Campus Karma - A Virtual Platform for College-going Folks

Students of different campuses for an exchange of cultural and technical ideas. The problem discussed above is common to most of the students during their college life, so I decided to start a website where this entire problem will end and here it is, a site called “Campus Karma”

Given my love for technology and passion about coding, I started working on the idea of a website where one can find answers to the basic campus problems and after nine months on October 2nd, 2012 stood the basic structure of ‘Campus Karma’ my website. The origin of the name is a rather humorous history and dates back to my college Campus Karma was launch on 02 Oct 2012. It was conceived and founded by a 22 years old Computer Science B-Tech final year student Rohit Gupta with the primary aim of connecting the youth of India from all colleges irrespective of their courses, under the universal banner of virtual campus life.

It was in 2012 while I was doing my last year of graduation in computers that the idea to formulate this website stuck my mind. Though it owes its existence to a not so desired incident. I was a ‘fest-addict’ and me and my groups of friends were always seen skipping classes and visiting various college fests and activities, participating and demonstrating technical ideas. As you may say I was always this ‘tech-geek’ sort of a guy. Due to this we gave miss to a series of college classes and only came back to realize that in the meantime an important assignment was circulated and also its last day of submission was over. I was petrified and then it suddenly occurred to me that how good it would have been if there was a ‘common notice board’ where we may get all the information’s on assignments and other academic activities and the cherry being this may also serve as a platform to connect all days where I was always referred as ‘Computer King’ for me being a tech-geek. I took the initials of that nickname “CK” and with the help of my hostel mate we came up with the name of the website “Campus Karma”

"Your competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who don't support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck." 

The Idea which I envisioned in 2012 has today grown manifolds to give out branches dealing with various other college day problems. While most social networking sites stop at just connecting people and providing a platform for social exchanges, Campus Karma takes a step ahead to connect the youth of India who is in search of campus news and activities that have taken place in the past, happening now or are scheduled to happen soon at different campuses of India by providing a common space to share academic, campus-related social and cultural ideas.

Today Campus Karma contains an online aptitude program for students to test their preparedness before the much anticipated ‘campus recruitments’ and various other competitive exams. I have also embedded an online compiler supporting 60+ languages for those code-lovers out there. I am also planning on a mean to provide a platform to budding app developers to upload their app’s for the end-users to use and review. Apart from online activities, Campus karma also helps students to sharpen their skill via means of workshops. We recently conducted our first Internet of Things (IoT) workshop which was a huge success and also we are getting request from various colleges to conduct a similar workshop on IoT on their campus as well.

Campus Karma took initially nine months to take its basic shape as I worked on it solely and in that sense, it can be coined as my baby. And as a parent, I’m happy that it has come all this way though It still has miles to go and I have many more things in the pipeline which I believe would help my campus buddies.
