Schools use appointment systems to manage annual admission season rush

Each March, schools face a six-week surge in admission inquiries that overwhelms staff. Appointment booking systems are implemented to schedule parents, separate them from walk-ins, and manage the flow. The process categorizes visits into types like document verification, interviews, and tours, each requiring different staff and durations. Schools prioritize teacher-led interview slots as the scarcest resource, with other tasks scheduled around them. Reminder systems, particularly via WhatsApp, significantly improve parent arrival rates and preparedness.
