This app is made for Abroad Inquiry which is a higher study education consultancy firm located in Dhaka, Bangladesh (Please visit www.abroadinquiry.com). Students who are interested to go abroad to pursue higher education may use this app and get assisted by Abroad Inquiry mentors assigned for each country. This app features real-time chatting between students and mentors. Students can fill up the form to apply for higher education. Apart from that students may know about the popular countries across the world to go for higher education. If any student needs help from any mentor to apply for any particular university or to know any information, he can simply book an appointment with the mentor by using this app. Message and appointment booking feature comes with real-time push notifications to notify the users instantly. Abroad Inquiry was born in 2017 from an altruist Facebook group that has helped hundreds of international students pursue higher study abroad worldwide. Abroad Inquiry's a community-based platform run by a group of international students from different countries. Why was the Abroad Inquiry born? The common thing that we noticed is that students are being provided with false information and misleading career guidelines from unauthentic sources, resulting in the refusal of their visa application and career breakthrough. This is not a refusal; we think it’s the death of a dream. At our Abroad Inquiry, we provide all accurate factual information related to higher study abroad that we have acquired from our real-life experience and thorough research. We believe that a current student who has already gone through the hectic study abroad journey can be the best source of information and understand the situation better than others. The information obtained is more authentic than online sources or any other student consultancy firms. Thus, we have built this platform to help upcoming students.
