Verified recognition · Ireland & UK
Officially listed by Irish & UK universities as an authorised India agent.
Any consultancy can say “we work with this university.” Far fewer appear on the university’s own website. The Mentors Circle is named as an authorised education agent for India on the official pages of eight universities across Ireland and the UK — and every one is linked below so you can check for yourself.
What this means for you
Why an official listing helps you.
A listing isn’t just a badge for us — it’s a safeguard for you. Here’s what changes when you apply through an agent the university has actually approved.
Vetted by the university, not self-claimed
An official listing means the university itself checked and approved us to represent it in India. You’re trusting their decision — not just our marketing.
Your application goes through a recognised channel
Files from authorised agents are handled through the university’s official route — so your application arrives from a source the admissions team already knows and trusts.
Advice you can hold us accountable to
An approved agent has a real relationship and reputation to protect with each university — so the guidance you get on courses, fees and eligibility stays honest and grounded.
Proof you can check in 30 seconds
Every university below links to its own agent page. Verify us yourself before you trust anyone with your applications, your visa file, and years of tuition.

Why this page exists
Independent proof beats a claim.
When we say we’re recognised by a university, you shouldn’t have to take our word for it. That’s why every listing here points to the university’s own website: the claim on our site and the listing on theirs can be checked against each other. It’s the same signal a search engine looks for — independent, third-party confirmation — and, more importantly, it’s the reassurance a student and their family deserve before trusting anyone with an application, a visa file, and years of tuition.
Good to know
Questions about official listings.
What does “officially listed agent” mean?
It means the university itself names The Mentors Circle on its own website as an authorised education agent or representative for India. This is different from a consultancy simply claiming a “partnership” — a listing is published and controlled by the university, not by us.
How can I verify these listings myself?
Every listing on this page links directly to the university’s own agent page. Click “View official listing”, then look for our name (some universities list our brand “The Mentors Circle”, Trinity lists our legal entity “JKV Education Management Pvt Ltd”, and University of Limerick prints “The Mentor Circle”).
Why does it matter that a university lists my agent?
An official listing means the university has vetted and approved the agent to represent it in your country. For you, that means your application is handled by a recognised channel; for search engines, it is independent, third-party validation of who we are.
Do you charge students for using an officially-listed agent?
Our university guidance and application support for these institutions is free for students — universities work with authorised agents to reach and support international applicants. Talk to us and we’ll explain exactly how the process works for your chosen university.
