About IJA Study Consultancy BD
IJA Study Consultancy BD was founded in 2017 by Iban Jamal Ahmed, a University of Dhaka alumnus who later pursued postgraduate education at Mid Sweden University, Sundsvall, Sweden. Fully operational since 2018–2019, IJA has grown into one of Bangladesh’s most recognized consultancies for European and international study destinations.
Iban Jamal Ahmed completed his BBA in Marketing (9th Batch) and MBA in Tourism and Hospitality Management (First Batch) from the Business Faculty of the University of Dhaka, followed by an MBA in Marketing from Mid Sweden University, Sweden. His first-hand experience as an international student in Europe shaped the values that IJA is built on.
“Trust is built through honesty, and success comes through sincerity.”
Iban Jamal Ahmed, CEO & Founder
IJA was also among the first consultancies in Bangladesh to introduce Lithuania, Luxembourg, and Denmark as viable study destinations, reflecting the team’s ongoing commitment to finding the best opportunities for Bangladeshi students beyond the well-trodden paths.
Top Study Destinations, IJA’s Highlighted Countries
The following destinations represent IJA’s deepest areas of expertise, countries where the team has a proven track record in university admissions, documentation, and visa approvals for Bangladeshi students.
