How Sirjna Works
Sirjna is built as a structured four-phase mentorship for Indian engineers aiming for MS/MEng in the U.S. or Canada.
You begin with a free webinar to understand the process. Then, if you want a personal discussion, book a $25 1-on-1 call (credited if you join).
When you enroll for $349 (tax included), your personalized Sirjna Portal opens — with step-by-step tasks, mentor reviews, and verified resources that carry you from decision to career growth.
Find your phase, choose how to start, and use your portal to stay on track.
Sirjna is more than “immigration consulting” — it’s an engineering-first mentorship for admission and career.
The Four Phases
