PhD Research & Mentoring Services — Transparent Pricing
Expert guidance when you need it. Transparent pricing when you decide to proceed.
Start with a free consultation. Tell us where you are stuck, and we'll recommend the support that actually fits your research stage. No consultation fee. No obligation.
Every price on this page buys mentoring, review, analysis, interpretation, structuring or editing — never authorship. We do not write theses or papers for scholars, and we do not guarantee publication, thesis approval or a PhD outcome.
All prices are in Indian Rupees (₹) and inclusive of GST — the price you see is the price you pay.
Free consultation first. You decide second.
We offer transparent starting prices for individual services and selected mentoring packages. Final pricing depends on the scope of support required — and you always see it before you commit.

Services we quote after the consultation
A few services vary too widely in scope to publish an honest starting figure — among them data collection, systematic literature review, PRISMA, meta-analysis, Turnitin guidance, citation management and formatting. We would rather quote these accurately after understanding your requirement than publish a number that would not survive contact with your research.
Why two scholars pay different amounts for the same service
Nothing here is a hidden fee — these are simply the things that change how much mentoring your research actually needs.
Your stage
Topic and proposal support is different from analysis, writing or viva preparation. We scope to where you actually are.
Complexity
A straightforward survey study and a multi-construct SEM or mixed-methods design call for different depth of mentoring.
Timeline
How soon you need to finish shapes the intensity and pace of the mentoring we plan with you.
Research method
Quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods studies each need different specialist expertise from our team.
Required mentoring
A single stage or end-to-end guidance — you decide the scope, and only pay for the support you actually use.

What you get for the price
Affordable, expert, transparent and human-led — the commitments behind every figure on this page.
Your authorship, always
We mentor, review, analyse, edit and structure — you remain the sole author of your work. It stays compliant with your university's policies.
One dedicated mentor
You work with a single senior mentor who knows your topic and timeline — never a rotating queue of anonymous writers.
A reply within one working day
Every query, draft and question gets a considered response within one working day — usually much sooner on WhatsApp.
Skills you keep for life
You leave able to design studies, run your own analyses and defend your work independently — mentoring, not dependency.
Aligned to your exact format
Proposals, synopses and theses follow your university's, UGC/AICTE's or target journal's precise structure and style.
Honest, ethical guidance
No guaranteed-publication promises, no ghostwriting, no invented reviews — only transparent mentoring you can trust.
Ethical, compliant guidance: We provide academic support, mentoring, analysis, editing and structuring — not authorship. Your work stays compliant with university policies.
Questions scholars ask before they book
Is the consultation really free?
Yes — completely. There is no consultation fee, no deposit and no card details. You get a 15-minute conversation with a senior mentor about where you are and what you actually need, whether or not you go on to work with us.
Do I have to purchase a service after the consultation?
No. Plenty of scholars leave a consultation with a clear plan and carry it out themselves, and that is a perfectly good outcome. We don't chase, upsell or pressure anyone after a call.
Are these fixed prices?
The mentoring packages are fixed at the price shown. Individual services are published as starting prices, because the honest answer depends on your scope — the same service can be a focused review for one scholar and several weeks of mentoring for another. Every price is inclusive of GST, so nothing is added at the end, and your exact figure is confirmed in writing before any work begins.
Why do some services say "starting from"?
Because scope genuinely varies. A methodology for a single-construct survey study and one for a mixed-methods design with three instruments are different pieces of work. Rather than quote one price and revise it later, we publish the floor and confirm the exact figure after we've seen your requirement.
Can I purchase only one service?
Yes. Every service is available standalone — many scholars come to us for one stubborn stage, such as SmartPLS analysis or a chapter review, and handle the rest themselves.
Can I combine multiple services?
Yes, and it is often more sensible than buying stages one at a time. If your requirement spans several stages we will usually suggest a package or long-term mentoring instead, and tell you when that works out better for you.
Do you offer long-term PhD mentoring?
Yes — 6-month PhD mentoring at ₹39,999 and Complete PhD Mentoring at ₹69,999. Both give you one senior mentor who knows your work, with monthly guidance, chapter feedback and progress reviews.
Do you provide thesis writing?
No. We do not write theses, chapters or papers for scholars, and no price on this page buys authorship. We mentor, review, structure, analyse, interpret and edit — you remain the sole author of everything you submit, which is what keeps your degree safe.
Do you guarantee publication?
No, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. Acceptance is decided by journal editors and peer reviewers, not by us. What we can do is help you target credible indexed journals, strengthen the manuscript and respond to reviewers properly.
Do you guarantee a PhD outcome?
No. Your degree is awarded by your university on the strength of your own work and defence. We can make you a markedly better-prepared researcher; we cannot and will not promise a thesis approval, a submission date or a doctorate.
Tell us where you're stuck.
We'll help you identify the right level of research support — without charging you for the consultation.
