Syllabus intelligence for universities
Compare every syllabus before you pick a course.
Sylabi lets tertiary students compare course outlines across universities, departments and lecturers — so you study what actually gets tested and choose electives that carry weight.

The problem
Two students, same course code, completely different syllabi.
Across African universities, the same course title can hide wildly different scope, textbooks, and assessment weights. Students transferring, choosing electives, or preparing for professional exams are flying blind.
Lecturers update outlines quietly. Past questions drift from the official syllabus. Study groups waste weeks on topics that never appear on the exam — and skip the ones that do.
The cost: lower grades, wasted tuition, and graduates whose transcripts don't reflect what they actually know.
The solution
A side-by-side view of every course you'll ever take.
Upload your outline or pick a course code. Sylabi pulls matching syllabi from other departments, campuses and cohorts, highlights the differences, and maps each topic to past questions and trusted resources — in seconds.

Impact
Small tool. Real difference.
Sylabi started as a spreadsheet passed around a WhatsApp group before finals. Today it's the study layer thousands of students open before every semester — and every year the numbers get better.
