Driven by the plight of students exploited by consultancies, Dr. Saurabh Suman founded Suman Brothers Consultancy, distinguishing itself through its integrity and commitment to helping middle-class students pursue education abroad. His consultancy has signed direct official contracts with universities in Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Uzbekistan, Malta, and Poland, providing trustworthy assistance to aspiring students.
Dr. Saurabh Suman is the Director of Suman Brothers Consultancy. He earned his MBBS degree from Ukraine in 2023 and successfully passed the FMGE exam in 2024, qualifying him to practice in India after completing a two-year internship.
He shares that he established the consultancy firm while still in Ukraine due to personal experiences and observations. Having been unable to qualify for NEET and unable to afford admission to a private college in India, he opted to pursue his MBBS in Ukraine. In 2017, while in Ukraine, he witnessed how other consultancies exploited students, often leaving them victims of fraud after investing time and money preparing to study abroad. To combat such exploitation, he founded his consultancy in 2021, aiming to assist middle-class students seeking education abroad.
In February 2022, just before the outbreak of the Russia–Ukraine conflict, Dr Saurabh left Ukraine on 13th February and immediately informed India’s Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) about the seriousness of the situation. Following his communication, the Indian Embassy in Ukraine issued official advisories on 15th February 2022. He points out that at the time, certain embassy decisions seemed influenced by private agents who arranged costly evacuation flights, charging students heavily. By raising his voice early, Dr Saurabh ensured that the concerns of Indian students were acknowledged at the highest level.
His commitment to the nation did not end there. Recently, he also provided critical information to the Indian government regarding universities in Kyrgyzstan. According to him, many of these institutions operate under Pakistani influence, and funds from Indian students indirectly flow to Pakistan. By exposing this, Dr Saurabh demonstrated not only his dedication to education but also his sense of patriotism, working to safeguard both the future of Indian students and the interests of the nation.
Raised in Patna, he attended St. Karen’s Secondary School but left due to his rebellion against what he saw as unfair rules. He later joined another school in Hajipur, completing his 10th standard in 2015. Following his father’s transfer to Aurangabad, he finished his 12th standard at R.L.S.Y. College. He excelled academically, securing AIR 107 in NIFT, AIR 366 in CLAT, and a score of 205 in NEET in the same year, though he missed the cutoff marks.
Inspired by his brother’s studies in Ukraine, Dr Saurabh pursued his MBBS there, arriving in September 2017. Witnessing the exploitation of students by consultancies motivated him to start his own. His advocacy for lowering passing marks in one of his university’s exams earned him popularity and valuable contacts, laying the foundation for his consultancy’s expansion.
Today, Suman Brothers Consultancy has grown beyond Ukraine, extending services to multiple countries. Unlike many consultancies that mislead students and fail to provide refunds, his firm stands out for honesty, transparency, and genuine assistance. Official contracts with 10–12 universities are openly displayed on the website and Instagram page.
Having spent six years in Ukraine, he overcame challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and regional conflicts. Despite these hurdles, he successfully passed the FMGE upon returning to India. In the early stages, he faced difficulties in earning students’ trust and building relationships with universities, but through perseverance, he gained support from local governments and ministries. Today, he maintains direct ties with three universities in Georgia, two in Kyrgyzstan, one in Uzbekistan, and one in Russia.
Dr Saurabh draws inspiration from the song “Kar Har Maidan Fateh” and finds peace in reciting the Hanuman Chalisa.
To students aspiring to study abroad, he urges them to verify the authenticity of consultancies by checking for official contracts with universities. He warns against fraudulent agents who demand extra funds for visas or accommodation, and instead advises students to pay fees directly into university accounts. He also emphasises maintaining regular contact with the Indian Embassy while abroad for safety.
To the youth of India, Dr Saurabh advocates honesty as the most powerful tool to eliminate corruption and highlights the importance of integrity in building a brighter future.
