EduCell is a startup founded by IIT currently enrolled IIT students with the goal of mentoring students who hope to ‘crack the IIT- JEE’ exam. Around 200 IIT students provide mentoring sessions to IIT aspirants and guide them through their preparations. The USP being that having ‘been there, done that’ in the recent past, they’re in a much better position to guide and mentor other students. All registered students get personalized guidance from current IIT students and also are provided with sample tests, study material and motivational CD’s. You also get notes used by JEE toppers, with the hope that the notes help you to score well at the JEE.
Other features on the site include tips-tricks via mobile, video sessions by IITians, live chat with IIt students and discussion forums.
I think this is an amazing idea – with their unique USP, they definitely have the ability to stand out in a crowded market. The market size for IIT-JEE preps is huge – and even if they make a tiny dent in it, they stand to make some solid gains of it.
I guess some from the IIM’s needs to get inspired and needs to port over this brilliant idea to the CAT exams as well — I’d say that’d be an even bigger success story (I believe CAT exam market / test preps is more larger and lucrative – but dont quote me on it).
Can we get details of promoters of Educell..? Do they have franchisee at Nashik ?

Hi guys,
You can know more about Educell, and regarding applying, at the following website : http://www.educell.info. Alternatively, drop off a mail to contact@educell.info, or call +91 0771 4033954.
We do not have any “centres” so as to say. Our main office is located in Raipur, Chattisgarh. Since we help students on phone/send material by post, we do not have local centres.

A couple of guys from IIM-K have done just that, albeit in a small city – Coimbatore.
They are called Focus Academy and can be found here http://www.focusacademy.in
I am based out of Trichy and I know for a fact that the CAT market is untapped in Trichy and Madurai (two tier-2 cities in Tamil Nadu)
Have been seeing lot of startups now-a-days which includes a long list of startup as http://www.voicetap.in, http://www.mentorpolis.com, http://educell.info etc. Will be really excited to see the “USP” mentioned here. Why so many startups and all in start up stage still. Is everyone’s USP claim really USP.
