How College Reviews are Helping Parents Decide the Best College for their Children
by businesswireindia.com

Business Wire India The times have changed and so has the perception of
students as well as
parents. There was a
time when the
well-being and
reputation of a
college was
determined solely by the
placements it provided but as
per the latest trends, a
major chunk of focus
is laid on the
student reviews, the functioning of
the educational i
nstitute, and
the overall purview as
to how
does the Institute operate, and CollegeDunia is
focusing on
the same.
With as
much as
1.75 Lakh
reviews spread over 30,000 colleges throughout the country, CollegeDunia plays host to one of
the largest College Review Platforms out in
the country, and it wasn’t easy
crossing the milestone of 1.5 Lakh
reviews for the
company.
Mr.
Sanjay Meena, Business Head at
CollegeDunia terms, “If we
look at the
Education Industry of 5 years ago, we could
notice that
the major focus was
laid on
how good the
college looked, and how good of a
placement it
provided. The generation now is
more focused on
receiving a quality education and this can
be achieved only through a
good faculty and a
practical exposure.”
In order to
understand if
the college actually provides quality education, hosts a
good faculty, hosts a
healthy placement scenario, provide good scholarships, and
has an
excessive outreach in
the cultural and other co-curricular activities, one
would have to get in touch with
the alumni or the
current students of that
college. Considering that each
student has his eyes on 50
colleges, and if
he gets in
touch with 2
students of each
college, it would lead to
the formation of
100 cross-connections for each
student. This in all
would be extremely cumbersome. This is where
CollegeDunia comes into play as it
takes in the
detailed reviews by current students as well as
alumni and displays it on
the website along with the
college information. The users can get to
know the alumni’s point of
view of these
colleges in one
go.
The genuineness of
reviews always poses a
big question, especially when the
count is
such. In that regard, CollegeDunia keeps a
special check on
the reviews it receives. The company verify the
student details with the
Institutions for
which, the
review is
written and
also audits the
details of the
reviews. Each review has to go through an
approval process for this regard.
The recent organization of
Revicon –
India’s Largest College Review Competition by CollegeDunia has also
helped in
increasing the
number of
reviews on
the platform. The tremendous response received by the competition has assured CollegeDunia as a
trusted portal for checking genuine college reviews. These college reviews are now helping shape the future of
the children. Even the
parents are
keeping a
regular check on
reviews of the
colleges they want their
student to get admission in.
As
per Mr.
Sahil Chalana, founder, CollegeDunia.com, “With the
recent transformation of
CollegeDunia into the largest College Review Platform, we
have observed a
varied pattern. There is an increase in the
traffic of
people lying in the age
group of
40-60, mostly being counted as
parents. It
has been observed that a lot of
parents have been checking these reviews in order to
be sure of the
college they are
planning to
send their children to.”
It
won’t be wrong if
we mention that CollegeDunia has done a
tremendous job of bringing College
Reviews close to the
aspirants, and has made the
tedious task of
choosing the best college easier for
parents as well as
students.
