While choosing a college is an important decision in one’s life, it may also be difficult to choose the best one from a variety of possibilities. CollegeDunia, on the other hand, simplifies the process by providing students with all of the information they need to choose an exceptional institution and allows them to make an informed decision. It’s a thorough tool for students who want to explore and compare institutions. It allows students to access all of their information from their phone, tablet, or laptop, giving them a high-quality, user-friendly experience.
In general, Collegedunia has all students and aspirants need to know, from in-depth reviews to quick connections to courses available, tuition, dorm facilities, last-minute news, and a gallery of campus photographs and videos. Its purpose is to provide consumers with a customised experience and constant access to information by providing an experience that is suited to their interests.
It also contains listings of top schools and universities by state and city, as well as a large database of over 55,000 actual student and alumni ratings and reviews. Outlook India, India Today, NIRF, Business Line, SiliconIndia, and The Week are among the organisations that have contributed to the page’s college rankings. It lets students and college seeksers search a database of over 15,000 universities in 20 different fields, from engineering and dentistry to management and aviation.
Growth apparently as marked at various platforms
In the previous fiscal year, Collegedunia, India’s largest education portal, produced more than 73 crore, a nearly 100 percent increase year on year. Shiksha.com, a startup backed by Infoedge, recorded net sales of 53 crores, up 10.8% over the previous year. Although Shiksha has been in the industry for ten years, Collegedunia, a relatively young portal, has filled this hole in four years.
Collegedunia’s growth can be attributed to a consistent increase in visitors, with traffic increasing by 50% year over year. According to Similarweb, in October 2020, Collegedunia had 21 million sessions, whereas Shiksha had 27 million. Collegedunia launched Prepp.in, a government exam preparation website with over 5 million monthly visits, last year, while Shiksha also offers this vertical on the same page, with the government sector accounting for a portion of its traffic.
Establishment if this innovative idea
Collegedunia’s tremendous growth began in December 2014, when Sahil Chalana decided to create a website with a college search engine as well as reviews. Collegedunia leads the category with 3 lac reviews for 17000 degree colleges and universities in India. The founder, a 2010 BITS Pilani graduate, launched India’s Top Education Portal. It has 0.45 million visitors every day. He believed that technology would play a significant part in the transformation of education. The portal is a comprehensive search engine for students, parents, and education industry stakeholders looking for information about the higher education sector in India and around the world. Collegedunia facilitates communication between colleges, students, and parents.
The outstanding talent it has recruited from India’s top business schools and technical institutes is one of the reasons for Collegedunia’s quick growth. IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Kozhikode, IIM Lucknow, IIM Indore, FMS Delhi, MDI Gurgaon, BITS Pilani, DTU, PEC, and other Tier-1 MBA and engineering universities have all engaged over 300 graduates.
Ambition of the portal
The precise and focused content planning of Collegedunia has been critical in strengthening client partner integration. Collegedunia is working on strategic decisions such as which course to start, what the costs should be, the institute’s market projection, and student placement as a result of its high degree of integration. As a result, I’m more than just a business partner; I’m also a strategic advisor.
Collegedunia has established itself as a one-stop shop for students and parents by providing accurate information and updates for over 30,000 schools, 600 tests, and 3 lac authentic reviews for degree institutions and universities in India and around the world.
The Innovative educational portal has risen to the top of the market in less than seven years, because of its user-friendly content, analytical talents, and many revenue streams. The portal’s main competitive advantage is its ongoing industry adaptation and execution of scalable, growth-oriented solutions for its customers. The company’s rapid growth demonstrates this, and given the type of vision it encourages, the growth curve is only expected to extend more.
Conclusion
Contemplation has many implications in India; all that is required is a clear and honest vision. Educational portals and start-ups are doing well since they were formed with the goal of making money while also benefiting society, particularly the younger generation, who represent our country’s future. It will be interesting to see how this portal performs in the near future, as well as how many additional portals of this type come up with more innovative educational concepts.
