CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: CollegeDekho.com, India’s largest higher education ecosystem, announced the launch of SaarthiGPT, India’s first ever avant-garde AI-powered conversation engine to provide the most accurate, reliable and fast personalised guidance for higher education in India. SaarthiGPT by CollegeDekho is trained on more than half a billion proprietary data points and will save time and effort for millions of students on research and become a one-source, always-on, advanced personalised guide to provide latest information on courses, colleges, admission process, exam timelines!
Using the latest advancements in AI, SaarthiGPT has been created bearing in mind the changing college discovery and selection behaviour of Indian students as well as their need for natural language search queries through conversations – something that CollegeDekho has developed deep expertise over the last 10 years. SaarthiGPT will be a boon for Indian students to get the most personalised guidance using natural language processing without the issue of hallucination that other large language models have for specialised queries around Higher Education.
This invaluable resource shall first be available in 6 Indian languages and their various combinations and can be accessed on www.collegedekho.com/saarthigpt. It will soon be expanded to cover 22 Indian languages. With SaarthiGPT, students will be able to get the right guidance in minutes through a simple natural language conversation and choose the right college and course – something that currently takes them days as they seek information across multiple sources without guidance. SaarthiGPT has been built with inputs from an interdisciplinary team of data scientists, college counsellors, engineers, designers, researchers and marketers to transform higher education guidance.
Talking about the latest launch, Ruchir Arora, Co-founder & CEO of CollegeDekho, said, “Our journey to the small towns of India as part of CollegeDekho Saarthi College Admissions fair revealed a shared challenge among students across social strata—they lacked trustworthy expert guidance around colleges and courses. It reinforced our purpose of being the most trusted guide for higher education in India. With SaarthiGPT, our personalised AI tool available in various Indian languages, we shall bring accurate information to the fingertips of every student of India, democratising access to college guidance for millions across India – something that could fuel India’s Gross Enrolment Ratios and improve student outcomes thereby building a better future for India and Indians alike.”
