An overseas education consultancy based in Coorg, run by three named people: Jabir KJ (Founder), Fawaz BH (CMO) and Zaheer KJ (CFO), who guide students from Kodagu and across Karnataka to universities in Germany, Italy, the UK, Russia and Europe.
ILMERA Study Abroad was founded on a simple premise: every deserving student should have a clear, honest, supported pathway to a world-class education, regardless of where they come from. As part of ILMERA Group, the consultancy is run by three named, contactable people rather than a call centre.
ILMERA was built by people who went through the process themselves. Founder Jabir KJ is currently studying at the University of Rome Tor Vergata in Italy, and has personally dealt with the applications, the funding paperwork and the visa appointments he now guides students through. That is the difference between advice read from a brochure and advice from someone who has actually filed the documents.
ILMERA Study Abroad guides students to universities across nine destinations: Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovakia, Russia and the GCC. The consultancy specialises in students other consultancies turn away, including those with academic backlogs, a low percentage, or no IELTS, because those are exactly the profiles that Russia, Slovakia, Lithuania and Latvia routinely accept.
ILMERA is based in Coorg and works with students by phone, WhatsApp and video call, so a student in Madikeri, Virajpet, Kushalnagar or Somwarpet gets the same counsellor, the same country-by-country cost breakdown and the same honest eligibility check as a student anywhere else in India.
"To make quality global education accessible to every deserving student, regardless of marks, backlogs or budget, through personalised, honest guidance across Germany, Italy, UK, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovakia, Russia and GCC."
"To become a trusted study abroad consultancy, known for helping every student, including those with low marks or backlogs, find their path to world-class education across nine countries."
ILMERA Study Abroad is based in Coorg and works with students across Kodagu district (Madikeri, Virajpet, Kushalnagar, Somwarpet and Ponnampet) by phone, WhatsApp and video call. The process is the same for every student regardless of location: profile assessment, country and university shortlisting, application filing, scholarship guidance and visa documentation, handled the same way for a student in Kodagu as for one in Bangalore.
Almost every overseas education consultancy that serves Kodagu is headquartered in Bangalore, Mysuru or Mangalore, with Coorg treated as a catchment area rather than a market. In practice that means a student in Virajpet is expected to take a three-to-five hour round trip for a first counselling session, and again for document collection. Specialised advice, such as which German public universities waive IELTS, whether a 58% aggregate qualifies for Italy's DSU, or what a PUC backlog actually rules out, is rarely available locally at all.
ILMERA is based in Coorg. CMO Fawaz BH lives and works in Kushal Nagar, Kodagu, where he also runs an independent SEO consultancy. In practice that means counselling in Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi or English, an understanding of PUC and Karnataka state board marksheets and how foreign admissions offices read them, and someone who knows the district rather than a call centre reading a script.
You call +91 94810 84038, call +91 90195 57427, or WhatsApp +421 944485186 and book a free slot. Founder Jabir KJ or a counsellor reviews your marksheets and budget on a video call and tells you honestly which countries will realistically admit you. Documents are shared digitally; CFO Zaheer KJ verifies them and files your applications. Visa appointments are booked at the relevant consulate, which for most European destinations means Bengaluru or Chennai, and it is the only travel the process requires.
The most common questions we get from Coorg are about studying with a low PUC percentage, routes that skip IELTS, and free or near-free tuition. Public universities in Germany charge little to no tuition but require an APS certificate from Indian applicants and proof of funds in a blocked account. Italy's regional DSU scholarships are income-assessed via ISEE and can cover tuition plus a living stipend. Russia, Slovakia, Lithuania and Latvia accept lower percentages and backlogs and frequently waive IELTS. Which of these fits depends entirely on your actual marksheet, which is what the free consultation is for.
