About EntranceCorner:
There are myriad of career choices before a student at different stages of student life. They always face questions like Why? How? Where? What? Who? about the different academic careers at various stages of their academic career. Within each career, there are again different set of choices in terms of courses, institutes, degrees, locations etc. The answers to such questions are often unavailable to most students at right time and place. Therefore, most of the times, decisions are based on gut feel, influence from peers, unstructured information & uniformed choices.
EntranceCorner, started in April 2009, enables students to build an informed career through an integrated and seamless platform that offers counseling, collaboration, resources and information at different phases of student lifecycle.
Confusing site. What is the main thing you are providing? Counseling? Mentoring? In what manner shape or form is this assistance being provided –why would it be helpful. Who is giving it?
Need to focus more on customer needs. Not clear you have that first in mind
Visit https://entrancecorner.com. Spend no more than 5-10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about?
I looked at the website briefly and got the idea that it had something to do with education. The titles placed vertically made it difficult to read and hard to understand.
Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.
When I went back to the site, I clicked on the tabs listed at the top, engineering, law, medical, open education and k12. I found the resources tab to be interesting, especially the coaching institute? Is this a tutoring resource. It appears this site is geared toward Indian college students and as I am not very familiar with college life in India I do not know how helpful this site would be.. but I could see how a student would find the resources tab useful as well as the various articles about the field.
Will you share it with others?
If I was a college student in India, I probably would.
What do you find bothersome? What do you like?
I did not like the lay out of the site and found it somewhat unclear from the home page what the services the site provided but as I explored the tabs, I found the individual areas, medical, law etc. and the tabs located on these pages to be useful and the concept behind the site to be more clear.

Spruce up the homepage and make the concept of your webpage more clear , keep adding more resources to your medical, law, engineering tabs.. those look like they would be really helpful.

page. What do you think the site is about?
I think this site is to help students make better decisions about their education.
·        Now go back to the site and comment on various elements of the site.
It appears that your site has lots of information on Indian Colleges.
·        Will you share it with others?
At this stage, probably not. It doesn’t solve a need I have, and it seems like it is in the early stages. If you were to make your site more useful, perhaps I would.
·        What do you find bothersome? What do you like?
I found that when I click on a link, the page loads very slow, even though I have a good internet connection.
·        Please share any additional feedback/comments you might have.
The scrolling information at the top of the screen is kind of annoying. I wish the information was static and in a different place. I don’t see how such a scrolling update bar would sell your service to a new visitor. If anything, it would give them the perception that your site is home made and not as quality as professionally done sites.
