For studying in foreign countries like USA, UK, an online admission procedure was already commonly used. Entrance exams like GRE and TOEFL have online exams. Not only the forms, but the exams and payment for foreign exams are done online. In India too the online admissions will benefit the students, colleges in every aspect.
Procedure of the online admission Test:
· Firstly the student has to give a mock test, mentioning their name, centre no. and other details.
· Secondly your details will be identified and a log-in identity and password will be given to the student.
· Thirdly, the student has to log in the ID; the verified information given by the student will appear with the option of various streams. The student has to pick the desired option and then submit the form with the codes of colleges at the designated centre. Then the board will verify the information and give the student a list of colleges for which he/she eligible. The student can choose among these.
· The student will be provided with an online admission information booklet that will guide them along with mark sheet from the school.
Advantage of Online Admission to Colleges:
· Colleges will also be benefited as machine monitoring will help them work faster.
· The machine will help to update the records instead of manual intervention.
· Managing the students’ crowd will be much simpler and easier and quicker.
