Four numbers worth knowing before admission season
Pulled from the same records as the course guides, so the homepage can never disagree with them.
Why this site exists
Most career websites in India either copy the official course description or rank colleges by who pays them. Neither helps a sixteen-year-old in a small town choose between B.Tech, BCA and ITI.
I write and check every page here against public sources — NIRF reports, regulator notices, published pay scales — and where a number is uncertain, the page says so. No college or coaching institute pays to appear. If you find something wrong, email me and it gets fixed within a week.
