Hi Adithyaa. The basic responsibility of an educational consultant includes administering career-related exams, providing career advice, and helping students fill out forms and applications when applying for colleges or universities. The major role an educational consultant plays is that of finding out the need of the student(s); after which he/she will embark on research to discover areas that need to be improved upon. They also help students in their choice of school and help them in understanding the admission process of the school.
