A Dhaka consultancy built around one promise: no student flies on a weak file
Al Razzak Education Consultancy (AREC) guides Bangladeshi students through admission, scholarship and student visa processing for Malaysia, Russia, Bulgaria and North Cyprus. We work with a small set of universities we know deeply, rather than a long list we don't.
- 📍 Hatirjheel, Dhaka
- 🎓 60+ partner universities
- 🛂 98% visa success
- 🗓️ Since 2019
Started because too many students were sold the wrong country
AREC was founded by Jannatul Maruf Shaikath after seeing families in Dhaka pay for admissions to universities that were never a fit — wrong budget, wrong subject, sometimes not even recognised back home. We built the opposite: a small consultancy that knows four destinations properly and refuses files that will not stand up at the embassy.
- Free counselling and free university application
- Written cost sheet before any payment
- Only WHO / EU / government-recognised universities
- Two mock visa interviews before your appointment
- Support continues after you land — not just until you pay

Four rules we do not bend
They cost us files every month. They are also why our students land.
Honesty before enrolment
If a country or course is wrong for you, we say so — even when it costs us the file.
One counsellor, start to finish
The person who first sits with you is the person who follows your visa decision to the end.
Written, not verbal
Every cost, deadline and requirement goes to you in writing before you commit a single taka.
Family included
We brief parents in Bangla, in person, because studying abroad is a family decision.
Seven years, four destinations

AREC opens in Dhaka with a single desk and three Malaysia admissions.
