Enrollment today isn’t broken; it’s fragmented.
Across higher education institutions, K12 schools, coaching centers, EdTech companies, study abroad consultancies, and online degree programs, one common bottleneck remains: a disconnected, outdated admission process.
And at the heart of this chaos is the missing piece, a unified student admission portal.
Let’s dive into the top enrollment challenges faced by education teams and how Meritto’s purpose-built student admission portal solves them instantly.
1. Fragmented student experiences that lead to drop-offs
Most students interact with multiple teams: marketing, admissions, finance, and counseling, during enrollment. But without a central student admission portal, they’re forced to navigate different platforms, forms, and conversations.
- Use case: A student applies for an online MBA program. They fill out a form on the website, get a call from a counselor, make a payment on a third-party gateway, and never receive confirmation. The result? Confusion and churn.
- How Meritto helps: With Meritto’s student admission portal, students apply, communicate, track, and pay, all in one place. The single-login dashboard offers visibility into every step, boosting confidence and reducing abandonment.
2. Application chaos for admissions teams
Admissions teams spend hours verifying documents, updating Excel sheets, and chasing applicants for missing details. Without a unified workflow, speed and accuracy suffer.
- Use case: A K12 school receives applications via email, hard copies, and WhatsApp. Staff manually verify every form, slowing down decisions and frustrating parents.
- How Meritto helps: Meritto’s student admission portal brings every applicant into a unified system. Admissions teams can view application status, verify documents, send reminders, and conduct interviews, all from one screen.
3. Ineffective communication across channels
Imagine a student who’s interested but never receives a follow-up, or worse, gets three different messages from different counselors.
- Use case: A coaching institute runs Facebook ads, but the leads go cold after the first inquiry because no one tracks follow-ups.
- How Meritto helps: The student admission portal connects directly to WhatsApp, email, calls, and SMS. With smart automation, Meritto sends personalized follow-ups, tracks open rates, and alerts counselors in real time.
4. Missed opportunities in financial accessibility
Education is a big investment. Without integrated payments or financial planning, many students pause mid-journey.
- Use case: A study abroad consultancy loses a hot lead because the student couldn’t find loan options or payment flexibility.
- How Meritto helps: Meritto’s student admission portal connects students with EMI options, digital loan providers, and upfront payment workflows. Institutions get complete financial visibility, while students move forward confidently.
5. No insights into what’s working and what’s not
Education leaders often fly blind when it comes to marketing ROI, application conversion, or course popularity.
Use case: An EdTech company runs campaigns but has no clue which ones drive real enrollments.
How Meritto helps: With over 100+ advanced analytics dashlets, the student admission portal delivers real-time reports on performance, bottlenecks, and missed opportunities. You’ll know exactly where to invest, optimize, and scale.
