Isn’t it better to avail all the benefits of an Official Intra College Portal without an in-house administration team, and
ZERO investment in any hardware or software or AMCs? iBranch is a SUBSCRIPTION based service... with charges starting from
just Rs.2490 per month! And iBranch Lite is available
for FREE! So how do we provide this service at such low prices? The infrastructure costs get shared among various clients. Operational costs per portal, which are the highest among all costs, are recovered through sponsorships and ads (limited and strictly relevant advertising).

3. Get Connected with Industry and Ecosystem!
Traditionally, colleges invite industry experts to their college campus to talk to students. Such talks (given to a large group of students) last for 1 or 2 hours and then mostly forgotten, because students cannot stay in touch with those experts after the seminar/workshop is over. It is mostly a formality which does not add much to the industry readiness of students.
Your Official Intra College Portal is also a great tool to connect with Industry Experts and representatives from Corporate Organizations. Apart from providing you the portal facility, we are also continuously working towards expanding our 'iBranch Hub', a network of Corporate organizations & Industry experts, and we allow them to get directly connected on a long-term basis with our client colleges for Knowledge Sharing, Projects, Internships, Seminars, Workshops etc. This ensures that the students of our client colleges get high quality & long-term exposure to the corporate domain, making them
Industry Ready.
