WiseAdmit, a company on a mission to make quality education accessible for all, held a media and students conference recently in Nairobi-Kenya, outlining their innovative approach and success stories.
Dr. Rupesh Regmi, Co-founder & CEO and Mr. Gerald Ochieng Ndede, Country Manager, Kenya, shared their vision and the impact WiseAdmit is making on students’ lives.
Dr. Regmi, an Aerospace Engineer with a Ph.D., spent 15 years in China’s education sector. Witnessing the transformative power of education firsthand, he co-founded WiseAdmit in 2022. “We started with a simple goal: to make education accessible to every student globally and removing oppressively barriers ,” Dr. Regmi remarked.
WiseAdmit has been on a mission to make quality education accessible to all through its innovative WiseScore technology, which matches students with the right universities and scholarships.
WiseScore: Matching Students with the Right Opportunities
WiseAdmit’s secret weapon is their AI-powered tool, WiseScore. This platform assesses a student’s eligibility for admissions and scholarships at top universities in China.
Mr. Ochieng Ndede, highlighted the platform’s success on local students. “Since March 2024, students using WiseAdmit have secured over $115,000 in scholarships! This underscores our transformative impact, empowering students to access crucial financial aid and educational opportunities,” he exclaimed.
“At WiseAdmit, we believe that education is transformative. Our mission is to empower future leaders through access to affordable education,” said Dr. Rupesh. The company’s efforts have resulted in helping over 10,000 students turn their academic dreams into reality, often at no cost to the students.
WiseAdmit’s approach goes beyond merely facilitating admissions; it aims to inspire and empower students to become the next generation of global leaders.
Expanding Horizons: China as an Educational Destination
One of the highlights of the conference was the emphasis on China as a burgeoning hub for international education. Chinese universities are rapidly climbing global rankings, offering top-notch programs in fields such as engineering, medicine, and technology.
The conference shed light on China as a lucrative study destination. Dr. Regmi explained. “Compared to Western countries, tuition fees and living costs in China can be significantly lower.” He further emphasized the world-class education offered by Chinese universities, citing Tsinghua University’s ranking at 26th globally and its average tuition fee of $3870 per year.
“The affordability and excellence of these institutions make China an attractive destination for students worldwide,” Dr. Regmi added.
The average annual tuition fee for international students in China ranges from $2,000 to $4,000, significantly lower than in Western countries. This budget-friendly education model, coupled with a vibrant cultural experience and a robust job market, positions China as an ideal place for students to pursue higher education and gain valuable international exposure.

WiseAdmit goes beyond admissions support. They guide students towards flourishing careers. The conference highlighted China’s booming job market, particularly in AI, data science, and renewable energy.
Dr. Regmi, passionate about empowering future leaders, shared the story of Miriam, a Kenyan student who secured a scholarship for an AI degree through WiseAdmit’s platform. “Her journey is a testament to what’s possible when determination meets opportunity,” he remarked.
Innovative Programs and Global Partnerships
WiseAdmit is not just about facilitating access to education; it also focuses on creating meaningful programs and partnerships to enhance the student experience.
Recently, the company announced a new partnership with EquityBCDC Bank in Congo (Kinshasa) to support more students financially and break down barriers to education. “This collaboration will help us support even more students, opening doors to endless possibilities and making our vision a reality,” said Dr. Regmi.
The company’s WiseScore technology is a key part of its success. This AI-based tool helps students assess their eligibility for admissions and scholarships to study at top universities in China, simplifying the application process and enabling informed decisions. “We continuously strive to improve our platform to assist a large population worldwide, aiming to make a positive impact on the world,” stated Dr. Regmi.
