The University Grants Commission issued a directive to all Indian universities to conduct online admissions. One of the greatest advantages of the online application system is that applicants can choose to submit their applications at their convenience. Universities and educational institutions are also at a major advantage due to quick access to student’s records and databases, efficient systems for filtering out candidates. The online admission system is highly reliable and efficient and eliminates chances of errors, but there are some problems also. In India, though Internet penetration is rather high, internet connectivity and speed issues are major problems and unawareness of rural students prevent them to take admission timely.
