Bindu Mary Idicula has spent over 20 years in international education, writing on three areas that students from Nepal navigate when planning to study abroad: standardised tests, course selection and application documents. She covers TOEFL, SAT, ACT, OET, GRE and GMAT, writes on standalone course guides across disciplines, and covers the application documents students need including Letters of Recommendation, Statements of Purpose, academic essays and CVs.
Her articles address the questions that come up most in student consultations in Nepal. Which test is required for a specific destination. How preparation timelines work alongside application deadlines. What a particular course looks like across Australian, UK and Canadian universities. What makes an SOP work for a Nepali student applying internationally for the first time. These are the specifics that matter when planning a study abroad application from Nepal.
Her articles across the AECC platform have been read over 650,000 times, covering the full range of questions students bring to consultations, from which exam to take first to how to write a CV that works for an international university application. She holds an MBA in Marketing and is based at AECC's Tamil Nadu offices.
