Digital Transformation in B-school Admissions through Virtual Post Application Platform

Learn how VPA Platform enabled B-schools to drive their post application processes online with increased candidate turnout, cost efficiency and operational efficiency to drive quality admissions.

Are you still conducting the entire selection process for a B-School admissions offline? Once you've received the applications, how do you actually go about in conducting the entrance test or group discussions or interviews for admissions?

Earlier, B schools used to conduct the entire post application process manually in offline centres across the country. 

B-school Selection Process:

  • Slot Booking,
  • Allocating the Panellists
  • Group Discussion
  • Shortlisting and Generating the Merit List, 
  • Verifying the Documents
  • Declaring the results for the candidates

It also leads to choke team bandwidth, delayed ruin turnarounds, which eventually leads to fewer quality admissions. In the wake of covid-19, Meritto launched Virtual Post Application Platform, or VPA to empower the B-schools to manage their entire selection process online in a much more streamlined manner. From conducting the entrance tests, group discussions, written ability tests and personal interviews, to shortlisting and generating merit lists, from scoring and evaluating the candidates to verifying their documents, for declaration of the results to token fee management, all of this can now be managed online on a centralised platform. In 2020, a large number of B-Schools have used VPA across the country to automate their processes. This has helped them make better decisions, boosted their application to enrollment rate, and driven quality admissions seamlessly.

B-schools saw an average of 89.25% of the total student turnout ratio. This is almost 15% to 25%, up from last year. Overall, 95% of cost efficiency and 40% of operational efficiency.
