Problem it Solves:
Each year, numerous students come to the realization that the course or stream they chose in their first year is not consistent with their abilities, interests, or professional aspirations. This usually results in branch transfers (e.g., CSE to ECE) or even program shifts like BBA. All these changes are stressful, time-consuming, and, at times, expensive. There is no systematic or customized means for students to analyze if a course really is for them or not prior to taking this definitive decision.
Gap in Existing Solutions:
There are generic career tests and aptitude tests, but these are not based on university-specific coursework. There is no platform that integrates academic challenges, assignments, and career opportunities to give a realistic preview of the student's fit in a branch.
Solution:
We enable students to "test-drive" their branch or course before fully committing to it. Through skill challenges, sample assignments, and branch-specific quizzes, students get a personalized "fit score" indicating how closely their strengths and interests match the course. The platform also offers curated career paths and study materials for every branch, allowing students to make a well-informed choice. Supported by AI recommendations and inputs from seniors and peers, students receive both academic and real-world insights before they switch.
Who Benefits:
Students: Have clarity and confidence in selecting the correct branch.
Universities: Minimize dropouts and transfers, enhancing academic satisfaction.
Why it Matters to Me:
I have witnessed friends suffer after making the incorrect branch selection. Changing courses halfway leads to undue stress and affects confidence. This tool can avoid confusion and enable students to make better, informed decisions.
Technical Details:
The app employs branch-specific quizzes, skill-mapping challenges, and AI-driven recommendations to determine a "fit score." An individualized dashboard leads students to courses and career paths that align with their interests and strengths.
