Who Collegify works with
Collegify works with students in Years 9 to 12 and their families on undergraduate applications. It also works with college students and early professionals on postgraduate degrees, and with career professionals applying to MBA programmes. Clients are based across India and Indian families abroad.
How Collegify works
Each applicant starts with a review of current class, degree or work, academic record, interests, finances, preferred countries and deadlines. The team then compares courses and universities against the applicant's plans. Essays go through questions, drafts and close edits, and the ideas and final voice stay with the applicant. Each application gets a plan, a review schedule and a submission check. Mock interviews come with direct feedback. Guidance is one to one.
Background and qualifications
Collegify began in 2011 as an independent practice guiding students and families through admissions. It grew through word of mouth, family recommendations and referrals from former students. The work now covers undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA applications, plus career mapping and guidance for Indian families abroad. The practice has been covered by Bloomberg Linea, The Economic Times, NDTV, Business Standard, The Times of India and Outlook India. Clients have gone on to schools such as the University of Toronto and UCSD.
