It helps students and parents explore reputable institutions and exam details conveniently. However, multiple users report privacy issues with persistent unsolicited communications, occasional app crashes, trouble deleting accounts, and a design that seems limited to certain exam groups. Additionally, difficulties in downloading study materials due to complicated password rules are notable concerns. ### Pros - Provides comprehensive and accurate information about colleges, courses, and exams. - Very helpful for students and parents to find colleges such as IITs, NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. - User-friendly platform with quick and reliable answers related to education and career guidance. - Useful for accessing exam-related information and some study materials like old question papers. - Serves as a single platform for exploring higher education options across India. ### Cons - Privacy concerns due to frequent unsolicited calls, messages, and emails from colleges even after disabling contact settings. - App crashes occasionally which affects user experience. - Account deletion process is problematic; app freezes and doesn't allow proper deletion, only logs users out. - Poor design focus as it seems more tailored for NEET and JEE students, limiting broader usability. - Difficulty in setting passwords for downloading papers, with frequent invalid password errors. ## Similar extensions and apps - [School Shiksharthi](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.desun.schoolshikshaapp) — 464 users - [Shiksha App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/co.rogers.mjvkk) — 3,151 users - [Digital Shiksha](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.app.testseries.digitalshiksha) — 27 users - [Shiksha Study Abroad](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.shiksha.studyabroad) — 127,149 users - [Shiksha](https://chrome-stats.com/d/co.lazarus.yuxte) — 26 users - [Shiksha Class](https://chrome-stats.com/d/co.robin.euwyg) — 5,921 users - [Shiksha Shakti Education](https://chrome-stats.com/d/co.rogers.qhsbs) — 217 users - [Collegedunia: College and Exam](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.collegedunia) — 1,391,493 users, 3.00 / 5 - [Shiksha](https://chrome-stats.com/d/co.white.qfayf) — 1,479 users - [Shiksha](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ed.shiksha) — 219 users - [Shiksha](https://chrome-stats.com/d/co.white.nlbdb) — 4,956 users - [Shiksha Classes](https://chrome-stats.com/d/co.khal.tvvqg) — 123 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.shiksha.android)
