India has an estimated 144 million adults between 18 and 23 years old, the target age group for higher education. Although many of these young men and women pass their XII standard exams, few submit college applications. According to the Institute for Integrated Rural Development (IIRD), in 2011, only 12.4 percent of secondary students across India attended college despite the country's more than 26,000 postsecondary institutions.

"Planning for college and a career are big decisions in a young persons life, shared Nina Bhanap, spokesperson for IndiaEducation.com. Being able to provide high quality, accurate and timely resources and materials to assist students and graduates is just one way that we can help with the process.

Highlights from the college and career e-books:
