About VikalpaGuru
India's AI-powered career and admission counselling platform — founded by Dr. Chandraprakash Padmavat, trusted by 5000+ students across Maharashtra.
What Is VikalpaGuru?
VikalpaGuru is India's AI-powered career and admission counselling platform, headquartered in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad), Maharashtra. We provide expert guidance for college admissions, career planning, DMIT brain mapping, ODL courses, and study abroad pathways — powered by artificial intelligence and delivered by certified human counsellors.
The platform was founded by Dr. Chandraprakash Padmavat who identified a critical gap: thousands of students in Maharashtra and across India make life-defining educational and career decisions without access to quality, data-backed guidance. VikalpaGuru was built to solve this — combining the precision of AI with the empathy of expert human counselling.
Today, VikalpaGuru has guided over 5,000 students across engineering admissions, medical admissions, career transitions, ODL degree enrolments, and MBBS abroad placements — with a 98% student satisfaction rate.
Our Mission & Vision
Our Mission
To democratise access to quality career and admission counselling for every student in India — combining the power of artificial intelligence with the wisdom of experienced human counsellors, making expert guidance accessible and affordable.
Our Vision
To become India's most trusted AI-first educational counselling platform — where no student makes a critical career or college decision without data-backed, expert-guided support. A future where every student finds their right "Vikalpa" (option).
Why "VikalpaGuru"?
"Vikalpa" (विकल्प) means "option" or "alternative" in Sanskrit and Hindi. "Guru" means "teacher" or "expert guide". Together, VikalpaGuru means the expert who shows you your options — a name that defines exactly what we do for every student we serve.
Meet Our Founder
Dr. Chandraprakash Padmavat
Dr. Chandraprakash Padmavat built VikalpaGuru after observing how thousands of students in Maharashtra navigated the high-stakes college admission process — often with incomplete information, wrong advice, and no access to quality counselling.
With deep expertise in engineering, data analysis, and educational systems, Dr. Padmavat with IITian designed VikalpaGuru's AI prediction engine to analyse years of Maharashtra CET cutoff data — giving students an accurate, data-backed view of their admission prospects before committing to a college or branch.
Students and families across Maharashtra trust Dr. Padmavat's guidance for high-stakes decisions — from choosing between engineering branches at government colleges to planning MBBS admissions abroad. His honest, data-driven approach has earned VikalpaGuru a reputation as the counsellor who "removes confusion and replaces it with a clear plan."
