A new web portal provides a common prospectus for colleges across India
The idea is simple: to provide a single window system to an extremely scattered business. Studynation.com (formerly known as Studytimes.com),an education portal,is out with College Prospectus Marketplace,a first-of-its-kind feature which will enable students to access prospectus of educational institutes across India at the click of a mouse. Moreover,the prospectus will be available at discounted rates.
After in-depth research,we came to know that there are around 200 recognized universities,nearly 8,000 premier colleges and approximately 900 polytechnics in the country. Around 4.7 million students enrolled in regular university level courses alone,and the entire process of getting the prospectus and applying for the courses is extremely exhausting and time consuming. Studynation.com endeavors to make the application process as simple as possible for students, says Vivek Pahwa,CEO,Studynation.com. With a database of over 25,000 colleges and over 4,00,000 courses,the website plans to add more than 50 colleges on the marketplace by next year. Prospectus Marketplace will serve as a one-stop shop wherein students can log in and avail college prospectus of different colleges and courses. They can pay for the prospectus which will be delivered at their doorstep. Students will be able to communicate directly with the college about availability of courses,number of seats,eligibility criteria,and prospectus rates, says Pahwa. The online education market today generates about $200 million in revenue and industry experts expect it to touch $1 billion by the end of the decade.
