AEC Edu Consultants is a study abroad consultancy in Multan, built on a simple idea that families deserve the honest version of what studying abroad costs, and what the degree will actually be worth when it’s finished.

Mr Adeel founded this firm after years spent placing students in universities across the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and Europe – and after watching too many families in southern Punjab hand their savings to agents who promised visas they were in no position to deliver. Others came back worse off still, holding degrees their own professional councils in Pakistan would not recognise. The approach here is deliberately different. Fewer files each intake, so none are assembled in a rush the week before a deadline. Degree recognition checked before an application fee is paid, not after. Fees stated plainly at the start, including what happens to them if a visa is refused. And when a plan doesn’t make sense for a student, we say so, even in the cases where saying so costs us the file.
