Are you a graduate of IIT, IIM and are looking for a life partner with the same educational qualification. A new website, a miniature version of mega marriage websites can help you.
The marriage portal iitiimshaadi.com, takes the name and sells itself on the names of two of the most premier institutions -IIT and IIM.
Dr Ajay Gupta, founder of the portal, told HT: " Alumni of such education institutes deservedly desire companionship with similar experiences and expectations. This portal has been envisaged on the tailor-made needs of this segment."
Gupta said he started the portal in April this year when he realized that highly educated people had practical difficulties in searching for a match. " The normal marriage portals like shaadi.com have millions of profiles loaded and one really needs an advanced search for match making. An important criteria in match making is education . We therefore decided to have a platform where people who have educated from premier institutions in any discipline can meet their partners."
So far he said the portal had got around 800 registrations. " After checking with the certificates, around 80 profiles have been uploaded. At present this is free of cost but after a few months we will work out a revenue generating model."

The grooms have to be an alumni of Indian and International premier institutions in engineering & architecture, medicine, finance, law, MBA, master of social work, master of media Communication, fashion designing and senior government administration. The eligibility for brides is slightly relaxed and they have to be an alumni of country -wide reputed graduation institutions. " There is a relaxation for girls as there are very few girls in IITs and IIMs."
