Admission India

What Admission India does

Admission India is an Indore-based, bootstrapped education consulting platform operated under Erfolg Consulting Pvt Ltd, founded in September 2016 and formally registered in October 2017. The company serves Indian students seeking undergraduate and postgraduate admissions across 27 streams including Engineering, Medical, Management, Law, Design, and Pharmacy, with a stated directory of 19,000+ colleges. Core products include a web-based college discovery platform, career counselling, coaching and mentoring, an entrance exam information portal (JEE, NEET, CAT, CLAT, etc.), a college ranking system, study abroad guidance, and direct admission assistance for students who did not clear entrance exams.

The technology stack is a web platform with mobile accessibility, supported by 181 pages of blog content for SEO-driven acquisition and social media presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. The company differentiates through door-to-door counselling services — described as a first in the Indian education consulting space — operating physically in cities including Kota, Indore, Agra, and Kanpur. The business model is dual: an affiliate/commission revenue stream from partner colleges and universities (referenced by 'Save extra with our exclusive deals!' on the site), and professional services revenue from paid counselling, with portal registration offered free of charge. The company has counselled 30,000+ students over seven years, claims approximately 180% YoY growth since 2017 without external funding, and is run by a team of 11 employees.
