Indian Exams Wiki:About

From Indian Exams Wiki

Our Story

Ever wondered why finding comprehensive information about entrance exams in India feels like solving a puzzle with missing pieces? You're not alone.

This wiki started from a simple frustration: discovering important exams after their deadlines had passed. While everyone talks about JEE, NEET, and CAT, India has hundreds of specialized entrance exams that could be perfect for your career goals - if only you knew they existed.

The Mission

Making higher education accessible to all, honoring the wisdom present in every mind.

We're building the most comprehensive, searchable wiki of Indian entrance examinations across all fields. No ads, no affiliate links, no coaching institute promotions - just verified information with official source links so you can make informed decisions about your educational journey.

Why This Matters

India's higher education landscape is vast and complex. There are entrance exams for:

  • Marine biology research positions you never knew existed
  • Specialized engineering branches beyond the mainstream
  • Government fellowships in niche fields
  • Creative programs that art schools don't advertise
  • Regional opportunities that could be perfect for your goals

The problem? This information is scattered across hundreds of official websites, buried in PDF notifications, or lost in bureaucratic labyrinths.

Our solution? Collect, verify, and organize it all in one searchable place.

Coordination & Vision

This project is coordinated by Lalitha A R (username: lalithaar) - a student who got tired of discovering career-changing opportunities after it was too late to apply for them.

Our Guiding Principle

This wiki is dedicated with reverence to the divine intelligence that guides all learning and discovery:

या देवी सर्वभूतेषु बुद्धि-रूपेण संस्थिता |
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः ||

Yaa Devi Sarva-Bhuteshu Buddhi-Roopena Samsthitaa |
Namas-Tasyai Namas-Tasyai Namas-Tasyai Namo Namah ||

Salutations to the Goddess who dwells in all beings in the form of intelligence

- Devi Mahatmyam

Knowledge is sacred, and access to educational opportunities should be universal. This project is our offering to that principle.

How We Work

Community-Driven

  • Anyone can contribute - no technical expertise required
  • Verification-focused - every piece of information needs official sources
  • Quality over quantity - we'd rather have 100 accurate entries than 1000 questionable ones

Open and Transparent

  • No commercial interests - we don't sell anything or promote specific institutions
  • Source everything - every claim links back to official documents
  • Version controlled - you can see who added what information and when

Continuous Improvement

  • Regular updates - information stays current with official notifications
  • User feedback - if you find errors, we fix them quickly
  • Growing coverage - constantly adding newly discovered exams and opportunities

What Makes Us Different

Unlike coaching websites or commercial portals, we:

  • Focus on discovery rather than preparation
  • Include lesser-known exams that others ignore
  • Verify everything from official sources
  • Cover all fields not just the popular ones
  • Stay current with real-time updates from official notifications
