Research programs, fellowships, olympiads and scholarships for school and college students in India. Each one checked by hand, open right now, and linked straight to the real application page.
Good programs are out there. Most students never see them.
Search results are mostly link dumps: expired forms, aggregator pages, and programs that quietly need a US campus or a school's sponsorship. Sorting real from dead takes hours most students do not have.
We do that sorting once. Every program is read by a person, checked against a fixed bar, and dropped if it isn't reachable from India or the link no longer works. What's left gets ranked, and that is the index. No sponsored placements, no paid rankings.
Always being checked
Programs are checked again on a rolling basis. Flag a dead link and we'll fix it fast.
Quality over quantity
150+ programs that clear the bar. Nothing earns a spot by default.
Verified for India
Not reachable from here? It doesn't make the index.
Your data stays private
Used only to rank results for you. Never sold, never shared.
Save it, track it, apply on time.
A saved program becomes a tracked record: deadline, status, official link, and a spreadsheet export when you're ready. The same index covers hackathons, olympiads and research fairs as they open.
Know exactly where you stand — honestly.
Most tools flatter you. Pathfinder doesn't. Answer a few questions about your marks, scores and achievements — or just upload your résumé — and get a truthful, data-grounded read on your chances at top universities, graded against real admissions data.
It names your weak spots plainly, shows where a real distinction would move the needle, and points you straight to the programs on the index that close the gap. No fake percentages, no false hope.
