Lead capture, CRM & marketing automation

🎯
Lead CRM · Scoring · Tele-Calling

Admission Lead CRM

Stop losing students to slow follow-ups. Every lead — from every channel — lands in one dashboard. Counsellors call, log notes, and track progress without switching tools.

  • Multi-channel capture: Auto-sync from website forms, Facebook Lead Ads, Google Ads, Shiksha, and CollegeDunia
  • Activity-based lead scoring: A transparent point system ranks leads by what they actually do — form started, documents uploaded, fee paid, calls answered, replies — so counsellors work the warmest first (no black-box AI)
  • Built-in dialer: Call leads directly from the CRM; notes and call duration logged automatically
  • Role-based access: Counsellors see only their assigned leads; managers see all — with a full audit trail
📨
WhatsApp · SMS · Email · Drip

Consent-based drip messaging

Most students don't apply on the first visit. CampusAlly keeps your institution top-of-mind with timed, consent-based communication — no manual follow-ups needed.

  • DLT-registered templates: WhatsApp, SMS, and email follow-ups sent with applicant consent under TRAI TCCCPR 2018 — no spammy, non-compliant blasts
  • Behaviour triggers: Automatically nudge an applicant who dropped off at the payment page — "your application is waiting"
  • Campaign analytics: Track delivery, opens, and conversion per campaign across WhatsApp, SMS, and email
  • Open-house invites: Bulk-invite shortlisted candidates to counselling sessions or campus events in one click

Online application, verification & merit lists

📱
Application Portal · Upload · Fee

Online application portal

A mobile-friendly, branded portal where students apply, upload documents, and pay the application fee — 24/7, from any device, without walking into the college.

  • Dynamic form builder: Create different forms for UG, PG, and PhD programs without writing code — drag, drop, configure
  • Conditional logic: Show a GATE/CUET score field only when relevant; hide fields that don't apply
  • Document upload: Students submit 10th/12th marksheets, caste certificates, and entrance scorecards; files auto-compressed
  • Application fee: UPI, cards, and net banking — with instant receipt and real-time reconciliation
📋
Merit List · Cut-offs · Quotas

Merit list & cut-off generator

No more Excel rank lists full of formula errors. CampusAlly generates category-wise merit lists with configurable weightage rules — in seconds.

  • Composite score engine: Configure weightage per program — e.g. 12th marks 60% + entrance score 40% (CUET, state CET, or institutional test)
  • Multi-round cut-offs: Define cut-offs for Round 1, Round 2, and spot admissions with carry-forward vacancy auto-detection
  • Category sorting: Auto-segregates lists for General, SC/ST, OBC, EWS, Management, NRI, and horizontal reservations (PWD, Sports)
  • Verification gate: Back-office staff mark documents Verified or Resubmit (with SMS alerts) before a candidate enters the merit list

Counselling day, seat allocation & onboarding

🎫
Token · Live Seat Matrix · Reservation

Counselling & seat allocation

Counselling day is the most chaotic day of the cycle. CampusAlly turns it into a smooth, digital process with a live seat matrix and token queue.

  • Digital token queue: Students receive tokens; display screens show the live queue and seat availability — no crowding
  • Live seat matrix: Real-time seat count per program and category, visible to counsellors and on lobby screens at once
  • Instant offer letter: Provisional admission letter generated and printed the moment a seat is confirmed
  • Quota enforced at allocation: Reservation rules applied automatically — counsellors can't override without authorisation
🎓
Admission Fee · Roll Number · ID Card

Admission fee & student onboarding

Close the loop in a single session. Once a seat is confirmed, take the admission fee, assign the roll number, and onboard the student — no second visit needed.

  • Admission-fee step: Generate a challan or collect online in the same session; ongoing fees, dues, and scholarships then live in the Finance module
  • Auto roll number: Permanent Roll Numbers or USNs assigned automatically on payment, by your university's logic
  • ID-card export: Student photo and data exported to ID-card printing vendors in the required format
  • Academic handover: Confirmed students flow into the Academic Management module — no re-keying
Counselling day deep-dive

Manage counselling day without the chaos

Counselling day is where most manual systems break down. Here's how CampusAlly keeps it calm.

On counselling day, hundreds of students and parents arrive at once. Without a digital system, counsellors lose track of seat counts, quota rules get violated, and admission letters take hours to generate.

