When looking for ideas to start a business, the best place to look into is the problems faced during any personal experience or by people around you. The idea behind this website occurred to the founders of GetMyUni after they had a hard time trying to decide on a postgraduate college to pursue their higher education which was a real conundrum. They spent hours trying to research on various colleges making this a tiring and time-consuming process. In lieu of this experience, the founders deemed it be necessary for students aspiring higher education to have a place where they can get the basic information of the college like location, contact details, infrastructure and facilities, entrance exams, eligibility criteria for admissions, courses offered by the college and boarding facilities.

This information is also available on the official website so why would anybody visit the GetMyUni website.

In the discussion forum, the questions can be filtered by courses and categories like fees, entrance exams, placements etc. The review section of the website has reviews that are submitted by the current students and the alumni of the college. This is the section which makes the website very interesting. As it gives a student’s perspective on the website which may not be accessible to students in the real (offline) world.
