Unfortunately, this startup firm did not take off. But, the whole experience brought Mr. Chalana in close proximity to huge gap that existed between the available data about colleges and the quality of information as sought by the college aspirants. He started Collegedunia with only five people, which has now grown into a hundred- employee team. This number is increasing with more experienced members joining the team. With time Collegedunia has realized the need of a product absolutely catering to the needs of the aspiring college candidates, their parents and peers. Putting strenuous effort to maintain high standards in UI and UX, Collegedunia.com has seen a massive increase in its user base. Number of first time users for Collegedunia.com took a multifold leap from 15000 per month to 1200000 per month. These numbers speak a lot about the company’s growing market share. Presently their only source of revenue is advertisement but they are planning to move for user payments with an online marketplace for preparation material. The company has successfully launched its Mobile App on Android owning to high mobile traffic. Since a big chunk of its user base is from mobile platform, they have a plan to launch an app for iOS. Its Personal Admission Assistant both on Mobile and Desktop, works together in the admission starting from Exam Preparation to College Selection.
This portal has three major sections to cater : College Section, Exam Section and Course Section. The college page offers info on Courses, Fees, Placement, Admission Updates and Reviews. It also has an exam section listing exam from over 18 streams. It offers Practice Papers, Preparation Tips from Expert and Toppers. Its Course Section is still in the development phase but currently it is offering info on over 6000 courses across India with info of average fee, eligibility, course structure, syllabus and career opportunities.
