Eleevate Northlight™
Pata hai?Ya lagta hai?
Everyone has an opinion on where you should study. A cousin who went to Canada, a senior on Instagram, an uncle who’s sure about Germany. They all sound certain. None of them has looked at your marks, your course and your budget together.
The Northlight Assessment does. It tells you which countries really work for you, what it will cost in rupees, and what your chances of work look like after the degree. Every answer is derived through a legitimate source.
What you’ll know
Three answers you need before you choose a country.
Most advice mixes these up. Northlight answers each one separately, for every country, based on you.
- 01
Can you get in?
Whether your marks clear what that country asks for, at the level you’re applying for. Your percentage is taken exactly as printed on your marksheet. If anything in your academic history closes a door, you’ll see it. If nothing does, you’ll see that too.
- 02
Is there work after?
How long you get to look for a job once the course ends, how much hiring there is for your subject, and what each government actually publishes about graduates finding work.
- 03
Does the money work?
The full cost in rupees, not just tuition. Living costs, any foundation year, money you need to show or block, and a buffer for when things don’t go to plan. Then the one number your family needs to arrange.
You get your top three countries, in order, with the reasons for each.
Why it matters
Before you spend lakhs, see the whole picture.
It starts with the country you picked.
If your choice holds up, the report tells you so and shows you why. If another country suits you better, you’ll see where yours ranks and what’s pulling it down.
It shows you the real number.
Most families budget for tuition and stop there. Northlight costs the whole plan, including a contingency, and tells you exactly how much is still left to arrange.
It tells you what it ruled out, and why.
Countries that didn’t make your top three are listed with the reason, so you don’t spend the next six months wondering about them.
It helps you pick a country first.
The report doesn’t name universities. Once you know the country, your counsellor builds the university list with you.
Sample report
See what a Northlight report looks like.
This is a sample report for a student planning a bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering in Europe. Every report follows the same structure, built on your own answers, marks and budget.
Your parents
Your parents get a say too.
Your parent answers 12 questions of their own, on their own phone, without seeing your answers. The report then shows where the two of you agree and where you don’t.
Things like whether you’ll come back home after the course usually show up here. Much better to talk about that now than two years from now.
There’s also a section written just for them, with the full costing laid out.
Pehle check. Phir cheque.

Your 30 minutes
Then we sit down and go through it with you.
Every assessment comes with a 30-minute session with your Eleevate counsellor. When you finish the assessment, we email you your report along with a link to book your slot. Bring your parents along.
- Go through your top three and the reasons behind them.
- Ask about anything in the report, especially the parts you didn’t expect.
- Work out how to close any gap in the money.
- Plan what comes next, including your university list.
Everything in the report is research-based facts and our recommendation, for discussion with a counsellor. That’s what you will clarify in the 30-minute session with your expert counsellor.
A straight answer
Do we earn from universities?
Yes, we do. Some universities pay us. Almost every study abroad consultant in India works this way, and we’re no different.
That’s exactly why I had Northlight built the way it is. What we earn isn’t part of it at all, so it can’t push you towards a country because that country suits us. Every student is matched against the same 18 countries in the same way. If a country we earn nothing from is the right one for you, that’s the one at the top of your report.
We don’t publish our terms with universities. What we do give you is the reasoning behind every recommendation, right there in your report, so you can judge it for yourself.

Questions
Before you start.
Who should take it?
Anyone planning a bachelor’s or master’s abroad who hasn’t settled on a country yet. Decide your course first, because the assessment needs it. And if you’ve already paid a deposit to a university, it’s a bit late for this to change much.
How long does it take?
About 8 to 14 minutes, up to 71 questions. Your parent answers 12 more on their own phone.
Will it tell me which university to apply to?
No. It tells you which countries make sense for you and why. Your counsellor builds the university list with you after that.
Is it a test I can fail?
No. Nobody passes or fails. It looks at your plan, not at how clever you are.
Why not just ask ChatGPT?
A chatbot sounds sure too. It answers the question you thought to ask. The report asks the ones you didn’t know to ask, and shows the source where necessary.
Do you take commission?
Yes. The full answer, in my own words, is just above.
Can I ask you something without taking the assessment?
Yes. DM us the word LAGTA on Instagram with whatever you’ve been told. We’ll answer it on our Instagram page, with the source, and without your name.
Jaisa hai, waisa.
Where you actually stand, as it is. Some of it you may not like. All of it will help you decide.
