WHY RANCHI? Insights on Ranchi Student Market for Indian & International Market.

Emerging Talent Pool: Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand, is home to bright students from premier schools like Delhi Public School, DAV schools, St. Xavier’s, and others, who actively seek top-tier institutions across India.
Limited Local Options: While Ranchi has reputable institutions like BIT Mesra and Ranchi University, many students prefer going to cities like Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, and Kolkata for wider academic options and exposure.
High Outbound Student Rate: A significant number of Class 12 students from Ranchi move to other states for UG courses in Engineering, Management, Liberal Arts, Law, Medical, and Design.
Cost-Effective Outreach: Compared to metros, Ranchi provides a cost-efficient way to reach a high-volume student audience without the saturation of similar events.
