Applications at Your Door Step

FormsDotStar is helping students apply in institutes sans the hassle of standing in queues, finds Paramita Mishra

Gone are the days when students had to queue up near windows of colleges to get application forms for their institute of choice. In a digital age when we not only pay our bills online, but also buy things from apparel to furniture to vegetables, how can educational institutes lag behind in the race?

Enter FormsDotStar, a user friendly system, which is making online enrolment a hassle-free process. A Creanovation Labs venture, it is based on next generation Forms Solution and is built with cutting edge technology.

Conceptualized in September 2010, FormsDotStar launched its first GoTo market ready beta version in April 2011. The platform so far has reached out to more than 250 universities, colleges, schools and other organizations across 22 states of the country. It at the same time has processed more than 3.5 lakh applications in the fiscal year of 2014-15.

“Some educational institutes today are a step ahead with their applications system. With modern technology and support mechanisms at their disposal, many of them are not only making application systems a smooth experience but are also ensuring to establish a closer engagement with prospective applicants. Some universities powered by FormsDotStar have started to offer application systems via mobile apps and are also coming up with innovative methods to make their applications go viral,” says Bikash Sahoo, CEO of FormsDotStar.

Institutes like XIMB, XLRI, JNU, IRMA, KIIT, IIHMR, Jain University, Vivekananda Global University and National Insurance Academy are among a few of its clients.

The firm recently spread its reach overseas with Stanford University being its latest partner.
