By admin, Gaea News NetworkFriday, September 4, 2009
Accentium Web Pvt. Ltd., which runs leading websites such as SecondShaadi.com & Gaadi.com, recently announced its foray in the education space with the launch of StudyTimes.com.
With a database of over 25,000 colleges and over 4,00,000 courses, StudyTimes.com aims to serve as a one-stop shop solutions for Indian students looking at pursuing an education in India or Internationally. The site also has a unique feature of college reviews wherein users can review colleges on multiple parameters and also read reviews on other colleges, thereby offering students much more than just factual information.
However, StudyTimes.com does not intend to remain just an information center. Through a network of education service providers, StudyTimes will help deliver all education-related services that students require, over and above just information. This includes test preparation, counseling for both Domestic and International education, career-choice tests etc.
Commenting on the positioning of the site, Vivek Pahwa, CEO Accentium Web remarked, “While there are multiple education websites today, most of them are specific to verticals such as engineering, MBA etc. There is a clear lack of good content websites that offer a 3600 view to the students. StudyTimes, through the ecosystem of college search, college reviews, forums, test preparation, counseling and student living is our attempt to fill that gap and help the students in all their education-related needs.”
Ankur Warikoo, Co-Founder, Accentium Web added, “The USP of StudyTimes lies in its content, which according to me is key for any education website. We have a user-friendly website that looks clean and elegant, but it is our content and counseling team that will drive the user back to the site, through perennial updates on events, college & course information, news etc.”
