About us
Built by educators who understand the journey.
College Mela was founded by a team of educators, mentors and professionals who have spent years working closely with students and families.
We started College Mela because we saw a common gap: students have more choices than ever, but often lack the clarity and guidance to navigate them.
Today, we’re building a platform that brings together career discovery, counselling, learning, skills and real-world experiences to help young people make better-informed decisions about their future.

Stories
Guidance that stayed with them
Dr Sachin BansalMBBSLooking back on my journey from a student to a doctor, one name and one institution shine above all — Mr. Pankaj Bansal and Educraft Academy. They were not just part of my academic life; they became the very foundation of my success.

When I joined Educraft Academy during Class 11 and 12, I was a student filled with dreams but unsure of how to turn them into reality. It was Pankaj Sir who saw potential in me even when I doubted myself. His inspiring teaching methods, unmatched dedication, and personal attention transformed my outlook toward learning. He made complex concepts simple and built in us the confidence to aim high.
Under his guidance at Educraft Academy, I found not just an excellent teacher but a mentor who believed in discipline, consistency, and character. His motivation during my NEET-UG preparation was a driving force — he guided me through every doubt, every low moment, and helped me stay focused on my goal. The environment he created at Educraft — full of positivity, healthy competition, and personal growth — was unlike any other.
Even after I cleared NEET and began my MBBS journey, Pankaj Sir and Educraft Academy remained an integral part of my life. His mentorship went far beyond academics — he offered life lessons, moral guidance, and unwavering support. Whenever I faced challenges, he was always there with calm words of encouragement and practical wisdom.
Today, as I proudly stand as Dr. Sachin Bansal, MBBS, I realize how much of my success is built upon the guidance, efforts, and blessings of Mr. Pankaj Bansal and Educraft Academy. They didn’t just help me become a doctor — they helped me become a better, more confident, and compassionate person. I will always remain deeply thankful for his mentorship, his belief in me, and the lifelong inspiration that continues to guide me every day.
Nehal SharmaManager, Airport Authority of IndiaThe most important thing in a student’s life is guidance, and I was fortunate to receive mine from Pankaj Sir very early in my career.

From sharing motivational stories to patiently listening to my fears, from pushing me to work harder to guiding me through every direction in life, he has been more than just a teacher. He is the kind of mentor who becomes a friend, someone who knows how to comfort you during tough times and celebrates your achievements with even greater joy than you do.
His constant support, encouragement, and belief in me made all the difference. I was an average student, but with his guidance and motivation, I learned that hard work and the right direction can change everything. If I could make it with his support, anyone can. Thank you, Sir, for being the best teacher, mentor, and friend one could ever ask for.

Good to know
Questions, answered
How can College Mela help me?
We help you work out what to do after school, one step at a time. Start with the free career test to see which careers and streams match what you enjoy. Our free videos explain streams, entrance exams and colleges. When you want to talk it through with a person, book a one-on-one session with a counsellor for ₹599 + GST. And if you want a complete plan, the Career Blueprint gives you a personalised report, course and college guidance and a roadmap for what comes next.
Compare the plansHow do I get guidance?
In four steps. Most families start with the free test and decide on the rest once they’ve seen their results.
Take a short career test. Tap through quick questions about the activities you enjoy and the subjects you like.
See your career matches. Get your top interests and the careers and streams that match them, instantly.
Talk to an expert counsellor. Go through your results with a real person and ask what a test can’t answer.
Get your pathway. Leave knowing the courses, entrance exams and skills to work on next.
Is the career test really free? How long does it take?
Yes. There’s nothing to pay and no account to create. It takes about three minutes: 20 quick questions, 18 of them about activities you’d enjoy, plus your favourite subjects and your class. At the end you add your name and mobile number, and your results appear straight away.
What happens after the test?
You see your top three interests and five matching careers, with the streams and entrance exams for each. Share your results with your parents, teachers and friends. If you want to go deeper, a counsellor can check the matches against your marks and plans, and map out the exams to prepare for.
Who are the counsellors?
College Mela’s founders guide students personally. Pankaj Kumar Bansal studied at IIT Roorkee and has spent more than 13 years in education. Dr. Shubhra, who has more than eight years of experience, works on career content and counselling. A session is a 40-minute, one-on-one video call for ₹599 + GST, Monday to Friday, and parents are welcome to join.
