We run the full pipeline — UNITAS admission, COE, visa, flight. Personalised to your profile and home state.
Most Indian agencies sit between you and UNITAS, marking up every step. We are UNITAS's official direct partner — and we own the entire Japan-side operation through our Tokyo sister company.
Official partner of UNITAS Japan since 2012. Your application goes straight to UNITAS admissions — no agent layers, no marked-up fees, no information drift between parties.
Counselling, JLPT training, document prep, UNITAS interview, COE tracking, visa documentation, consulate routing, flight booking, and Japan arrival support. One team, sixteen stages.
Our campus is in Coimbatore, but our students come from Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Delhi, Assam, Goa — every state. We route your visa application to the Japanese consulate that serves your home state.
We don't guarantee COE or visa outcomes — no legitimate firm can. We tell you upfront that N5 is taught by our Indian trainer and that native Japanese instruction starts from N4. You get clarity, not a sales pitch.
Six months, sixteen steps, zero hand-offs. Each stage has a clear deliverable and a specific team member accountable for it.

Monthly stipends for international students already in Japan. Applied via UNITAS after arrival. Selection based on academic performance.
UNITAS awards partial tuition discounts to standout students. Based on Japanese proficiency, attendance, and academic record after first semester.
SBI, HDFC, Axis, and cooperative banks offer education loans for study abroad. We help package documents to improve approval odds for first-time applicants.
UNITAS runs four intakes per year. Every October 2026 applicant follows roughly this timeline, personalised along the way.
