About St Andrews

St. Andrews Institute of Technology & Management is in the industrial hub of India, in Gurgaon, Delhi (NCR). Their mission is to empower the new generation of truly global Indians to enrich thought & lives. They have 5 campuses situated in the NCR region. 

Before using LeadSquared, the college was dependent on manual processes and used a pen-and-paper approach to manage student admissions. 

This led to a major disconnect between counsellor approaching the students.

Challenges

1. Longer TATs due to scattered data

With manual processes, it took time for them to sort & filter high intent leads. This led to a delay in making the first contact with the student.

2. Complex enrollment & onboarding process

With a pen-and-paper-based approach, inquiries were manually updated on excel sheets. Students had to fill multiple forms and share repeated information while enrolling for a course.

“When our counsellors were approaching students through excel or google sheets, it was a tedious task,”

3. Lead leakage & duplication

Because the inquiries were scattered across multiple sheets, it was not possible to neither enter all queries nor validate duplicate entries.

4. Lack of data visibility to track team & campaign performance

Admission and marketing heads did not have enough visibility to understand how teams were performing and what campaigns to spend on.

Solutions

One platform to capture and manage inquiries across sources

After implementing LeadSquared, the institution could capture inquiries from all sources – website visits, social media interactions, offline queries. The counsellors had all the required information about the student even before making the first call.

Self-serve student portals

The enrollment process became less complicated with our admission portals. Students could fill in the application forms, track the status, and get required documents from the same portal. Counsellors could track student drop-offs, movement of applications, and communicate with students in real-time.

360-view of the admissions funnel

When dealing with 2500+ inquiries per day, it is necessary to track the quality and intent of inquiries that are handled by the counsellors. Having complete visibility of how various channels, counsellors, and movement in applications, is a necessity.

LeadSquared changed the entire experience for students that applied here. I would recommend if an institution were to level up its admissions game, then this Admissions CRM would be a definite investment to look into.
