Pallabi was very insightful and helpful. It was an introductory call so she explained the process to me nicely and gave me few pre requisites before starting my PhD journey which I found very helpful. I'm looking forward to work with Pallabi :)

I found my session with Pallabi Ma’am to be incredibly insightful and encouraging. Right from the beginning, she took the time to patiently understand my educational background, professional journey, and aspirations for the future. Her ability to listen and ask the right questions made me feel heard and supported. She then shared a thoughtful overview of suitable institutions and countries and valuable, personalised insights that I might not have otherwise considered. Her guidance helped me look at my plans for pursuing a master’s abroad from a more informed and practical perspective. Even though this was our very first conversation, her approach made it feel like a well-guided mentorship session. I truly appreciate her clarity and support, and I look forward to further building on this discussion.
Are you an ambitious Master’s or PhD student looking to study in Germany, Switzerland, or the UK? Whether you're applying, preparing for the move, or navigating academic life abroad, I’m here to help you succeed.
I bring nearly a decade of experience as a PhD researcher, educator, and mentor in Germany, along with firsthand insights into the challenges of studying abroad—academic pressure, bureaucracy, managing finances, cultural adaptation, and everything in between.
My own academic journey has been shaped by some of the India’s most prestigious institutions. I completed my education at Lady Shri Ram College for Women (B.A. Journalism), Delhi School of Economics (M.A. Sociology), and Jawaharlal Nehru University (M.Phil, Sociology) along with receiving the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) from the Ministry of Education, India.
I was then awarded the DAAD scholarship to pursue my PhD in Anthropology in Germany. I was also fortunate to receive the Felix Scholarship (SOAS, London) and the Swiss Government Excellence PhD Scholarship (University of Zurich) and qualified for the interview round of the Commonwealth Scholarship.
Post-PhD, I spent four years as Assistant Professor and Program Coordinator at Europe’s leading institution for South Asian Studies—the South Asia Institute, Heidelberg University—where I guided numerous international students through the academic maze of higher education abroad.
