Keeping up with scholarship deadlines and placement news is a full-time job by itself. Here is how someone like Rohan Mehta, a third-year engineering student in Indore, handles it without losing study time.
The Problem Every College Student Knows
Rohan is at a private college in Indore. He has classes, assignments, and practicals to manage. On top of that, he is trying to apply for merit scholarships, keep an eye on off-campus placement drives, and watch for any new internship openings from Pune and Bengaluru companies that hire from Tier 2 cities.
The usual routine looks like this: check the college notice board, scroll LinkedIn, open the National Scholarship Portal, look at a couple of job boards, and repeat the next day. By the time he has gone through all of them, an hour is gone and he has not even opened his textbook.
And August is a busy month. Many companies finalise their on-campus calendar for October and November right now. Scholarship portals like the Prime Minister's Scholarship Scheme and several state-government schemes close their application windows before the semester ends. Missing one by a few days can mean losing lakhs of rupees in support.
Three Steps, No Credit Card, No App
Here is how someone like Rohan could set this up on AIDular in about two minutes.
Step 1: Sign up free at aidular.com. No credit card needed. No app to download. It works on any phone, including an older Android.
Step 2: Type what to track in plain English or Hinglish. Something like:
"Scholarships for engineering students in India, new application deadlines, plus campus placement drives at companies hiring from Indore and MP. Weekly update, Hindi-English mix is fine."
AIDular reads that plain-language request, searches the web on a schedule, and puts it all together.
Step 3: Pick daily, weekly, or monthly. For placement and scholarship news, weekly usually works well. A clean, sourced report lands in his inbox every Monday morning, in IST, before 8 AM, well before he sits down with his chai.
What the Report Actually Looks Like
The email does not dump fifty links on him. It gives a short summary of what is new: which scholarship portals have opened or are about to close, which companies have announced drives at colleges similar to his, and any relevant news like a state government adding a new fee-waiver scheme for OBC or EWS students.
He reads it in five minutes. If something needs action, he clicks the source link and applies. That is it.
No more daily tab-hopping. No more finding out three days late that a good scholarship closed.
Why This Works Especially Well Right Now
August and September are the sweet spot for third-year students. Placement season officially kicks off in October at most colleges, but the prep and registrations happen right now. Companies announce their shortlisting criteria, some send pre-placement talks, and off-campus portals open early registration windows.
At the same time, several central and state scholarship schemes have deadlines before October. Being a week late can disqualify an application entirely.
Having one report that covers both, delivered on a schedule, means Rohan does not have to choose between staying informed and actually studying.
The Hinglish Hook
One thing worth knowing: you do not have to write the perfect English sentence to set up your tracker. A prompt like "engineering wale scholarships aur Indore ke paas placement drives track karo" is understood just fine. The report you get back is clean, readable English. That matters when you are sharing it with a parent or a college counsellor.
