What is CollegeNearby?

  1. One. It is a single app where an Indian student can find a college, a job, an internship, an overseas course, an education loan and a place to live.
  2. Two. Everything is matched by AI to your marks, budget, language and distance from home — not to whoever advertises the most.
  3. Three. Students pay nothing. Verified institutes and employers fund the platform, which is why there is no premium plan to buy.

What students say

    Rahul VermaFresher, Lucknow

    Fatima SheikhStudy abroad applicant, Hyderabad
