Online Admission System
Every year, students in thousands queue up for collecting
admission / application forms and then again for submitting the admission / application forms. This leads
to problems in managing the applications, resulting in annoyed parents and students alike.
Problems with the Current Admission Process :-
- Print Forms :
- Institute incurs expenditure on printing of admission forms, and in absence of any reliable
forecasting system on how much application it is going to receive it may overspend by printing
excessive application forms or may fall in crisis if there is excess demand of application forms.
- Once printed, changes to the application form are not only difficult but also incurs additional cost.
- Handle Queries & Distribute Forms :
- Wastage of institute's resources as same information has to be imparted to candidates /
guardians individually.
- Candidates / Guardians have to queue up numerous times i.e. to collect form, to submit form,
to view merit list, etc.
- Collect Forms :
- Chances of form misplacement are very high, because of huge number of applications.
- Wastage of institute's resources due to involvement of people / teachers in form collection.
- Sort List Candidates :
- It is difficult to stop in-eligible candidates from applying.
- It is a tedious and time consuming process to list out data of each candidate, manually check
them against documents submitted, resulting in delay and wastage of valuable resources.
- Multiple merit lists often leads to duplication of work for the institution, even candidates /
guardians have to visit again and again to check the latest merit list.
In addition to the above, the admission process is not transparent, leading to scope for
widespread malpractices. In order to rectify these shortcomings, optimize the current admission process and make
it more transparent Webtech has come up with an "Online Admission Application System".
Developing the Online Admission Application System was not an easy thing to
do as we were facing the following challenges:-
Challenges to Optimize the Admission Process :-
- Minimize :
- Cost of Entire Process.
- Total Time Required.
- Human Involvement.
- Data Redundancy.
- Paperwork.
- Maximize :
- Availability.

The Online Admission Application System is a web based application developed
on ASP and MS SQL Server.
The Online Admission Application System allows institutes to receive
applications through the web and candidates need not collect physical forms. Candidates are required to visit
the admission website of the institute. All eligibility criteria, no. of seats, selection criteria etc are mentioned
in the website. Candidates are required to fill in the online admission form and submit it online. On successful
submission of the application the candidate receives a unique form no. against which he / she is required to make
the payment of the application form. For institutes willing to receive the application fees online we can
also integrate the payment gateway. Merit list of eligible candidates are generated through the application
and published on the admission website. The Online Admission Application System can also be programmed
to electronically notify candidates about the outcome of the admission process.
Since the candidates information is entered by the candidate and that to once, this
result in reduced turnaround time for the entire admission process. This saves a lot of time and effort
on the part of the institute as well as for the candidates. Moreover, the merit list of admitted students is
generated automatically by the application, ruling out any chance of foul play. In this case only the deserving
candidates get admission to the institute.
Online Admission Application System has been accepted with widespread praise
and as such several institutes have approached us for implementing a similar system for them. Already the top
