The current educational landscape is turning increasingly competitive and expanding continuously. Yet, the industry still encounters significant concerns. The upcoming years would continue to be important with increasing demand for corrective measures in the sector. Presently, curriculum efficiency surfaces as a significant roadblock together with stringent admission procedures and less-effective student guidance programs. These being vital factors towards ensuring educational efficacy at all levels, there is increased focus on tackling them. The attempts towards refining the educational sector should, for ultimate success, be based on strong expertise, clear understanding on the circumstances, and task-specific-strategies. Among several companies involved in the sector, New Jersey based Yaphie Inc stands out with their unique approach towards problem-solving as compared to competitors. The firm aims at transforming the education sector by tackling the boundaries resulted due to inflexible guidance counseling, and replacing it with a programmed and comprehensible online system adapted to give students the inspiration and proper guidance needed to secure admission into the educational institutions of their choice.

Revolutionizing College Planning for All Students

Yaphie, under the leadership of Mohit Shah, CEO, has been providing assistance for students for addressing major concerns such as curriculum efficacy, recruitment in colleges and student guidance counseling. The conventional counseling imparted to students in high-school level, on an average, is of around thirty-eight minute duration and covers few aspects of college planning and preparation. This indicates that the duration of counseling provided to students is decreasing, and that at the end of the session, they still have many doubts left unanswered.

In order to measure and maintain curriculum efficiency, the firm compares curriculum standards with requirements of the college. Coming to student guidance, although, one can avail outside counseling, often they are expensive to such a level that majority of students find them unaffordable, and, in many cases they are of very short-duration. The counseling sessions are another area of interest for Yaphie, wherein they are trying to fix the problems by bringing in big data, and advanced algorithms into a user-friendly environment. The reports generated as part of the process would be of assistance in evaluation and recruitment in colleges, also colleges would have an enlarged base of candidates.

In short, Yaphie uses big data combined with student-centric business strategies to provide users with a self-guidance education platform. Yaphie, further permits users to tabulate their achievements and characteristics, understand impacting features, track their academic and extracurricular progress, and get exposure to alternative career plans. So, Yaphie steps in where the regular guidance counselor steps out and demystifies college planning.
