Buckleyourshoe.com is a student community portal
conceptualized and managed by four budding student entrepreneurs of the Delhi
College of Engineering. The site came into existence on the principle that only
a student could understand a student’s needs. It acts as a counselor for a
wide range of issues that arise upon finishing school. It has searchable
databases of educational institutions and vocational training institutions,
paying guest and hostel accommodation, private tutors and coaching institutes,
and educational loans and scholarships, especially for MBA, GRE, GMAT, etc.
The site has 12 sections. The Kurukshetra section provides
in-depth detail on competitive exams, together with past papers and placements.
There’s a Buckle Up section that gives details of colleges at various levels
in various disciplines. The Vedas and Puranas section gives details on the best
books available, and Live It up has informative tips on adventure sports like
bungee jumping, river rafting, scuba diving, etc.
The Pot Pourri section has a nice collection of jokes and
brainteasers, while Chain Reaction provides students with psychosocial
counseling and mental health care tips. It also attempts to solve their
day-to-day problems with the help of expert counselors.
The site also provides results of various competitive exams
and a list of scheduled exam dates. It’s fast and easy to navigate.
