Growth of Scholar Strategy as well as my books was recently covered in an exclusive interview with Crazy Engineers. Give it a read to see how my own journey has unfolded. As I keep mentioning, it is really important to introspect and figure out what career path can make you happy. So, I hope this story into my own growth will provide you with additional inspiration and insight.

I was a mid-career professional in my early thirties when I started my journey with Scholar Strategy (SS). Tired with the monotonous job, and frustrated with corporate politics, I was probably going through a ‘mid-career’ crisis, not really sure where I wanted to go. This is when Nistha came to my rescue and trust me she is the best counsellor I have ever had in my life! Having spent 12 years in IT industry, I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to do an MBA and that’s when Nistha helped me f… Read more

I decided to join Scholar Strategy based on Nistha’s credentials and I am very happy with the services provided so far. She had a one on one telephonic conversation with me which helped me put to perspective what I really wanted from my Masters. In the process she meticulously has analyzed the type of person I am and whether my choice of Courses and Institutions are actually relevant to my future career goals. After a thorough analysis she helped me pick the right mix of Universities keeping in … Read more

I know that coming from US undergrad, I had advantages over many other students. But, I wouldn’t have received these results without your counseling and all the information I got from Scholar Strategy. You really pushed me to get the best out of me when writing my SOP and resume! I look forward to paying back by contributing to the Scholar Strategy community in the future. I first discovered Scholar Strategy through a friend in HK. She is from India, and she told me she heard great things a… Read more

I cannot thank Nistha enough for her guidance regarding LOR’s, SOP, University selection and finally being a pillar of support at all times. The best part is she understands the whole range of emotions students go through during the application process. Most people don’t, because they themselves never faced such a situation. Scholar Strategy being an online venture is very convenient for everyone I guess. It saved me a lot of time. The only thing I needed to do whenever I had any query was to… Read more
Neel Chatterjee, UMN (EE)
The time I approached Nistha, honestly I was skeptic about my profile and admission prospective. Due to tight schedule at job, I couldn’t do much justice to my Gre score and was pretty late for my application process(December). But following Nistha’s guidelines, I have been able to crack seven universities as of now which includes TAMU(for comp engineering). Best part of scholarstrategy is Nistha will make you work on your SOP/Profile in a manner that important aspects of your profile are well h… Read more
Shreya, TAMU, CU (CE), UCI Embedded
Nistha is very critical with the SOP and the LORs. She pushes students to get the best out of them. This might sometimes suggest hectic and students might feel that whatever they’ve already written would be enough. But, trust me, Nistha knows what is correct. She has been in this industry for a quite a while now. Nistha pays a lot of importance to the fact that the overall profile including resume, SOPs and LORs are an important aspect to the college application. Merely having a good GRE/TOEFL w… Read more

A very good approach to guidance..no spoon feeding. The best part about Scholar Strategy is the quality of mentoring by Nistha and support directly from the current students.
Khushboo, Syracuse, UTD (CS)
I have worked with Nistha on my MS applications for last 3 months. From day 1 she is available on phone and emails. She reviewed my SOP, resume and other documents thoroughly. All her suggestions have been beneficial to me. Thank you Nistha, for all the guidance you have provided to me.
Sumanth Yella, USF (MIS)
Most places don’t encourage you to apply to ambitious schools – they ask you to only apply to universities where you will almost certainly get in (the ‘safety’ schools), so that they will definitely have a ‘success’ story. Nistha’s different. Not only does she encourage you to apply to ambitious schools, she also helps you narrow down on the ones which match your interests best. Her advice is encouraging, and also practical at the same time; you can definitely see that she’s been through all thi… Read more
N Saxena, Harvard, UCSC (CS)
I am in awe of the value and momentum Nistha and ScholarStrategy offered to progression of my calling. Those SOP critiques and university evaluations deepened my belief that a person can do more than he assume. The structure of SS helped me realize that aspirations need perseverance and a strategy. Thank you so much again and Keep transforming lives!
