Ways to improve Admission Process of School,Colleges

Knowledge about Online Admission Process

Online Application Form

Currently most of the educational institutes , school teachers, institute/ university teachers are against Online admission process due to lack of detailed knowledge of the system and unaware of how to use it effectively.So when students approaches them they are helpless in most of the situation and it creates negative attitude for automation and technology usage to simplify such critical process.

 

Appropriate training must be provided to institute staff about effective usage of the system. Admission system should be more user friendly and importance of such system should be communicated to education world.

When world is fast forward in terms of technology adoption,education system can not fall behind it. Effective training and awareness would certainly help to reduce barriers of such system adoption

 

Online, Offline Support

Currently if students, parents are stuck while filling online forms there is no one available for the help. So it increases frustration among students,parents. So instead of making process simpler with system it becomes tedious where hundreds of queries and no one is available to handle those queries.

Check the feedback from one of faculty member:On the condition of anonymity, a college faculty said,

“Private colleges generally assist students during the on-line admissions. Administration at the government colleges is least bothered to look into the problems of the students. Government colleges’ faculty members also abstain themselves from carrying out the work of verification of documents.”

So lack of enthusiasm with Govt colleges to help students results in failure of the system.

 

Effective support using multiple channels

1. Live Chat: During form submission support representative should be available to resolve query using live chat tool. It helps to reduce errors,anxiety for students,parents as they can get instant query resolution.

Facebook Chatbot for admission Queries

Simple documentation about how to fill online form, step by step guide, frequently asked questions about admission process can be provided. It should be visible or accessible to candidate while filling online forms. It helps to resolve query related to admission process.

2. Email Support: Proper email support mechanism should be established similar to any CRM system using by larger organizations so that queries can be resolved over email.
