• 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 Suryashakti 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:

• Minimize :
  • Cost of Entire Process.
  • Total Time Required.
  • Human Involvement.
  • Data Redundancy.
  • Paperwork.
• Maximize :
  • Availability.
  • Transparency.
  • Accuracy.
  • Reliability.
  • Productivity.
• Design a Dynamic Process.
• User Interactive / Friendly.
• Real Time Report Availability.

The Online Admission Application System is a web based application developed on ASP, PHP 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 colleges of Kolkata are our clients and Online Admission Application System has received widespread acclaim from academics, students and guardians. We are carrying online admissions for some of the prestigious colleges in Kolkata.

Our journey so far has not been without obstacles but due to our never say die approach and skilled manpower we have been able to handle all situations with ease. The very fact that we have been managing the admissions since 2004 has only helped us to gain expertise and command over this sector. The Online Admission System integrates technology with the administrative/education process and is advantageous for both the institution and the students alike. It acts as a new success factor in addition to traditional sources of advantages.

We as a company facilitate online admission process for Under Graduate Courses, Post Graduate Courses, MBA Courses and B.Ed. Courses for some of the prestigious colleges in Kolkata since 2004, and in the near future we are looking forward to work with colleges across the country and internationally. Over the years we have processed more than 7 lakhs successful online applications. We are alrady in talks with colleges / universities in Delhi and Karnataka, Universities in USA and UK.
