Hi. I have a site which provides distance learning courses. The keywords are extremely competitive. The competition is more than 1 crore. Also, their search is volume is also very high. How to rank those keywords in first pages of google within a very short span of time, keeping in mind the latest google updates.

Have more quality content, more backlinks of equal quality and perhaps an longer established site than that competitor.

To see the backlinks of the competitor, use opensiteexplorer.org or backlink.com

a web search for site:competetorsitename.com gives you a page count for the site.

"more than 1 crore" ?

"Specific keywords" are competitive but tells you what exactly the visitor is looking for. Optimize your site for these phrases first. At the end of the day what is important is visitors. Your site might not be ranking on the top for the most competitive keywords, but it might be ranking well for other less competitive ones. Optimize those simultaneously.
