GyanDhan's Admit Predict Tool will help students to shortlist colleges as per their profile with ease and accuracy so that they can make their master list of colleges to apply in the most targeted manner.
After completing his undergrad from one of the premier institutes in India, Jayant wanted to pursue higher studies in the US. He scored well in GRE, and he started his journey of looking for colleges who him best might accept his application. As the average time to complete an application for Top MS program in US is quite high, so it became important for him to shortlist the right colleges, as he wanted to put his best foot forward in all his applications.
"Someone must have surely solved this problem" he thought. After spending a whole day on one of the man's greatest inventions (saying internet is too mainstream) he was sure of 4 things:
Since Jayant was the Tech Lead at GyanDhan then, our team brainstormed as to how we could improve the status quo. And this is how our admit predictor was born.
We firmly believe that our Admit Predictor will significantly help students with their application process. Our belief stems from the following:

Several students contributed to this initiative by sharing their info through surveys. In total, we reached out to 15,000 applicants in the GyanDhan community. Many students gave us access to Google spreadsheets, where past students had voluntarily entered their admit-related information.
After going through the dirty work of cleaning data, we normalized the continuous variables (GRE Score, CGPA, # of publications) and standardized the discrete variables (College Name, Branch, Work ex.)
We tried different Machine learning models: logistic regression, SVM, random forest, and compared their results. After training our model and evaluating it on different test datasets, we concluded that a Hybrid Model (of Logistic regression and Random Forest) was outperforming the others. This is the model that runs in the background when you evaluate your profile on GyanDhan’s Admit Predictor.
FAQs:
Ans. As mentioned in our previous post about the importance of work experience, relevant work experience in the field you are applying increases your chances of getting admission. However, we have not been able to find reliable data on relevant work experience yet. We’re on the look-out and hope to add this feature to our model soon.
Ans. Unfortunately, we could not find enough data to map the correlation between admission and research publications. We are still trying to gather data to include publications in our admit model.
Ans. Many profiling tools evaluate the strength of the SOP and LOR’s but we could not find concrete data on it. This is because the university officials and even the students are reluctant to share their SOPs with anyone hence, gradation of these SOPs and LORs seems like a far-fetched idea. Our admit predictor model relies on hard facts and figures to give an honest evaluation. Hence, we took the decision not to include the strength of SOP and LORs in our profile evaluator. However, You can help us to include this feature into our model: contribute your SOP.
Happy shortlisting!
