Fine-tuned Mistral 7B for Bangladeshi students seeking Indian university guidance—covering admissions, scholarships, visas, and degree equivalence.

Mistral 7B - Indian University Guidance for Bangladeshi Students

A fine-tuned Mistral-7B model specialized in providing comprehensive guidance to Bangladeshi students seeking admission to Indian universities. This model delivers accurate, domain-specific information about scholarships, admissions, visa processes, and degree equivalencies.

It is trained on the contextual dataset introduced in the research paper: “Development of a Contextual Educational Dataset for Bangladeshi Students Studying in India” presented at Sharda University, Greater Noida.

🚀 Quick Start

Run the model locally via Ollama:

ollama run codermillat/mistral-7b-indian-university-guidance

✨ Model Highlights

Domain-Specialized: Fine-tuned via QLoRA on 7,044 curated, high-quality Q&A pairs.
Practical Knowledge: Covers specific scholarships (like Sharda University’s 20%/50% waivers), degree equivalencies, GPA conversions, and regulatory requirements.
Highly Accurate: Excellent Perplexity of 1.4555, indicating high prediction confidence and reduced hallucinations compared to the base model.
Optimized for Local Inference: Formatted for fast local execution.

💬 Example Prompts & Outputs

Try asking the model these questions:

Prompt: “I have a GPA of 3.8 out of 5.0 in my HSC from Bangladesh. What scholarship can I get at Sharda University?”

Response: With a GPA of 3.⁸⁄₅, you are eligible for a 50% tuition fee scholarship at Sharda University for programs like B.Tech, BBA, MBA, BCA, and others listed in the 50% scholarship category. This is because your GPA falls within the 3.5-5.0 range. Exclusions from scholarships include Pharmacy, M.Sc. Nursing, MPT, Medical M.Sc., BDS & MBBS. To retain this scholarship after the first year, maintain 75% attendance and pass all exams without backlogs.

Prompt: “Can I get lateral entry to B.Tech 2nd year with my Polytechnic Diploma from Bangladesh?”

Response: Yes, your 4-year Polytechnic Diploma from Bangladesh (completed after SSC) makes you eligible for lateral entry into the second year of B.Tech programs at Indian universities like Sharda University. The Indian B.Tech degree is equivalent to B.Sc. in Engineering in Bangladesh. Ensure the Indian institution is AICTE-approved for your degree to be recognized back in Bangladesh.

⚠️ Limitations & Scope

Geographic Scope: Focused exclusively on Bangladeshi students applying to Indian universities.
Institution Coverage: Focuses on private universities in India’s National Capital Region (NCR). Does not cover IITs, NITs, Central Universities, or other public/government institutions.
Temporal: Information reflects 2025 admission cycles; always verify current requirements with official university sources.
Disclaimer: This model provides educational guidance and should not replace official university, government, or legal advice.
