Our Story
Overseas Education Center (OEC) was established with the core objective of helping students in achieving their dreams of overseas education. Since conception in 2003, we have worked to develop our expertise for overseas education and visa formalities. Over the years we have also created a robust network with leading institutions worldwide that gives us the ability to provide better education services to our students.
OEC was founded by Mr Jagat Patel, a graduate of Webster University from the United Kingdom. He is a well-known personality in the education industry in the South Asia region. Before he founded OEC, Mr Jagat Patel spent many years working with the University of Bedfordshire Regional Representatives Office (South-West India). He has an unparalleled knowledge of overseas education and the challenges involved.
Apart from his work at OEC, Mr Jagat Patel is also involved in managing the India office for Bath Spa University as the Regional Director. A sister concern of OEC manages the Regional setup for leading Australian and UK universities.
Why We Started OEC India
Every year, thousands of talented Indian students dream of studying abroad but face numerous challenges: information overload, hidden costs, unreliable guidance, and lack of personalized support. We've seen too many students make costly mistakes or miss opportunities simply because they didn't have access to the right guidance at the right time.
OEC India was born to bridge this gap. We believe that every student deserves transparent, expert guidance that puts their interests first. Our approach goes beyond just securing admissions - we're committed to ensuring long-term success, from the initial university search to graduation and beyond.
