Hey, I'm Hari
3rd-year CSE student who builds side projects, obsesses over keyboards, and reviews every gadget before spending a rupee.
Why I built this
Before buying my first laptop for engineering, I spent weeks wading through YouTube videos where every reviewer had been gifted the product, and tech blogs where every "recommendation" linked to something suspiciously priced well above my budget. I made a mediocre purchase. I don't want you to.
StudentTech India is the resource I wish existed when I was about to start my CS degree — real spec analysis, student-specific scoring, and honest opinions from someone who uses these products in lecture halls, hostels, and marathon coding sessions. Not a press demo room.
How I score products
Every product gets a Student Score (0–100) across four sub-categories: Performance, Battery, Value, and Portability. Display is added for screens and laptops. These scores reflect real-world student usage — not gaming benchmarks or camera sensor specifications nobody actually cares about during exams.
I test laptops specifically with a student workload: VS Code, Android Studio with an emulator, Chrome with 15 tabs, and a local dev server. Phones are tested for camera in actual campus lighting, call quality in noisy environments, and battery life during a typical college day.
Monetization & independence
This site earns via Amazon Associates affiliate links. When you click a link and buy something, I get a small commission — at zero extra cost to you. This lets me keep the site running without charging for access.
What this doesn't mean: no brand has ever paid me to rank their product higher. No product has been sent to me in exchange for a positive review. My Student Score rankings follow the data, not the affiliate commission rates. Sometimes the product I recommend pays less commission than the alternative. That's fine.
