7 Common Admission Challenges— How OpenEduCat Solves Them?

An Admission Management System (AMS) is a comprehensive platform that is designed to automate and manage the end-to-end process of student admissions. Institutions face increasing challenges in handling large volumes of applications, maintaining data accuracy, ensuring timely communication, and meeting the expectations of tech-savvy students. Manual and paper-based systems not only slow down operations but also create room for human error, duplication, and inefficiency. An AMS will help institutes streamline workflows, reduce administrative burden, and deliver a faster, more transparent admission experience for both staff and applicants.

  • 68% higher applicant satisfaction with seamless, digital workflows. 

  • 82% of students say fast admissions impact their decision to enroll.

  • 34% higher conversion rates from lead to enrollment. 

  • 45% fewer application errors, thanks to automation. 

Less manual work = fewer delays, happier staff & students.
