The winter season is over in India. But even a more terrible season is now here. The Exam Season! Soon it will give rise to the stressful illness called the Board Exam Fever. And when the young people get over that, they will face the terrible trouble of finding a good college and a suitable course for themselves. Parents will be forced to run here and there with their young kids till the kids are finally settled in a college. And all that will mean a string of stressful and exhausting days and a maze of confusing options, queries and solutions.
Who said only studying was hard? Even getting admission in a school or college is not an easy task! No, not even getting your toddler in a nursery school. Even that is getting harder day by day. While I can’t help you in that, I can tell you about a website that can make your search for a suitable college and course a lot easier.
This website is collegedunia.com.It is owned by Collegedunia Web Pvt. Ltd. based in Delhi. It is a comprehensive portal offering information for 20,000 colleges and 6000 courses. The aim of the website is to make it easier for students and their parents to find out the most to-the-point and relevant information about various colleges and courses in one place. The information that the website offers ranges from the address, contact details, reservation criteria, courses being offered by a particular college, the groups and societies active in that college, its placement performance and lot more.
The Homepage of the website also displays snippets of articles like How to Apply for JEE Mains 2015 and other such topics that students will find useful and helpful. At the bottom, you will see links to the top colleges in various categories. So if you are looking for the best college without any worry about location or fee, just scroll straight down and look for the best colleges in field of your choice. The links at the bottom also include Top Entrance Exams in India and also the top colleges in major states and cities of India.
What I liked best about this website is the wealth of information it provides in one single place and the ease of navigating through it, thanks to its brilliant user interface. Whether you want to know about the Best Management Colleges in India or about medical, Arts, Pharmacy and engineering colleges, you can go straight to the category of your choice by clicking at the relevant tab right there on the home page. Or you can search using the big search bar. This search bar can prove handy if you are looking for say medical colleges in a particular location. Once you are in the category of your choice, you can narrow down your search further by using filters like annual fee, Specialization, affiliated universities and so on. The website will show you all the colleges available matching your chosen criteria. Just click on the college of your choice and go through all the information that the website provides about this.
The collegedunia website displays the rating of all the colleges and you can even apply to the colleges of your choice right from the website.
Of course, this isn’t the only website of its kind. You can also find relevant information about colleges and courses using ERNET (Education and Research Network). They also provide plenty of relevant information. You can search for various courses and colleges in it. For example, if you want information about IIM B, you can get it at ERNET. But I found the interface of collegedunia much easier and user-friendly and the information more extensive and easy to reach. The wealth of information that you can find about colleges on collegedunia is really impressive. From contact details, address, location map to ratings and awards that the college has received. Even information about college alumni and infrastructure can be found on it.
