rinku Patdiwala, and I must say the experience has been excellent. She guided us throughout the entire process, answering all our queries patiently and without any hesitation.

What I really appreciate is that she was not only in touch with my son but also made sure parents were kept involved at every step. This gave us confidence and peace of mind during the process. It is truly a great quality of SI-UK that they value parents’ involvement along with the student.
