FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IndiaEducation.com, India’s largest online education portal, has published the first two installments of its new ongoing series of college- and career-focused e-books. Both the "Complete 2012 Guide to Colleges and Universities in India" and the “Complete 2012 Guide to Starting a Career in India or Abroad” e-books are free and available for instant download.
India has an estimated 144 million adults between 18 and 23 years old, the target age group for higher education. Although many of these young men and women pass their XII standard exams, few submit college applications. According to the Institute for Integrated Rural Development (IIRD), in 2011, only 12.4 percent of secondary students across India attended college despite the country's more than 26,000 postsecondary institutions.
"Planning for college and a career are big decisions in a young person’s life,” shared Nina Bhanap, spokesperson for IndiaEducation.com. “Being able to provide high quality, accurate and timely resources and materials to assist students and graduates is just one way that we can help with the process.”
Highlights from the college and career e-books:
- Selecting a field of study and available types of degrees
- Educational options in India
- Earning potential by field
- Process for applying to colleges
- Assessing your values, passions and skill sets
- How to land a job
“Whether you’re a student with well-defined goals or someone who doesn’t know where to begin, our new e-books provide an excellent starting point,” said Bhanap. “Ultimately, we hope to be an online resource that is not only reliable, but also informative and beneficial for our visitors.”
