Nanda DS secured a fully funded PhD in History at the University of Leeds with an AHRC – WRoCAH doctoral studentship worth around ₹1.5 crore — covering full fees plus an annual stipend across the award. A result built on the right university and supervisor fit, a strong research proposal, and a well-planned funding application.

He was very friendly and helped me initially to contact professors across various universities in the US and UK. I was fortunate to get a few replies, and we started the application initially for the January intake. Ajay sir helped me with the entire application process — essays, SOPs and proofreading my research proposal. He also helped me identify scholarships to apply for. I am happy to share that I received the AHRC scholarship and will be joining the University of Leeds this fall. I am grateful to sir for all the help, without which I could not have secured this admission and scholarship.

A PhD application is unlike any other. Success depends less on grades alone and more on research fit, a compelling proposal, and the right connection with a potential supervisor — which is exactly where expert PhD Admission Consulting makes the difference.

Choosing the wrong university or supervisor, submitting a weak research proposal, or missing funding deadlines can cost you an entire admission cycle. Strong applicants are often rejected simply because their application did not communicate their research potential clearly.

The result is an application that stands out to admissions committees and funding bodies alike.
