SK Education Consultancy was built in 2014 by a Bhutanese couple who had just finished their own master's degrees abroad — and who knew exactly how confusing the process is when nobody is guiding you.
SK Education Consultancy is one of the premier education firms in Bhutan, committed to providing students the services and choices they need to pursue higher education.

The idea, formed abroad
A young Bhutanese couple move to Australia to study, both completing MBAs at the University of Canberra. Navigating admissions, visas and arrival on their own, they see how much easier it would be with someone who had done it before.

SK opens in Thimphu
Samden Kuendup Education Consultancy & Placement Firm is established in Bhutan, built on a simple principle: counselling should be free, advice should be independent, and every application should be treated like your own.
- 2014–today
Ten years, thousands of students
SK becomes one of Bhutan's premier education firms — around 10,000 free one-on-one counselling sessions given, more than 6,500 students enrolled and supported overseas, and over 90% of applications successfully acknowledged.

The Dhaka branch opens
SK brings the same process, the same partner institutions and the same standard to Bangladesh. Nothing is being invented from scratch — a decade of practice is simply arriving in a new city.
Direct partnerships with 64 institutions worldwide
Transparency, not sales pressure
We tell you what a course actually costs and what it is actually worth. If a destination is wrong for you, we say so — even when recommending it would pay us more.
Every file treated as our own
No application is handed to a junior and forgotten. We chase institutions, catch problems before lodgement, and keep you informed at every stage.
Direct partnerships, not middlemen
We represent our partner universities and colleges directly. Your file goes straight to the admissions team — nothing is passed down a chain of sub-agents.
Care that outlasts the invoice
Free pre-departure classes, airport pickup, and introductions to students already there. Our involvement does not end when the visa is granted.
Dhaka, Bangladesh
Our Bangladesh branch offers the full service — free counselling, admissions, visa lodgement, financial guidance, pre-departure preparation and travel assistance.
Thimphu, Bhutan
4th Floor, Dewa Khangzang Building, 199 Chang Lam SE, Thimphu — the original office, where the partnerships, processes and track record behind the Bangladesh branch were built.
Tell us your grades, your budget and where you want to end up. We will tell you honestly what is possible — and what is not.