CampusAlly's counselling module uses a digital token queue. Students are called in order. When their number appears, the counsellor sees exactly which seats are available in real time — across every program and category — and locks one with a click.

The provisional admission letter prints immediately. Fee payment is triggered in the same session. The student leaves enrolled, not waiting for a callback.

Without CampusAlly, counselling day looks like this
😤 Counsellors calling each other to check seat counts in Excel
⚠️ Quota violations discovered after the fact — complaints follow
🖨️ Admission letters typed and printed one by one
📋 Roll numbers assigned manually — duplicates happen

Use cases

Who uses CampusAlly for admissions?

From single-campus colleges to multi-program universities — here's how the admission module fits.

Admission Officer

Run every cycle without spreadsheets

UG, PG, and PhD admissions run in parallel — separate forms, merit lists, and seat matrices — all from one dashboard. No Excel, no confusion.

Counselling Team

Run a high-volume counselling day calmly

Digital token queue, live seat matrix, and instant admission-letter generation keep counselling day organised even when hundreds arrive at once.

Marketing Team

Know which leads actually convert

See which channels — Facebook, Shiksha, Google — bring students who actually enrol. Put budget where it works, not where it looks good.

Principal / Registrar

See enrolment progress in real time

Live dashboards show seat fill rates, category-wise occupancy, and admission-fee status — no waiting for reports from the admission office.

Deemed Universities

Management + government quota, one system

Management quota and government reservation categories handled in the same seat matrix. Rules enforced automatically — no manual overrides.

Distance & Online Programs

Run admissions entirely online

Application, document verification, counselling, and the admission-fee step done online. Students in any city can complete admission without visiting campus.

Frequently asked questions

College admissions — questions answered

Questions from Admission Officers, Registrars, and Counsellors who evaluated CampusAlly.

A College (or University) Admission Management System automates the complete admission process — from capturing student enquiries and processing online applications, to generating merit lists, managing counselling-day seat allocation, and collecting admission fees. CampusAlly's system supports UG, PG, and PhD cycles, handles quota-based seat allocation for all reservation categories, weights entrance scores from CUET, state CETs, and institutional entrance tests, and integrates with lead portals like Shiksha and CollegeDunia.
Yes. CampusAlly can run multiple active admission cycles at the same time — for example Engineering UG, MBA, and PhD admissions in parallel, each with separate workflows, application forms, merit lists, and fee structures. Every cycle is fully independent with its own seat matrix and counselling rounds.
CampusAlly's merit list engine calculates composite scores from configurable weightage rules — for example, 12th board marks at 60% and an entrance score (CUET, state CET, or institutional test) at 40%. It auto-generates ranked lists for each program and category (General, SC/ST, OBC, EWS, Management). Multiple counselling rounds can be configured with progressive cut-offs, and carry-forward vacancies are identified automatically.
Yes. CampusAlly applies government reservation rules automatically. The seat matrix is configured with category-wise quotas — General, SC/ST, OBC, EWS, Management, NRI, and others — and allocates seats strictly by merit rank within each category. Horizontal reservations (PWD, Sports, Ex-Servicemen) are also supported, and counsellors cannot override quota rules without authorisation.
CampusAlly's counselling module uses a digital token system. Students are called in token order; when their turn arrives, the counsellor sees live seat availability for all programs and categories on screen and on lobby displays. The counsellor can lock a seat in real time, generate a provisional admission letter instantly, and trigger fee payment — all within the same session. No paper forms, no waiting.
Yes. CampusAlly's Admission CRM auto-syncs leads from your website, Facebook Lead Ads, Google Ads, Shiksha, CollegeDunia, and walk-in registration forms into a single dashboard. Counsellors can call, log notes, and send follow-ups via WhatsApp, SMS, and email — sent through DLT-registered templates with the applicant's consent, in line with TRAI TCCCPR 2018.
Students upload documents — 10th and 12th marksheets, caste certificates, entrance scorecards — through the online application portal. Back-office staff review uploads and mark them as Verified or flag them for Resubmission with comments sent to the student via SMS. Verification status is tracked per document per applicant, so nothing falls through the cracks.
CampusAlly supports UPI, credit/debit cards, net banking, and digital challans for bank deposit — for both application and admission fees. Integration with major payment gateways such as Razorpay and BillDesk gives real-time reconciliation, and students get an instant digital receipt. Ongoing fee management — semester fees, scholarships, dues — is handled in the Finance module, which the admission fee data syncs into.
