How this tool works
- The checker holds a catalogue of 116 universities that Indian MS applicants often target, each with its full name and common short forms such as CMU, UIUC or TU Munich. You pick the one this SOP is for.
- It finds whole-word matches of every name and short form in your text. Acronyms match case-sensitively, so MIT does not match inside other words, and possessives such as Stanford's still match.
- When names overlap, the longest match wins, so University of British Columbia is not also counted as Columbia. Mentions of your chosen university are listed separately from mentions of any other university.
- You can add universities that are not in the catalogue. It checks university names only, not program names, professors or course codes, and the catalogue deliberately omits bare city or state names.
- Matching runs in your browser, and the text is not uploaded.
