  "account": "Navigating college admissions has become increasingly complex, with students facing multiple websites, portals, and information sources before even comparing their options. KollegeApply aims to simplify this process with Orbit, an AI-powered conversational admissions assistant unveiled at Elevate Bengaluru on August 22, 2026. Orbit unifies college and admission-related information into a single conversational experience, allowing students to inquire about various aspects - from entrance exams and eligibility to scholarships and placements - without restarting their search. Orbit aggregates data from over 10,000 institutions, 200 entrance examinations, and 1,200 courses, and is accessible 24/7. It leverages KollegeApply’s existing AI tools, including an AI College Predictor, AI Rank Predictor, and Fees and Scholarships Guidance, to understand student queries and provide contextual answers. Unlike traditional search methods, Orbit considers the context of a student's questions and the decision they're making, enabling a more streamlined and comprehensive research experience. Sanjay Meena, KollegeApply’s founder, emphasized their mission to be the one-stop solution for all college-related queries, from choosing the right college to securing the first job. Orbit is part of KollegeApply’s broader AI ecosystem, which integrates conversational assistance with predictive admission tools, rank prediction, college matching, ROI calculators, and structured counselling reports. The company’s long-term goal is to support students throughout their journey, from selecting the right college to preparing for a career. The unveiling of Orbit at Elevate Bengaluru underscores KollegeApply’s commitment to applying AI to the admissions process, moving students from information discovery to informed decision-making and career preparation.",
