Search Trends for Students

Riyad Husain & Salman Hossain GBG Managers

There’s a Lot of Informa0on Out There…

2 Billion Searches per Day

… and We Believe Data Should Drive Decisions

Google’s mission is to organize the world’s informa0on and make it universally accessible and useful.

How do I find the information

that is the most useful for me

and my organization?

Search is a Barometer

4 Demos

1. Top & Rising searches 2. Historical trends 3. Seasonality 4. Global & Regional interest

1. Top & Rising searches

2. Historical trends

3. Seasonality

Search for TERM PAPER declined from 2010 onward

Possible Reason for decline? Universi0es now use ‘plagiarism checker’.

Week before semester final, rush for term paper submission

Na?onal Universi?es Admission session is from October – February in the calendar

Bangladesh Search Trends for ‘T20’

ICC T20 World Cup

4. Global & Regional Interest
