Every year several thousand Indian students go to the United States for higher education. A large number of them are from the state of Gujarat. While the entire process of getting admission in the U.S. Universities is very long and complex, other procedural formalities like getting a student visa also require considerable amount of preparation and guidance. There are several private consultants operating in this field but their information is restricted. Not only this but there is a significant gap between reality and perception. Indian students rely upon piecemeal information received from their friends, relatives and consultants and undergo severe cultural shock upon their arrival in US university campus.

Therefore, a very strong need was felt that there should be a center which has credibility and provides authentic and genuine information, guidance and advice to the prospective students for seeking admission in the US. The members of  Indo American Chamber of Commerce (IACC) addressed this issue by organizing few seminars. However, seven successful professionals of Ahmedabad who had been educated in the USA, took the initiative and organized to form Indo American Education Society as a non profit organization under the chairmanship of  Mr. Vishnu Varshney. These members contributed personal funds to the initial corpus to meet the start up expenses and approached US Educational Foundation In India for granting IAES a Satellite Center Status.

USIEF set up in 1950 primarily as a binational organization to administer Indo US Fulbright Exchange Program, undertook in the mid sixties the responsibility of providing Educational Advising Services in Metropolitan cities in India.
