Thousands of students, every year, pursue their higher education at colleges and universities in different countries. However, deciding which college, course, or university is best for you takes a lot of time and effort. Intensive research and a lengthy application process make the task even more tedious. But with the emergence of artificial intelligence, the admission process has become smoother. Whether you want recommendations for courses and universities or to verify your documents, AI will simplify the job for you. With the proper use of this new-age technology, students can shortlist colleges and choose the best courses based on their knowledge and skills. This article will brief you on how AI is simplifying the admission process for students who want to study abroad. 

How does AI help in the Admission Process?  

1. Course and University Recommendations

It’s not easy to find a college or university that offers your preferred course as you have to consider various factors such as budget, location, accommodation, tuition fee, etc. With thousands of universities in the world, it will be quite difficult to decide which one is best for you. The UK and US alone have more than 2,000 institutions that accept students from all over the globe. By using artificial intelligence, students can get recommendations on the courses they should pursue based on their profile and preferences. Students who want to study in a foreign country can use various platforms that use artificial intelligence to recommend to you a list of courses and universities as per your needs. 

2. Improved course search results based on user analytics

With more than 60,000 undergraduate and postgraduate courses taught worldwide, it is quite difficult to find the one that meets your needs. It requires intensive research and hours of navigating to shortlist the programs that suit your niche. However, with artificial intelligence tools in your arsenal, you can find courses with a simple click of your mouse. AI tools simplify this task by taking user analytics into account. Universities can analyze their students’ career choices based on their subject preference, grades, location, etc. Furthermore, students can use platforms with AI-enabled chatbots that answer frequently asked questions related to courses, universities, the application process, location, etc.  

3. Automated document verification

While applying to a university, you will have to submit some documents for verification which can take days. AI, however, enables automated document verification to make the application process less time-consuming. This automated process speeds up the documentation and enrollment process. It means the university can process your application quickly, and you will get your acceptance/rejection letter much sooner. 

4. Automated guidance   

Most students, while applying to colleges, have queries and need an immediate response from the university. However, they may not get their answers due to the difference in time zones. But AI can resolve such issues for students through chatbots, which act like human beings and provide answers to your queries. Chatbots can direct the students throughout the application process and answer their questions based on courses, universities, the application process, brochures, fee structures, and much more.
