A deadline and status tracker for India's fragmented medical counselling process that solves information chaos for 1.5M annual NEET UG applicants.

The pain

Medical students face 8-12 separate counselling rounds across state and central pools with different websites, deadline formats, and seat allotment timings. Missing a single deadline costs a year. Students manually track 15+ dates across government portals that crash during peak hours. No unified view exists.

The gap

MCC and state counselling bodies publish deadlines in PDFs and scattered announcements. Students use WhatsApp groups and YouTube for updates. No tool aggregates deadlines, sends push alerts, or explains choice-filling strategy. The official portals are functional but not user-friendly.

Build angle

Start with a simple deadline aggregator + SMS/push alerts for the 2026 counselling cycle (Jan-June). Validate that students will pay ₹99-299/year or that colleges will pay for bulk licenses. Add choice-filling guidance only after proving deadline tracking solves the core problem. Target coaching centers and state medical associations as distribution channels.

Strengths

  • Clear, recurring annual pain point affecting 1.5M students with high stakes (one year lost if deadline missed)
  • Google Trends signal shows real search demand; counselling dates are public and predictable
  • Low technical complexity, aggregation + alerts + basic UI can launch in 4-6 weeks
  • Multiple revenue angles: B2C subscriptions, B2B (coaching centers, colleges), affiliate links to counselling portals
  • Defensible through data accuracy and UX; hard to copy if you own the deadline database

Risks

  • Market size is capped at 1.5M annual users; churn is 100% after counselling ends (need new cohort each year)
  • Government could build this themselves or integrate into official MCC portal, killing demand overnight
  • Willingness to pay is uncertain, students may rely on free WhatsApp groups and coaching center alerts
  • Regulatory risk: MCC could restrict third-party access to seat allotment data or block scraping
  • Requires annual rebuilding of deadline database as counselling rules change; high maintenance burden for small team
  • Choice-filling guidance requires medical knowledge and liability exposure if advice leads to poor outcomes
