Career Counselling · College Review · New Delhi

Choosing a college
shouldn't feel like
guesswork.

Anurag Thakur works with students across India who are trying to make sense of a system that now offers more colleges, courses and entrance routes than ever before — and helps institutions build the kind of presence students actually trust.

The bigger picture

India's higher education map got a lot bigger — counselling had to grow with it

Thousands of colleges, online degrees, private universities and skill-based programmes now sit alongside the traditional routes. More choice has meant more confusion — for students and for the parents helping them decide. Anurag Thakur's work sits inside that shift: part counsellor, part platform builder, helping students in metro and non-metro cities alike find a clearer way through.

Before Decisions leaned on local advisors, coaching centres, and word of mouth.
Now Students research fee structures, hostels and placement records online — long before a counselling session.
Before Guidance mostly meant picking a college and an entrance exam.
Now Guidance covers career direction, industry trends, internships and long-term planning.
Before Counselling centred almost entirely on engineering and medicine.
Now Students ask about management, law, design, data science and media just as often.
What I help with

Two sides of the same problem

Students need clarity to choose well. Institutions need to communicate clearly enough to be chosen. Anurag Thakur works on both — direct guidance for students and families, and outreach support for the colleges they're considering.

For Students

College & course selection

One-on-one sessions on shortlisting colleges, comparing entrance routes, weighing course options and mapping out a realistic career direction — not just for the next four years, but the years after.

The Platform

College Review

A student-information platform sharing first-hand details on admissions, campus life, fees, hostels and placements — built for students who want to look before they apply, not after.

For Institutions

Branding & outreach

Working with colleges and universities on digital outreach, admission-focused campaigns and clearer communication with the students they're trying to reach.

The platform

College Review — the information students look for before they apply

Before filling out an admission form, most students now want answers to the same handful of questions: what does the campus actually look like, what do hostels cost, how are placements, and what does the admission process really involve.

College Review was built around exactly that — short, practical content on fee structures, hostel life, placement data, campus walkthroughs and course comparisons, made for students researching colleges from anywhere in the country.

How sessions work

Practical answers, not pep talks

CLARITY

Plain explanations

Admission procedures, entrance routes and fee structures explained in simple language — the kind of detail students and parents say they actually remember.

HONESTY

Realistic comparisons

Straight talk about placement records, market competition and return on investment, so decisions are based on what's likely — not what's promised.

DIRECTION

Beyond the admission

Conversations don't stop at "which college" — they cover the career path, the industry, and what the next few years actually look like.

Get in touch

Have a college decision coming up?
