I still remember by friends running around to consultants while applying for an International University. I wish we all knew that we will soon have all this information just a click away. Now, here’s one that will make your career while you sit make friends, chat and watch videos. Surprised?

I’m talking about the new online community, Bharatstudent.com. Before I go any further and write about it let me put a pre-review for you in one line. For me, it’s like Orkut + Googlevideo/Youtube + Naukri/Monster/Timesjobs. Yes, it’s true, you got all that on one site and all in your reach once you’re a member through a free registration.

Now, here’s a little about the portal. The site looks quite decent with a neat and easy navigation. It has different Bharatstudent2sections like Friends, Gangs (groups/communities), Bharat Café, Campus TV, Girls only and Earn part Time (you can work part time for the portal and earn money). It targets the youth, like every other community or even jobsites. But here comes my favorite section ‘careers’ and ‘study abroad’ that gives you an impression that this is not just any other monotonous portals to pass time but a serious attempt to entertain and also help the youth of our country with their careers.

Another very interesting thing is the ‘Girls Only’ section that is exclusively for girls. It carries ‘Profile of the week’, ‘Recipe of the day’, ‘Powerful Women’, ‘Tip of the day’, ‘Product reviews’ and Featured articles and discussions. Well I think they should have included a guy’s section too. Oh well, this portal’s still cool. I’ve got invitations from tons of online communities and I don’t even bother to register ‘cause they’re all the same. I did register for this immediately ‘cause the home page of the site says it all. It talks about all the stuff the site has to offer and I don’t regret joining this because it’s worth it. It’s free, it’s fun and it’s useful too. Try, it’s definitely worth trying. I would like to know your thoughts about what you think about the portal.
