I would like to congratulate and thank Mr Naveen Chopra and his entire team
of fantastic counsellors for doing an awesome job. Right from when you
walk into the office, the professional and positive attitude of the staff is
commendable. Especially if I talk about my counsellor, Ms Sandhya
Jhamtani, whose hands on experience and knowledge of UK universities
is exceptional. Because of her I was a successful recipient of £5000

We started with this course in January and we are now in the last
week of the first semester. I have learnt a lot of things. We had a
fairly detailed course module in which we were made to do research
which was new to me. We gained knowledge of how to work in a
practical world and were taught presentation skills. The teachers are
really nice and helpful. They clear our doubts regularly and we can
also call them without any hesitation. The counsellors at The Chopras
too have helped us with selecting the universities and the courses and
have been guiding us through the entire process. As I am halfway
through my course now, I am feeling confident enough to adjust in the
UK.

Ever since I enrolled in this programme I have learnt a great deal from my
Professors, Dr Rakesh Chopra and Prof Gurbir Singh Khera. They both
helped me a lot and gave me a better understanding of all the business
modules. The Chopras Institute of Professional Education provided us an
excellent environment for studying. The Chopras counsellors are also very
co-operative and helped us a lot in knowing about the universities and the
