Introduction to CollegeDunia

Deciding on the right college is the second biggest choice of your life — and Collegedunia makes sure you make it the right one. Established by Sahil Chalana in 2014, Collegedunia has become India's go-to college search engine for highest trust, bringing millions of students and parents in touch with verified and authentic information about Indian and foreign higher education colleges.

Selecting a college is a milestone in the life of every student — but in India, it can seem like walking through a blindfold maze. Misinformation, uncertainty, and too many options confuse and stress out students and parents.

The Challenges of CollegeDunia

In 2014, Sahil Chalana thought of turning that around. What if one platform united verified, reliable information regarding every college, course, examination, and scholarship under the same roof? Collegedunia was born to bring that about.

Right from day one, Sahil and his team raised the bar: no half-truths, no misleading jargon, only clean, honest, data-driven content. They assembled a vast library encompassing 27,000+ colleges, 7,000+ courses, 350+ exams, and authentic student reviews — a virtual counselor at every aspiring student's fingertips 24/7 in India.

When students and parents found its worth, Collegedunia was a name on every household's lips. Now, more than 30 million users visit each month, comparing fees, cut-offs, rankings, and placement stats — so no student ever makes a decision on a wild guess again.

Financial Snapshot

The platform also collaborates with institutions, giving them quality leads and data-driven insights, filling the gap between real students and worthy colleges.

By FY23, Collegedunia registered ₹194.83 crore in revenue, becoming India's go-to college search engine.

Institutional Support and Future Prospects

The reason for its popularity is the passion that goes into it. Its team updates courses, admissions, and exam information proactively, keeping in tune with changing trends in education. For students, it means no surprises during exams, no last-minute admission obstacles, and no regret after joining.

Backed by investors such as 3.14 Digital and Alluvium, the mission of Collegedunia is self-evident: to enable students to take intelligent, well-informed choices, and bring quality education within reach of millions of students in India and across the world.

In a nation where millions of people aspire for a brighter future through education, Collegedunia is a constant compass — guiding them towards the correct college, the proper course, and a future based on certainty, not uncertainty.
