1st company to launch a custom-trained conversation AI engine for Higher Education guidance for Indian students based on half a billion proprietary data points
Supports 6 Indian Languages. Will soon be offered in 22 Indian Languages
Company’s third big launch in the year after the 1st ever CollegeDekho HEART Report and the 1st ever Brand Campaign
CollegeDekho.com, India’s largest higher education ecosystem, announced the launch of SaarthiGPT, India’s first ever avant-garde AI-powered conversation engine to provide the most accurate, reliable and fast personalised guidance for higher education in India. SaarthiGPT by CollegeDekho is trained on more than half a billion proprietary data points and will save time and effort for millions of students on research and become a one-source, always-on, advanced personalised guide to provide latest information on courses, colleges, admission process, exam timelines!
Ruchir Arora, Co-founder & CEO of CollegeDekho
Using thelatest advancements in AI, SaarthiGPT has been created bearing in mind the changing college discovery and selection behaviour of Indian students as well as their need for natural language search queries through conversations – something that CollegeDekho has developed deep expertise over the last 10 years. SaarthiGPT will be a boon for Indian students to get the most personalised guidance using natural language processing without the issue of hallucination that other large language models have for specialised queries around Higher Education.
This invaluable resource shall first be available in 6 Indian languages and their various combinations and can be accessed on www.collegedekho.com/saarthigpt. It will soon be expanded to cover 22 Indian languages. With SaarthiGPT, students will be able to get the right guidance in minutes through a simple natural language conversation and choose the right college and course – something that currently takes them days as they seek information across multiple sources without guidance. SaarthiGPT has been built with inputs from an interdisciplinary team of data scientists, college counsellors, engineers, designers, researchers and marketers to transform higher education guidance.
Talking about the latest launch, Ruchir Arora, Co-founder & CEO of CollegeDekho, said, “Our journey to the small towns of India as part of CollegeDekho Saarthi College Admissions fair revealed a shared challenge among students across social strata-they lacked trustworthy expert guidance around colleges and courses. It reinforced our purpose of being the most trusted guide for higher education in India. With SaarthiGPT, our personalised AI tool available in various Indian languages, we shall bring accurate information to the fingertips of every student of India, democratising access to college guidance for millions across India – something that could fuel India’s Gross Enrolment Ratios and improve student outcomes thereby building a better future for India and Indians alike.”
While there are various websites with data and information about colleges and exams, they are often inaccurate or outdated and fail to help anxious students get factually accurate personalised guidance and support they need in their own languages. SaarthiGPT overcomes this barrier and will help students across the length and breadth of India reach the right colleges to build their own future as well as India’s future.
What makes SaarthiGPT the most advanced tool for students is its unique capability to provide relevant, accurate and trustworthy guidance to a student depending on her/his query. SaarthiGPT scouts CollegeDekho’s cohort of 350+ exams & 35K+ colleges and universities in India with the latest information on their application processes, exams accepted, cut-off data etc. to provide information to students with the most recent & relevant information. In other words, using its advanced AI capabilities and natural language processing, SaarthiGPT can provide detailed student-centric information and guidance in a manner of minutes and help them get to the right destination for their higher education.
Some of the key areas that CollegeDekho SaarthiGPT covers include:
Entrance Exams: Latest information on top entrance exams in India like JEE, NEET, CAT, GATE and others, along with exam-specific preparation strategies and reference materials.
Admission Quota Framework: Get inputs on category-specific admission processes in colleges in India.
