Student’s Experience - Online Admission Process 2020
Eva Maheshwari PGDM, E-Business Batch 2020-22 With the coronavirus wreaking havoc across the world, while we stay safe at our homes with schools and colleges shut, there is a mad dash to compensate for the lost time by introducing various models of online learning and conducting admissions through online process. With the lack of availability of traditional means of college admissions, students, just like me, were frantic about admissions looking for a silver lining during such catastrophic times. However, online mode of admissions came to our rescue. I had gone through the similar admission process here in WeSchool. Everything went off without a hitch. I remember calling and sending emails time and again when I had any issue regarding my application and they sorted it out. For my every query, the college administration was prompt and helpful. My GDPI was scheduled in the morning shift. I received the link few minutes prior to the reporting time. I was nervous as it was going to be my very first interview at an online platform. The process started at the right time. The panel had two college faculties. They briefed me about the whole procedure. It was going to be a two fold process. The first phase was an extempore in which I had to speak on the given topic for five minutes followed by the PI part in which I was asked some general questions about my course preferences and how the current business situation is affected by Coronavirus crisis and few more. This two way interaction went on seamlessly for approximately half an hour. Personally, I had a wonderful experience with the mode, mostly because both the interviewer was pretty cordial. The entire session was so hassle free, with no waiting in queues for the panel call, unlike the conventional way. We did not have to travel all the way to some other city and get interviewed in unfamiliar surroundings. Sitting in front of a camera enabled screen, on your couch in the formal attire, at your own home, was all it took to make me a part of this eminent institution.
