Payal Chandra Roy has 15 years of experience in international education, writing on three areas that students from Nepal navigate when planning to study abroad: English proficiency tests, course selection and application documents. She covers IELTS and the Duolingo English Test, writes on standalone course guides across disciplines, and covers the application documents that accompany university applications including Letters of Recommendation, Statements of Purpose, academic essays and CVs.
Her background is practical in a specific way. She began as a student counsellor advising students directly, then moved into training and developing counsellors across AECC's network. Her articles address the specific challenges students from Nepal face: IELTS band requirements for Australian, UK and Canadian universities, how to select a course when the same discipline is available across multiple destinations, and how to write an SOP that works for a Nepali student applying internationally for the first time.
With over 1,000 students helped and more than 464,000 article views across the AECC platform, Payal's content covers the questions Nepali students ask most consistently when preparing for English proficiency tests, choosing a course and putting together their application documents. She holds an MBA in Marketing and is based at AECC's offices.
