About

Shiksha helps students research colleges, courses and exams for higher education in India and abroad. Its college directory includes admission criteria, eligibility, fees, placements, rankings, reviews, scholarships and accepted exams.

Shiksha Assistant counselling recommends colleges using factors such as scores, budget, location and profile. The app adds college and course search, exam information, alerts, personalized recommendations, and papers, syllabi and dates for 600+ exams. Shiksha describes a catalog of more than 60,000 institutions and 375,000 courses, and separately says its site and app host information on 800+ exams, 50,000+ institutions and 400,000+ courses.
