College guide
Where to study, and what it takes to get in
Institutions grouped by what they lead to, each linked to the careers its courses actually reach. Entrance exams named, fees labelled with how well we have checked them.
This database is early, and says so
32 institutions so far, against the tens of thousands in India. We are adding them with sources attached rather than generating a large list quickly — a directory of 25,000 colleges with invented fees is worth less than a short one with real ones, and does more damage.
Every fee currently shown is an editorial estimate and is labelled as such wherever it appears. None are presented as checked when they are not.
