Why online application platform is necessary for universities and institutions

Imagine a hypothetical scenario in which there’s a long and unmanageable queue of prospective students outside the gate of a college or an institute wanting to submit their application forms.

Now, imagine another hypothetical scenario in which there’s no queue of students, there’s no chaos and the application forms are conveniently and cost-effectively submitted over an online platform.

Which of the above two scenarios are more student-friendly and easing process of application for universities and institutions?

Yes, the answer is second scenario. Online application platform is necessary for universities and institutions. It not only facilitates an easy and hassle-free way of submitting applications from a viewpoint of students’ comfort but also makes it easy for universities and institutions to review an application. A given university or institute benefits in short listing the eligible students thus simplifying the process of admission.

The rapid increase in the use of internet and digital media has exercised influence in the field of education. Internet is popular and has a wider reach amongst the young populace. A university or institute can disseminate all its relevant information to a large chunk of potential students accelerating the pace of the process of admission and resulting in sharp rise in online application.

An online application platform for universities and institutions reduces additional efforts, cost and time that were inevitable in paper-based application. It also furthers the nature-friendly mission of universities and institutions because it minimizes the use of paper.

Paper-based application is a thing of the past now and the online application platform is an alternative to that. It is necessary for the universities and institutes to keep up with the need of modern times to emerge as leaders in the field of education.
