About First Apply
Who We Are
First Apply is a professional education consulting and career advisory firm that guides students and working professionals in making informed decisions about higher education in India and abroad. We work with individuals at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, helping them navigate complex education choices across One-year and Two-year MBA programs, as well as MS, UG, and MBBS pathways across global destinations. Our focus is not limited to admissions alone. We help clients understand which academic path aligns best with their profile, career goals, and long-term outcomes, and then support them through the application journey with clarity and purpose.
Why First Apply Was Created
Choosing an education path today is more complex than ever.Students and working professionals are faced with a wide range of choices — multiple countries, hundreds of institutions, varied course formats, and constantly changing admission requirements. While options have increased, clarity has not. We observed that many individuals approach higher education decisions feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or influenced by incomplete information. In many cases, decisions are driven by rankings, peer pressure, or urgency, rather than a clear understanding of career outcomes and long-term relevance.
The Gap We Identified
In the current education consulting landscape, we noticed a common pattern:
- The focus often begins with applications, not understanding the individual
- Advice is frequently generic, regardless of profile differences
- Emphasis is placed on quick admits, not long-term suitability
- Career implications after education are rarely discussed in depth
As a result, many students enter programs without full clarity on whether the path truly aligns with their aspirations, preparedness, or long-term goals.
Our Vision & Mission
Vision
To be a trusted career and education advisory platform that empowers students and professionals to make confident, informed education decisions in India and abroad.
Mission
To provide honest, personalised, and outcome-oriented guidance that helps individuals choose the right education pathways and achieve meaningful long-term career goals.
How We Work / Our Approach
Our approach is career-first and personalised
We begin by understanding each client’s background, goals, and readiness before recommending any course, country, or institution. Based on this evaluation, we provide structured guidance across shortlisting, applications, SOPs, and interviews—ensuring every step is aligned with the individual’s career aspirations.

MBA Admissions
One-Year & Two-Year MBA in India and Abroad
An MBA is one of the most consequential career decisions a professional makes. Whether pursued in India or abroad, a successful MBA outcome depends not only on admission, but on choosing the right program, at the right time, for the right career goals.
At First Apply, we help professionals approach MBA admissions strategically—by aligning career direction, profile strengths, and long-term outcomes before applications begin . Our experts evaluate applicant's profile and help applying in institutions such as Indian School of Business and select Indian Institutes of Management executive/ one-year formats. For global applicants, we help assess suitability across European and international business schools.
Our MBA Advisory Philosophy
Our MBA advisory process is built around helping candidates understand:
- Why an MBA makes sense for them now
- Which format fits their experience (one-year vs two-year)
- How different geographies impact post-MBA outcomes
- What kind of leadership story their profile genuinely supports
- Only after this clarity do we move into execution.

2. MBA Format Selection
