About GradNepal
We're on a mission to help students find their perfect college match through personalized recommendations and comprehensive resources.
Our Story
GradNepal was founded in 2025 by a team of education enthusiasts who recognized the challenges students face when navigating the complex college selection process. Our founders, who had worked in college admissions and education technology, saw firsthand how overwhelming the process could be for students and their families.
What started as a simple tool to match students with colleges based on their academic profiles has evolved into a comprehensive platform that considers not just academics, but also financial considerations, campus culture, location preferences, and career goals.
Today, GradNepal serves hundreds of thousands of students annually, helping them discover colleges that align with their unique needs and aspirations. We're proud to have helped students from all backgrounds find their perfect college match and embark on successful academic journeys.
