With the rising number of students seeking admissions across universities in India, it has become imperative to allow technology to intervene and make the process easier, effective and more structured. Hence ePravesh® newly launched application will prove to be a convenient option especially for students, parents and working professionals seeking admissions in schools and universities across India. It will be a single point of information about schools, colleges and other educational institutes subscribed with ePravesh® and hence will save the users the trouble of visiting the school or college website repeatedly.

Giving his thoughts on the launch of the application, Mr Samir Kamat, CEO and Co-founder of ePravesh® said “Many foreign universities these days are using android applications to communicate and teach the students. With these universities making inroads into the Indian market, several Indian universities have realised that to reach their prospective students they need to constantly innovate and embrace technology. While ePravesh® attempt to expose the institutes to the platform has been positive, we are pleased to be the first ones to introduce an android application solely for the Indian education sector. Thereby; making admission procedures convenient both for prospective students and institutes”
According to a recent report by Boston Consulting Group, it has been predicted that Mobile commerce is set to take off in India. At present, there are over 500 million mobile subscribers in the country, out of these there are about 25 million smart phone users in India. Elaborating on the same, Mr. Swapnil Dharmadhikari, Founder & Director Splashgain Technologies, said that “Looking at the immense potential of M commerce or Mobile commerce as a service in facilitating the education sector. ePravesh® will be introducing M- Commerce as a salient feature of the application which will enable the students, parents and working professionals to make the necessary payment for admission forms via their mobile phones. Further we will also make the application compatible to different mobile operating systems including iPhones and include more interactive features and live audio and video streaming options.”
While it is a boon for the students, it is also a blessing in disguise for the institutes as it would be an effective medium to reach out to their prospective students. Due to restrictions by the telecomm sector institutes are finding it increasingly difficult to reach out to their potential audience through SMS as a medium, hence the Updates facility of the application will help the college keep the registered students, parents or working professionals posted on the latest happenings in the institute apart from providing them information about new courses, new cell or division launched, awards and achievements and the seminars and conferences taking place in the institute. This saves the institute of the marketing and administrative expense they might have to incur to promote the above.
In short, keeping up with its objective of being a technological and educational partner for the students and institutes respectively, ePravesh® ensures that admissions are no longer a tedious process and now can be accessed on the go with a mobile.
