StudentIndia December 28, 2007
Posted by Pallav Sharda in : Education , trackbackStudentIndia was launched as an individual effort in December 2004 to catalog the career and education options present in India. The site has grown in terms of content since- the founder claims a database of 16,000 course details (like institution address, hostel etc) across 300 universities. There was a navigation choice for almost everything related to education- from GRE/GMAT counseling to Educational Loans, Visa Guidance, Scholarship info and whatnot.
StudentIndia won the 2006 Manthan Award in the education category. Contrary to my expectations, compete snapshot usage data doesn’t show much activity (only around 600 hits per month- although they are rough estimates at best). The site serves a useful purpose, but it doesn’t look like there is business model in place. It seems like a good acquisition target for one of the Indian horizontal portals (timesofindia, rediff and others) trying to get a foothold in the student-profile user base.
