NextClimb started from a simple observation: most career websites in India either copy-paste official course descriptions or rank colleges by ad spend. Neither helps a 16-year-old in a tier-3 city decide between BTech, BCA, and ITI.

I write and edit every page here personally. The data is synthesised from public sources (NIRF placement reports, regulator filings, AmbitionBox aggregates, named hospital and PSU pay scales) and our editorial judgement — see the methodology page for exactly how each number is sourced and how confident we are in it.

If you find anything out of date, contested, or wrong, email nextclimbsupport@gmail.com. Corrections ship within a week.
