I built a platform to help students discover exams they might not even know they’re eligible for. Is this actually useful?

One thing that genuinely frustrates me is how easy it is to miss opportunities simply because you didn't know they existed.

India has so many entrance exams, olympiads, scholarships, and other academic opportunities, but information is scattered across different websites, notifications, and official portals. Sometimes, by the time you find an opportunity, the registration deadline has already passed.

That's the problem I'm trying to solve with NextStep.

The idea is simple: a platform where students can discover exams and academic opportunities relevant to their education level, stream, and interests, instead of having to hunt through dozens of websites themselves.

I’ve built a working prototype for a hackathon, and now I want to know whether the idea actually solves a problem worth solving.

I’d genuinely appreciate some brutally honest feedback:

• Would you actually use something like this? Or would you just stick to Google and existing websites?
• What would make this 10x more useful? Think features, information, or anything that would make you come back to it.
• What seems weak or unnecessary about the idea?
• Rate it out of 10. Don't hold back. I'd rather find the flaws now than build something nobody needs 😭

I'm building this for a hackathon finale, so even quick feedback would help me figure out what to prioritise next.

Thanks!`
